The Machine Gun Preacher's Incredible Story of Redemption

Whether they're an action documentary or not, I just like documentaries because you know it's real.

So in that bar fight, one of the things – it's a real pivotal moment, the one in Florida, because it's really nasty.

It's really bad.

And you look at the exit sign.

Yeah.

And you kind of say – you kind of have a moment of – I don't know how to describe it.

You have a – I would say a pivotal moment.

Yeah.

Well, that was the moment that changed my life.

I remember looking at the front door.

And it was clean across the bar.

And it was at an ABC liquor lounge in Apopka, Florida.

And I remember looking at the door and I made up my mind, if I make it to that door, I'm done living this life.

And a lot of times, if I give my testimony, people think, oh, that's when he gave his life to the Lord.

No, it's when I made up my mind, I'm done living this life.

I went home that night.

I was so – I knew I had to move.

So I went home that night.

I told my wife, which my wife at the time, she was a stripper.

So, I mean, that's how far we were in this thing.

We were – we was as deep as you could go, you know.

Yeah.

So I went home.

As soon as I walked in the door, she said, oh, my God, Sam, because I was beat up pretty bad.

And – I told her, I said, we're moving.
