What Test Do I Need To Pass To Follow Jesus?
Kenza was born and raised in the Muslim family in Casablanca, Morrocco. Her fear of failing Allah began early. Then her family moved to the states when she was 12.
That’s when her efforts to please God ramped up a hundred times! Islam required praying five time a day, she’d pray seven. Islam required a 30 day fast; she’d fast for 40.
By the time she was 23, she gave up trying to be good enough. She knew she couldn’t. She was convinced God hated her. And that’s when she decided to end her life.
Kenza Haddock is a licensed counselor, an author (her latest book is The Ex-Muslim’s Guide to Christianity) and she’s a follower of Jesus. Because Jesus found her the night she was going to end it all.
IN THIS EPISODE
Kenza Haddock
Long story short, Kenza grew up in a Muslim household and practiced the pillars of Islam. Jesus appeared to her in a dream, and Kenza's life has never been the same. He pursued her, saved her, and gave her a brand new life. Today, she has the honor of teaching and writing books that will guide you to the same love and passion for Christ as she has!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
