1 PETER 3:15 (NIV)
You're in the right place.
I assure you that you do have a story worth sharing –no matter how seemingly ordinary or extraordinary – and God wants to use it to draw people to Him. You get to be an active participant in a God-given mission to touch hearts, ignite faith, and glorify God.
People connect through stories. Let me help you share yours with confidence, clarity, and purpose so you are ready for the next opportunity God brings your way.
Everything is scary the first time, but with a little preparation and practice, you would be surprised how quickly you can move out of your comfort zone and gain the confidence you need to share your story...whether with an individual, a small group, or a large audience.
A book that has long been on my heart has finally been birthed to help you and other believers from all walks of life uncover the importance of your story and how to share it with others who need to know and experience the love and message of hope that only comes from Christ.
I'm Mary Ann Mariani, and God is allowing me to use my years of experience as a professional presentation skills coach to help others make a difference for the Kingdom. Being a good communicator is a life skill that pays dividends today and as a believer, dividends for eternity. People's very lives are at stake!
Even if you haven’t scaled mountains or faced life-altering challenges, your everyday experiences, joys, struggles, and moments of growth hold profound value. It’s in the mundane routines, the quiet victories, and the small acts of kindness that God’s presence and character is most palpable.
It's not the magnitude of the story that matters, but the sincerity of the heart behind it. My new book, Your Story for God's Glory is your roadmap to confidently share your story and leave a profound impact on the hearts and lives of others.
Bring Mary Ann to your church, nonprofit ministry or Christian organization for a Story Workshop to help people confidently share their story - either personally or organizationally.
