Today’s episode of Changing features college student Junior Germain. While he grew up in a religious household, he did not have a relationship with God himself until he made a change. The change? He made a prayer for truth.
Junior wasn’t always religious.
- While his mom would drag him to church every Sunday, Junior hated it. He just didn’t want to make room for religion in his life. And his relationship with religion stayed like that until he was 14.
- It was partly because he wasn’t sure how or why he should develop a relationship with God. He didn’t own a Bible, the sermons were in a language he didn’t fully understand, and he was never taught to pray. Junior just didn’t have a lot of resources.
His desire to live a better life made him start caring.
- Knowing that he wouldn’t go to heaven (because he never repented for his sins) inspired Junior to take action.
- While he had never truly prayed up until that point, Junior knew that’s what he needed to do. He got on his knees, talked to God, and asked him for a message.
- After that prayer, Junior kind of forgot about it. But the next day, two men came to his door with a message from Jesus Christ.
- One thing led to another, and two weeks later, Junior was baptized.
This experience has changed Junior’s life.
- His life has made a complete turn, and Junior attributes all the positive changes in his life to Jesus Christ.
- He no longer cares only about himself; his relationship with Christ has made him more empathetic and caring towards others.
- It has inspired him to be his best self, both for himself and the people around him.
Junior’s word of advice for people looking to change? Never stop trying. It can be easy to feel left behind but remember it is all a part of God’s plan, and he loves you unconditionally. To get in contact with Junior, connect with him on LinkedIn and Facebook. Audio credits to soundstripe.
