And so my biggest thing right now is trying to do the best that I can to stem the tide of bad parental decisions, reunification of families. I've been very fortunate to talk to fathers who, yes, they made mistakes, but they're trying to get back into their children's lives and their children have put walls up.

I've been very fortunate to talk to fathers who, yes, they made mistakes, but they're trying to get back into their children's lives and their children have put walls up.
And I'm trying to give them strategies where they can be accountable for what they did, ask for forgiveness, and be patient with their kids so they can be back in their lives. And that would cause so much healing. And I can't tell you how many kids, all they really need is to know that their parents love them and that their parents are proud of them.

Not as of yet. I made it public last year that I'm a Christian now. I was baptized in Georgia. And I am trying to be closer to the ministry, trying to have more of an influence to talk about this message because ultimately this is whether you're secular or not, it is a biblical message. The importance of the family is a godly importance as well.

And so, you know, I do list my testimony within the book in the context of, you know, when I was very young, the Bible was in my hand and I understood scripture. But experiencing mental anguish, experiencing homelessness, constantly moving, I thought God abandoned me just like my father. And then it took me decades.

You know, I'm 40 years old now, but it took me until last year, I was 39 when I was finally baptized and finally fully reunited with my God. So this is a common, common thing. I watch a lot of testimonies of coming to Christ. It's very common to see these people start off with their story of family separation, whether it's through divorce or single parenthood.

and taking decades to come back to Christ. And they are lost in chasing idolatry and money, sex, drugs, you name it, coping with all different types of traumas, ultimately to finally come back. But they're the lucky ones who actually do come back.

Yeah, it is very interesting. And actually, it's a good point that you bring up because this isn't a new thing. It's not like my generation is the first generation to deal with this. A lot of the relationship dynamics, and actually you've seen it on the online world, how negative they talk about men and women as far as dating goes. A lot of that has to do with fear.

A lot of that has to do with what they've seen at home. And so when you ask these young people, well, why don't they want to get married? It's because they saw how their parents conducted themselves. Marriage to them is- Absolutely.

Yeah, that's exactly it. It is a piece of paper, but there's meaning behind it. You're putting skin in the game, but on top of that, it's an institution so we can raise our families. Most people, their objective of getting married is to start a family, or at least that's what it used to be. But now we see marriage as some sort of business deal. What do I get from it?
