Scripture instructs “the redeemed of the Lord to say so” (Psalm 107:2). The Texan is giving Southern Baptists of Texas Convention churches and individuals a way to “say so” in a way that will be heard across the State of Texas and beyond.
The Texan has unveiled a campaign called “What’s your story?” on its digital and print platforms. Using a form on its website, the Texan is offering churches and individual followers of Christ a chance to share what God has done or is currently doing in their lives.
Texan Editor Jayson Larson, who joined the SBTC in September, said one of his mandates is to tell the stories of what God is doing throughout the convention’s nearly 2,700 churches. Yet the idea of sharing testimonies, he said, is often misunderstood and, in turn, becomes a major part of worship that goes missing in our conversations and gatherings.
“As a church member and, later, as a pastor, I’ve heard so many followers of Jesus say they don’t really have an ‘interesting’ testimony, so they simply don’t share them,” Larson said. “The truth is, if you are in Christ and he is in you, you have a story to tell. So it’s exciting that the Lord might use the Texan as a bullhorn for believers across Texas to tell their stories and shine a light on what he is doing in their lives and in their churches.”
Church leaders and individuals interested in sharing what God is doing are encouraged to click the “What’s your story?” logo on the homepage of Texan.Digital and fill out the form, including contact information. A Texan representative will follow up with each person who provides information, which could then be used in either the print or online editions of the Texan.
