Speaking engagements with youth, community organizations, and churches sharing real life experience about reconciliation and hope, teaching that no matter how much pain you feel, or how lost, or alone you may find yourself there is hope to be had in grace, forgiveness, and faith. We teach that with these gifts, you can be restored and live a life that does not share in the cycles of sin, crime, and abandonment. All this is shared through compelling real life stories that capture the attention of youth.
