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 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 Cheyane

Cheyane is a fire-fighter who was involved in a horrifying accident while on duty. He was sure he was going to be burned to death. In the midst of the craziest moments of his life, he had a peace about what was happening to him because of his relationship with Jesus Christ. He knew he would go to heaven if he died. Cheyane had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior 10 years previously. Before then, he had always pushed God away and had lived life for himself with partying and girls.

Meet Bailee

Bailee always wanted acceptance from other people. She talks about how she self-identified as gay and socialized with atheists and agnostics. She pushed-out any thoughts of God, and hated Christians because of bullying she received from Christians. God worked through Bailee’s College friends to show her what He was really like and that the Bible is true. Bailee accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. She no longer craves approval from others because of Jesus’ acceptance of her. She is excited about the plans God has for her life.

Meet Becket

Becket shares how he thought being gay was his identity. Despite the Hollywood high-life, he lacked meaning and purpose. Becket felt drawn to Christianity even though he felt he could never have a place in it because of his homosexual identity. Becket was invited to a Bible-preaching church. There Jesus Christ revealed truth to Becket and radically transformed his life. He now understands homosexuality was not his true identity at all. He wants other people who are involved in a homosexual lifestyle to understand that God wants to have an eternal relationship with them too, and that being gay is not who they are.

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.
