We're still celebrating, but she's here in the room with us. So to be able to come from a home where my mom was married and divorced seven times with a bunch of boyfriends in between, with a life that was on the wrong trajectory, going the wrong way,

Okay, here's what it came down to. This guy who was preaching, his name was Lonnie Frisbee. He said, come up here and I'll lead you in a prayer.

I've walked forward in this public meeting that I was kind of attending. I was far enough away where I wouldn't be looked like I was a part of it, but close enough where I could kind of eavesdrop.

But I walked over to this evangelist and other kids were praying. He said, pray this prayer with me. And you know, Jordan, this is a prayer that I've led people in for over 50 years.

And I don't think it has to be sophisticated. I think it needs to be genuine and from the heart. And the prayer went something along the lines of, God, I know I'm a sinner, but I know Jesus Christ is a savior who died on the cross for my sin and rose again from the dead. And I asked Jesus to come into my life. I didn't know what I was doing, But I believed it.
