99. From Hindu to Jesus: A Miraculous Transformation with Sunny Kapoor

Sunny's journey from the brink of suicide to becoming a missionary in America will leave you breathless. Born into a broken Hindu family in India, he witnessed his mother's crippling depression, his father's alcoholism and financial ruin, and his sister's suicide attempts – all before he turned 18.

When his mother finally left as she had long threatened, Sunny found himself on a rooftop ready to end his life. In that desperate moment, he made one last plea: "Jesus, if you are alive, save me and my family." What happened next defies explanation – his childhood friend, with whom he'd had no contact for six years, suddenly appeared, explaining he felt inexplicably compelled to find Sunny at that exact moment.

This divine appointment led to a 40-minute encounter with Jesus that completely transformed Sunny without changing any of his external circumstances. The depression, hatred, and hopelessness that had defined his existence vanished, replaced by supernatural joy. Even more remarkably, his entire family eventually came to Christ – his mother emerged from depression, his parents reconciled, and his sister and brother-in-law (from a high-caste Brahmin family) embraced faith.

By 23, Sunny had planted his first church, beginning a ministry that would grow to include multiple congregations across India and South Africa. Now, following a vivid dream where he saw America bleeding and Jesus calling for healing, Sunny has brought his ministry to Denver, Colorado – arriving with nothing but faith and a conviction that "the comfortable church is more at risk than the persecuted church."

Don't miss our 100th episode next week on Easter Sunday featuring a special conversation with my husband Chris, my brother, and my brother-in-law. Then in two weeks, Sunny returns to share more about his mission to bring spiritual revival to America.

101. When Faith Meets Comfort: Sunny Kapoor's Journey Through Two Worlds

The differences between persecuted and comfortable Christianity create drastically different faith experiences, as Sunny reveals in this compelling continuation of our conversation in episode 99. Having lived and served in three different continents, Sunny offers rare insights into how comfort—while a blessing from God—can silently become our greatest spiritual danger.
"Comfort can be deadly because there is no dependency," Sunny explains, describing how Western believers often lose their sense of needing God when life feels complete on its own. This spiritual dynamic creates a thin line between remaining on fire for God amid blessing versus slipping into lukewarm faith. The solution? Surrender. "Even if there is no persecution, we can willfully lay all our crowns at the feet of Jesus."
Sunny then takes us inside the realities of Christian life in India, where persecution is intensifying. Services disrupted, pastors arrested, and anti-conversion laws enacted—yet remarkably, the church is growing stronger, bolder, and more united through these trials. Christians now occupy positions of influence across Indian society while maintaining deep humility within their faith communities.
Most provocatively, Sunny distinguishes between external persecution (from governments or other religions) and internal persecution (when believers fight among themselves). "Christianity is the only army that buries their soldiers alive," he observes, suggesting this internal division may be deadlier than any outside opposition.
For Western churches experiencing comfort, Sunny's message resonates as both challenge and hope: we don't need persecution to maintain spiritual fire, but we do need to recognize the subtle ways we've stopped transforming and started depending on our own efforts rather than God's power. This conversation invites us into authentic surrender—the key to thriving spiritually in any circumstance.
