I grew up in a lukewarm home where I thought I was smarter than everyone else in the room. I left the house at 18 and completely fell away from my faith. I got depressed with this philosophical idea haunting me day and night — that if God doesn’t exist, then nothing in this life matters. The experience of living didn’t feel worth it if it came with hardships.
My life took a really dark turn. I went from a cushy lifestyle to basically being homeless. Then through psychedelics I realized there was more than just the natural world, and I chased after it. I wanted something real — something worth living for. But the psychedelics only gave me more questions and very few answers.
Then one night, while on psychedelics, I had a vision of Hell. It was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. It left me with something like PTSD for months. I realized there was a place I couldn’t escape on my own, and I didn’t have the strength to endure it. It was terrifying.
After that night, I devoted my life to Christ. I always wanted to share my testimony, and I always felt God wanted me to. Five years later, God has been pushing me to make my movie. And now we’re finally picking up traction. With your help, I’ll be able to show my testimony. But it doesn’t stop there. Over the years God has shown me powerful testimonies from other people too. And with this ministry, my goal is to fund, produce, and distribute these testimony-based films across the country — not documentaries, but full narrative films. With churches hosting the events and God guiding the process, I’ve built a win-win business plan that we’re launching with AJM as our 501(c)(3) sponsor.
I want to create Christian films that break the mold and the cheesy/watered down stigma they carry today. I want to create community events where Christians and non-Christians can enjoy quality entertainment under the same roof. And ultimately, I want to get life-changing testimonies in front of millions.
