What's Your Story?



A few weekends ago, Ryan and I went with a few friends of ours to downtown Atlanta and filmed Ryan sharing his testimony.  Ryan has always loved writing- especially spoken words. God has blessed him with this talent!
Ryan decided to write a spoken word about his testimony about 8 years ago.  He found himself relating to students best by sharing the work that God has done in his life. He sat down one night and wrote out his story in spoken word form. At this time, he was working for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA in Cobb County.  He would travel from school to school and read his story as part of his messages when he was preaching to the students. He realized that reading the spoken word from a sheet of paper would have less of an impact on the students than memorizing it and sharing it from his heart.  So, he memorized it and saw the fruit soon after.  Since that time, Ryan has written many of other spoken words (which I'm sure I'll share on this blog eventually).  His testimony spoken word is by far the most powerful. I believe it's the most powerful because it's truly inspired and authored by Jesus.  It's a story of the grace and power of Jesus in Ryan's life.

What's your story?  When we share our story with others we proclaim that God is in the business of changing lives.  Our story can provide hope to those who need it desperately. Your story matters.  It's a story of God at work in your life. Jesus is beautiful! Let us share our story often.

Take a few minutes to watch Ryan's story- and let all glory and honor go to Jesus.
