ANECDOTE

Early Abuse Shaped His Identity

ANECDOTE

Rock Bottom And A Turning Point

  • At 16 Ken hit rock bottom, contracted an STD, and nearly committed suicide before a powerful encounter with God.
  • He heard Joshua 1:9 and began a fragile, turning-point trust in God that started his recovery.
ADVICE

Bring Shame Into The Light

  • Don’t try to heal alone; reveal shame to trusted people because shame loses power when exposed.
  • Seek counselors or community and share your story to accelerate freedom.
