MAN “PRETENDS” GOD IS REAL FOR 30 DAYS, BUT STOPS PRETENDING ON DAY 20
Brian Guan was raised Christian but walked away from his faith during college.
Feeling jaded and searching for deeper meaning, the New York influencer began an unusual experiment: He would spend 30 days living as though God were real and see what happened.
He called it “faithless Christianity.”
“Practice first, let faith catch up,” Brian explained.
He began praying every morning, practicing gratitude, reading the Bible and attempting to apply the teachings of Jesus.
Then everything changed.
Brian said he became kinder to strangers and that an eight-year struggle with ni****ne quietly faded away.
“I experienced the fear of God and, more importantly, I experienced fear of being away from God,” he shared.
Brian said that in four years of practicing and teaching yoga, he had never experienced this kind of transformation.
On day 20, fighting back tears, Brian made his decision:
“I’m done pretending...Jesus Christ is real. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.”
He continued, “Jesus Christ is real and died for your sins on a cross. And then three days later, He rose from the dead. He conquered death. That’s my guy, bro.”
Now other people are beginning the challenge for themselves.
Praise God! Does Brian’s testimony encourage you?
