Testimonys
I grew up in a home of brokenness and trauma. What I didn’t know at the time is God gave me resiliency, hope, and love during my childhood. It was God’s grace and love for us children in my family that brought me to this testimony today. Six years ago, in 2020 I first attended church, and I was baptized in August 2025.
I was too proud to know that it was Jesus who protected my mind and my heart as a child, therefore I spent many years in brokenness and trauma in my adult life. This caused addiction, dysfunction and destroyed meaningful relationships, but God removed this spiritual darkness and continues to sanctify me today. All glory and praise to God the Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. Into the Light!
For years I wandered through a dark wilderness of a family plagued by addiction and of my own personal choices. I always knew there was a God. I had even heard about Jesus and I claimed to believe, but I had no saving relationship with Christ. I wrote songs with spiritual themes, and about the war between dark and light. In 1997 I recorded an album in and had it mixed in "The Warehouse" studio in East Vancouver BC. Many of the biggest bands recorded there in that same studio. Little did I know that even though God had His Hand on my life, I needed to be humbled. I went from recording and shooting a big budget music video and having a song on the radio, to shooting drugs on the same street of Main and Hastings where I nearly lost my life. After everything I valued was lost, my family my home, my friends, my dignity, in 2014 I woke up one morning in a homeless shelter. I got up off my sticky sweaty dirty plastic floor matt, I walked outside , eyes filled with tears, I cried out my most desperate plea "Jesus please help me!" I surrendered there and then. That very same day some miraculous events unfolded and God began to put my life back together again. Today I am so grateful to be alive. I have been born from above! My greatest joy is to know Christ Jesus. After all those years searching for purpose and meaning in sex drugs and rock n roll, trying to fill my flesh with all the world had to offer I discovered none of that filled me up but it left me empty. After a lifetime of searching for a father today praise God I know in Whom I have believed and I finally have a Heavenly Father.
