Three questions. One story.

- Your story
What was your life like before Jesus?
Think about what you were experiencing, looking for, struggling with, or believing before you trusted Jesus. Focus on one or two things people can relate to.
Keep it personal and simple.

Your story stays on your device. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is saved on our side.
What My Story is
One story, prepared once, used for years.
My Story turns your testimony into something you can actually reach for in a conversation. You write it down once, in three parts, and after that you are never caught without something true to say.
Most people freeze in a Gospel conversation not because they doubt the message, but because they have never put their own experience of it into words. Ten minutes with a pen fixes that permanently.
It is also the bridge inside the 3 Steps: their story, then your story, then God's story. Your story is the middle piece that makes the third one welcome.
The structure
Before. How. Since.
Your story doesn't need to include every detail. The goal is to help someone understand what Jesus has done in your life in a way that is personal, clear, and easy to follow.
- Part 01
Before
Where you were and what you were carrying. Not a dramatic past, an honest one. Plenty of true stories start with quiet emptiness rather than a rock bottom.
Before I knew Jesus, I was…
- Part 02
How
The turn. Who spoke to you, what you heard, what happened, what you decided. Keep it to what you actually remember.
Then…
- Part 03
Since
What is different now. Not a perfect life, a changed one. One specific change lands harder than five general ones.
Since then…
Four rules
How to tell it well.
These are the only guidelines that matter, and every one of them is about staying human rather than sounding polished.
Plain beats polished.
About three minutes
Long enough to be real, short enough that the other person still gets to talk. If it runs longer, it has stopped being a conversation.
Everyday words
Avoid church jargon. Words like saved, blessed and testimony carry meaning inside church and almost none outside it. Say what you mean plainly.
Be honest and real
The struggle belongs in the story. It is usually the part someone recognises in themselves, and the reason they keep listening.
Don't exaggerate
Never stretch the truth to make it land harder. A true story told plainly is stronger than an impressive one, and you never have to defend it.
Using it in a conversation
How could you introduce your story?
Before you tell it
“May I share the best thing that has ever happened to me?”
And after sharing
“Do you have a story like that?”
Next: the training
Your story is one part of the conversation.
Now learn how to listen to their story and clearly share God's Story.
