What happens when someone who grew up believing there was no God encounters Jesus and decides to go all in?

In this episode of The Life Stories Podcast, David sits down with Cooper, a 19-year-old Baylor University student and CBC Students intern, to hear his incredible journey from atheism to a life centered on Jesus. 🎙️✝️

Cooper shares what it was like growing up in an atheist family, navigating family struggles, and slowly becoming open to the possibility that there was something bigger than himself. That journey eventually led Cooper and his mom to Community Bible Church, where everything began to change. Cooper gave his life to Jesus, began discovering what it actually meant to walk out his faith, and eventually made the decision to be baptized—alongside his mom. 🙌🌊

Now, just a few years later, Cooper is studying religion at Baylor, building a Christ-centered community in college, sharing the love of Jesus with believers and nonbelievers alike, and spending his summer serving the next generation through a CBC Students internship. What once felt like a disadvantage—not growing up in church—has become an important part of his testimony and his desire to reach people who don't yet know Jesus.

This conversation is full of faith, friendship, laughter, college stories, servant leadership, and a powerful reminder that God can completely transform a life. ❤️‍🔥

From complete atheism ➡️ finding Jesus ➡️ getting baptized ➡️ serving Jesus ➡️ pursuing ministry, Cooper's story is just getting started.
