The nightmares felt real enough to kill me — dying on the job, over and over. I'd wake up and not know if I was still alive. And I told nobody. That's what we do.

For years I was running — from God, from commitment, from the version of myself I was too ashamed to admit existed. I had a pornography addiction nobody knew about. I was terrified of marriage. And I had enough anger locked inside me to destroy every relationship I had.

I thought I had it under control. I didn't.It wasn't one dramatic altar moment that changed me. It was a stranger on the job who told me to read the New Testament. It was the parable of the Prodigal Son that cracked something open in me I couldn't shut back. And it was a room full of men — through the Conquer Series — who were finally willing to tell the truth out loud.In this video I share:

-The tormenting dreams that made me afraid to close my eyes

-How isolation on the job made my mind my worst enemy

-The moment a complete stranger on duty pointed me toward Scripture

-Why the Prodigal Son story broke through when nothing else did

-How I found my first real community of men through the Conquer Series

Almost 2 years free from pornography — and what that actually cost me

How I went from terrified of marriage to building a family on something real
