Following Jesus When My Family Said No with Priyanka Patel (E35)
Download MP3"You've been bewitched!"
Priyanka Patel's relationship with her family changed forever in a single conversation. As she stood in the parking lot explaining that she'd become a Christian, Priyanka understood what singular devotion to Jesus might cost as a child from a devout Hindu family. But was he worth it? Thankfully, the community she'd developed through OneWay, InterVarsity's South Asian chapter at UT Austin, was there to help her navigate the difficult road ahead. And years later, Priyanka would have the chance to encourage another young student asking the same question she once asked: Is following Jesus worth the cost?
Enjoy Priyanka's story.
