JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is a Testimony of faith.

Everyone has a story. When we come to faith in Christ, that story becomes a redemption story.

Out of the overflow of our heart, the mouth speaks words of praise and gratitude because of what God has done in our lives. By sharing our story with others, we invite others to see the goodness of God.

Not everyone might want to hear our story. There is wisdom in being sensitive to that. But where people are interested in hearing how God has worked in our lives, our story can build the faith of others and open doors of transparency with them.

Psalm 66:16 says, “Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.”

Sharing our testimony with others is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.
