The Faith Story App® helps Christians organize a personal testimony and share it in no more than five minutes.^1 You sign in and work through faith story modules built around 10 questions, with sections that include how you became a Christian, coming to Christ as a child or as an adult, meeting Christ in a Christian home, and the difference Christ has made in your life.^1 People who have finished a story can choose to share it publicly on the Other Stories page, where stories from other Christians are already posted for anyone to read.^3
The app comes from Strategic Impact Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Tulsa, Oklahoma.^4 Bob Bartz, a practicing attorney, founded the ministry and created the app so Christians can tell how they came to Jesus in a short, thoughtful presentation.^2 On the Follower of One podcast, Bartz walked through why sharing a testimony matters, how conversation and prayer fit into it, and how the 10 questions help form a faith story.^2
Before the website existed, the ministry presented the same material as a hard-copy binder to LifeGroups and Bible study groups, a method that worked but was not nearly as scalable as needed.^5 Hessler Design built the web experience, handling site architecture, development, and ongoing maintenance and technical support, from a design by Andy Knight.^5
