Summary
My name is Chad Davidson, and I grew up with a false belief that being a โgood Republican kidโ equaled Christianity, even though I barely set foot in church. By high school, I was heavily drinking and using steroids, which led me down a path of anger and emptiness. After seeing hypocrisy in church peers who partied on Saturday night then raised their hands in worship on Sunday, I embraced atheism and rejected God entirely. Yet through a friendโs invitation to watch the documentary โExpelledโ and later the film โThey Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll,โ I realized I had believed Satanic lies. More importantly, I recognized the real truth of Godโs Word and that Jesus died for my sins. I fully surrendered, threw out my old music, and stepped into faith. As I studied the Bible, Pastor Joe Schimmel at Blessed Hope Chapel discipled me in evangelism and grounded me in Scripture. Today, Iโm blessed with a wife, a family, and a new life dedicated to Christ. Iโve shared my journey in my book โWrestling with Discipleship,โ hoping others will embrace genuine faith and true discipleship in Jesus.

Note from Doreen: I have had comments turned off of all my videos since 2009 because I donโt have an assistant or moderator, and my schedule is extremely busy. You can reach me through direct instant messages at https://www.instagram.com/doreenvirtue/ where I personally read and answer messages, albeit slowly because itโs just me without a staff. If I donโt answer right away, please write again and your letter will pop to the top.
