The article is focused on the construction of a relationship between religious faith and personal narratives. The hypothesis advanced is that the maintenance of religious convictions within charismatic Christianity takes place thorough sharing personal experience stories, in which the course of everyday life is interpreted biblically. The article is based on interview material. The interviewees are members of the Word of Faith congregation in Turku. The congregation represents the Faith Movement originating in North America, which was brought to Finland via Sweden (Livets Ord) at the beginning of the 1990s. The writer combines the ideas of socio-psychology of religion (mainly role theory) and narrative research, which applies the idea of performative speech in speech act theory.
