Building Faith in God Through Testimony: Remembering His Goodness

One of the most powerful ways to build faith in God is through testimony. When we share our story—whether with ourselves, our families, or others—we remember God’s goodness and proclaim His faithfulness. Testimony isn’t just a nice tradition; it’s a weapon. Revelation reminds us that testimony is part of how Satan is defeated and faith grows stronger.

This post is part of my Building Faith in God series. We’ve already looked at Scripture for encouragement, silence and solitude, daily worship, Christian community, faith in action through service, the practice of gratitude, and building faith through prayer. Today, we’re focusing on testimony: the practice of remembering and telling what God has done.

Why Testimony Builds Faith 🌿

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.” — Psalm 107:2

When you tell your story, three powerful things happen:

• It strengthens your own faith. Looking back on God’s faithfulness reminds you that He can be trusted with today and tomorrow.
  

• It encourages others. Your testimony may be the reminder someone else needs that God is still working.
  

• It glorifies God. Every time we share what He has done, we point the credit back to Him.
  

As Billy Graham once said: “The word ‘testimony’ means we tell people what we have experienced; not what we think, but what we know.”

That’s the heart of testimony: not speculation or theory, but real stories of God’s hand in our lives.

My Story: inAWE in Sisterhood Magazine ✨

In 2025, our family business was featured by Sisterhood Magazine in their Visionaries & Ventures segment. It was such a blessing to sit down and be interviewed. In telling the story of our family business, I was reminded of how far God has brought inAWE Handmade since its beginning in 2012.

The questions made me reflect on God’s faithfulness, His provision, and His guidance through every season—highs and lows alike. It became more than an interview; it was an act of gratitude and testimony.

Corrie ten Boom once wrote: “Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.”

Looking back, I see how God used every step—even the hard ones—to prepare us for what inAWE has become today. You can read the feature here.

Recording Testimonies Through Prayer Boards 🙏

Testimonies don’t always have to be written in magazines or shared on a stage. They can be recorded in the quiet of our homes, as simple reminders of God’s faithfulness.

That’s one of the reasons I love our Prayer Boards. They provide space not only for prayer requests, but also for answered prayers. When we write down how God responds, we create a living testimony to His goodness. Over time, these boards become visual reminders of His faithfulness—a testimony you can revisit whenever doubt creeps in.

Your answered prayers matter. They are part of your testimony, a record of God’s work in your life that you can return to and even pass on to encourage others.

Encouragement for You 🌸

You may feel like your story isn’t big enough to matter. But every testimony counts. Whether it’s a dramatic rescue or a quiet reminder of God’s daily provision, it has the power to build strong faith in God—both in you and in others.

So this week, I encourage you to:

• Write down an answered prayer.
  

• Share your story with a friend.
  

• Tell your story at your small group, your family table, or even in your journal.
  

Your testimony is a gift. Don’t keep it hidden.

Closing: Remembering His Goodness 💛

Revelation 12:11 reminds us that testimony isn’t optional—it’s powerful. Through it, we overcome.

As you take time to tell your story and remember God’s goodness, may your faith grow stronger and your heart be filled with gratitude. And if you’d like a simple way to start recording testimonies of answered prayer, consider using one of our Prayer Boards. It’s a tool to help you see God’s hand in your life, day by day.

Because in the end, testimony is more than memory—it’s a declaration of God’s faithfulness.
