From prostitute to Christian. Samantha Doucette shares all with Anh Le

In today's testimony we are going to talk about the concept of rebellion in our culture and world today. Rebellion, at least in America, is something that is celebrated, it is part of understanding freedom from the rules or oppression from another. Now yes, America was birthed from rebellion, so we celebrate that, but does that concept work in the home? We often see it as a normal healthy thing, but when does rebellion get out of control? Today, we will have Samantha Doucette, who grew up in a family with a lot of rules. She wanted to rebel and try something different in her life, and she became a prostitute. She is going to tell us how that went for her, as today, she has left that industry, and has become a Christian.

Dying, he called out to God and he saw Jesus and heaven! Jordan Samuel tells all with Anh Le

In today's testimony we are going to talk about the idea of absolute truth. Is there one absolute truth? Or is truth simply Relative to one's owns subjective thoughts? There are some people who believe that there is one absolute truth, and that truth is objective, and not depending on anyone's subjective opinion. However, increasingly, people are leaning into the theory that truth is relative to ones subjective opinion, and that there is no real one truth, but that it is all based upon one's perception. And often, I hear many young people take to this with spiritual matters. Some choose to believe in a heaven, but not a hell, or some believe that nothing exists at all. But is that the right approach to create your own truths? Today we will have Jordan Samuel, who grew up Catholic, but then decided that he was above what he was being taught as a young man, and decided to live his life based upon his own truths that he created based upon how he saw things. Let's hear what happened when Jordan died, and then came back to life in this state of believing in relative truth.
