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.

Amen
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.
Pray the roots run deep and Satan does not take her back.
There’s hope for even the worst of us.
What she described in her own words was CONVERSION!!
All smiles. I chose my affiliation as a thinking adult too. Good for her.
God bless her.
“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?
Powerful image. Brought a tear to my eye.
praise God!
Talk about a red pill. She was as far left as can be. Amazing
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.
HALLELUJAH!!
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.
