About the Book
There are a lot of books about faith. Finding it. Losing it.
And about real life. When things don’t turn out the way you thought they would. When relationships change. When
what you believed doesn’t hold like it used to.
I didn’t think that would be my story.
What used to hold… didn’t anymore.
This is the story of a teenage boy who didn’t try to fix me.
He just lived what he believed.
And somehow, that led me back to my faith.
I didn’t come back because I figured it out.
I came back to faith because of who I met.
I had spent years speaking, teaching, and writing, helping others find their footing.
But none of that prepared me for losing my own faith… or for how it would come back.
