Backslid for 12 Years: “I Felt There Was No Way Back to God”
Summary
I was cast out from the church and fell into a life of rebellion, joining a motorcycle club and engaging in criminal activities that led to multiple arrests and incarceration. I struggled with drug addiction, overdose, and spiritual attacks that left me feeling lost and isolated—even though I grew up in a Christian home. Early childhood trauma and unresolved pain drove me further away from God until a turning point came when my mother intervened and I was taken to a Christian recovery home. There, I accepted Christ and began the long journey of restoration. Despite setbacks, including backsliding, DUI, and broken relationships, God’s grace pulled me back. Today, I serve as a youth leader and preacher, and my testimony stands as a reminder that no matter how far we fall, God’s redeeming love can restore us to new life in Jesus.
