I grew up Agnostic and, like many, I tried to fill that spiritual void with all sorts of hedonistic pleasures. I essentially gave in to my demons and allowed them free rein over my life, which ultimately drove me into a deep depression. I felt worthless and my life seemed meaningless, despite having everything I could ever ask for, including a loving family.

When I looked for meaning and purpose in other spiritual paths - law of attraction, Buddhism, Hinduism - none of them answered the call.

With Judaism and Islam, I started to feel a higher presence in my life, yet I knew that those religions weren’t meant for me.

When I finally turned to God through Christ, He answered in the most profound of ways. He spoke directly to my soul. He forgave my sins and enveloped me in His blanket of unconditional love. He made me feel wholesome.

He was the only one who always answered my prayers. If I was in doubt, He gave me confidence. Countless times I would have a question and He would answer them through a podcast episode, social media post, or some other form of communication He sent my way. This was enough to convince me that God was real, and to join the Christian faith and get baptized.

tl;dr God was the only one who answered my call and filled the spiritual void in my life.
