In the past, how have you told your story or giving your testimony? How often do you tell this story? Does it seem natural to others who hear it? What has been their response??

If you have written a version of your story/testimony, take it out and reread it. Who is the hero of the story? If it is God, that's great. If it is you or someone/something else why?

When in your life, have you seen the greatest intersections between God's story and your story?

When in your life have the most consciously turned to God for help and relationship? What was happening?

What was happening in your life when you felt furthest from God?

My testimony in my life I went through addiction, rape, abuse, spiritual attacks, eating disorder, depression, suicidal, and betrayal. God saved me, protected me, and heal me from all of that. God restore me, found me, and chose me. I'm becoming a pastor now.
