00:00 I chose not to believe in anything.
00:03 And I said if I want to believe in God,
00:06 you know, I'd have to believe in aliens and sasquatches
00:09 and the Loch Ness Monster and stuff like that.
00:12 I think if Jesus were here right now, I wouldn't be ready to meet him.
00:15 I feel guilty for so many things,
00:18 and I just don't feel like I'm at a place where I'd be okay facing him.
00:22 I like to assume the best in people,
00:25 and so when I'm in church, every time I see people,
00:27 I always assume that they have their lives together,
00:30 and I'm just like, here.
00:32 Religion, quite often, is something that we've been a little disenchanted by.
00:41 I'm not deeply into the faith like I used to be.
00:45 I don't want to serve a God that condemns good people to hell.
00:49 What if I just die and burn for eternity, you know, because maybe they were right.
00:53 I was saying to God, like, am I an awful person?
00:56 And I just couldn't hear God's voice about it.
00:58 I have so much doubt. What is the point of life?
01:01 Why am I here? Do I even want to still be here?
01:05 It was so intense to be dropped into a group
01:09 where everyone had such a complex relationship with God and with Christianity.
01:14 The experience was unlike anything I've really experienced before.
01:18 Not knowing what religious TV show we're about to sit on a couch and binge watch with random strangers.
01:23 We don't care if you love it, hate it. We hope you can at least relate to it.
01:27 Help us understand what's happening here.
01:51 I'm in. I'm in.
01:53 I did not expect that.
01:56 This is not what I thought it was going to be, but it brings you in.
01:59 It reminded me a lot of, like, Thanksgiving time with my friends.
02:05 I mean, it seems cool, but I feel, like, very wary about entering into that domain again.
02:10 I'm kind of terrified of going back to church because I feel like no one protected me.
02:17 When I was little, I would pray and I felt like I wasn't heard.
02:21 I really have struggled in loving myself.
02:25 I had to leave and, like, I was in an awful life situation.
02:30 The fact that, like, Jesus is in here and He's saying, "Well, I came here for you."
02:34 It was big. I really liked that.
02:37 If Jesus can love me,
02:40 then I should be able to love me.
02:46 God is calling you.
02:49 There are people I've had in my life for years that don't know me like this.
02:56 Well, they're about to.
02:58 Well, they're about to.
