Defining Moment in Your Walk With God

In 7th grade, I joined the cast of a Christmas play at my church. Throughout the weeks of rehearsals, I watched people express their passion for faith woven into real life. It was almost as if these people actually believed what the Bible said! That example started me on my faith journey in a way that was real and meaningful, and I’m thankful for it to this day.
