“The most powerful story you can share, besides the Gospel, is the story of what God is doing personally in your life.” - Drew Ryall
We are shifting gears this week from apologetics to sharing our testimony. If we are going to be bold in Christ and learn how to defend our faith in an ever changing world, then we have to be equipped with the good news of Jesus Christ in our own lives! Others are going to want to know about the hope that we have because they can see the attributes of Jesus in us.
That is why I invited the lead pastor from our church to join me today. He has been sharing his testimony boldly and authentically with our church family for years but in recent months it has become even more evident. God has given him a passion to equip others to share what God is doing in their own lives.
Drew has been on staff at New Life Fellowship (NLF) since 2010 and is our main teaching pastor. His passions are teaching (fittingly) and discipleship of the church family. He loves seeing others discover their gifts and how the holy spirit will lead them to use it for His kingdom. He has the ability to be vulnerable when teaching but also in conversations with others.
Drew's newly refreshed energy on this topic on Sunday mornings helped the Holy Spirit spur me on personally to dive into this conversation with him, and man am I thankful it did!
Key Takeaways:
- It’s hard to share what God is doing in our lives but faith helps us overcome that fear
- Today’s anxieties can be tomorrow’s testimony
- Our testimony is more than the moment we accepted Jesus as our personal savior, it’s daily being made new in Christ
- Put your faith into action by stepping into areas where if God doesn’t show up, you can’t do it
- You cannot be anxious and thankful at the same time
- All God requires is a mustard seed of faith
