Your Story Matters

"A Catholic and a Protestant walk into a convent.” Thus begins the remarkable story of THE HUB, a ragtag group of Christians, seekers and a heretic who rediscover the ancient power of story to forge deep spiritual connections, open pathways to healing and glimpse anew our risen Lord.

Journey with THE HUB as they discover how the simple practice of sharing personal stories forms spaces of genuine grace and spirituality. Along the way HUB co-founder Fritz Nelson explores storytelling’s theological and scriptural foundations, shows how the practice of storytelling can forge holy community and provides practical tips for those wanting to embrace storytelling as a central discipline of their faith. In doing so he invites the reader into reimagining what it might mean to be church together.

Since our forbearers gathered around campfires we’ve told stories. To be invited to tell our story is to be affirmed as a person created in the divine image and filled with divine breath. To hear a neighbor’s story is to receive a precious gift; a gift of God for the people of God.
