You know, like and that was I don't know, that was just like and even now, like all the way, you know, I started.

Also, one thing to note is like I started telling people when we went to events, if we were going to be partner with somebody, I would tell.

you know, whether it was the pastor at a church or I would say, hey, I want you to know something about me.

This is part of my past.

And I felt I felt like that was important because I didn't want to step into someone else's ministry and

do something that would hinder them so I would tell them hey this is part of my past and if somebody comes up to you if I lead worship here and somebody comes up to you and says this it's true and I just want you to know that so like I don't want to I don't want to walk away and you're like surprised later and be like why didn't you tell me that so it became very much a personal conviction for me and I started doing that which even helped me find more freedom and more community in that yeah and

But what's been crazy is like now that we launched Open Spaces, even, you know, the journey is so long and it's been so long of like so many years of coming through this and like still walking as we all do in our sin and fight.

But now even in the Newfound Freedom that I lead, I just feel like it's just another level of like people know me.

Like, you know, where it was like terrifying to like even...

release it and like put it out there and be like here's our story in full you know let me tell you all of my sexual sin it was terrifying but like then when you stand in front of people you're like I'm not hiding anything and like I and this is the grace and redemption of Jesus that for me and he can do it for you

It's funny because when we talk about our story, like we were in counseling dating and then we're like, we've told other couples like, never do counseling dating.

But like, you didn't have this to go through.

Like, so like, it's like, you're good.

But it's like, it was so unique to us that we needed the counselors help in order to keep moving.

So I, now I think we've got to the place where we're like, okay, like what does it look like for these two people to chase Jesus and shoulder to shoulder, see what he has for them.

And at what point do we need to like, do you need outside help?

You know?

And I think, so there's a couple of things I know you'll have good things to say on this, but the one thing that I would say too, is just like,

it's not you know we've counseled people when you start dating like you don't sit down on day one and start

So here's the thing.
