Jacoby Shaddix

A follower, a sober guy.

But it was a rocky path to find that.

And a lot of failure.

And a lot of questioning and, you know, turning my will over to God and following and then taking it all back and then living my way.

And then, you know, repeatedly finding myself like just in that deep, dark hole.

And, you know, when I finally put the bottle down and really like, it was like that foxhole prayer, you know, where I'm just like, God,

do you just hear me?

Can you hear me?

Like, I, I need a miraculous change.

I need something like beyond what I can do.

Cause I kept trying to like control the change in my life.

And, uh, it just, the walls fell, you know, and I had a fella that I was real close with that kind of walked my faith journey out with me.

And, you know, I was like very skeptical and very like, these church people are weird, you know?

And, um,

And then when I saw like this faith walk, like alive in front of me and somebody like talking the talk and walking the walk and I saw the transformation, it became alive to me and that it became, I was less fearful of, all right, I'll try to believe, you know?

And then it became like, I'm a full blown believer.

Now it's like, I'm doing a Bible study with a buddy of mine.

And like, it's like, it's tripping me out because it's like,

I'm starting to experience like different levels of, of freedom of bondage of self and like things that maybe I once thought were acceptable in my life.

Now I'm like, man, that ain't serving you, man.
