WDJD: One of the most significant moment in my Christian walk happened in Nov. 2006. That year the Lord begin to work on my heart, to make a long story short, one night after reading Romans Chapters 6 & 7, I felt the need to be baptize again. So the time came for me to be baptize again, I was standing there in a tub full of water thinking to my self, why is my heart so hard and cold? I remember the feeling of wanting to be baptize, but deep down inside I did want to. As several of us was standing there praying, my mother started reading Mark 11:1-3, while she was reading that my heart begin to crumble. In that moment I realized how I could not fathom God’s love for me, even though I was not responsive to God’s love and to his invitation, He still humbly says that, He need’s me (Mark 11:3) and that He wants me, He wants to have a relationship w/ me. So that night the Lord got a hold of my heart, and I am a new man! Praise God!!

WDJD: I came to know the Lord on the last night of Creation Fest 1999. I was ten years old. I've been raised in a Christian family my whole life and I've always gone to church, but this one night I decided I wanted to live for Jesus. This took place at a music festival of all places, hahaha. I was listening to a speaker by the name of David Nasser. Things just clicked and I knew what I had to do. I received the Lord and gave it all to him.

Favorite Scripture: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
WDJD:
When I began working on the new album, I started questioning the foundation of my belief to find out what I was really all about. The truth was, even though I knew about Jesus and his love for me, I never had a personal relationship with Him. I finally came to the realization that my selfish pride was the thing that kept me from entering into His presence. I have begun this journey to live my life fully for God and to surrender myself daily into His will for me. I love you Lord! Thank You for loving me.
