The Pivotal Moment: A Fight that Changed Everything In this excerpt, Jonathan shares the life-changing moment he was involved in a fight that left his friend in a coma. Jonathan says, "I was involved in a fight. He wasn't in the fight, but I fell down, and he fell with me, knocking his neck on the sidewalk. He ended up in a coma for two days." This incident was a turning point for Jonathan, leading him to a path of self-reflection and transformation. The support from his church community played a crucial role in Jonathan's personal growth. After the incident, Jonathan gave his life to Christ and found hope and purpose within the church. "I got baptized at 12 after that fight. The first thing the church did is they gave me the chance to preach to the children," he shared. This opportunity to preach was a testament to the church's belief in his potential and their commitment to nurturing his growth. "That's why the local church helped me to see hope, to have hope. Not only to be a positive view of the future but to have actually hope and hope is the ability to make things for, make that future to happen," Jonathan explained.
