In this episode of Thrive Through the Fire, I’m diving into one of the most powerful things we can do with our faith—share our story. I know firsthand how scary it can be to speak up, especially when you feel like your story isn’t dramatic enough or you’re still walking through it. But here's the truth: your testimony carries weight, and someone out there needs to hear it.
I’ll walk through:
- Why your story matters—even if you think it doesn’t
- What Scripture says about the power of your testimony
- How to share your story with confidence, not fear
- My own journey with opening up about my cancer diagnosis and how God met me in the middle of it
- A few practical tips to help you start telling your story today
We’ll also look at some amazing biblical examples—from the woman at the well to the man born blind—who simply shared what Jesus had done in their lives, and lives were changed because of it.
If you’ve been feeling like your voice doesn’t matter, or like you don’t have the words to explain what you’ve gone through, this episode will encourage you to speak anyway. Your story could be the bridge that helps someone meet Jesus. And if you’re still in the middle of your journey, that’s okay too—because testimonies aren’t about having it all together. They’re about pointing to the One who holds it all together.
Plus, I’ll tell you more about the testimony journal I created to help you write out your story, organize your thoughts, and find clarity and confidence in sharing what God has done in your life. Check the show notes for the link.
Scriptures we explore in this episode:
- Revelation 12:11
- John 4:39
- John 9:25
- 2 Corinthians 1:3–4
- Romans 10:17
If this episode encouraged you or you’re ready to share your story, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out and let’s talk. And if you know someone who needs this message, send it their way.
God doesn’t waste anything—not your pain, not your past, not even your process.
