It is turning my will over to God and saying, 'You know, God, I'm going to wait on you. I know that you are good. I can't fix myself. I can't transform myself. That's what God does.'
Ever felt like your prayers were hitting a wall? Tony's story might resonate with you. Growing up in Minneapolis, Tony faced early challenges like his father's absence and financial struggles. These hardships shaped his perception of God, making him feel abandoned and unheard, despite attending church regularly.

He not only found hope and purpose but also became a house manager at Redemption House, guiding others on their recovery journeys. His story is a testament to the power of faith, honesty, and surrendering one's will to God.
