Even amid the craziness of this world and the seemingly ever-pervasive evil encroaching on it from every side, there are constant reminders that God is still doing His work and saving people.
RFJ Jr.'s presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, shared a detailed account of her conversion and baptism story in a lengthy post on her X account Tuesday.
It's worth reading in full, but Shanahan says her family suffered a loss last September that left them in a dark place. Then she met a Christian minister named Diane, the lead chaplain at Santa Rita Jail, who shared the Gospel with her.
Fast forward to January during a meeting with Diane:
She moved through [her Bible] with laser precision, guiding me to verse after verse as I struggled to read through my blurry, tear-filled eyes. The pain of life sometimes can consume your entire reality, and the injustice, the loss, and the extreme nature of it all can feel genuinely unbearable. The weight of the world, perpetuated by greed, lies, and indifference, can often feel hopeless. Diane looked at me and said with absolute certainty that Jesus could save me — that His blood is able to wash away sins and defeat the darkness that haunts the innocent.
Shanahan — a New Age adherent who converted to Judaism in 2014 — explained her journey to faith in Jesus Christ.
For over a decade, I identified as Jewish. But now, with the New Testament in my hands, I see the world's spiritual pain in a way I never could before. It's like a veil has been lifted, revealing a deeper understanding of the struggle between light and darkness.
Today, I am a Jew for Jesus.
Shanahan's partner Jacob, whose father is Jewish and was raised in Judaism, was also baptized.
Because Christians have become jaded by public figures that make statements of faith and then fall away, I know there will be rumblings about her divorce from Google co-founder Sergey Brin. I know there will be whispers about how Jacob is not her husband. I know people will want to talk about the New Age syncretism that's found in her post.
Stop and just read this for a second:
Anyone else reminded of Ephesus in Acts 19?
Celebratory replies poured in for Shanahan's public profession of faith:
Congratulations and a resounding "God Bless You" to Nicole! 🙌
