Welcome back! Today, we have a remarkable story to share about Kenza Haddock, who has a transformative journey from Islam to Christianity, and her insights on mental health. Kenza was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and moved to the United States with her family at the age of twelve. As a young adult, she experienced a divine calling through a dream about Jesus, leading her to renounce Islam and become an ambassador for Christ.

From Oppression to Liberation

Kenza’s upbringing was steeped in the belief that one is born Muslim and dies Muslim, a notion that instilled a sense of obligation to earn salvation through works. This oppressive belief system led her to struggle with severe anxiety and depression. She described feeling like God, whom she knew as Allah, hated her, which intensified her feelings of hopelessness.

It was not until she reached the end of herself at around twenty-three years old that she had a life-changing dream. In this dream, she witnessed a man in a white robe descending from the sky, bringing her an overwhelming sense of peace. Upon waking, she realized this was Jesus, and though the journey was just beginning, she knew she had to investigate this newfound faith.

Kenza’s journey to faith was not without its challenges. Leaving Islam meant potentially severing ties with her family and cultural identity. She moved to South Carolina for safety and began her exploration of Christianity, which included intensive study and understanding of who God truly is.

“When Jesus came to me and understanding that God actually is love, I wanted to cling to that God,” she shared, highlighting the transformation in her perspective on faith. Despite facing persecution, she found the strength to embrace her new identity
