So for the next question, how will y- will you describe for me your personal conversion experience?
2:50
As a young adult, I struggled with, uh, drug addiction and alcohol.
2:55
Um, like I shared, I, I grew up foster care.
2:59
I kinda got involved in gangs and drugs at a very young age.
3:02
And, uh, a- at, in my late 20s I had a daughter, and I was trying to get my life right, and I just didn't know how to.
3:13
And I always felt like church wasn't really a place for me.
3:17
And, uh, at 33 I went to chapel in, uh, a jail on my way to prison, and I opened the Bible for the first time as an adult, and I read Ephesians 2:1-10.
