In this episode of Shallows and Deep Waters, Gustaf af Klint interviews sixteen-year-old Jeshua Bustamante, who shares his powerful testimony of transformation. Though raised in a religious home, Jeshua once struggled with anger, pride, violence, and trouble with the police. After his older brother’s conversion led him into genuine Bible study, his life began to radically change.

From restoring his relationship with his family and learning to honor his mother, to forgiving his father and becoming known at school for positive change, Jeshua now encourages other teens who feel lost or rebellious. In the end, his mother and childhood friend got baptised as well, with all of them living as shining example of family. His story is a reminder that when God becomes the foundation, true and lasting growth is possible.

In this episode of Shallows & Deep Waters, Jessey Ofori, business student at Stockholm University and born and raised in Ghana, shares a powerful journey from religious upbringing to real freedom.

Raised around the Bible and church, Jessey knew religion well — but not a biblical relationship with God. Behind a respectable exterior, he battled pornography addiction, hypocrisy, and deep unhappiness, crying out to God for help in silence.

In Sweden, an unexpected Bible study became the answer to his prayers. Jessey discovered he wasn’t truly saved, learned what real discipleship looks like, and chose to be baptised.

Today, he shares the joy and freedom that come from truly understanding Jesus’ sacrifice — not as religion, but as life-changing truth.

In this short episode, Dr. Erik af Klint — Swedish rheumatologist, medical researcher, head of the Hilma af Klint foundation and father of three — shares how an honest search for truth took him from atheism to becoming a true disciple of Jesus.

Leaving behind comfort, career plans, and certainty, Erik spent a year traveling the world in pursuit of life’s meaning. Education, success, and the world’s major religions all fell short. Something was missing — a black hole in the heart no achievement or pleasure could fill.

Back in Sweden, real answers finally came — not opinions, but Scripture. Encountering Jesus through the Bible, Erik discovered a life and message so complete nothing could be added or taken away. When Jesus called him to follow, he obeyed.

Today, Erik not only heals people as a doctor — but helps others find the cure for the deeper hurts of the soul.

“I was a Christian — but lived like a pagan.”

In this episode, Liam Gallacher, a London-born graphic designer, shares a raw and honest testimony of searching for truth across Christian denominations, Buddhism, Hare Krishna, philosophies, and gurus — all while knowing his own life wasn’t worth imitating. He preached order to others, yet lived in quiet contradiction himself.

During lockdown, everything changed. Through online Bible studies with men who reached his heart, Liam encountered Christianity as he’d never seen it before — not vague talk about forgiveness or church, but what the Bible actually says about seeking God and becoming a true Christian.

This is a story of religiosity vs. reality, overcoming distrust and discovering a faith that doesn’t just sound right — but changes how you live.

In this powerful episode of Shallows & Deep Waters, host Gustaf af Klint sits down with Isack Häring, a 30-year-old backend developer whose story pushes beyond religion, labels, and assumptions.

Isack opens up with raw honesty about his darkest season — a point where he had completely lost the will to live. But a single Bible study became the turning point that changed everything. From suicidal thoughts to restored purpose, he shares how Scripture exposed the difference between being a “Christian in name only” and becoming a true Biblical disciple.

Growing up in the Pentecostal movement, Isack thought he understood Christianity. In Berlin, meeting Gustaf ignited a journey that challenged his doctrine, relationships, and identity. He realised he had been following a form of religion — not the Bible — and that following Jesus meant surrender, repentance, and transformation, not just attendance and emotion.

Isack's story is one of humility when faced with the truth, doing what is right at great personal cost and ending up saving his own mother's life as a result.

In this episode of Shallows and Deep Waters, Gustaf af Klint sits down with Victor Maslyanikov, a disciple from Moldova who has walked faithfully with God for 24 years. Victor shares his journey from exploring new age teachings to finding conviction in Christ at 18—grounded in three key questions: Did Jesus really exist? Is the Bible trustworthy? Did He truly rise from the dead?

Victor also recounts how the worldwide church movement he joined—over 130,000 disciples strong—collapsed shortly after his baptism. He reflects on dealing with hurt, why faith must be rooted in Scripture and not people, and the hope that even in brokenness, God can bring about something greater.

A church planter in Warsaw during the outbreak of the Ukraine war, a father of two daughters, and author of the upcoming book The Physics of Faith, Victor’s story is one of resilience, conviction, and trust in God’s hand through every season.

In this debut episode of Shallows and Deep Waters, hosts Gustaf and Dr. Erik af Klint turn the microphones on each other to share their own journey from atheism to faith. Together, they explore some of the hardest questions about belief: How can God be good in a world full of suffering? Can science and faith truly coexist? Why do so many people reject God altogether? What about other religions? What about the hypocrisy amongst "Christians"?

With Erik’s unique perspective as a medical doctor, he tells of his journey around the globe in search for truth. Gustaf goes on a similar journey, speaking of the struggles with religious hypocrisy and the practicals of transforming from skeptic to disciple. In this conversation they uncover both the obstacles and the hope found in choosing to follow Biblical Christianity.
