What’s your story? We all have one. As believers, God has crafted a story for each of us, bringing us into salvation through the work of His Son, Jesus. Your story may be one of faithful Christian parents that brought you up in the ways of the Lord. Your story may be one of wandering. Perhaps you became a Christian later in life after years of rebellion. Whatever your story entails, there is a common thread that we all share: the faithfulness of God.
In today’s episode, Krystal chats with her pastor, Afshin Ziafat. Though he was raised in a Muslim household, Afshin came to know the Lord in his teenage years. Afshin has an incredible testimony and has the opportunity to share it all other the world. But in sharing his story, Afshin is clear to point out that it is a story of God’s faithfulness and not his own. Come chat with us about the faithfulness of God in our testimonies.
