Welcome to the Faith Based Business podcast.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:07

Today we're so blessed you're joining us.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:08

As you know, we continue our study and how do we, you know, story testimonies and storytelling into your business to help grow your business?

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:19

We've been talking about this, really the past couple weeks about storytelling, but today I want to talk to you about the importance of weaving testimonials into your story.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:31

So testimonials are powerful tools, folks, that add authenticity and credibility to your storytelling.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:39

And by sharing real life stories of your transformation.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:42

Let me go ahead and share this screen.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:43

We'll get started.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:45

By taking care of this and sharing real life stories of transformation, you'll demonstrate the tangible impact of your faith driven mission.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:00:59

And when integrated thoughtfully, when you, when you do it purposefully, testimonies will create trust, it'll inspire action, it'll resonate deeply with your audience because they can relate to the story.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:14

And it turns your narrative into a compelling force for connection and growth as well.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:19

Amen.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:20

Now, when you choose testimonials that align with your message and use them to highlight your mission's impact, look for stories that that of res.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:38

Of transformation that will resonate with your audience's real needs, the true needs.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:43

Not what you're trying to get across, not what you're trying to.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:46

To sell or get them to do, but meet their needs.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:51

The right testimonials provide credibility.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:01:54

They'll reinforce your faith driven purpose and they just make your narrative more authentic and more compelling.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:01

You can seamlessly weave testimonials into your story just to support the key points, and it helps create a natural flow, especially as you transition from one point to the next.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:15

So you need to place them tactically, I guess you could say a nice camel reward, where they will amplify your message, adding depth and credibility as well.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:26

A well placed testimonial will act as evidence of your impact and it strengthens the emotional connection that you have with your audience.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:35

And you need to focus on the journey.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:39

You need to show results and showcase those.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:42

As testimonials highlight the before and after moments just to illustrate how your mission has positively impacted other people's lives.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:51

Transformation stories will inspire that kind of hope and it'll demonstrate the value of your work and what you're trying to do.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:02:59

And it makes your audience more inclined just to trust and to engage with you and with your brand.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:05

But you have to use authentic voices.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:08

You know, let the testimonials retain their original tone, the original note of sincerity when they emailed you.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:17

The testimony like this was the greatest training I ever had.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:20

Before I couldn't do this, but now I can.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:23

Don't edit it, use it as is.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:25

Amen.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:26

Authentic voices make the story relatable and trustworthy and as resonates deeply with your audience.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:33

And by preserving the natural language and the emotion of the testimonials, you help to ensure that they will connect on a personal, heartfelt level with the audience as well.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:45

But you also need some visuals.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:47

If someone sends a testimony, tie it to a face, right?

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:03:50

Because bringing testimonials to life with photos, with videos, with audio clips, visual and audio elements create a multisensory experience and that makes the stories more engaging, more impactful, and more apt to be remembered as well.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:08

These elements will add authenticity, it adds the emotional depth that you're looking for from the testimony, and it turns the testimonials into powerful tools for inspiring trust and action.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:20

Now, next time we'll be discussing something very important when it comes to storytelling, overcoming resistance and breaking down barriers in your audience.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:33

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:39

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:42

And overcoming resistance and breaking down barriers is a powerful, powerful way to have your story told.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:50

Amen.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:04:52

Till then, though, I pray you're beginning to understand how all these elements go into successful storytelling and the importance of how testimonials will help you to elevate your storytelling by showcasing real life transformations that align with your mission.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:05:08

Choosing the right testimonials, weaving them seamlessly into your narrative, and just emphasizing authenticity, that helps to build that trust and that credibility.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau: 00:05:19
