He walked into church wearing last night’s club outfit, sunglasses still on, clip-on earrings still clipped and he promptly fell asleep and started snoring. Then a couple sitting behind him did something he never forgot: they steadied him with a gentle hand, prayed for him, and told him, “You belong here.” That single moment of kindness became a turning point in a much longer story of grief, honesty, and a hard-earned return to faith.

Nancy sits down with Chris Jang for the full extended conversation of episode #127, tracing his journey from a childhood surrounded by belief to years of pushing away from church through partying, fraternities, bartending, and eventually running illegal after-hours events where drugs and cash were part of the business model. When Chris’ brother Andrew dies from a heroin overdose, the shock forces Chris to face what his life has become and what it’s costing his family. What follows isn’t a neat, instant conversion story, but a slow, intellectual pursuit of Jesus through Christian apologetics, books like The Case for Christ, and a growing conviction that belief has to become obedience.

If you care about Christian testimony, redemption stories, grief and recovery, or the power of community to change a life, you’ll find yourself thinking about this conversation long after it ends.
