Much has been said about the power of stories. They put a human face on issues and ideas. Sharing your “story” is just another way to talk about sharing your “testimony.” As Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we have some beautiful teachings about Jesus that we feel compelled to share with our friends (and the world). When we combine a biblical teaching with our testimony about how that teaching has impacted us, it’s a powerful combination to help transform human lives. Let’s reflect so we can each be equipped to share our story. Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:46:56 +0000
