Meet Barry

Barry shares how he got involved with the wrong crowd and drugs in his teens. Barry went through the motions of baptism without understanding it and without really having an interest in God. Barry continued to be indifferent about spiritual things until he saw the changes in his wife’s life when she began a relationship with God. Barry then responded to the gospel and trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He got baptized again, this time understanding the purpose of it.

Meet Bryan

Bryan describes how he went to church as a kid but never really heard about sin. When he did hear the gospel he was angry and upset because he found it hard to accept he was a sinner. But God drew Bryan to himself and he accepted Jesus’ work to make him right with God. For a while, Bryan wandered from God and he developed an all-consuming hobby collecting toys. God used a house flood as a means to bring Bryan’s focus back to him and give up his idol.

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.
