Raised around the Bible and church, Jessey knew religion well — but not a biblical relationship with God. Behind a respectable exterior, he battled pornography addiction, hypocrisy, and deep unhappiness, crying out to God for help in silence. In Sweden, an unexpected Bible study became the answer to his prayers. Jessey discovered he wasn’t truly saved, learned what real discipleship looks like, and chose to be baptised. Today, he shares the joy and freedom that come from truly understanding Jesus’ sacrifice — not as religion, but as life-changing truth.

How A Teen's Life Transformed | Jeshua Bustamante

Watch the the full episode on YouTube!⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFxzb0C47_Y] ⁠Check out our Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/shallowsanddeepwaters] In this episode of Shallows and Deep Waters, Gustaf af Klint interviews sixteen-year-old Jeshua Bustamante, who shares his powerful testimony of transformation. Though raised in a religious home, Jeshua once struggled with anger, pride, violence, and trouble with the police. After his older brother’s conversion led him into genuine Bible study, his life began to radically change. From restoring his relationship with his family and learning to honor his mother, to forgiving his father and becoming known at school for positive change, Jeshua now encourages other teens who feel lost or rebellious. In the end, his mother and childhood friend got baptised as well, with all of them living as shining example of family. His story is a reminder that when God becomes the foundation, true and lasting growth is possible.

A Medical Doctor's Journey To FAITH | Dr. Erik af Klint

(Excuse the beginning with the poor sound quality - There was a mistake in recording) You can also watch the the full episode on YouTube! [https://youtu.be/5eNUzd2A8sE?si=1wp-hNa0_2VFcNQO] In this short episode, Dr. Erik af Klint — Swedish rheumatologist, medical researcher, head of the Hilma af Klint foundation and father of three — shares how an honest search for truth took him from atheism to becoming a true disciple of Jesus. Leaving behind comfort, career plans, and certainty, Erik spent a year traveling the world in pursuit of life’s meaning. Education, success, and the world’s major religions all fell short. Something was missing — a black hole in the heart no achievement or pleasure could fill. Back in Sweden, real answers finally came — not opinions, but Scripture. Encountering Jesus through the Bible, Erik discovered a life and message so complete nothing could be added or taken away. When Jesus called him to follow, he obeyed. Today, Erik not only heals people as a doctor — but helps others find the cure for the deeper hurts of the soul.

aflevering Becoming A TRUE Christian | Liam Gallacher artwork

Becoming A TRUE Christian | Liam Gallacher

“I was a Christian — but lived like a pagan.” In this episode, Liam Gallacher, a London-born graphic designer, shares a raw and honest testimony of searching for truth across Christian denominations, Buddhism, Hare Krishna, philosophies, and gurus — all while knowing his own life wasn’t worth imitating. He preached order to others, yet lived in quiet contradiction himself. During lockdown, everything changed. Through online Bible studies with men who reached his heart, Liam encountered Christianity as he’d never seen it before — not vague talk about forgiveness or church, but what the Bible actually says about seeking God and becoming a true Christian. This is a story of religiosity vs. reality, overcoming distrust and discovering a faith that doesn’t just sound right — but changes how you live. You can also watch the the full episode on YouTube!
