George

I was a scared little boy growing up in a tough neighborhood — running with a crew, carrying a gun, doing petty crime, smoking and drinking, searching desperately for a path that wouldn't end in death. I had no father, no one home, and no idea who I was.

Alex

I grew up in China never hearing the gospel, programmed to think religion was outdated and unscientific. I moved to the US, got into New Age spirituality, tarot cards, breathwork, meditation, and psychedelics — all trying to heal and fill a void of love I'd carried since childhood.

Paul

I was an atheist who mocked my pastor parents, thought church was a money-making fairy tale, and spent my life drinking, partying, and gaming. Later I got into yoga and New Age spirituality, believing I was God and could manifest everything.

Neil

I was a bitter, cynical, selfish Jewish atheist. I had a 40-year pornography addiction, I was buying sex from women, lying to everyone, and stuffing it all down behind a mask. I didn't believe in God and I had no idea how to love anyone.

Talita

I hated my family, I hated my country, I hated my life. I was just running away — drugs, parties, reckless relationships, absolutely fearless because I never really felt loved and had no boundaries. I was a mess.

Craig

I was a mean atheist who made fun of Christians. As early as age nine I didn't believe in life after death or God. I thought everything could be explained through evolution and natural causes. I wanted to be an astrophysicist or paleontologist and thought Christianity was incompatible with science.

Abby

I was a dancer, a drug user, a psychology student living a double life — always trying to fit in, never knowing who I was. No identity, no knowledge of God, just seeking wherever I could find it. I was good at hiding everything.

Ron

I was a scrawny burnout hippie — Jewish by birth, Buddhist by practice, wannabe shaman — smoking two and a half packs a day, doing hallucinogenics, living on the road with a woman I had nothing in common with, and I couldn't hold a thought in a bucket.

Britney

I was searching for love in all the wrong places. I believed that if I was in a relationship I was valuable, and if I was having sex with somebody that meant I was worthy. I was a porn performer for seven years, a drug addict, plagued with suicidal thoughts, and I hated everything about waking up.

Pamela

I grew up an atheist. My dad drilled it into us that church is for weak people and God is your money. I went to church for my husband but read the Bible like a book of morality. I was depressed, crying day and night, feeling empty and unloved, and I was contemplating suicide.

Fernando

I was born in Mexico, raised by my grandmother in poverty, never knew my father, was molested at nine, and decided there was no God. I was very involved in drugs and alcohol, searching and seeking, chasing something just to be accepted and to be loved.

Jenna

I was probably the most hateful atheist — even after hearing from the spirit realm, having a foundation of God, I just completely rejected that. I was on drugs, on my own at 17, and I was so angry at the idea of God I couldn't stand it.
