Testimony Roadmap
We hope this guide provides you with a roadmap for writing and sharing your testimony.
We are always here to help answer any questions!
Step 1 — Describe Life Before Following Jesus
Describe what your life was like before you followed Jesus. This sets up your story. Write a paragraph or two. Confidently detail your thoughts and emotions at the time.
Answer questions like:
What was my life truly like? (Lonely, Empty, Shallow, Fearful, etc)
What did my life revolve around the most? (Work, A partner, Alcohol, etc)
What did I get my security or happiness from? (Success, Possessions, etc)
How did those areas begin to let me down?
Step 2 — Describe When And Why You Followed Jesus
Simply write a paragraph or two explaining why you surrendered your life to Jesus.
Answer questions like:
When was the first time I heard the Gospel or about Jesus?
What were my initial reactions?
When did my attitude begin to change? Why?
What were the final struggles that went through my mind before I surrendered my life to Jesus?
Step 3 — Describe Life After Following Jesus
This is where you can begin to join the dots and bring closure to your testimony. Talk about how this experience has shaped or changed you.
Write a sentence or two on each of these points:
How has this experience changed your perspective of God and life?
Describe how this has impacted the way you live, feel and think.
How has this story changed the way you relate to and understand God?
This is the most impacting part, because now you’re presenting a view of God based on things that really happened to you.
