Recents posts pulling from different post type

Question

This blog page is pulling from a Page Template called full-width-blog.php. The left of the content is where the supposed general posts should appear. On the right is the sidebar.

How could you make the main left area pulling from Recent Articles and not from Testimonials?

This is an attempt to fix your sidebar code :

<div id="rightcolumn-wrapper">
  <div class="rightcolumn-inner">

    <?php   /* Widgetized sidebar */

        if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar') ) : ?>

            echo ' <h3 class="news">';            
             echo $NewsTitle;
            echo '</h3>';
            // Otherwise we'll use a generic message.
