The Four T’s
Time, Talent, Treasure, and...
When you work by faith, you spend every moment stewarding your time, talent, and treasure for God’s glory.
Yet how often do you think about stewarding your testimony? “Testimony” is another word for story, and your story matters more than you think.
Not the polished, sanitized version you rehearse for networking events.
The real one.
The story you tell yourself when you’re alone on a sea of doubt, navigating the tension between kingdom values and profit margins.
When wisdom guides you through the defining moment when your faith collides with a business decision.
In those daily moments when people observe how you handle pressure.
Your testimony isn’t just what happened to you.
It’s what you’ve allowed God to do through your life’s successes, failures, and renewal. The peaks and valleys in your life become a pattern of faithfulness that you can look back on, and others can recognize in their own journey.
Who’s watching to see if this “faith in business” thing actually holds up when the deal falls through, the partnership dissolves, or they overhear how you respond during a difficult conversation?
The Apostle Paul, a man who devoted his life to telling people to be reconciled to God, encouraged the people he shared truth with to “walk worthy” and live in a way that reflects what they believe.
Make your story worth telling. Shape it, share it, and guard it without the pressure to make it sound more impressive than it is. Your story is not for you to tell; it’s for others to share because they see God’s light in you.
The rough edges are often where the light gets in and where others find the courage to keep going.
