Summary

SummaryI grew up in Southern California with no real talk of Godβ€”just Grandma’s surprise church visits. By my teens I chased every party, drinking and drugs, but the emptiness was crushing. At 23, after friends started dying and life spiraled, I woke up one night and literally fell to my knees: β€˜It is time.’ I surrendered my life to Jesus, grabbed the Bible my mom had given me five years earlier, and read until I was born again. Suddenly the cravings vanished, old friends drifted away, and God led me to my sister’s home in Mission Viejo, where prayer and new believer community reshaped me. A year later I answered God’s call, studied the Scriptures in Bible college, and now serve as Pastor at The Everyday Church. God’s grace transformed this once-hedonistic youth into a follower of Christ, and I wouldn’t change a thing. πŸ™βœ¨
