Helping churches & groups facilitate deep spiritual connection & growth
Equip your members to establish deep, meaningful relationships and further their journey of spiritual formation. Together, we’ll unpack weighty theological concepts and apply them to everyday life.
Foster authentic connection and community within your congregation
In a world often characterized by isolation and superficial relationships, we believe in the transformative power of deep connections—with God, oneself, and others.
At Larger Story, we work hand in hand with local churches to nurture vibrant communities of faith. We understand the challenges churches face in fostering spiritual growth and meaningful connections among their members.

Closer
to Jesus
Larger Story brought me closer to Jesus
No words are adequate to express how Larger Story has impacted my relationship with Jesus. I didn't realize what I hadn't known until I went to the School of Spiritual Direction and the Next Step School. It was used by God to turn my eyes to Jesus with a depth I had never experienced. Giving to Larger Story is so integral to my life. I love supporting this amazing ministry so they can continue to impact many more people's lives for Christ.

Larger Story changed the trajectory of our lives
Giving to Larger Story is both a privilege and a priority for Debbye and me. Fifteen years ago, through Larry’s ministry, God changed the trajectory of our lives and our focus became one of relational spirituality. Our entire family has known the transformative impact of his ministry and we want to see his legacy continue in the lives of our children and hopefully our grandchildren. Larger Story is doing an important work making Larry’s resources accessible in new formats for new audiences and we consider it a honor to assist that effort with our contributions.

We know and understand so much because of Larger Story
We now we have a place to relate as the trinity does with others. We now know and understand why some things work, what is institutional practice, and what is more Trinitarian relating. As a result we feel much more alive in His Spirit, and loving the walk with Him in a deeper, more personal way.
