When and how did the Lord save you?
I was led to Christ by my dad through a simple prayer by the dim light of my bedroom lamp... During my senior year of high school, my friend sent me a sermon about lukewarm Christianity... I then had two dreams through which the Lord convicted me and called me to repent from a life of lukewarm faith. This was a huge turning point in my life. I went from simply believing in Jesus to following Him wholeheartedly!

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I came to TVC in the summer of 2024. I had been working at a church in the area and got connected to people in the worship and production department through one of my best friends who attends TVC. My wife and I had been praying for another work opportunity when someone at TVC reached out to me and asked if I wanted a job here!

TED Talk Subject & Why
