STORIES
Ever wondered how your story and God’s story might intersect?
We’d love to share stories from some of our own to show you the practical ways that knowing Jesus has impacted our lives. From working through fury with whānau to being stopped from suicide, these are tales where brokenness meets beauty. We hope they stretch your imagination for how your life could look if God was in the thick of it.
“I wanted to have hope…”
When Klauss lost two loved ones, anger and bitterness were what he had instead. Persistent strangers, jandals, and a gutting triple denial – what did these have to do with finding hope? Klauss shares here.
“Nineteen months ago, I was drowning in a deep sea of brokenness, depression, and hopelessness…”
These days when Grace looks in the mirror, she sees a completely different person smiling back at her.
Trigger warning: This post deals with themes of depression, sexual abuse and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.
“Mum filled the gap you left as a Dad…”
From being fatherless, to forgotten, and finally forgiven: this is a letter to a father who walked out on his family for over 13 years.
“There was a night I told my Dad that I didn’t want to be his daughter anymore…”
Things kept hidden had come to light and Grace was devastated. But she and her Dad have come a long and unexpected way since then.
We believe that our God is a storyteller at heart; since we are made in God’s likeness, we are native storytellers too. Each of our life stories carries weight and worth. Believe it or not, God’s grand story and our life stories are more interwoven than most people realise.
Maybe you’re low on hope right now. If that’s you, we would love to listen to your story and chat through any questions these videos brought up. Just pass on your details and we’ll be in touch soon.
