The Real Life Radio Show with Evangelist Anh Le

In today's testimony we are going to talk about whether drugs and drug addiction is genetic, or simply life choices. Some wonder, was I born a drug addict? And others label drug addicts as like a subtype of people, looking at them in a way, and saying, Oh, those types of people. But what type of people get addicted to drugs? and it is genetic, or is it people's choices. Well, today, we will have someone who normally wouldn't be prone to drug addiction, found himself in drug addiction through what he says, a set of poor choices that led him to a horrible situation where he nearly died from a stab wound to his right eye at a party.

In today's testimony we are going to talk about how muslims deal with depression, anxiety, and mental health, and we will have someone who was formerly muslim spill the beans how she was told to deal with the depression and anxiety she had through the lens of Islam. Did you know that muslim Americans have higher rates of depression and anxiety than other minority groups, and may be 2 times as likely to attempt suicide than other religious groups. Why is that?

In today's testimony we are going to talk about whether or not a marxist Atheist can receive Christ as their Savior or not. Why would it be hard for a marxist to accept Jesus? Well, a marxist is raised and groomed to believe that Religion is the opium of the people. What is Karl Marx saying when he says that? As we know, Opium is a drug, and help to relieve pain and suffering and maybe mental anguish. But it is a temporary band aid, that will cause more problems than answers in the long run. Karl Marx said that "Man makes religion, religion does not make man." Do you think that could be true? Well, today, we will have Sy Garte, who grew up as an avid Marxist, but today, he professes that those ideologies were brainwashed manmade ideas, and today, he has encountered the living God, and is a believer today. Sy, welcome to the show.

Listener Discretion is advised, as we will be talking about mature subjects that have content that have a sexual nature, and are intended for a mature audience only. In today's testimony we are going to talk about the fact that many in the sex industry, from strippers to prostitutes, deal with greater mental health issues. Why is that? Is there a spiritual component to those working in the sex industry, And could Jesus provide an answer to help people to leave that industry? The answer is a solid yes, but we will discover that by having Andrea Huertas with us, who was a former stripper at a very high end club servicing celebrities, and she is going to share with us the spiritual component, where she believes for her, that she invited demonic spirits that led her to this industry, and used her in that industry. Today, Andrea has given her life to Christ, and has been set free from the sex industry, but she is going to share with us the truth about what was really going on in the past and how she found Jesus as her Savior. Andrea, welcome to the show.

In today's testimony, we are going to talk about agnosticism and how agnostics deal with tough mental issues such as depression and anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. First of all, what is agnosticism? An agnostic is a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality such as God is unknown, or most likely unknowable. So it is a person who is neither committed in believing or non believing in the existence of God. Kind of like someone who feels like they could never know. It is a life that is separated from religion, but isn't completely against religion like atheists. Today, we will have Tanner Lauzon who grew up as an agnostic, but dealt with heavy depression and suicidal thoughts growing up, and he is going to describe his battle with those things as an agnostic. Today, he says that his pathway to freedom was knowing the One True God, and the way to Him is through Jesus Christ. Let's find out what led to this change of opinion and belief. Tanner, welcome to the show.

Today we are going to talk about what is the truth of when someone is living a hypocritical life. Now, Christians are heavily advised in scriptures to not live double lives, and not to live like hypocrites. Sadly, some do, and even those in leadership.

He is going to show us how there is hope for someone struggling with an addictive personality.

Reincarnation is the belief that the souls of human, animals, and plants, are eternal, and are ever cycling, or being recycled, where life after death is being reborn back into this world in another body. This idea sounds pretty interesting, but is this how it truly works? Or is there truly a heaven and a hell, with zero cycle of reincarnation? Today, we will have Steve Kang, who tells us that he used to believe heavily into reincarnation through the teachings of Buddha, but today he says that the doctrine of reincarnation is false, and that he knows for sure that there is a heaven and a hell. Let's see how someone who was so devout in his belief in reincarnation, suddenly changed his mind.

Now, did you know that 70% of adults have gone through some type of traumatic experience in their lifetime? And when someone goes through something traumatic, there is a need for emotional and mental healing. But some go there whole lives and never experience being fully healed, and others seek healing desperately using any and all means from professional counseling, support groups, and even medication.

In today's testimony we are going to talk about the reality of faith and helping with issues such as depression and anxiety. Does faith in Christ really help those struggling with Depression? According to National Institutes of Health, faith based spiritual intervention is considered effective in reducing symptoms of depression. But is this for real? How does faith in God change your mental health? Let's look closer by talking to someone who has gone through this and discovered that faith in Jesus Christ changed her depression drastically. Daniella went through a lot of depression in her childhood, and even into her adult years, but today she says that faith in Jesus Christ has affected her life in such a positive way that depression no longer plagues her life.

In today's testimony we are going to talk about whether or not it is dangerous for someone to live and die as an atheist. Most atheists feel quite comfortable living as an atheist, and claim that atheism is clearly safer compared to those who believe in religion. Some atheists claim that religion is like a disease to the world, causing religious wars, planes going into buildings, and fanatic behavior that is dangerous to society. But is it dangerous to live and die as an atheist? Well, today we will have Bryan Melvin who was an adamant atheist living in Arizona USA, and he suffered from a near death experience, where he had an encounter with the afterlife he says, and it was a surprising turn of events for him, and a shock. Today, he believes that there is a God, and His son is Jesus Christ.

Witchcraft is on the rise all around the world, and it is becoming popular in western culture. But what is it exactly?

And people are loving it. However, are there adverse effects to getting involved in witchcraft?

She later on found refuge in Jesus Christ, and today condemns witchcraft.

But in countries with radical muslims, and with Sharia Law, it is against the law for a muslim to convert to any other faith, especially Christian, and the crime is punishable by death according to Sharia Law. Today, we will have Tomas Samuel who was a former Salafi Muslim from Egypt. He is going to talk about how he was raised to become a radical muslim that had a desire to go to war with the west and sacrifice his life as a martyr. He became a well known spokesperson to inspire many radical muslims, until over time, he found himself in despair and lived a life looking for real answers. Today, he says he found those answers in his forbidden conversion to Christianity.
