Even though he grew up in the Calivinist Reformed tradition as a pastor’s kid, Jouke Elsinga was not sure he believed in God’s existence. After reading Frank Turek’s I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, he came to believe in God and started searching for apologetics. He came across my apologetics class on youtube (also available on podcasts 50-65) and deepened his reasons for believing in the bible. Next he began digging into theology, trying to discern the teachings of the bible. He came to believe in conditional immortality (the sleep of the dead), but still held to the doctrine of the trinity. However, after researching a little more he came across the Trinity Delusion website and youtube channel and found the arguments there very convincing.
