No previous writing experience is needed! That’s actually why our founder, J Kelly Ladner wrote, Remember, Record, Recite.

These guidelines are here to empower you to share your story with confidence, clarity, and authenticity. They’ll help you focus on the key moments where God’s presence was evident and ensure your testimony is both meaningful and easy for others to hear and understand.

For accepted stories, we'll provide suggestions or revision request to help develop your story.

We prefer to publish unique stories that have not yet been published elsewhere. This is for a few reasons:

1. We want to bring our audience a unique story and reading experience that they haven’t read elsewhere.

2. Other publishers may have the rights to your story. In the Materials Release Agreement, we specifically ask that you acknowledge that you have the right to enter into the agreement and do not need permission from a third party to do so.

3. We believe we each have many stories to share about our relationship with God. Pray about other stories that explore how God deepened your faith our grew your relationship with him. Maybe this is an opportunity to share a smaller, “mustard seed” story, which our readers love!

Generally speaking, there are three faith story genres that we publish. Pick one and let your Christian writing journey begin:

• Salvation: The most foundational failure, is our separation from God before salvation. At the root of every human failure is our fallen nature—original sin—and our tendency to resist God’s Word. This is why our Salvation story, our first testimony, is so powerful: it demonstrates how, by faith and repentance, God rescued us from the consequences of our failures and introduced us to His grace and mercy.

• Trials (Failures): Beyond salvation, failures include the results of poor decisions, moral missteps, or lack of understanding. King Saul’s disobedience (1 Sam 15:22-23), David’s sin with Bathsheba (2 Sam 11:2-4), and Peter’s denial of Christ (Matt 26:69-75) all show how human choices can lead to trials that require repentance, humility, and reliance on God.

• Tribulations (Assualts): Assaults, by contrast, are tribulations imposed from outside our control—circumstances brought about by the enemy, injustice, or natural adversity. Job’s devastating losses (Job 1:13-19), Joseph’s betrayal by his brothers (Gen 37:28), Paul’s persecution (2 Cor 11:24-25), and the blind man in John 9:1-3 are all examples. These tribulations can be blessings in disguise when we maintain a biblical response. Scripture reminds us that God’s providence is not limited by our circumstances.

No. Because we publish true stories (testimonials), we want you to share your real name with our readers. This builds trust and helps our readers know that what you are sharing is true and really happened.

Testimonies are not published without identity verification.

If your story fits, we’ll let you know that we’d like to move forward with edits. Here are some key things to know:

• We do not offer payment, but we’ll give you a spotlight on our site and a link to share with your people. We will also include relevant links to your book, social media pages, and website in your bio.

• We edit stories three times and ask writers to update and revise their stories based on our feedback. For questions on capitalization or word choice, please review our style guide.

• We will ask you to sign a Materials Release Agreement, which confirms your identity, and grants us the right to publish your story. You maintain rights to your story until you sign the Materials Release Agreement.

• We ask you do not repost or republish the edited version that was created exclusively for My Story His Glory. You may share the link to the story on your blog; for example, you might write a post about your experience writing for My Story His Glory and then share the link.
