In Episode 22 of The Olive Tree POC we explore stewarding testimony as an evidence-based witness to walking in “The Way,” the “Law,” and the “Gospel” (John 14:6, Romans 1:16). Drawing from Fidelity to Hope and Bernard of Clairvaux, we discuss reflecting Christ’s image as a mirror (Ephesians 2:10), not self, through a covenant of truth. Learn to avoid false testimony and live with integrity, as represented in Bethany Rae’s song “You Alone.” Visit PursuitOfCharacter.org/our-thoughts/ for resources and join the “Let Freedom Ring” project at BethanyRaeWorships.com by March 31, 2026.
