Mine was more windy.
I started with the Scriptures, and did not have the theological mindset at the time to connect all the dots as I should. I was looking in the school bookstore for a light, short read on the death of Christ to "understand these things better" and so I picked up "The Death of Death in the Death of Christ," by Owen. Catchy title - good marketing! Not light reading though. But I managed to work through it.
After about 100 pages, I was on board. The dots were connected. I really did not go through "fighting" against it. It was more like reading a book - progressive revelation. I distinctly remember saying out loud,
"Of course he is right. This is right." (Speaking of Owen's exegesis and work on John 3).
I did, however, see some of my friends vehemently hate the progression, and subsequently me in many respects.
Theologically, it was just gaining more knowledge at that point.
