Each Friday, a new word prompt is presented. This week’s word is STORY.
As believers, we each have our own unique faith story.
What’s a faith story?
A faith story is “A story of God’s faithfulness.” (Source: Faith Stories Explained)
Is it like a testimony?
Yes, I’ve seen “faith story” and “testimony” used interchangeably.
Is it a story about how we came to Jesus and became a Believer?
Yes, but that’s only part of it.
A testimony (or faith story) “can be about a person’s journey to becoming a Christian—also known as a conversion story—or it can be a way in which God has shown up in a person’s life. Perhaps it is a lesson God has taught them or a reminder He gave. Sometimes it’s an answered prayer or a victory over sin. Sometimes it’s a way in which God provided extraordinarily in a tough situation.” (Source: What is Chtistian Testimony? How do I tell my own Testimony story?)
