Jeremy started messing with alcohol at a young age, which led him down a path of destruction almost to the point of Suicide!!!  I can't wait for you to hear his story and how Jesus truly saved his life!! 

We talked about addiction also about Mental Health awareness, especially in men. The importance of talking to someone and not keeping everything bottled up inside.  I love that Jeremy also talked about getting help through a counselor or therapist..

Jeremy you are an inspiration to me and so many others!!! Keep sharing your story of HOPE & how Jesus saved you and can save others!!!

This is truly a great story of HOPE & Detrmination.  Carlos at 16 had his life change because of an unfortunate fire at his mom's restaurant.  He didn't have the luxurys that his older siblings had, because of the loss of income.  That did not stop Carlos from pursuing his entrepreneurship mindset.  
He is now an Author,  he owns not just 1 business but 3 at the moment.  His never giving up attitude is what has brought him from Struggles to Strength!!

Kevin definitely wasnt dealt a hand of great cards in his younger years.  Growing up in Chicago in Gang neighborhoods, he went from the boy who would cry over a deer being hit, to carrying a bat & gun to hurt another student. 
The fact that Kevin's mom moved him out of the city of Chicago to Atlanta to hopefully help him change his life around at the age of 16, didn't go as planned. Sitting in jail talking through glass to his mother as he was facing 45 years in prison.  Kevin saw the hurt in his mothers eyes & told God if he got out of this he would change his life so his mom would never have to hurt because of him again!!
A true story of Redemption,  Kevin raised his son as a single father, who taught his son how to live a better life than Kevin had..

He is an author of a book called "A SELF MADE LIFE" which can be found at Barnes & Nobles
