the story behind the stories

It came quiet one night. The idea that permeated the mind and pierced the heart right through.

What if we could talk about the hard things and pull on heart strings and gather around stories? What if our minds cranked into full steam and we wrestled the questions all the way into the dirt of the ground?

What if those topics of discussion – you know the ones, the ones that everyone avoids at the Thanksgiving table – became the common language and we bottled up fear, instead of allowing it to flood the gates?

What if? What if we could actually toss aside the brutal blunt force of our cemented opinion and engage the senses instead… painted pictures with words and ignited imagination?

What if story became the vehicle?

It’s easy to tell someone your opinion. It’s hard work telling them your story.

And this place, where we put stories to issues close to the heart of God, was birthed out of the darkness.

A word of caution:

Some of the world’s darkest problems will be exposed and sifted through here in this space. These can and may include topics like human trafficking, pornography and abuse. Please be mindful about who is around your computer when you read here. Sometimes, we use rough language when the topics deem it necessary and the content you might read here is not always for the faint of heart. If your child is not ready to engage these ideas yet, please be aware.

What we believe:

The storytellers and the team behind A Deeper Story are firmly committed to and believers of Jesus Christ. We believe that He was the only Son of God, came to earth as a Man, lived a life without sin, and died on the cross as a living sacrifice for the sins of the world. We believe that on the third day after His crucifixion, He rose from the dead, defeating death and sealing the promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him.
