πŸ“² Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video-description&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_term=na&utm_content=unlearned-wisdom In this video, we sat down with Danny to talk about how God changed his life. He grew up feeling neglected by his parents, and that led him down a path of lust that started when he was only eight years old. By the time he was 15, he already had a child, and he would go on to have 5 kids with 3 different women. His father was murdered, and Danny told me how that loss made him hate God for years. But through it all, he found forgiveness and a relationship with God.

πŸ“² Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw I spent many years in prison, and if I could give myself advice 20 years ago, here is what I would say. Stop trying to prove that you're strong, or that you're not broken, because that caused my own demise. I was scared to be myself, and I cared too much about what people thought of me. When you're broken, you think you've wasted your years, but God can use those years too. He takes everything that's broken and makes it beautiful again.
