"I had a very rational mind. It had to be logical. I needed proof. There had to be evidence. And if there wasn't proof then it was just something people made up," Lein told KHOU Channel 11 News in Houston. "Part of the training for engineers is to be skeptical, to demand data, to want to see evidence."

He married, got an MBA and launched a successful career at Intel. All his achievements and the world that surrounded him seemed very concrete and observable. There was no need to believe in something intangible that required you to suspend your scientific mind, he reasoned.

Why would I need God? I mean, if He even existed why would I have any need for Him, he thought.

But his wife pleaded with him to attend church, and he acquiesced because he thought "church was a place nice people go." All the while he tactfully but firmly let people know he was an atheist.

Then he volunteered at a youth camp and that's when his skepticism got shattered.

He was asked to pray publicly.

Put on the spot without any preparation, Lein got nervous. But he quickly figured he could keep up appearances by drawing on his childhood memories from Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. He would fake his way through the prayer.

But as he began to pray, something very unusual happened. Words oddly began to flow naturally from his mouth, without him needing to conjure up any memories whatsoever.

One girl was so deeply moved that she began crying.

"In between the sobs she begins to share that her uncle was abusing her," he recalls. "And that she hadn't been able to tell anybody else until that moment. That's when I think something clicked for me."

Suddenly, "God was relevant and He really wanted to do amazing things in my life," Lein says. "I became a Christian that day. And I heard a voice, and it wasn't Charleton Heston, it was more a thought that comes up and often times it sounds like Clay's voice but it was definitely God. And it said, 'Try Me.'"

This experience didn't fit into a neat scientific box, measurable by instrumentation or by the five senses. But it was evidence nevertheless that completely upended his skepticism.
