Meet Sam

In this interview, Sam shares that she didn’t grow up in a Christian home. Her parents divorced when she was 8 and that left her very hurt. She found herself curious about a God she never knew. She started learning a lot about Jesus and spent time around Christians. When she finished high school, Sam worked abroad and put God out of her mind. At the same time, she describes feeling very unhappy, knowing she was living a life not pleasing to God. When she returned to Australia Sam joined a church and quickly discovered the acceptance Jesus has for sinners. Sam understood Jesus died for her. She describes the unshakeable joy and contentment she has in her life knowing Jesus and knowing she has eternal life.

Meet Laura

Laura didn’t come from a Christian home. But God pursued Laura and she trusted in Jesus in her teenage years. She failed to block out God in her college years in order to fit in. Laura surrendered to God’s love. Laura’s relationship with her parents is complicated as they are not interested in Christianity. This doesn’t deter Laura from loving them. She has a strong sense of purpose, that God wants her to love others, just as He loves them.

Meet Brooke

Brooke grew up in a home hearing about God and what Jesus had done for her on the cross. But she chose to reject God and push Him away because she was sexually abused as a child. She talks about her anger, hatred, and bitterness toward God. She chased after a worldly lifestyle instead. Then, at a Revive Our Hearts event, Brooke witnessed the way Joni Eareckson Tada coped with her physical suffering yet still loved God. God used this to break into Brooke’s heart and she turned to God and received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Brooke talks about the weight lifted from her, and how God turned her life around.
