Episode description as stored
📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://download.coreoftheheart.com/spotify-uw
I grew up in a strict Christian home, but by my teens I was deep in gang life, and it landed me in prison with two felonies. When I became a Christian, I hid my tattoos and chased a title in the church so I could feel good enough. Trying to earn my way to God gave me panic attacks so bad, I begged doctors to scan my brain for a tumor. It got so dark I had thoughts of taking my own life. Then I heard one message about salvation, and for the first time, all that anxiety finally left.
