A simple testimony framework

You don't need a perfect story. You need an honest shape that keeps pointing to God. A version we use is Before → God → After (you can also think: Before → Encounter → After → Next step when you journal or meet one-on-one).

Before

What was hard? What were you facing—emotionally, spiritually, or practically?

God

What did God show you, answer, strengthen, or change in you? Where did you meet Him—in Scripture, prayer, community, conviction, help?

After

What's different now—even a small step? What's your next step of obedience or growth?

One-line check: If your story ends with you alone, it's incomplete. If it ends with God's faithfulness—even as you're still in process—that's testimony.

Quick prompts you can use in a group or with a friend:

  • Where did you struggle this week?
  • Where did you see God show up?
  • What's one thing that changed—even a little?
