Notes: 
Born in 1984, father is a mason, mother in the medical field

Moved around a lot, hard to make friends. Skinny, shy introverted, bullied

Developed quite an anger problem. 

Luis Palau crusade, altar call, inability to NOT go forward, tremendous weight lifted

Most of childhood had a fear of going to sleep at night, night terrors

Inception night terrors, Used to have esoteric thoughts, what if I wake up and discover I've just been dreaming

After his salvation experience he loved going to sleep at night

The anger problem significantly dissipated

Had no plans of going to college, Terrible in school. Picked up playing guitar at 14 maybe. Dad in a southern rock tribute band

Girl's parents were the youth group leaders

Upstate NY

Criminology: Why people commit crime

JBP Biblical Series

Sarah

Youth Advocate Program YAP

Devereaux: youth with developmental disabilities

Youth detention facility: pay better, corruption better

You want to become that kind of person who can speak at a tragic funeral

 

 the strong person at the funeral

Almost always experienced my life in the third person

My mom prayed for me my whole life

Superficial differences are causing intense, real, physical damage

The deeper I go, the less satisfying it is. The further I go, the colder and colder it gets

The world doesn't need you setting them right. The world needs to get reconciled with Jesus

Needs to accept the reconciliation offered to them.
