Meet Ellie

Singer and actress Ellie Ellsworth tells her story of being trapped in a life of promiscuity until she professed her belief in Jesus. Jesus set her free from her addiction to sex.

Ellie didn’t hear the gospel growing up. She talks about how she got into her first sexual relationship before marriage. She got married and ended up having an affair. Ellie continued down a path of promiscuity and adultery following her second marriage. She tried many means of help to overcome this addiction to sex.

Someone she dated invited her to a gospel-preaching church. She attended there for a couple of years. A lady challenged Ellie on what she believed – Ellie said she believed Jesus died for her sins.

Ellie emotionally describes the radical change Jesus brought about in her life just months after professing her belief in Him. She was set free from her need for men. Ellie reads some of John chp 4 about the Samaritan woman and explains how Jesus has used that story to reach her heart.

Meet Gordon

Gordon put on a front while feeling empty and having very low self-esteem. His life spiraled into drug and alcohol addiction, as well as pornography use and sex. Nothing gave satisfaction. Gordon reached a very low point and was about to take drugs again after completing rehab. But Jesus Christ stopped him and showed him how much He loved him. Gordon placed his faith in Jesus and knows he’s washed clean from his sin. He has found true satisfaction in Christ, is no longer an addict, and has peace and hope for his life.

Meet Crystal

Crystal describes instability in her teenage years, including a teen pregnancy, a party lifestyle, and multiple relationships with guys. Crystal shares how angry she felt towards God when her boyfriend was killed. Crystal became dependent on alcohol and was very troubled on the inside. That all changed for Crystal when she heard about Jesus, and accepted him as her Lord and Savior. Crystal enjoys the forgiveness only God gives, and the steady guidance from God. She now understands that her anger and emotional problems stemmed from her sinful choices.

Meet Lecrae

Lecrae tells his story of hard-heartedness, hip-hop, and the negative effects of not having a father in his life. God showed Lecrae his worth to Him and radically changed the direction of Lecrae’s life.

Lecrae is a very successful hip-hop artist. He shares that the biggest issue in his life was his need for significance. This stemmed from not ever knowing or meeting his father. Lecrae describes his passion for hip-hop growing up, and how he lived a reckless life of alcohol, crime, and girls. He thought very negatively about the Bible and Christians until he encountered Christians who he could relate to. Lecrae heard the message of what Christ did for him, and he trusted in Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Lecrae talks about how he asked God to help him get out of the rut he was in. He also speaks about how he has found all his significance and worth in God. He wants to keep close to his Father in heaven and help other troubled youth through his music.

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 Vicki and Bill

This is two stories in one video – married couple Vicki and Bill. Vicki talks about her luxurious lifestyle and successful career in New York, and how she could not escape from a gnawing sense of emptiness. She followed a party lifestyle for a while involving cocaine. She also got married thinking that would fill the void. Then she was invited to an event where she heard the gospel. She received Christ that night. Vicki was having severe marriage difficulties and had separated from her husband Bill.

Bill was a very successful businessman, who lived a very reckless life involving cocaine, alcohol abuse and affairs with other women. He had separated from Vicki and was living with another woman. Unbeknown to Bill, Vicki and their children were praying for Bill to come to know Jesus. Vicki arranged an evening where Bill was invited. He heard someone share their testimony and Bill decided to place his faith in Christ.
