Our Story
God has turned what began as a small group into a worldwide movement!
In January of 2016, Robyn was in a small group with some friends where each week someone would share their story of God's faithfulness in their lives. Each week, as they were vulnerable and real, something beautiful happened - they not only began seeing each other with new eyes, but they also saw each other as who God created each woman to be. And, an idea began to form - what if this could be done in a large setting?
A Ministry Birthed
When God gives you a dream and you take action - HANG ON FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!
A year and a half after that small group, God gave Robyn the vision of holding open gatherings in her home, where a woman would share her story of an experience in her life where God met her - she simply called the event at her home, StoryTellers. Over 75 women showed up at the first gathering, and a ministry began to unfold. Women would walk away thinking, “If God did that in their life, He can do something in my life too!" As God continued to affirm the ministry, an idea of recording the stories and airing them as a podcast began to unfold. After all, the stories being told each week were working powerfully in the lives of those attending, why not allow others who couldn't attend hear them? In the Fall of 2017, the StoryTellers Live podcast was birthed.
StoryTellers Live Communities Developed
When everyday people share real and personal stories of encounters with God, lives are changed.
As the audience of the podcast grew and women in other cities across the United States heard of Robyn's idea, inquiries began to come in as to how a StoryTellers community could be developed in their city. This expansion allowed for even more women, from different areas of the country and in all walks of life, to share their stories of walking with God. Today, the StoryTellers community includes nine cities with more being added each season. And, as a beautiful, unexpected gift of 2020, StoryTellers Live now includes open submissions of stories from women (and men) all over the country who long to tell of the difference God has made in their life. God never ceases to amaze us in ALL that He's done in the ministry, and, He continues to give us vision in ways to grow the ministry so everyone will know they have a story only they can tell!
