[Teisha Nolen]

I grew up in the catholic church, was baptized, confirmed, and took First Holy Communion in the catholic church. God was always there, but I can’t say that I KNEW Him. I knew what I had read in the Bible. I knew about the trinity, but if I am being honest, I viewed God as “out there” somewhere. It was religion. I can honestly say I grew up going to church every single Sunday, and I don’t think I knew God. It wasn’t until I had an encounter with JESUS that everything changed. I realized that God isn’t “out there” somewhere; he is very much alive and in me. As I continued to pray and read His Word, He continued to reveal Himself to me.
