I wanted to share these things I wish someone told me or I learned years ago 🩷 by @jukoehler_

Here is the full video of my testimony, no parts were cut this time! So this is different from the video Collective posted back in November.

I feel like no one ever talks about life after college and what it feels like. My anxiety and depression started getting worse and worse every single year after graduating. I started coping by drinking so my anxiety would go away when going to the bars or out with my friends. This ended up that I couldn’t go to a social setting without being drunk. It was getting so bad that I couldn’t go in public. For example, I couldn’t even go to grocery store or really anywhere in public. I would go to work, hide in my office all day, then come home and just go to sleep until I had to be for work the next day. Last year is when it was the worst because all I would do is sleep, I started even just making excuses to not see or hang with my friends. Literally all I did was sleep the first 2 months of 2024. Nothing made me happy anymore and I couldn’t even fake it to my friends or family.

I was going to collective on and off for 2 years. I really didn’t understand God and always had so many questions, but for some reason wanted to keep coming because I wanted to learn and understand. I’m so glad I did because when I started getting to these really low points I literally thought my only option was to try to talk or pray to Jesus. And I explain exactly how he showed me and made me actually feel and understand his love and presence. I have never felt anything like it and it changed my life completely. He made it so specific to me, with my love of alternative music, I knew instantly he actually loves me and felt it.

I can’t wait to see what this next year brings since he’s already changed so much in so many ways. And can’t wait to keep following and living for Jesus! 🤍

I was always so scared of him, Jesus is not scary at all and wants/knows what’s best for you. No one will ever love or be able to show you love more than him. Jesus has always been there for you and will continue to be. My advice is to not wait, but to start asking Jesus questions and talking to him. He will reveal himself to you. by @jukoehler_

A year ago from today I officially gave my life to Jesus and wanted to share my before and after thoughts!

In my video I will post after this post, I share my testimony and explain more but I did not know or understand who Jesus is and what he really did for each one of us. I know there are so many people just like me, who have been around churches or people who only express and explain religion. They never talk or show who Jesus is and the Gospel. They come off very judgmental, mean, and not loving at all. So why would I want to believe in God if he is exactly the same…? but I learned that is no where close to being true. Jesus loves you so very much and just wants us to know him and wants us to have a relationship with him.

Before I knew and understood this, this is exactly why I never wanted anything to do with God. I actually believed that you had to confess your sins before you died to make it into heaven or to be accepted by God. I had such a hard time believing that because of people who judged me for my mistakes and sins that called themselves christians or went to church. Since I was only taught “the religion” part I thought it was literally impossible to be loved or accepted by God. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with God, church, or anyone that believed in that. I judged everyone and everything. But that is no where close to being true. Jesus died for every single person in this world. We aren’t defined by our mistakes or sins. Every single one of us is imperfect and Jesus paid that price because he loves every single one of us so much.

All he wants is a relationship with you, to walk through life with you, and to be there for you for everything since life will never be easy.

Jesus has changed my life this past year in so amazing many ways. He has helped me through so much life, healed many parts of me like my anxiety, depression, church hurt, my guilt/shame, my past hurt and much more. ♥️

Also a BIG shoutout to Sara for dunking me when I was baptized in November. I’m so grateful for a best friend like you and always being there for me and this my entire journey! 🥹😭🫶🏼 by @jukoehler_
