Meet Lee Yih

Lee Yih shares that he was born as a result of date rape. He struggled with identity and belonging, growing up in Iowa and also in Taiwan. He always wanted to fit in. He heard about Jesus as a teenager, but later went on to ridicule Jewish college friends who became Christians.

While in the military, stationed in Germany, Lee Yih talks about feeling lost without any sense of direction and meaning. A Christian couple welcomed Lee Yih and his wife. He learned it was possible to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Lee Yih describes feeling overwhelmed by God’s love, humbling himself and calling out to God to receive Christ. He describes how Jesus turned his life around and has provided the ultimate sense of joy and fulfillment.

Meet Jess

Jess says she was a liberal and grew up in a home where all religion was shunned. At age 16, Jess attended a church and found identity, love and acceptance. Jess talks about her new identity in Christ as a result of believing in Him. She talks about the ways God has changed her and refined her. Jess has not had the support of her family as a Christian, but she clings to her true identity as a child of 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 Bailee

Bailee always wanted acceptance from other people. She talks about how she self-identified as gay and socialized with atheists and agnostics. She pushed-out any thoughts of God, and hated Christians because of bullying she received from Christians. God worked through Bailee’s College friends to show her what He was really like and that the Bible is true. Bailee accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. She no longer craves approval from others because of Jesus’ acceptance of her. She is excited about the plans God has for her life.

Meet Becket

Becket shares how he thought being gay was his identity. Despite the Hollywood high-life, he lacked meaning and purpose. Becket felt drawn to Christianity even though he felt he could never have a place in it because of his homosexual identity. Becket was invited to a Bible-preaching church. There Jesus Christ revealed truth to Becket and radically transformed his life. He now understands homosexuality was not his true identity at all. He wants other people who are involved in a homosexual lifestyle to understand that God wants to have an eternal relationship with them too, and that being gay is not who they are.

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.

Meet Sean

Sean describes living for the world and finding identity in a deviant lifestyle. As a young man, he reached a crisis point where he was challenged to choose between following Jesus and continuing down a slippery slope of sin. Sean placed his faith in Christ and has joy knowing his sins have been paid for and he has Christ’s perfect righteousness. Now Sean is a teacher and has traveled internationally in his role to share with young people that there is another way.
