STORIESx8 is a small group experience that guides women through the journey of sharing their stories, finding freedom in the process, and living a lifestyle of confession.
We are strong. Capable. Wise.
But secretly we feel broken. Wounded. Hurt. Lost. Life has left its mark. We limp along, pretending we’re okay, a smile on our face. Never admitting to ourselves or to anyone else that we’re struggling.
We want to be known, loved, and heard.
But we isolate ourselves instead and become disconnected from one another. We think that no one can possibly understand what we’re going through. We can’t face the judgment that will come when people know our pain. And besides, we believe it’s selfish to unload your burdens on others.

We become silent. We hide our history. We live in darkness.
But there is a better way. It is a way that brings a new level of freedom. A way that allows us to be real and vulnerable and loved. It is the way of confession.

Transforming Women from the Inside-Out
“I have learned to meet people where they are. When you hear someone’s story it is impossible to be judgmental towards them because you understand them better.”
“I’ve learned how to replace feelings of anxiety, worry, and depression with feelings of peace, joy, and hope. The sweet taste of freedom and victory is so much better than the bitter dregs of bondage and defeat!”
“Telling my story in a safe environment has been the most freeing thing I’ve ever done. I have learned that my story defines who I am & I’m proud of who I am.”
Start a STORIESx8 Small Group Experience
Starting a STORIESx8 group is a simple process. We don’t believe you have to be perfect or have it all together to be a leader. In fact, being able to admit you don’t have all the answers is key to being a great leader.
All we ask is that you keep an open mind and a humble attitude as you lead a group through the experience.
All STORIESx8 leaders are welcome to join our Community Leader Program as part of your kit purchase. This gives you access to our Private Facebook Group.
