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.

Richard — testimonyCONVERSION

Richard

I was a drug dealer making over a hundred grand a month, a Navy sailor selling pounds of weed through the mail, robbing stores, sleeping with multiple women, drinking four to five days a week, and training to become a warlock — always getting away with everything, always empty.

Muhammad — testimonyCONVERSION

Muhammad

I was the most zealous Muslim in my family — beating myself, cutting my head with a sword, traveling to shrines, serving in the Revolutionary Guard — doing everything to earn God's satisfaction, but feeling further from him the harder I tried.

AZ — testimonyCONVERSION

AZ

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.

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.

Chris — testimonyCONVERSION

Chris

I was a software engineer and startup guy who rejected Christianity as antiquated, then spent years trying every psychedelic, energy healer, Buddhist retreat, and New Age practice I could find, convinced I could engineer my way to enlightenment and heal my grief on my own terms.

Jenna — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

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.

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
Christa — testimonyCONVERSION

Christa

I was a shamanic healer and love addict cobbling together an identity from tarot, spirit guides, and relationships with men. I was in pain all the time — like an open canker sore — and I was convinced I was working for the light while I was actually an agent of the enemy.
