Revelation 12:11 says, “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Your story matters. Your experiences with Jesus are one of the most powerful tools you have to reach others. Whether your story is dramatic or quiet, it carries the power of the gospel. This week, don’t underestimate how God can use your testimony—even a short version—to plant seeds in someone else’s heart. And when you share your story, remember to do so with “gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15) so that the kindness of your life reflects the kindness of the gospel, further proving the integrity of your story.

Reflection: Imagine it is a passing period at school or a 5 minute gap between meetings at work, during which someone asks why you are wearing the Proud Christian shirt. You only have 2-3 minutes to respond. What will you say to plant a gospel seed at that moment? Consider practicing with a Christian friend or family member.
