Before Generation Distinct, I was living with one foot in the world and one foot in God. I didn't know what my purpose was. And if I even had a purpose, I didn't think that God would ever be able to use my story for His glory. I had Christian friends who believed that it was ok to show up to church hungover on a Sunday and I started to believe that lie for myself.

It wasn't until I finally dove into the community of Generation Distinct and started the program that I started to find so many different passions that I didn't even know existed. But, I found them through Generation Distinct.

Some of these passions involved me getting fully involved with our students ministry at my local church. I was a students leader for a year and I just saw how passionate I was about people who were in middle school and high school ages because that's the age where I started to turn away from the Lord. I also started a podcast and I started my own marketing agency and I just launched all these passions that I didn't even know I could even do on my own.

But I had people like Hannah and Aaron and Michael and Patrick, which were the mentors of my cohort, who believed in me more than I could ever believe in myself. Now, I get to share with amazing friends about this program and I've had friends do this program and they just feel exactly the same about because they have also been able to dive deeper into their visions and have visions that they didn't even know they could create in their minds.

It has just been so special and I'm so passionate about Generation Distinct because of how much it's transformed my life. I know it's going to impact millions more and I can't wait to live to see the day.
