How did I learn to say I love you to another man? My friend Mark taught me. Growing up without a father left me with an empty space. Being groomed and molested by my Youth Pastor from ~ 14- 16 years old, left me with homophobia. These factors made understanding love as a youth, difficult …

GIVE YOUR STORY

If you're interested in Giving Your Story of Hope, you can email your story to Phil@giveyourstory.com following the provided story sharing guide below.

Story Giving Guide

Story Giving Guide: Your story can be about any topic. For your story to be considered it should include what happened, how you overcame the experience, and what it is like now. Your story can be submitted in a short paragraph or you can give more detail. Please keep your story to a 5 minute read (approximately 1000 words) maximum. This is a safe place to share your story. You may submit your story anonymously if you choose. Obscene words if part of the story may be altered or obscured. Negative feedback to a story of hope will not be tolerated. If your story is considered for post it may be edited for spelling, grammar, content and length. Thank You.

The purpose of Give Your Story is to create a safe space where individuals can share their personal stories, providing experience, strength and hope, to others facing life's challenges. The goal is to foster a community of support and inspiration through the sharing of stories that include what happened, how the person overcame the experience, and what life is like now. We can leverage the power of our stories to help others. While each person's story is unique, many of us share common threads. When someone shares their story, it often leads to identification, validation, and connection. The power of storytelling goes beyond personal reflection; it can provide motivation for change and offer solutions to similar situations. When you give your story, you offer someone HOPE. Together we can inspire hope in others, utilizing not only my own story but yours as well. By giving your story, we can collectively grow for the better. This platform encourages positive engagement and offers the option for anonymous submissions to ensure a secure environment.
