Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance shared the story of his journey to Christ during a breakfast organized by the Faith & Freedom Coalition on Thursday,

Vance said that “there was something a little bit shallow” about his faith during his younger years, and his religious views basically dried up while he was growing up. “I went off to the military, to college, to law school,” he told the crowd, according to the Christian Post. “Somewhere along the way, that faith that had developed, and was germinating, sort of evaporated. And so, by the time that I was in law school, I started to call myself an atheist.”

He felt “there was a certain arrogance” to calling himself an atheist, and “there was this idea that I was smart and wise and I knew things that my grandma never knew.” (RELATED: Who Is J.D. Vance, Trump’s Vice Presidential Pick?)

How His Hindu Wife Returned His Faith

“Thinking about what was required of me as a husband and as a father, the more that I thought about those deeper questions, the more that I thought there was wisdom in the Christian faith that I had completely discarded and completely ignored,” he continued. He started going back to church in 2017, and how his wife, Usha Vance, observed, “there’s something about becoming Christian that is really good for you.”

“There’s something about thinking about the Christian faith, there’s something about practicing the Christian faith, that makes you more patient with our son, and makes you a little bit more forgiving when I’m grumpy after a long day,” he quoted his wife.

Better Days

“In ways big and small, if you practice your faith, if you pray, if you think about what it requires of you, then God makes you a little bit better each and every single day,” Vance said. (RELATED: Assassination Attempt Is ‘First Political Memory’ For Many Gen Z)

“One of the really deep beliefs I have is that there all of these small little miracles,” Vance said. “And if you look for them, you actually see them.”
