“After preaching and music, testimonies are the single most powerful tool you can include in your worship service. People tune in to stories of life change, especially when they recognize some aspect of themselves in the story.
You can incorporate testimonies into your service in three ways:
1. Have someone share a live testimony before the message.
2. Bring someone to the stage halfway through the message. This works especially well if the testimony illustrates a particuluar preaching point.
3. Shoot a video testimony in advance and show it at some point during the service.”
– Nelson Searcy and Jason Hatley
