Before I came to know Jesus, I was living life largely according to my own understanding and relying on myself.
God has always been a part of my life, but when I was five, I was invited to Sparks, and that is where my relationship with God began. In third grade, at TnT, I accepted Jesus into my life as my Savior. I continued with Youth group, but my relationship with Christ was unstable until college, where I started really interacting with the Word. When I came back home, I knew I wanted to be more intentional with my faith and started becoming more active with the church, which brought me here, professing my faith to the whole church.
I struggled for years with deep loneliness, self-hatred, and addiction as I searched for a way to fill the emptiness inside. After reaching a turning point, I began to pray and seek sobriety, which eventually led me to fully surrender my life to Jesus Christ. Today, I credit my faith and the grace of God for saving me from my past and giving me life new hope, peace, and purpose.
At a young age I didn’t have Christ in my life, I filled this void with alcohol, drugs, and women. I met my wife in my mid twenties and with her help, along with a good friend of mine, I found my way to Christ. Since the last year of attending GBC, I’ve really found the love of Christ, and I give it all to Him as my Lord and Savior.
