Rosaria — testimonyCONVERSION

Rosaria

I was a tenured lesbian professor, a gay rights activist, a leader in the LGBTQ movement, fervent for Freud, Marx, Hegel, and Darwin. I believed my lesbian life was a cleaner, more moral way to live and that I had found my real self.

Mike — testimonyCONVERSION

Mike

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.

Yaya — testimonyDEEPENING FAITH

Yaya

I was a believer who had always seen in the spirit realm since childhood, but I compromised my faith, got into a relationship with a narcissist, and ended up on 14 medications, collapsing on my floor, with no presence of God when I nearly died.

Britney — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

Brian — testimonyCONVERSION

Brian

I thought Christianity was the dumbest thing ever — a crutch for people who needed to lie to themselves. I was selling drugs, dabbling in the occult, trying to open my third eye to fight the demons that had followed me since infancy. I was a psychonaut who thought he was smarter than religion.

Justin — testimonyCONVERSION

Justin

I was selling marijuana, handling guns, breaking into cars, drinking — all before 21. I was trying to make a name for myself in the streets because just being Justin, the son of my mother and father, didn't feel like enough.

David — testimonyCONVERSION

David

I was from the streets — never knew my dad, physically abused, selling drugs since 12, in and out of jail, addicted to meth, a habitual felon facing 25 to life. I believed in a higher power but not Jesus, and I thought everything I survived was because of me.

Stuart — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

Drug addictionAlcohol addictionReligious trauma
Laura — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

Family rejection
Ricky — testimonyDEEPENING FAITH

Ricky

I was brought up in a Christian family and got saved in 2020, but I was a cessationist — I thought when the Bible was completed, you didn't need the Holy Ghost anymore. I used to say people who spoke in tongues were demonic.

Demonic oppressionSpiritual warfare (post-conversion)Religious trauma
Dan — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

Jessica — testimonyCONVERSION

Jessica

I was a master-level Reiki practitioner, yoga teacher trained in India, lived at a Buddhist center, and genuinely believed I was on a path of love and light, helping people and searching for truth. I thought I'd found it.
