“My life before having a pure and authentic relationship with Jesus and engaging in a healthy community was a pretty sad and depressive life. I felt hopeless in many ways and depression and anxiety crippled my life and made me a slave to fear. After I allowed Jesus to come close to me and the Duluth Vineyard community come close to me and fully love me as I am, the inner transformation was almost instant. I felt free to be me and I felt the true me bubbling to the surface. The anxiety and depression melted away slowly but surely and Jesus started molding and shaping my life. My story of hope is something I could of never imagined happening to me, but I was wrong!”
