You desire to see your story awakened and your heart refreshed this summer. We are birthing tomorrow’s stories by pouring into storytellers today. 

 

What Will You Learn This Summer?

During the twelve weeks of summer, we’re offering our best-selling course, The Power of Story. You're invited to join us for a virtual summer camp experience. Power of Story LIVE  creates space for you to stay on track this summer as we feast on God’s Word and engage with your personal story. It is a 12-week online summer camp writing experience that walks you through the step-by-step process of crafting a personal story into a 1000-word devotional.

Power of Story LIVE kicks off Monday, June 5th.

In the three months of summer, you receive video training in all six stages of the writing process, from idea, planning, and organizing, to writing, editing, and publishing. In addition, we meet up three times for live QnA and co-working for the summer camp crew. Replays are made available in your private learning portal.  Learn and practice the steps you need to craft any writing project, from a short blog piece or social media post to a devotional, essay, Bible study, book, or novel.
