Why This Christian Couple Left Everything to Become Jewish

Caleiv and Chana Jeantine join us for an unforgettable conversation about one of the most unlikely journeys to Judaism you'll ever hear. Caleiv, the son of Haitian immigrants and a gifted musician who grew up playing piano in his father's gospel church, and Chana, raised in a small Seventh-Day Adventist community down south, met at church, married within a matter of months, and set out to build a life centered entirely around God. What began as a simple commitment to wake up and study the Tanach together every single morning slowly turned their whole world upside down.

The more they learned, the more the contradictions piled up, until they could no longer ignore what the text was plainly telling them. Their search cost them their church, took them through a messianic detour, and eventually led them to the doors of Chabad of Augusta, where they showed up every Shabbat for two years before formally converting. They open up about the fear, the heartbreak, and the sense of betrayal that came with walking away from everything they were raised to believe and why they're convinced that if you sit down and truly study the words with intention, you never know where they might lead you.
