By Stevie in Belfast
I was brought up in a Christian family, which in many ways was a blessing but also difficult. Because of what I’d heard from the Bible, I knew [...]

By Mark in Melbourne
I am lead pastor of a church in Melbourne, Australia going for seven years now. For the first five years I was caught up in the “seeker [...]

Qualified for Heaven?
At age 18 I was in the most dangerous period of my life: religious complacency. I thought I knew who Jesus was, falsely establishing him as one of the many great teachers sent from God with a long list of insufferably arduous rules to thereby merit [...]
Changed by Jesus #42
By Luis Eduardo Villalobos, Peru/D.C.
Like almost every single Latin-American, I was born and raised Catholic. Eight years ago, I left my home country, Peru, for Washington DC. This was right after I became a believer and truly understood the good news of the gospel. How did this happen?
Nada de Jesus
I had basically [...]
Changed by Jesus #41
By Lee Brown, Downtown campus
In North Carolina, I was a worship leader and youth pastor for almost six years, and I saw Jesus move in mighty ways. But there was something I constantly fought that I never truly dealt with: I struggled with pornography and homosexuality.
There were long periods during which [...]
Changed by Jesus #40
By Rusty Taft, Shoreline campus
When I was 21, I was a chronic drug user, an alcoholic, and sexually promiscuous. In November of 1994, I had enough.
I was physically, spiritually, and emotionally bankrupt and void of any hope. I had decided to take my own life. While in the process of loading a [...]
Changed by Jesus #39
By Thomas Hurst, Bellevue campus
My life and my testimony can be defined by a single word: hope. Prior to 2003, my life was a series of false hopes. And in 2003, everything that I had so tightly woven my identity and hope into was lost: my career as an internationally recognized photojournalist; [...]

@bjoelbrown: http://twitpic.com/38e14 God crushed my pride and I spontaneously decided to be baptized today for the first time as a believer. Yeah! #MHC

I was once a self-righteous religious kid. Raised in a Jesus-loving, Bible-believing home, I was baptized at age four because I could [...]
Changed By Jesus #36
By Gretchen, who is getting baptized at the Ballard campus this Sunday
I’ve believed in Jesus, felt God’s presence, and recognized the authority of God for as long as I can remember, but chose to live for myself instead. I lived a life of hypocrisy, fearing man more than God. I thought that [...]
We recently received some good news from the folks at the Crystal Cathedral – Pastor Mark’s second sermon from the Hour of Power will air on Palm Sunday, March 28th, next year.
If you remember, his first sermon was on who Jesus is. The second sermon is all about what Jesus did as our Savior on [...]
Changed By Jesus #54
By a female teenager at the Ballard campus
I was raised going to church every Sunday. I thought I was a Christian because I was really good at following rules and thought I was an expert on Jesus. But the personal, life-changing relationship wasn’t there.
This seemed to work for me in middle school, [...]
