Pamela

I grew up an atheist. My dad drilled it into us that church is for weak people and God is your money. I went to church for my husband but read the Bible like a book of morality. I was depressed, crying day and night, feeling empty and unloved, and I was contemplating suicide.

Tomas

I was a porn actor, director, and producer — full of vanity and pride, worshipping money and my body, convinced I was better than other people. I truly thought those things made me better. I had killed every sense of morality within myself.

Elizabeth

I was a church girl all my life, but I left the church as a teenager devastated by hurt. I had it made in the eyes of the world — full scholarship, everything — but I was so lost and so alone. That's always been my battle: feeling like there was no one for me.

Joel

I grew up as a missionary kid who prayed a prayer at 5, surrendered my life to God at around 12, and went full-on into missions — but I was so convinced my story was going to end well that I didn't see the unforgiveness quietly destroying my marriage.

Laurinda

I went through a lot of childhood trauma and in that I deemed myself as being a bad person. I stayed away from church because I just assumed God only likes good people — I'm not a good person, so God wants nothing to do with me.

Danny

I was the most depressed person I knew personally. I grew up in church, even became a leader in Christian fellowship, but at the gut level I could not imagine God really loved me. I could not remember one happy day in my entire childhood.
