Jason Sobel was a hard-working young Jewish man living in New York City who believed he knew the intricacies of his faith. But as he acknowledges now, he didn't. At the time, Sobel was an employee at a large recording studio in the Big Apple, surrounded by rock stars and rappers.

"I looked at their life, and I said, 'There has to be something more than this,'" Sobel told Crosswalk Headlines. "And I began a spiritual journey. I was going to the synagogue and studying with my traditional rabbi. And I started studying martial arts and Eastern philosophy."

Eventually, he found Christianity. Or, as he says, Jesus found him. 

"One day, I was meditating and had this crazy spiritual experience. My soul began to leave my body. Next thing I know, I was up in Heaven and standing before this King," Sobel said. 

Sobel remembers a "glorious light." 

"I felt the power of God pulsate through every part of my body. And I didn't know anything, but I knew that that was Jesus …seated there on that throne, and He told me I was called to serve Him. Next thing I knew, I was back in my body, shaking under the power of Heaven, running around, going, 'I'm called to serve Him.' My mom's like, 'You're called to serve who? We're Jewish, for goodness sake.'"
