Summary

I grew up with deep insecurities after my dad left our family, which led me down a self-destructive path marked by alcohol, psychedelic drugs, ecstasy, and eventually heroin and crack. After an overdose landed me in the hospital, a family friend from a Christian family introduced me to Betel. I experienced genuine care and a turning point in my life when I realized there was a better wayβ€”a way through Jesus. I eventually committed to following Him, even forgiving my estranged father when he faced terminal illness. Today, I have a beautiful wife, a gorgeous baby boy, and a rich, gospel-centered life that has transformed every part of my being. I share my story so that others, too, may find hope and restoration in God’s love. πŸ™
