Finding Your Transformation Story | Written By: Michele Warner

Transformation= a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance or form. Thank you, Webster!

Have you experienced a complete or major change in your life? Maybe you're hearing about Good News for the first time or are continuing to step into a journey of experiencing Good News with Jesus daily.

Transformation is a process that often feels like a rollercoaster ride with varying turning points that can define your relationship with God. God invites everyone into a relationship of transformation with His help along the way.

Every transformation journey is unique and priceless. These transformation stories are proof that God is with you. It is in these stories where the Good News becomes real. You become the evidence to the rest of the world that He is good always. And you get to share that evidence!

It doesn’t matter how dramatic you think your story is. What matters is that your story is genuine and relevant and only possible because of God. Your story of how God changed your life has the power to change the life of another!

Sharing your 15-30 second transformation story invites others to deeper connection and greater transparency. It is not about minimizing or feeling ashamed of who you once were, but about celebrating who you are now in Jesus. Every story has a before and an after. Find and own your story and share it like crazy!

Michele's story: Before I knew Jesus, I used to be highly anxious, stressed out, and constantly looking for someone to love and to reciprocate that love. Since getting serious about Jesus, I am becoming a person who walks in peace, is full of hope and joy, and is overflowing with love for and from Him.

Now, you're probably asking where and when I could share my story and ask them if they have one too - and the answer is simple: everyone, everywhere!

Spend some time thinking about the people you regularly see and the places you frequently visit. You may be surprised by the connection!
And most importantly, remember that you are not doing this alone. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak through you and ask God to open doors of opportunities where you will be present to show up and share Good News!

Sharing stories stirs up some really exciting conversations with others. It opens the door for that oh-so-powerful question… “Do you have a story like that?”
