Stuart

I was a Jewish guy from the Bronx — a rebel, a heavy drinker, a drug dealer. I believed Jesus was not for the Jewish people. End of discussion. I wanted to connect with God but found only hypocrisy in the synagogue.

Laura

I was 100% Jewish, a blank slate — I honestly didn't even know Jesus was a person. I believed in God but had no preconceived ideas, no agenda, no knowledge of the gospel whatsoever.

Dan

I was a secular Israeli Jew studying math at university. I believed in God — unlike my atheist parents — but Jesus was a foreign god, something Gentiles believed in, connected in my mind to the persecution of Jewish people.

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.

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.
