Meet Craig

Craig describes going through the motions of religion and not knowing what was in the Bible. He attended a new church where he began to study the Bible. He understood what Jesus did for Him and placed all his trust in Jesus for the removal of his sins. Craig talks about two tragedies that occurred for him and his wife – the death of their firstborn followed by a miscarriage. He shares what it’s like to go through those times knowing God’s in control and has a plan for his life.

Meet Matt

Matt didn’t grow up in a Christian home. He experienced trauma as a teenager when his father died in an accident. Matt had bouts of depression at college and turned to alcohol. After he met his wife, they both started attending church. Matt says it was simply box ticking. In time, he got more curious about Christianity and the Bible. With the help of a pastor, he finally understood what the gospel was and what Jesus’ death and righteousness meant for him. He now wants Christ’s light to shine through him.

Meet Grant

Grant shares that he was anxious about hell growing up and repeatedly prayed a prayer for salvation. Grant was raised in a Christian home but didn’t begin a personal relationship with God until someone challenged him if he was a true Christian or not. Since then, Grant has given control of his life to God, and God is leading him, teaching him and has tested him in the genuineness of his faith. Grant hopes to go to Bible college and become a youth pastor. He wants to use his life to serve God.

Meet Dave

Dave shares how he started life as a young man going through the motions of church attendance, all the while living a party lifestyle during college years. God drew Dave into a personal relationship with Him and Dave placed his faith in Jesus Christ. Dave describes the blessings of his successful career and marriage. Dave shares how he has to manage ‘good kid’ thinking, and remember that his identity is not in what he does, or the job he has – but that it’s in Jesus Christ alone.

Meet Latasha

Latasha describes a difficult childhood, growing up in an alcoholic home. Latasha was an unhappy adult and turned to alcohol for comfort. She was a church-goer but did not have a personal relationship with Christ. Latasha misunderstood the role of baptism. She describes the day she was born again, and how God directed her to get baptized as an outward display of her inward regeneration because of her trust in Jesus. Latasha’s baptism is included.

Latasha’s story was produced by Eagles Landing First Baptist Church, McDonough, Georgia, USA.
