In this special solo episode of the Contagious Faith Podcast, Gabriel Jackson shares the story behind United Hive and the vision God gave him in early 2017 that inspired its creation.

What began as a God-given vision to see believers more connected, encouraged, and activated has grown into a platform where testimonies, prayer, evangelism, and stories of God's faithfulness can be shared across the Body of Christ.

Throughout Scripture, testimonies have played a powerful role in building faith and reminding God's people of His faithfulness. Yet many of the stories of what God is doing today often remain hidden within local churches, ministries, and communities. United Hive was created to help bring those stories into the light and make them accessible to believers everywhere.

In this episode, Gabriel discusses how sharing testimonies can:
• Inspire believers to step out in faith
• Encourage people during difficult seasons
• Equip Christians for evangelism
• Highlight what God is doing around the world
• Build unity across denominations and ministries
• Awaken the Church to its mission

Whether you're a pastor, evangelist, ministry leader, or everyday believer, this conversation will challenge you to consider the power of your story and how God can use it to impact others.

Every testimony points back to Jesus. Every testimony has the potential to strengthen faith. Every testimony matters.
