Deep dives
Laura's Journey to Faith
Laura Powell grew up in a non-Christian home, primarily focused on sports and academics, with little exposure to Christianity. Despite being a good student and competitive athlete, she lacked a clear understanding of what being a Christian entailed. This changed when she took a course in New Testament studies at Duke University, where she was challenged to critically analyze biblical texts. Through unexpected encounters, including a transformative moment in the shower where she grasped the reality of God, she eventually sought out community and guidance, leading her to a profound faith in Christ.
