Why The Story Haven exists

Jessica DeYoung built a home for women to share faith stories without the noise of an open social feed.

For years, women gathered in Facebook groups and comment threads to encourage one another. But the algorithms, the arguments, and the feeling of performing for a crowd made it harder to share honestly. Jessica wanted something different — a free, invite-only community where Scripture, prayer, and everyday stories of God's faithfulness come first.

That vision became The Story Haven, operated by Grace Unworthy Ministries. Jessica hosts Perspectives Into Practice and invites you into the same kind of honest, Christ-centered conversation — organized into rooms instead of one endless scroll.

Morning Bread for daily Scripture. Prayer Corner for requests and answered prayers. God Winks for small moments. Campfire Stories when you have more to tell. The Living Room to simply do life together.

What you'll find inside

The features that make the Haven different from another group chat.

God Winks

Quick posts celebrating small moments when God shows up in ordinary days.

Prayer & answered prayer

Share requests, tap "I'm praying," and rejoice when God answers.

Scripture on every story

Attach Bible verses to posts, search Scripture, and save verses to your journal — seven translations supported.

Voice notes

Speak your story when typing feels hard — with automatic transcription for readers.

Our mission

“We notice God in the ordinary — and we share those stories so someone else can be encouraged on their own journey.”

— Jessica DeYoung, founder
