Shamanism, Drugs, Atheism, and Finding God in China - Nils
About this episode
Nils shares his journey from atheism and the occult to finding God while living in China.
Nils grew up in the Netherlands and was militantly against Christianity; he fell deeply into the occult, drugs, and atheism. He explains why he believed this way and describes the darkness that comes from a life removed from Christ. Eventually, God redeemed Nils while he was living in Shanghai, China, though the whole of his journey into the church spanned across two continents.
