Have you ever wondered about other religions? Perhaps you've been raised in a Christian church your whole life, and you can't help but wonder what life would be like if we, as Christians, were wrong about what we believe.

Sometimes the enemy can plant pesky doubts in our minds. Doubts that whisper, "What if...

What if there is no God? What if Jesus is just a fairy-tale? What about those other religions? What do they have to offer? What is the TRUTH?"

Meet Hannah T. She used to ask herself these same questions...and one day, the doubt pushed her overboard. She jumped the ship of her Christian faith and found herself in the belly of a big black whale! Next thing she knew, Hannah was on her hands and knees, worshiping a false god, living life as a self-proclaimed Muslim. Check out her amazing story!

The Calm Before the Storm

Hannah grew up in a Christian church. She recalls memories of her childhood as a little girl; a happy, carefree, child.

"My parents were missionaries to Latin American countries and the Caribbean for 16 years before they had my brother and me. Then after they had us, of course, they continued to follow a Godly path. My family attended a very small Pentecostal church, and we went there from the time I was born until I was around 8-9 years old. Those were special times for me. The church was upstairs in a barn, out in the middle of nowhere, and there weren't even pews or cushioned chairs! I remember as a small child sitting in hard, folding chairs patiently waiting for the service to end (as any small child would, right?)."
