So I actually grew up in Illinois, like a really tiny, tiny, small town. Um, my family dynamic, I'm the middle of five children, so a total family of seven. And, you know, we weren't Christians, especially when I was a kid, but we traveled a whole bunch because I was homeschooled. And so, uh, yeah, we traveled a lot in a camper just to like kind of see a lot of America, I guess, as a family.

Um, and it sounded all like great, you know, like as a kid, kid, like it was, it was pretty fun. Um, and then I guess like a couple, like when I was nine, my, um, dad cheated on my mom and then they got divorced for two years. Um, and so he left, he completely left the picture and moved to Mexico. So we didn't get to see my dad for like two years.

And we all, like all of us kids had no idea why, like we were just like, oh my gosh, my dad is gone now. He's not in the picture anymore. And then so slowly after that, my dad started reconnecting with my mom again, supposedly like they fell in love again, and then they remarried two years later.

So it was a really crazy story and but like a happy story for us kids because we're like, oh, great, mom and dad are back together again. So at that point, I was like 11, almost 12. My dad shortly after that started getting into ministry and like we started going to church. And then very shortly after that, he became like a Baptist pastor.

Um, we were, uh, pastoring like very tiny churches, like maybe total of like 45 people in a congregation.
