Kassidy is involved with music evaluation and working to grow the My Story branch of CIAM’s new online broadcast platform, The CHOICE.
I’ve been blessed with another year of sharing in the gift of storytelling. Stories shape how we understand ourselves, each other, and the world around us. They carry our memories, our wounds, our joys, and our hopes. It has been an incredible privilege to listen to people’s stories, to learn who they are, and to build deeper connections through their openness.
In a world where success and celebration are highlighted far more than hardship, many people feel isolated- convinced that no one truly understands what they’re going through. But when we share our raw and honest stories, we begin to recognize that we aren’t alone. There is someone out there who understands, and that realization can be profoundly healing.
Storytelling has long helped people form deep, lasting connections. Every person holds a unique story with the power to resonate in countless ways. The My Story platform creates a space for these narratives to reach people from all backgrounds through modern media. By sharing their experiences, individuals can connect with others they may never meet in everyday life, fostering understanding and genuine relationships. These shared stories spark conversations, build community, and offer comfort to those who might feel alone in their struggles.
One of My Story’s greatest attributes is its inclusivity, there is room for everyone. My Story allows individuals to express themselves in the way that feels most authentic to them. Some may choose video or audio; others may prefer to write and allow someone else to give voice to their words. And for those who aren’t ready to share, simply listening is a meaningful act of participation.
As My Story continues to grow, I invite you to pray that people will find the courage to open their hearts and share the stories waiting within them—and that those stories will reach those who most need to hear them. And if you have a story we would be happy to hear it and help you share it. If you’d like to share your story please email [email protected].
My hope is that the Lord is revealed to listeners through every narrative. Even when His name is not spoken, His presence can surely be felt
