What does Tribe teach about testimony?
Drawn from the messages where it was actually addressed: the words said from the front, the passages taught, and where to hear the whole thing.
At Tribe, testimony is treated as something that belongs to the whole congregation, not just the person telling it. In multiple gatherings, the church has made room before or alongside the main message for people to stand up and describe moments when God broke through into their lives. Those stories, whether dramatic deliverances in the mountains or quiet turnings in a bedroom with nothing left but a Bible, are received as evidence that God is still speaking and still moving in ordinary people.
The teaching that anchors testimony at Tribe is Revelation 12:11, which the church returns to across different messages and different speakers. The verse ties the overcoming life directly to the word of our testimony, so sharing what God has done is not a warm-up exercise or a sentimental tradition. It is part of how the enemy is actually defeated. Renee's message on Leviticus opened with her own story precisely because she understood that the theological ground she was about to cover needed to be walked by a real person first.
The testimonies the congregation shares tend to follow a similar shape: a period of wandering or pain, a moment when scripture or another person arrived with uncanny precision, and a turning that cost something. Jay described God stripping everything off the table and starting fresh from a new foundation. The point the church keeps landing on is that these stories are not finished when the person sits down. They are meant to pull other people toward the same surrender.

From Drinking Deep: Choosing Endurance Over Escape
The passage taught · 2 Corinthians 12:5-7
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
