Dr. Hal Sacks knew religion through the lens of Judaism, but when he discovered that it's about relationship, not religion, an entirely new perspective emerged. Dr. Sacks shares how his
perspective began to shift when, as a non-believer and TV producer, he was hired to document the Jesus Movement. Despite a promise not to convert him, interviewing and observing hundreds of people whose lives had been radically changed by Jesus caused him to ask, "wait a minute, what is really going on here?". Then he experienced a "joy and a love" he had never encountered anywhere else. Dr. Sacks knew it was clearly the presence of God.
