Then I went to church one day and I cried.

I cried.

I was sitting there and I started crying.

I'm like, why am I crying here?

Like, what is going on with me?

What is the thing that's happening to me that's making me cry?

And I realized I've been carrying this burden.

You talk about it's not me, it's not me, it's not me.

I've been carrying this burden my whole life that it's me, it's me, it's me.

And I finally found a home where I was like, wow, this burden, this relationship with something bigger than myself can finally be shared.

And I tell everyone this.

There is nothing other than Christianity that will cure alcoholism.

There's nothing other than Christianity that will truly clear your depression or whatever you're going through.

Because it's a relationship with something bigger than yourself that you can take off yourself.

and put there.

And yeah, it's been tremendous for me.

I had a friend who, sorry, not to go on for a long time, but I had a friend who was like, what do you mean you believe in this now?

What's going on?

Because when you're raised Jewish, it's very hard for people to hear that you're also doing something like that.

And my Jewish identity is still important to me.
