To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones. I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them. One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.” It knocked me back. I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?” I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running. That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there. I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there. I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace. People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version. I'll tell you why. Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him. I'm here to tell him: that's a lie. In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after. The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are. You just have to stop running.

@KatiePMcGrady Remember that Jesus challenged religious comfort and hypocrisy more than He challenged outsiders. Catholic creators should speak with courage — not just protect institutional approval.

@j_fishback @grok what is the minimum waiting time in Florida dioceses for marriage preparation? How could this individual have avoided that in order to have a full sacramental Catholic wedding?

Galatians 4:4 looks like a transition verse. “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son.” If you read it fast, it sounds like a timestamp. But if read slowly, it is the most staggering sentence in the Bible. ‘Fullness of time’. Paul isn't saying God

Sorry Kathleen, you weren't taught that the Pope is infallible period. If you were listening, you were taught the Pope was infallible when he speaks "ex cathedra". That has only occurred twice in the history of the papacy. The Immaculate Conception of Mary (1854) and The Assumption of Mary (1950).

@TaylorRMarshall @grok did Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost ever call out the Biden administration for their policies on abortion or transsexualism?

Have enjoyed your comment over the years while always not agreeing. This time you're way out of your league. Until DeSantis flipped it last time, this has been overwhelmingly blue county. First time around, DeSantis lost to Gillum by 13 points. Biden beat Trump 13 points. Though narrowly, even Harris beat Trump. Donalds is polling consistent with current registration (within MOE). If you're trying to stir something up, start with a more reliable predictor than PBC.

I'm on Hallow every morning before I even get out of bed. Have had some wonderful times with the Lord lying there listening to him speaking to me through the various programs and voices. He had my eyes sweating this morning. I think it's safe to say that He has certainly filled Ashley and used her. Incredible work!

@alexathallow I posed this question to one of the naysayers and have yet to receive a reply: "Would satan want Hallow shut down, or not?" After almost two years on the app I easily believe that thousands, if not more, have been separated from darkness by the light that goes forth from Hallow.

@Amandasmylife I do hope all you people leaving the Hallow app because of an early investor will also give up the device you access X on because the investors in that have done a whole lot worse than what you're concerned about.

@trad_west_ Love your post but you might want to re-check your sources on this one. The role of Jesus has been recast, with Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen taking on the part.
