A great act of faith is a boring testimony

So many of the Christians in my church and life group have been brought up in Christian homes, and known God from a very young age. Myself included. And it's awesome, plan A for your life. But they always seem to struggle with having a 'boring testimony'.

You hear all the stories of heroine addicts, the sexually promiscuous, and criminals, and you can't help but think that they know God in a way that you don't. They've experienced life without God, tasted all the world has to offer, and then came to Christ. They've got this massive contrast of experience.

We, on the other hand, haven't.

But that leads me to this whole idea of faith. Surely the biggest act of faith for the life-long Christian is to take someone else's word for it. To simply believe God, without experiencing those things for ourselves. It comes back to this verse:

"blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
John 20:29

That's what I think faith looks like for us.
