New Believer #2

1. Tell me about your journey to faith in Christ:
a. I was raised in church for 19 years. Went for the social gathering (because all my friends were there. After high school I got out of church and lived an ungodly lifestyle. I got to the point where I realized nothing else can give satisfaction so I got back into church with my parents. I went to a youth revival conference and dedicated my life to the Lord.

2. What has been the best part of being a Christ-follower so far?
a. Being able to find satisfaction in Christ when I couldn’t find it elsewhere. There are still things that I want and still growth that needs to happen but I at least have a sense of peace.

3. What helped you step over from one life to another?
a. I felt like I needed to for years but I never understood what it was all about. I ignored it the promptings in my spirit and kept living a lifestyle of sin.

4. What has been the most challenging part so far?
a. Not following back into my old lifestyle. I still struggle with it all the time: rough language, drinking, smoking etc…

5. Do you think there will be a point where these things become less hard?
Yes. It has already gotten easier to resist these temptations.

6. What has been the biggest help so far to grow your faith?
a. Three days after I was saved I lost my job and I haven’t worked at all since then. Being in Master’s and constantly in the presence of God has helped in a huge way.

7. Have you thought about what it will be like when you’re not always in His presence?
It will be harder to deal with tings but, I’ve learned and felt the satisfaction that the presence of God brings. It brings so much joy so it will help a lot with keeping me away from things. Going home and jumping back into my home church will help a lot too.


8. What advice do you have to help others like you grow in their faith?
a. Don’t do anything just because you think you should…it will only bring confusion
b. When you listen to people don’t just take their word for it but search it out for yourself.


I interviewed twenty year old Evan, as a new believer. I have had the pleasure of hearing his whole testimony and I must say, he has been through quite a bit. I admire where he has come from and the work that God has done in his life. These interviews are so refreshingly powerful because they help strengthen my faith a lot. It reminds me that the hand of God still moves to change peoples' lives. Praise God for the redemptive work and saving grace of new life!!!
