Key Topics Discussed

Why is Paul’s Testimony Repeated in Acts?

• Paul’s testimony appears three times in Acts because of its crucial role in the spread of the gospel, particularly to the Gentiles.
• His transformation highlights the power of grace and God's call on his life.
• Paul continually referenced his past to illustrate the radical change Christ brought in him.

What if I Don’t Like Who I Am Now?

• Spiritual transformation is an ongoing process.
• The Holy Spirit and the Word of God continuously renew and shape believers.
• God calls individuals by name and has a purpose for them, shaping them into the image of Christ.

Overcoming Shame in Sharing Your Story

• Confession and accountability in Christian community are key.
• Hiding sin hinders transformation; bringing it into the light allows for healing and change.
• There’s wisdom in how and when to share one’s past, especially in different contexts (e.g., with children, small groups, or public testimonies).

How to Share Your Story Powerfully

• Your story is most impactful to:
1. Those who know you best – family and close friends witness your transformation firsthand.
2. Those facing similar struggles – people relate deeply to testimonies that mirror their own experiences.
3. The broader community – sharing in ministry, workplace, or casual conversations can open doors to gospel discussions.

• Effective storytelling requires articulation and practice, refining how we share what God has done in our lives.
