Meet Steven

Steven was a New Age Teacher until his inner thought life became very dark. He ran to Jesus for help and forgiveness. Steven warns people to stop trying to find themselves and turn to Christ. 

Steven grew up around Christianity and attended a private Christian school. He became deeply interested in New Age Spirituality. His study and practices of New Age Spirituality were intense. He set up a website teaching about New Age Spirituality and earned a lot of money through it.

Steven talks about how he prospered financially, but that on the inside he was wasting away. He was angry and had psychopathic thoughts. His dark inner life became so overwhelming it broke him.

Steven had also been studying Christian apologetics, and his restlessness about Jesus finally ended when he saw his own brokenness and need for repentance. He turned to Jesus and trusted in Him as Lord and Savior. He has found the wholeness he was searching for.

Steven earnestly warns New Agers to stop playing “Russian Roulette” and to believe on Jesus for eternal 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 Jackie

Jackie was aware of Christianity from childhood but as an adult, she didn’t care about spiritual things and thought science answered it all. Through family, Jackie enrolled in a Bible study and God showed her how much she had to learn about Him. Jackie came to believe in Jesus and trusts that His death took away her sins. She now feels a happiness she never had, she has purpose for her life and she loves to read the Bible.

Meet Chris

Chris is a well-known sports star. He talks about how his world fell apart when his father died when he was a teenager. Despite having worldly success, he got into a life of drinking which started impacting his sports performance. He knew he was in a mess, and he describes his selfishness. At that time, he became aware of a Christian guy and was very curious about why he was different. Over coffee, his Christian friend opened the Bible and talked him through the gospel. Chris knew in his heart he wanted the life Christ had to offer and he accepted Him as his Lord and Savior. Knowing God has given Chris a real reason for living, and he is confident that his father would be most proud of his decision to become a Christ-follower over any kind of worldly success he’s achieved.
