Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate in the 2024 election, was recently baptized, encouraging her followers on X to “find Him.”

From CBN. Nicole Shanahan, the billionaire and former vice presidential running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has dabbled in everything from Eastern mysticism to yoga and has even practiced Judaism for more than a decade. But after facing a “heart-wrenching” personal loss and intense “spiritual warfare” on the campaign trail, she says the only place she found refuge was in the arms of Jesus.

“Sometimes life has this way of turning down the volume on all the chaos, and in that stillness, we get a clear glimpse of what truly matters. One of these moments occurred in my life last month,” she wrote in “My Baptism Story,” a mini testimonial posted to X.

It’s an amazing conversion story that begins in September 2014 and takes a turn “just a few days before the presidential inauguration.”

The 39-year-old patent attorney, Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur, and ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin, writes that she decided to give her life to Christ and be baptized after being involved in politics. …

She said she “never seriously considered whether demons were real” until that point in her career.

“Honestly, my last year in politics changed that,” Shanahan continued. “Learning just how far some will go to inflict atrocities on innocent Americans has shocked me awake. Other unexplainable events have also forced me to reconsider whether we are waging a war not merely with flesh and blood but with spiritual forces.”

Converting to Judaism

Before this “wake-up call,” Shanahan said she “practiced meditative prayer, influenced by years of practicing yoga, studying Eastern religions, and engaging in ‘personal development’ through programs like the Hoffman Process.” …

Over the last decade, she has identified as a Jew, but then recent tragic events in her life led her to see Jesus as the Messiah.

It began in September 2024 after her family suffered a “heart-wrenching loss” that she notes in her X post that she is declining to speak about at this time.

Through her masseuse, Ade, she met Diane, a woman who she calls a “deeply faithful soul” who helped guide her closer to Jesus and prayed with her.

Being introduced to Diane was more than just happenstance as Ade had been praying for Shanahan’s salvation for years. …

Diane, she says, was someone like her, “a woman of mixed race from Oakland.” But this 70-year-old grandma serves as a chaplain at the fifth-largest jail in the country.

The meeting between the two women was intense, yet emotional as Diane combed through the Bible with a laser-like precision that finally broke through the “stubborn skeptic” in Shanahan. …

When Diane asked the young mom if she wanted to be baptized, she immediately said yes. …

Shanahan concluded in her post, “For those who are searching, who feel the same longing I once did, I can only say this: keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Faith is not about having all the answers but about trusting in the One who does. And when you find Him, you will know you are finally home.”
