Meet Steven

Steven was a New Age Teacher until his inner thought life became very dark. He ran to Jesus for help and forgiveness. Steven warns people to stop trying to find themselves and turn to Christ. 

Steven grew up around Christianity and attended a private Christian school. He became deeply interested in New Age Spirituality. His study and practices of New Age Spirituality were intense. He set up a website teaching about New Age Spirituality and earned a lot of money through it.

Steven talks about how he prospered financially, but that on the inside he was wasting away. He was angry and had psychopathic thoughts. His dark inner life became so overwhelming it broke him.

Steven had also been studying Christian apologetics, and his restlessness about Jesus finally ended when he saw his own brokenness and need for repentance. He turned to Jesus and trusted in Him as Lord and Savior. He has found the wholeness he was searching for.

Steven earnestly warns New Agers to stop playing “Russian Roulette” and to believe on Jesus for eternal life.

Meet Meredith

Merideth knew the gospel growing up but into adult years she describes pushing God away and following sinful choices. She had doubts about God, and life got close to breaking point for her through a set of circumstances. Following her marriage and becoming a mom, Merideth started attending a church and Bible study. Through that, she understood that God is willing and able to forgive her for her sins. She placed her faith in Jesus’ work on the cross and now has freedom knowing she is forgiven.

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 John

John shares that despite being a pastor’s son – he wasn’t interested in God or spiritual things. He pushed God away and hated everything and everyone that reminded him of Christianity. John talks about his involvement with drugs, fighting and encountering the law. God used an assault on John to help him reassess his life. John describes finally believing in the gospel and talking to God whom he had pushed away for so long. Now as a believer in Jesus, John has a radically different perspective on life. He understands the purpose of life and looks forward to his eternal rewards in heaven with Jesus.
