my story + his story
About Us
Story Strong is a collection of study guides meant to be used in community. Specific Bible readings are combined with discussion questions to lead participants towards meaningful moments. It is our prayer that personal sharing will lead to closer relationships with each other and with God.
Created by a middle-aged mom who enjoys asking questions, this guide is meant to be used by a wide range of ages. An optional icebreaker is included in the Connect section at the end of each study. Feel free to use as seems best for your group. The discussion questions are an important part of the experience but are also meant to be adapted as needed.
If you have questions or ideas for improvement, please feel free to reach out! It is our prayer that you are blessed as you spend time in The Word.
Study Format
01
Connect
Icebreaker activity tailored towards that day’s topic. This can be omitted or altered according to the group’s preferences.
02
Your Story
This is a discussion question about something we are all experts in – our own lives. The question is designed to point towards the study for that day, helping to lay the groundwork for future application.
03
Listen
Now it is time to focus on God’s word, whether read aloud or silently. A specific passage is chosen for that day to focus the minds and hearts of the group on His realities.
04
Look Back
We believe that God’s word is a beautifully interconnected masterpiece. By looking at other stories in the Bible, we can often find additional meaning for the passage at hand.
05
His story in my life
To end the study, specific questions are asked to help apply that day’s learning to everyday life. The love of Jesus is looked at in a practical way for each person.
