#147 From Atheist to Believer
Manage episode 425923435 series 3386451
Stéphanie Rousselle, founder of Gospel Spice Ministries, grew up staunchly atheist. "Religiously atheist", she jokes. In her native France, the general attitude toward religion is one of condescending contempt. Much of Europe is post-modern, therefore much of society is "post-God".
As a teenager, Stéphanie spent time as a foreign exchange student with a family in the United States. This family just so happened to be Christian. Over the course of her year with them, Stéphanie experienced a peaceful, intentional love. She saw faith in practice, not just in philosophical theory. As the seed of faith was watered and planted in her, she describes the discomfort of coming into agreement with the Gospel. Stéphanie believes God confronted her with the reality of Christ's resurrection to appeal to her intellectual integrity. Unable to deny the facts, she took a bold step of faith to believe!
Even though she adopted a this belief system, she struggled to actually put her faith in the claim that God is a perfect and trustworthy Master. Adopting an ideological belief is one thing, but to lean the full weight of your life on a God you cannot see, touch or feel is another. The Holy Spirit invited Stéphanie to embark on a soul-journey to truly experience His presence, transcribing head-knowledge to heart-knowledge.
Today, she is a wife, mom, podcaster, Bible teacher, and lover of Jesus.
Our Father woos all of us to His heart is such creative, unique ways.
