Meet Dan

Dan grew up as a Catholic but soon started on a spiritual journey looking for answers about God. He was drawn to humanism and philosophy and was very skeptical about Jesus. Dan describes how God pushed Dan to make a decision while reading the Book of John – if Jesus was a madman, the devil or the Son of God. Dan describes how God opened Dan’s eyes at that moment revealing Jesus’ true identity as God. Dan trusted in Christ’s work for him and describes what it’s like to have joy in his life as a result of knowing Jesus.

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.

Meet Lily

Lily describes a very traumatic childhood and her strained relationship with her alcoholic and abusive father. Lily talks about her deep emotional pain and years of hiding what occurred in her home growing up. She led a party lifestyle at college and took drugs. Lily also tried to commit suicide because of her unhappiness and hopelessness. Lily felt anger toward God. God did not let go of Lily, and through the influence of her Christian boyfriend and time spent studying the Bible – God brought Lily to an understanding of who He was, and of His love for her. Lily understood she was a sinner in need of Jesus’ saving work and she trusted in Him.

Meet Ron

Meet Ron. Ron shares how he ticked the right boxes, to make it appear he was a Christian, while covering up his party lifestyle. Ron describes how God intervened in his life and showed Ron’s hypocrisy to him. For the first time Ron understood the gospel was true, that Christ really did die for him, and Ron repented of his sin and turned to Christ. Ron describes the joy and peace that comes through knowing Jesus Christ, and the futility of all those years chasing fulfillment in substances.

Meet Jim

Jim is a magician. He talks about how he had a skeptical mind and thought that the idea of God was make-believe. Jim describes his experience of life-threatening leukemia and the search for a blood donor. God used the experience of needing blood from another person to help Jim understand the gospel and the blood sacrifice of Christ and the new life we have in Him. Jim is thankful for what God allowed in his life, as He used it to show Jim truth.

Meet Tiffany

Tiffany had some awareness of Christianity growing up. As an adult, she read more about Christianity and could see that her husband had something she didn’t have with his faith. While she believed in God, she felt hazy exactly what that meant. Tiffany describes the occasion when God helped her believe the gospel and come to a saving knowledge of Jesus.

Meet Ed

Ed describes how his biggest barrier to believing in the gospel was his reluctance to see himself as a sinner. Ed refers to CS Lewis’ book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe – and draws the parallel between his life and the character of Edmund.
