Becoming Reformed

I am curious if anyone here came to Reformed/Confessional/Covenant Theology and Churches through something other than a skirmish with God on the Doctrine of Election. Is this always the first battle that must be fought to win a Christian heart to confessionalism? Or can it begin elsewhere? In theory it seems like it could although I've never heard a of a story where this happened.

Perhaps election is a doctrine which is able shock someone enough to get them to think about other things more deeply and biblically?
