When I considered the question, I thought of several people who have made a giant impact on my life as a believer. I feel privileged to have had many spiritual role models—godly men and women who have inspired me to grow as a Christian. But I must admit, my parents made the biggest impact in leading me to pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ.
When I was 17, Mom and Dad "found Jesus." And without applying any pressure, their remarkable transformation made me want to know more about God, read the Bible, attend church, and eventually ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of my life.
So, who has inspired you the most in your Christian walk? Is it a character from the pages of the Bible, a famous Christian in history, or someone you've personally known?

The Christians who had the most profound effect on me were like your parents: I was intrigued by their actions to discover what they had found. They helped to light a fire in me to cause me to want to dig into the Word, but never forced anything on me. They led me to God, but it was up to me to take His hand.
