The Story Path

A path, not a class.

"let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith" — Hebrews 12:1–2

Every man's testimony is his own. But the true ones are built from common ingredients: a man leaves somewhere; he's asked something and answers honestly; he tells God the truth about what it costs him, without leaving the relationship to say it; he's changed; he gives what he received to someone else; and he runs the race set before him with endurance — eyes on Jesus, who started this in him and will finish it. The Story Path gives you those ingredients one piece at a time, so the story you end up with is unmistakably yours.

Who It’s For

Any man who has a life and hasn't told it yet — which is most men. This isn't a warm-up for a course. It's the work: the truth about where you came from, what it cost, and where you're going, said in your own words. The courses can add to it; nothing else can replace it.

What You’ll Do

Write it a piece at a time — Where I Am From, Asked of Me, What Kind of Light, a lament, Where Are You? — in whatever order it comes true for you. Each piece stands on its own and saves to your page. No deadlines, no grading, and nothing to qualify for first.

Story Chapters

Start where it's true. The order is there for a reason.

You can begin with whichever piece is true for you today — nothing is locked. But the order isn't accidental. It moves from foundation to structure to struggles to discipleship, and each step serves the next: what you name early is there when you need it later, so you can tell your story more completely without going back, saying a thing twice, or reaching for something already said.
ABOUT THIS STUDY

Ancient Path Biblical Coaching

The Story Path is a study from Ancient Path Biblical Coaching. Our work with men is narrative-focused trauma care and confessional communities, from an ending to a new beginning. This study teaches a man to tell his own story truthfully, one piece at a time, until it becomes a testimony he can hand to another man. Written by John Sherrod.

When you want more

The courses add to it.

Your story doesn't wait on a course — it's under way the day you write the first piece. When you want a season of it walked with other men, that's what a course is for: being known, doing the hard thing, walking beside another man, running the race to the end. Each one ends with a piece written in your own words, and it joins what you've already told.
