Yeah, this is the first real one.
Let's go. The first real one. Well, today's guest, you guys already know, we got Chandler Hallow. Did I say it right? Yeah. Hallow here. I'm super excited. We've been texting back and forth for a little while now, and it's cool. We're finally getting to meet and get cheeseburgers later. Yeah, we will. Which will be good. We're just going to dive into his testimony. It's going to be great.

So if you guys go to jesusinthestreet.org slash Luke, you guys can download the free Bible plan just so you guys can follow along and have something to track. Yeah, let's get into it. That's cool. Super simple. So, dude, have you lived it? So you told me you lived in North Carolina all your life. Yeah. And what's your relationship with Jesus been like? Like, start from when you were young.
Like, did you grow up in church?
Yeah. Yeah, my mom and dad were in church. We all would go to church from a young age. I was like, yeah, I grew up in the church and then. Yeah. I mean, I claim to know Jesus and accept it as my Lord and savior. But when you're, when I'm young, like I wasn't like on fire for God, you know, I'm just like, that's all I thought you had to do really, you know? Right.
I wasn't, I don't know, you know, I'm young and innocent. Like I didn't,
know how to explain it like yeah explaining this right like no no i think i think you are like at least for me it was just like a label kind of yeah but but in my life like did you ever stop going to church when you were growing up because when i was growing up we stopped going to church at one point but did you ever was there ever a moment where you stopped going to church and you're like oh maybe that was the moment where i started straining way more or was it just everyone around here is a christian so i'm a christian with my mouth but

Chapter 2: How did Chandler's college experience affect his faith?
had a loving family they were christian i grew up great high school experience like and i feel like that there's a lot of people that live like that but they're just not vocal and i feel like dang i feel like something on my heart is just like so many people believe that if they don't have some wild story to tell yeah that their testimony is not powerful Yeah.
But I think that there's more beauty and power in the fact that like people grew up around Christianity and then really come to know Jesus at some point in their life because like I went to a private Christian school and everyone said that they were Christian. But Christianity was like nonchalant for them. Like the Bible was boring. Prayer was boring for them. Worship was boring.
And so I think there's so much power in people that grew up around Christianity that actually come to Christ because now Christ wasn't this. Christianity isn't like this boring thing anymore. It's like it's real to people versus like people that are believing in one extreme. They now meet Jesus and they're like, oh, my gosh, he's real. He's true. This is it. Yeah.
I think there's so much power in like just. Because I think there's so many people in your position right now. Oh, yeah. A lot of young people.
All the people I, like, went to high school with, we did the same things. Had a great family. Had a great life. Like, some of our friends in high school went to, like, Christian school, like, in middle school or something. And then, it's like, once you get out of, like, the, your parents, like, home, that's when, like, you really know, like, if you had that relationship with God or not.
Right. Yeah. And so what was the first year of college like? Like, how did you I know you said you were like drinking and smoking, but how did you even get introduced to that? Because you said you didn't even do it until college. So, yeah, well, I mean, what did that look like and how?
I guess from my perspective, to someone that's never really did that stuff before and then you go into that, how did that sin entice you almost? I almost want to look into what that was like falling away before you met Jesus.
Definitely just getting approval from God.
like people around me you know like that's the cool thing to do like oh you don't drink you don't smoke or like hey we're gonna go to this party um parties involve drinking or smoking stuff like that you know right but um probably that you know just the approval of man was the ultimate thing i was looking for in that yeah i think it was like enticing you know until i was I guess doing it.

Chapter 3: What struggles did Chandler face after moving out?
I love that. Cause I feel like people don't think prayer is like something that you can do in the moment. I feel like people are like, Oh man, I just got to wait till I'm alone. But you're like, I would be talking to someone and then just be like, God, please help me right now. This is hard. Yeah. And then going back to doing what you're doing.
I think, I think that's so powerful because people look at prayers. It's like,
like just you got to use fancy words you got to approach God and Shakespearean language and then you know maybe if you say enough fancy words God will hear you quicker and like for your like Lord he's like he's like my best friend and and pal going through it so okay so another question for you what was the reconciliation moment like for you and your family I bet now in that moment
when you're quitting that stuff, was it hard to still approach them because you had felt shame for the stuff that you had just quit? Or what did that look like getting to go see your parents first time in a long time? Did you tell them what you had been doing and what your change had happened? Like, what did that look like?
Well, I talked to my dad cause he's like, he went through a lot of that stuff that I went through like time, like times 10 probably, you know? And, um, He was just like, why? Why did you do that stuff? I was like, I don't know.
yeah i mean he showed me grace and like he was just thankful that i wasn't doing that stuff anymore he wasn't like right there was no he was not making me feel guilty or shameful at all yeah because you know thankfully you know but the first the day that i had those trash bags right i text my brother zach i'm like i sent him a picture i'm like bro i'm throwing all this away like i'm done like just like
was happy to share like I was like thankful like yeah I was like bro look like yeah and um and then he calls me he was like bro I've been praying for you for months like crying out to God like that he would just do something and I just like broke down like I didn't know he was praying for me you know yeah and then my sister's paying for me like they're praying for me all the time crying like to God that he would do something in me whoa and I like I
And I just like, I was just so thankful and like started crying. Like I couldn't believe like they were praying for me and they didn't tell me like, you know?
Yeah.
