Faithful Then, Faithful Now

Listen in to hear a few testimonies of living better with God! This episode in a series of testimonies will give you insights on strengthening relationships, building up others, and building up yourself. Sharing what God has done in your life is good for you, good for others, and honours God.

Talking Points

How testimonies have affected us and why we share how God moves in our lives:

• To build each other up;
• To build relationships;
• To notice God working in our lives and in the world;
• It’s a way to praise and worship God.

Readings from the book Faithful Then, Faithful: Stories of God’s Faithfulness from Women Across Canada Now by Brooke Nicholls and many contributors!
