Meet Tricia

Tricia shares how she grew up in a Christian home but pushed spiritual things away as a young adult. She talks about having a successful life with a good career and marriage. However, her world got turned upside down when her dad died, and her grandpa died shortly afterwards. Tricia’s life started to spiral out of control because of her anxious thoughts and it heavily impacted her marriage. God used this crisis situation to draw her back to church. She heard the gospel and trusted in Jesus for the removal of her sins. Tricia shares how freeing it was to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Now she turns to Jesus when she feels worried and He gives her rest.

Meet Scott

Scott describes how we grew up going to church and learning about all the stories in the Bible. He talks about how he lived a Christian life but he didn’t really understand it. As an adult, he stopped caring about church and wasn’t interested in Jesus. God worked through his dying grandma to make Scott think about eternity. Following attendance at a new church and study group, Scott finally understood the gospel and placed his faith in Jesus. He knows that one day he will be reunited with his grandma in heaven.

Meet Ben

Ben was looking for self-worth and identity in all the wrong places. He describes a worldly lifestyle, involving materialism, alcohol, and women. Ben experienced depression, as several difficult events happened in his life. One day, he met a woman in a bar who asked him if he believed in God. That led Ben on a journey of spiritual discovery. Ben heard the gospel and believed that Jesus died for him. He now holds fast to his true identity in Christ. Ben married that woman in the bar and now they have a family.
