He came home from a ministry trip to find his wife with her boss. He lost his marriage, his job, his platform, and half his time with his kids. An elder told him he'd never be allowed back in ministry because he was divorced.Then it got worse. His son came to live with him full-time with severe trauma and aggression, and Devin spent five years and over $100,000 trying to find help the system kept refusing to give. The pressure broke his body, not just his spirit. Doctors told him his nervous system was shutting down from stored trauma. They gave him three months.This is the conversation about what happened next, and what he learned about identity, story, and the programming most of us never question.The turning points are wild. The night he prayed to die and says Jesus walked into his room and told him "it's not time yet." The moment he chose a four-month healing process over the instant miracle he wanted. The realization that hiding his accomplishments wasn't humility, it was getting in the way.
