Former vice presidential candidate gets baptized: 'I am a Jew for Jesus'
Christian Post ^ | Feb 26, 2025 | Ryan Foley

Posted on 02/26/2025 12:39:06 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

In a post on X Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vice presidential running mate for their independent campaign, Nicole Shanahan — a 39-year-old patent attorney, Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur and ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin, announced that she had been baptized as a Christian.

Shanahan's X post, titled "My Baptism Story," recalls how one night in January, she "felt a heaviness settle over me, thick and suffocating, like the air before a storm" after waking up in the middle of the night to calm her young daughter who had experienced a "night terror."

While she's always "believed in God," Shanahan said that she never "fully grasped the reality of the devil."

Shanahan's history of spiritual practices includes "meditative prayer" and converting to Judaism in 2014, she explained.

"Now, my prayers are directed toward Jesus. He is the bridge between us and heaven — our Intercessor before the Divine Creator," she stated.

"With the New Testament in my hands, I see the world's spiritual pain in a way I never could before," she asserted. "It's like a veil has been lifted, revealing a deeper understanding of the struggle between light and darkness. Today, I am a Jew for Jesus."

Shanahan's post included a picture of her and her husband, Jacob, fully immersed in a swimming pool, along with the couple who baptized them. She delivered a message to "those who are searching, who feel the same longing I once did," telling them to "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," she vowed.

The final sentence of Shanahan's post is a sentence reading "Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraveunt qui aedificant eam," which translates to "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it."

Posted her personally (and beautifully) written testimony on FR yesterday. Will link below.

That was a brave step. Jews really don’t like Jews becoming Catholic, but they get steamed and offendedwhen they hear “Jews for Jesus”. They see it as trademark infringement, I think.

“There’s hope for even the worst of us.”

In a world of pedophiles, murderers, rapists, and torturers, she was among the worst of us?

Check her history. Temple Emanuel, San Francisco. Very good she stopped pretending to be a Jew.

Yes. We are all sinners. Everyone. We tend to put things into categories that this is worse than that. But in the eyes of God, sin is sin. I am as guilty as the ones you mentioned. I have not done any of those things, but that doesn’t matter. I am guilty. But the blood of Jesus has cleansed me from all of that. I hope that you can feel the freedom that only comes through Jesus.

No mention of whether she’s changed her pro-abortion views.

So, more accurately, a TEMPORARY Jew For Jesus.

I think the main issue is the clowns who were never Jewish who dress up in black clothing and pretend to be Hasidic Jews, infiltrate the society, and seek converts without telling people who they are.

Dishonesty is no way to spread the Gospel.

I note this is to contrast with Messianic Jews who are Jewish believers in Jesus.
