Placed in the heart of every human being is a desire for a deep and intimate connection with God and others. As Christians we are called to engage the whole world with the message of God’s love. The door to heart-level connection is story. Everyone has a story they want to share. When we sincerely engage our neighbors on the level of their story we build a connection and earn the right to share the reason we put our hope in Christ.
