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.

Carl — testimonyNEAR-DEATH

Carl

I was a model church member — baptized, tithing, teaching Bible classes — but I was doing it all out of duty, to get out of hell and into heaven. I didn't love God, I didn't love my fellow man. I had no real relationship with Christ at all.

Amaya — testimonyCONVERSION

Amaya

I was a new age influencer, belly dancer, and feminine embodiment coach — half naked, smoking weed every day for seven years, having sex outside marriage, following false Gnostic christs, and going around pretending I wasn't lost or broken when it was a complete fabrication.

Katherine — testimonyDEEPENING FAITH

Katherine

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.

Craig — testimonyCONVERSION

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.

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.

Leticia — testimonyCONVERSION

Leticia

I was that spiritual girl — religion was not for me. I shunned the Bible, got tarot readings, did crystal meditations, and forever cycled through relationships getting heartbroken. I knew of God but I certainly didn't know him.

Patricia — testimonyDEEPENING FAITH

Patricia

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.

Daniel — testimonyCONVERSION

Daniel

I was a radical Muslim, a famous religious boy from childhood, a revolutionary who helped bring Khomeini to power. I believed Islam was the perfect religion and that Christians were unclean people polluting the world. I was on death row before I escaped Iran.

Monique — testimonyDEEPENING FAITH

Monique

I was a black Christian who saw the world through a pro-black lens, believed all white people were racist, and had been taught that systems of whiteness were the root of oppression. Race was the most important thing about me.
