CONVERSIONJenna
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.
CONVERSIONSean
I was just a nasty, narcissistic person — pure hatred, pure evil. I was addicted to porn for 20 years, an alcoholic for over 10, doing every drug I could find, physically abusive to every girlfriend I had, and desperately trying to find love from all the wrong places because I didn't have my mother's or father's love.
DEEPENING FAITHKatherine
I was a pastor's daughter who went to church every Sunday, prayed, anointed my house — doing all the ritualistic religious acts — but inside I was dying with insecurities, seeking validation from boys and my career, and rooting my identity in everything except Christ.
CONVERSIONMike
I was a rock musician who nearly died of an overdose, then dropped out of college to search for God. I became a yoga guru with 300 students, teaching 14 hours a day, running an ashram, totally committed to the idea that all religions lead to the same ultimate reality.
CONVERSIONSean
I was a violent, rage-addicted construction foreman — drinking, doing drugs, abusing my wife and kids, threatening men with hammers. I gave away my own name and became a monster. I didn't want to know who God was. I figured I was on my own and that was enough.
CONVERSIONNathan
I was a drug dealer selling pounds of marijuana, cocaine, and MDMA, addicted to everything, going through the motions at church and yoga meetups, with no idea who I was. My whole life was a lie — nobody around me knew the real me.
NEAR-DEATHDiamond
I was raised Catholic but never really understood the Bible. I had preached on the streets of Louisiana, then walked away from faith when I started working offshore and hanging out with the crew, drinking. I didn't believe there was actually a hell or a heaven.
CONVERSIONMaria
I was smiling on the outside but deep inside I was going through so much darkness. I was a normal kid on the outside, but I was tormented by voices telling me to kill myself and harm people I loved, and nobody knew.
CONVERSIONAZ
I was a drifter, a wanderer — lost and disillusioned my whole life, hiding behind gym and eastern mysticism, trying to transcend the physical realm and escape suffering. I had complex PTSD, multiple suicide attempts, and a psychiatrist told me I had no options left.
CONVERSIONJohn
I was the life of the party — a construction worker turned undercover cop with money, power, cars, and respect. I had everything this world said you need to have joy and peace. I was prideful, arrogant, and deep in sin — drugs, alcohol, cheating, lying.
DEEPENING FAITHPatricia
I was a Catholic woman who knew God was calling me but kept making my own choices without asking him. I was fighting authority, not really communicating, not being honest with myself or others — and I kept getting more and more confused.
CONVERSIONJamie
I was homeless, addicted to meth, in abusive relationships, with no job, no car, no friends — and my whole life I felt like nobody wanted me. I was trying to fill an emptiness inside me with drugs, guys, and anything I could find.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new”
