Testimonies are an important part of the recovery process at Red Sea Recovery. Sometimes the inspiration you need to keep moving in your recovery can be found in the story of another person's recovery.  

This short training course will help you to plan, write, review and eventually give your testimony at Red Sea Recovery. There's an exciting little project added at the end of this challenge as well!  

In this training, there are three basic components. The first component is the Life Undercurrents section. This section is designed to help you uncover a wealth of information about your life to use as a supply house for writing your testimony. As we all know, in our recovery river, what people see as we are moving through life is actually controlled by undercurrents beneath the surface that can’t be seen. These undercurrents are what need to be explained in a testimony to explain the actions in your life visible on the surface.

The second basic component is the Recovery Flow section. As we are looking back on our worldly addictions and spiritual strongholds in our life, we have the benefit of now being able to filter this through some of the core recovery concepts and spiritual markers that we uncovered in our recovery process.  The style and tone of the delivery of these past and present experiences are dealt with here.   The “Recovery Flowsheet” section helps you take the information that the Life Undercurrents section uncovers and decide how you want to use that information to create a compelling story that flows well and achieves the goal you have for your testimony.

And finally, the third component will use a Telling Your Story Flowchart to help you balance your testimony. You can use this to provide the framework for the story of your life that you want to tell. Many times the testimony you start with is not what you end up with. It’s not that your life story has changed, it’s just that what you are choosing to focus on to move your testimony through the 5-7 sections on the flowchart may change for a better flow or a more focused story.

The introduction and the first component are ready to view.  The second and third component are coming very soon!
