A part of your testimony, because I wanted to ask you this question. Okay. Because I was like, okay, I just want to ask you one question. We'll just flow from there. But the one question, because I feel like I could have asked you a million things, but you kind of talked about in your testimony, you rededicate your life to the Lord. You grew up, your dad was a pastor, then it became your uncle.

Like you knew the image of Christ. What was the turning point in your life where Jesus became Lord to you and And not just like a historical figure you heard on a Sunday.

Yeah. Honestly, the turning point, because I rededicated my life in 2020. I had grown up in the church. I think I was born in the church. My mom gave birth to me, and she started taking me to church. So I just grew up hearing about other people's faith all the time or hearing about having faith in God.

So I just grew up hearing about other people's faith all the time or hearing about having faith in God.

So a lot of it was just I was being taught all this stuff, but I really believe growing up it was – It was more religious than it... I feel like it's tacky to say religious than it was relational between me and God.

Not to discredit everything I learned because everything I learned, I still carry with me to this day because it literally helped define and it still helps build and equip my relationship with God. But I want to say the turning point was...

not leaning on my pastor's faith and my family's faith yeah and start realizing like oh wait i have to do this alone right this is between me and god i can't lean on like my what happens when my dad can't pick me up my dad travels for work he's on the road a lot so i'm like when he's not here then who can i go to for advice it's like so i was running to i would call my uncle i'm like uncle i'm going through all this blah blah so it's like i was leaning on so much of like

their faith that the Lord had to like crush me completely wreck me about my sin like my own sin because a lot of like what I was dealing with was self-righteousness um I thought I was good I thought I was better than everything I thought because I can quote scripture off the dome that I was cool I was solid but my lifestyle was reflecting so differently and

And so it wasn't until 2020 when I had a lot of time to think and reflect. The Lord was like, you are an awful person in the most gentle and loving way. But I felt like Isaiah in that moment, coming face to face with God in a moment of prayer and being like, I hate myself, but not as I hate myself, but I see who I, who I am for who I am, but who I could be because of the blood of Jesus.

And so that's the turning point I had just being in my prayer closet with God and him showing me exactly who I am without him.

And so that is like where the turning point of that relationship happened. And yeah,
