Have you ever been asked to “share your testimony”? Or how about the infamous, “So…what’s your life story?” For the average person, these questions invoke a deer-in-headlights expression, and a semi-frantic mental inventory of highs and lows on one’s life timeline thus far.

At ROCKHARBOR, we think of a “life story” in simpler terms: It can be a single page or chapter, rather than the entire “book.” It’s mostly about God rather than about us. It answers the question, “How has God changed your life lately?” And it doesn’t have to be dramatic.

God designed us with change in mind as He shapes us into the people He created us to become. And He loves to tell the stories of lives He has changed. Why? Because God knows one person’s story can be the catalyst that changes others.

The stories you read here are the story of ROCKHARBOR—individual lives connected and being changed through shared pursuit of Jesus Christ. We hope God will touch you through these lives that are being transformed. And maybe He’ll nudge you to tell your own story in response.
