THE ENCOUNTER: Real Stories that Reflect Ancient Scriptures

What do a billionaire and blind Bartimaeus, a satanic priest and Simon the Sorcerer, the Apostle Paul and a radical Jihadist have in common? These, and billions more, have had a life-altering Encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ!

In our new series, "THE ENCOUNTER," discover how the same Gospel that transformed lives over 2,000 years ago is still rewriting stories today—Real stories that reflect ancient Scriptures! 

You see, the testimonies recorded in Scripture aren't just historical accounts locked away in the past—they're living patterns of how Jesus meets people today. That desperate woman who pushed through the crowd to touch His garment? She's the mother of three battling chronic illness who refused to give up on prayer. That tax collector named Levi who left everything to follow Jesus? He's the former mobster now preaching in prisons. That demoniac who lived among the tombs? He's the man delivered from decades of addiction, now sharing hope with others.

From astronauts to addicts, from Fortune 500 executives to former gang members, from celebrated entertainers to anonymous strugglers—the pattern is always the same. An encounter with the Risen Christ doesn't just alter your life; it resurrects it completely. These aren't religious fables or exaggerated testimonies. These are documented, verifiable stories of transformation that mirror the very encounters we read about in the Bible.

The question isn't whether Jesus still changes lives. The evidence is overwhelming. The question is: Are you ready for your own encounter? Because somewhere in these ancient pages, your story is waiting to be awakened.

You see, the Gospel isn't locked in the pages of Scripture—it's a living, breathing reality that continues to intersect with human hearts in the most unexpected places. In this powerful new series, we're going to witness how the Word of God literally becomes flesh in modern testimonies that will leave you breathless. Whether you're an astronaut gazing at the stars, a former atheist scientist, a Jewish billionaire who has everything but peace, or someone trapped in darkness you never thought you'd escape—Jesus specializes in the impossible. He meets us exactly where we are, and then He does what only He can do: He makes us completely new.

Join me as we journey through remarkable encounters that prove 2 Corinthians 5:17 isn't just a beautiful verse—it's a past reality working in present-day lives. These aren't fairy tales or religious platitudes. These are real people, whose lives became living proof that when heaven invades earth, transformation is inevitable. Your own awakening story may be closer than you think.
