Summary

SummaryI was a Jewish fitness trainer deeply embedded in New Age practices, psychedelics, and prescription drugsβ€”searching endlessly for peace but spiraling into despair. πŸŒͺ️ My depression grew so severe I nearly ended my life with a gun in hand… until I cried out in desperation: "Jesus, if you're real…" And at that moment, everything changed. A fog lifted. Light came in. πŸ™Œ

Raised in a Jewish home with cultural and spiritual traditions, I never felt truly connected to God. Seeking peace, I tried therapy, medication, marijuana, mushrooms, and even ayahuasca ceremonies. But nothing healed the tormentβ€”until Jesus appeared repeatedly through signs, people, and testimonies.

I stumbled upon a video that mirrored my life. That was the turning point. Soon after, I met someone at the gym who explained how Jesus is the Jewish Messiahβ€”both Old and New Testament fulfilled. ❀️ I dropped the drugs, dropped the depression, and picked up the cross. Now I have peace. Real peace.

Being a Jewish believer in Jesus isn't easy, but I’ve never been more sure of the truth. I didn’t stop being Jewishβ€”I found its fulfillment in Yeshua. πŸ•ŠοΈβœ¨
