My story is primarily centered about faith, grit, and growth — how God (as well as holy people around me) has helped shape me and mold me into the man I am today.

I grew up as a pastor’s kid. Around the age of 10, I first began to understand why Jesus had to die on the cross. As a teenager, I entered a season of sexual perversion, believing that the forgiveness of sins through Jesus dying for our sins was a license to continue living in unrepentant sin. I thought it would be excusable because of what Jesus did.
