no other families or whatnot, but I felt like, well, I'm going to church and praying for what I didn't have faith. So like now as an adult and you know, me exploring the word on my own, I feel better. I feel like, I feel like I understand it more. So I'm just, I feel like I'm just in a better place overall with that.

They do. Do you feel like it's a blocking of a blessing because you don't ask the question or you don't get the answer? Because at some point you really don't know what you...

Yeah. I was at a point in my life where everything was off. Everything. I'm talking about health. Full blood pressure meds. I was over 430 pounds. I wasn't 40 yet. Relationships with family. Watch that video, brother. Relationships, like family, friends, and these women, like nothing was ever working. Investments worked, nothing worked. I went through like a two year period of that.

And I was like, I had to sit down and check myself. Like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And when I really sat down and like locked myself in that room and had to face myself, It's all on me. You can't listen. Nobody can help you but you. So I had to dig deep. I'm still getting out of it, but it's like I'm at a space where I'm all right. I know what caused it. I know how to get out of it.

Well, see, I grew up in the DC area. So church wasn't, it wasn't pushed into church, but you know, family, we had a family church that we would always go, you know, Easter and stuff like that. I had a church in my neighborhood that me and my friends would, we took it upon ourselves to go to as we was younger, when we was younger. So singing the choir then and stuff like that. But as I got older,

And I moved to Atlanta, I think it was 2005. So around 2005, 2006, I got baptized again as an adult. So it was a great experience. I started learning more, getting back into it. But I'm in the entertainment business. And I'm in the thick of it. I'm on tour. I'm on the road. I'm traveling, drinking, smoking. So I kind of lost myself. I got to a point where I needed to center.

I felt like the only place I can do that is with God in church. And as I started to do that, things started disappearing on my life. Things started getting better. The problems I was having was gone.
