7-Who Is a StoryMaker?

A StoryMaker is someone who is after God’s heart, intentionally pursues a relationship with Him, and takes personal responsibility for shaping their life according to His truth. Rather than living passively, a StoryMaker partners with the Holy Spirit to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

You are here because you desire to live with purpose. Like Esther, you may not fully see the impact of your life yet, but you sense a calling to something greater. You have a voice and a purpose, and it's time to cultivate the story you were meant to live.

Too often, we go through life unaware of the power we have—living by default, suppressing emotions, and blaming external circumstances. But the truth is, everything that can be shaken will be shaken so that what is unshakable remains (Hebrews 12:27). The question is, will you wait for crisis to wake you up, or will you step forward in faith now?

StoryMakers don’t wait for permission or perfect circumstances. We allow God to refine us, rise up for truth and justice, and plant seeds of faith—whether as small as a mustard seed or as big as an oak. We embrace our true identity, stand for what is right, and walk in love.

Join us as we unpack what it means to be a StoryMaker and how you can step boldly into your calling.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. A StoryMaker is not passive but intentional. Instead of waiting for circumstances to force change, a StoryMaker partners with God in the refining process and takes action.

2. Living by default is not our calling. We are meant to think about what we think, consciously choose what we believe, and embrace the full depth of our emotions rather than suppressing or ignoring them.

3. We co-create with God to impact generations. Being a StoryMaker is not just about personal growth but about bringing freedom, justice, and love to others through our actions and words.

Listener Challenge:

This week, take time to reflect on where you might be living by default rather than intention. Ask God to reveal an area of your life where He is inviting you to step forward in faith. Write down one action step you can take to align your story with His purpose—whether it’s speaking truth, stepping out in courage, or simply being faithful with what’s in front of you today.
