Your story—every twist, ache, and triumph—is sacred.

It’s not just a collection of moments. It’s a window into who you are and how God is at work in your life. But too often, we try to forget our past or bury the pain. We assume healing means “moving on.”

But what if healing begins by going back?

You're invited to join us for the Story Workshop—a 3 ½ day, in-person experience that invites you to write, share, and explore your story in a space shaped by care, wisdom, and hope.

Over the course of the 3 ½ day weekend experience, you will:

  • Receive live, interactive teaching on the impact of trauma and the theology of story from Dr. Dan Allender, Rachael Clinton Chen, Wendell Moss, and the Allender Center teaching team.

  • Engage in seven Story Group sessions—guided, small-groups led by NFTC Certified Facilitators designed to help you uncover more meaning and move toward blessing your story.

  • Be supported by a thoughtfully-paced schedule that includes moments of rest, spiritual practices, and personal reflection.

Register by June 2 to save $250!

The full cost for this 3½-day in-person workshop is $1,745—but when you register early, you’ll pay just $1,495.

Early registration also gives you access to set up a 3-month payment plan, making it even easier to join us.

This isn’t just about healing your past.
