Discover short Christian stories of encouragement
These personal, faith-based stories share how the author’s relationship with God developed or grew deeper over time, revealing the healing, transformation, and grace found through Jesus Christ.
Each story we publish follows our editorial standards. It’s edited by Faith Storytellers editor Mackenzie Ryan Walters, an author and former journalist, to follow a narrative storytelling structure — and to ensure God’s divine fingerprints are highlighted in each story we publish.
Written in the narrative short stories format we teach, each contains an inspirational message — a personal statement of belief — about what the author knows to be true about God.
We do not include “teaching” or “preaching,” however, preferring that these testimonies stand on their own. That way, God can work through the authors’ stories to share the message he has for you to read.
We hope these short Christian stories of encouragement will deepen your faith and help you grow closer to God!
Why read short Christian stories?
Short inspirational stories can draw you closer to God and deepen your Christian faith. At Faith Storytellers, we’ve published dozens of true, first-person stories and believe that reading and sharing them can:
Build faith quickly as you realize that God is active and at work in our world today. Each story shares evidence of God’s work in the author’s life.
Bring comfort that you’re not alone. God is with you and loves you. Many readers seek out these testimonies during sleepless nights or in the early morning hours of the day as they share concrete reminders of God’s love and faith.
Show God’s love in real situations. While the circumstances and details may be different from your own life, you’ll discover common patterns and ways God loves his children — including you!
Inspire you to share your own story. Many believers come to Jesus because of the stories shared by their family and friends. Whether you submit your story for publication or share it informally in conversation, you’re making a real and lasting difference!
