Andrew Peterson once said, “If you want someone to hear the truth, just tell them the truth, but if you want someone to love the truth, you must tell them a story.” No wonder Jesus told so many stories! Stories can help us experience the truth in deep and meaningful ways even though they are fictional.
Through the Ever After Encounter, Anita Kelly Couch uses stories we loved as children to illustrate breathtaking aspects of the gospel, the greatest story ever told! In these difficult times, our hearts desperately need to be reawakened to awe and wonder at the beauty of Jesus and the Story we were made for.
What is an Ever After Encounter?
This is just for you.
We want to equip you to realign your understanding of the Gospel to its original intent — a divine romance!
We desire to encourage you to confront and dismantle any obstacles hindering a greater experience of God’s love and freedom.
We hope to empower you to discover and serve God’s unique purpose for you in your own generation.
Don’t just take our word for it.

The True Gospel Has Been Stolen from Us
There is a startling line in the 1998 romantic film entitled Ever After, starring Drew Barrymore, “By then, the truth of their romance had been reduced to a simple fairy tale.” The tragedy of this statement grips me because I see it in my own story and in so many...
