In a striking reversal of beliefs, an outspoken atheist has recently announced her newfound faith in God. The individual in question, who was previously known for her stringent arguments against the existence of God, made this surprising revelation on social media last Monday. This is particularly heartening news at a time when the secular left continues to downplay the role of faith and spirituality in our lives.
Freely Ashley, a writer from ThePublica, once vocally opposed to the message of Salvation, acknowledged on the social media platform X that she had encountered a life-altering situation which shifted her perspective entirely.
Ashley quoted him back and commented, “It’s not so obvious to me, friend.”
Monday, the wife, mother, and avowed “former leftist” shared the exchange and commented, “It became obvious to me.”
Ashley’s journey is reflective of a larger cultural trend where more people are rediscovering their faith. It is noteworthy that she has chosen this path despite being surrounded by an increasingly secular environment. Her experience serves as an inspiring reminder that it is never too late to seek spiritual enlightenment.
She continued, “I believe in God. This is very new. And scary. Why is it scary? I’ve denied the existence of God since I could remember. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this. I’ve spent a lot of time fighting against it. I’ve seen too many signs in my life to deny it any longer.”
Freely Ashley added, “So, I believe in God and I’m developing my own relationship with that in the ways that best resonate and guide me. And that’s where I’m at right now.”
All Christians should keep Ashley in their prayers as she navigates her newfound faith and develops a deeper relationship with God. After all, the scripture tells us in James 2:19, “even the Demons believe” in Jesus’ salvation, so it’s clear that accepting God is just the beginning of a long spiritual journey.
