From Islam to Jesus: The Night Everything Changed

Have you ever questioned what you believe… and been afraid of what it might cost you to follow the truth?

In this powerful episode of the Redeemed Podcast, Lauren sits down with Yusuf Agoro, whose life took an unexpected turn—from being raised in a devout Muslim household to encountering Jesus in a life-changing moment that transformed everything.

Yusuf shares the raw and honest journey of faith, identity, and obedience—even when it comes with a cost.

This is more than a story of conversion—
 it’s a story of pursuit, surrender, and the undeniable love of God.

📖 “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story…” — Psalm 107:2
