The Gospel: Unscripted

by Christian and Alan

Hi, it's Christian here. I was born into the Catholic faith. I believed in Jesus because my parents did.And then I grew up. The world showed me many things, and I didn't really see God hanging around. I was building a good life for myself, so apparently I didn't need Him. Or so I thought.One day, it all came tumbling down. Guess who I met at the bottom? Jesus. And boy, was I angry.I started getting to know Him because I wanted to blame Him for what happened in my life. It turns out that I misunderstood a lot of things about Jesus. And myself.I share my journey with my brother, Alan.
