When Jay Painter's grandfather died in May 2024, the 27-year-old from Wiltshire felt he saw his soul leave his body.
It sparked a "search for the truth", culminating in the atheist being baptised as Christian later that year, after he read the gospels and saw the words "screaming" at him on the page.
"It was in that moment that I knew I was not righteous anymore, and I knew I needed saving," he says.
Most of Jay's friends and family are not religious, and he does not always find it easy to talk to them about his new faith.
