Our God Stories

All of us have a story.  

There are parts of our story we are proud of and parts we may share with only a few trusted friends, if at all.  Our stories help us connect with one another, build each other’s faith in God and demonstrate how God has been present in our lives.

At Life, we value authenticity and sharing the real version of ourselves.  We are grateful for those who are brave and share their testimony on video, so people they may never have the privilege of meeting, may be built up.

May these videos encourage you in your faith journey.
