Summary

SummaryI was the party guy in high school—drugs, girls, and chasing pleasure. My parents' divorce left a hole in my heart I tried to fill with weed and weekend partying. What began as fun became survival—I smoked just to feel normal. Then one day, I tried to quit. What followed was torment—three days of no sleep, no food, and a total mental crash. I woke up in a facility, not knowing who I was. I had to re-learn everything… how to eat, go to the bathroom, even think. 😵‍💫📉

Desperate to rebuild, I stumbled upon a Bible in a resource room. I couldn’t understand a word—until a kind woman opened it with me and shared Jesus from the Gospel of John. That moment lit a spark. 🔥❤️

After I was discharged, I felt a pull to find a church. My girlfriend mentioned Hope Community Church in Raleigh. We went. I actually liked it. I joined a small group—and that community was my lifeline. Slowly, I let go of the old life and embraced the new. I got baptized 🙌 and declared: “I’m all in for Jesus.” I may not know where He’ll take me—but I know it’ll be the greatest adventure of my life. ✝️✨

Miles tells his story of having developed drug addiction as a high school student but finally after years he hit bottom, where he could not even remember his own name. But then he found a way out in Christ and through the support of his small group at Hope Community Church.
