Challies has declared next Tuesday “Testimony Tuesday.” Here’s his idea:

I’ve been thinking for a while now that it would be interesting and beneficial to have bloggers post their testimonies to their blogs. Some have already done this, but many (myself included) have not. And yet I love testimonies and find them so beautiful and so moving. It is amazing to read about the many ways God saves His people. He uses an infinite variety of means to draw an infinite variety of His people to Himself. Testimonies stand as evidence of God’s grace, showing God’s ability and desire to save people of all types and from all walks of life. They inspire Christians to appreciate the goodness and grace of the Lord. They are also valuable for witnessing to others. So I thought I would put a challenge out for Christian bloggers to post their testimonies to their blogs next Tuesday (we can call it Testimony Tuesday). When you have done so, send me a link through email and I’ll collect them all on my site. And we can rejoice in God’s goodness together.

While I find the name cheesy, I kinda like the idea. I think there is power in the story of how God works in someone’s life. There are so many people who I know (at varying levels) and yet I’ve never heard the stories of their faith.

So next Tuesday, I’m going to post my testimony. If you do the same, please post a link to it in my comment section. Or, if you don’t have a blog, feel free to post your story in the comment section, as well.

I would like to add another level to this, as well. If you don’t claim to follow Jesus, you have a story worth hearing as much as the Christ-followers. I would like you to write your faith story too. What is it that you believe and how did you come to that conclusion? Where are you in your journey as of this moment?

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
