Well, I ran a lot in service because of, you know, being in special operations, all those fields you run a lot. And, uh, but, uh, I, I, I probably ran from like 13 years old to about three years ago. I kind of backed off from running because I felt like it was, uh, it was starting to impede my jujitsu, uh, competing in jujitsu.

When I came to Christ, it was after all my deployments to Afghanistan. I came home and just fell on my face, and I was in that just complete rock-bottom moment. I was in a complete state of panic, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and just real hopelessness. And I spent about three years in just this dark downward spiral. And at the end of that three years ended in a suicide attempt.

And that's when my wife came in and some amazing people from my community came in and got around me. And I was really confronted with the truth that everything I had tried to repair, the damage I had done to myself, to people around me, that I was trying to fix myself, that I was not capable. Everything I tried had failed.

medication, counseling, professional success, the MMA stuff, rebuilding my ego and trying to, you know, rebuild what I thought I lost from my, you know, my persona and then bravado, all those things, uh, you know, so some of those things are good. Some of those things are bad, but those things had helped heal me and restore me.

And, uh, the only thing I had yet to try was, it was a relationship with Jesus. And, uh, so for me, it was kind of like, I made it into my rope. I've tried everything else. What do I have to lose? And I, and I made a, uh, a very, uh, I'd say uninformed decision. Cause I didn't even really understand what I was doing, but it was just like, I'm going to give God a chance.

And, and, and, but that came, that decision came with about a year of discipleship that radically changed me because I realized that all the things that had happened to me, the anxiety, depression, those all came from some moments that happened in my life and some bad things happened, but those things didn't leave me to be in a closet, my pistol in my hand, wanting to take my life.
