In this podcast episode Shawn Rae joins me all the way from Colorado Springs, CO. Shawn grew up on the outskirts of Chicago in various neighboring suburbs. From a child he begins to experience pain and trauma at the hands of an abusive step father. At the age of nine he is already running away from home. He ends up in the streets hanging out with young men who come from similar home structures. He catches a criminal case as a teenager, serves some time and gets released into a halfway house in one of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods at that time, Pilsen. This just cements him deeper into the gang & streetlife.
Crime, drug addiction and violence follow him no matter what state he moves to. His grandmother would tell him, "Everywhere you go, there you are."
A change of scenery could never change his life. But there was someone who could and did. Tune in to hear what happened one day when he found himself alone and high in a abandoned building crying out to God.
