So in my head I was like, okay, I'm gonna accept Christ in front of everybody right now.

Then I'm gonna go home and snort drugs until I don't want to do them anymore.

And that was my way of thinking.

So I received Christ at the church.

I went home, neglected my daughter and put her in front of the TV.

I remember I grabbed a hundred dollar bill.

I always used a hundred dollar bill for some reason.

Pride or something.

I chopped up my crystal meth.

Got it all smooth and powdery and I snorted a big old line

and I held the bill and I looked up and I said Jesus if you're real like that pastor said

Then you got to take these drugs from me come into my life come into my heart

and I just got quiet I said search me right now search my heart And I stayed silent

and I said you know I want to quit you know I want to be a good dad for this kid

She lost her mother to drugs and she's going to lose me if I don't quit.

Amen.

There's a high when you go on stage

and you see all these people like just loving your music and loving you and stuff.

And there's these girls and all these people going, worshiping me.

When you see all those people just going nuts for you, it's like, you know, it puffs you up inside.

You're like, you know, I'm important.

That's where drugs can creep in and, you know, cocaine or whatever.

Methamphetamines crept in.

It all came from after drinking for me and my friends.

And it seems like fun in the beginning.

It's alive because it turns around on you.

It starts to wear on your personality, starts to wear on your relationships, and everything is affected by it negatively.

Everything.

There was a few times where life seemed good.

My daughter, Jenea, she came into the world, and I was like, it was just such a euphoric feeling.

I thought my life could just feel like that forever, you know.

It was like a, it was spiritual, just, I didn't know what was happening.

I just felt so much love, just filled my emotions.

And I thought I was gonna be happy, but uh, I just couldn't, I couldn't stay sober.

I didn't know how.

I hit rock bottom.

I had swore that I would never do methamphetamines again because I saw what it did to my child's mother.

It just took her feelings away and made her leave her kid.

I just wanted her dead.

I wanted to kill her.

I thought she was a scum of the earth.

And, you know, how could she do drugs like that and let the drugs win her like that?

So I never was going to do meth again.

I ended up with an everyday crippling addiction to methamphetamine, and everything that I said about my ex-wife came true for me.

I sunk to the lowest gutter I could ever think of.

I would spend time with my kid, and I would still be on it, because I needed it to function.

I'd get up in the morning, have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and snort meth and then take her to school or whatever.

It was just, I was a junkie.

I started losing my mind.

This guy would show up at my house with like a gun and stuff.

And then I ran out in Europe, had my drug dealer just crazy send me drugs through the mail.

I'd be tweaked out in my hotel room watching this package come from the US.

It's just nuts.

My life was just like spinning out of control.

Jenea had come out on one of the tours in the US.

I just remember her skipping around the house singing one of our corn songs called Adidas.

All day I dream about sex.

And I'm like going, what am I doing?

I'm a junkie.

My daughter's singing all day I dream about sex and I'm gonna die.

Father?

My real estate broker Eric, he said, Brian, I don't mean to be weird with you.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I felt the scripture like jump out at me.

I've never done this before, you know, so I don't really know how to do this, but I felt like this would mean something to you.

It's Matthew 11, 28.

Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

I remember I'll tweet out, I looked up in the dictionary, weary, I looked up burdened, and I just pulled the scripture apart.

And I was like, I'm weary and burdened and I need rest for my soul.

And I didn't know if it was real, but they invited me to church a couple weeks later.

And I received Christ at the church.

I went home, neglected my daughter, got it all smooth and powdery.

Jesus, you got to take these drugs from me.

Search me right now.

Search my heart.

Father.

I felt so much fatherly love from heaven.

And it was like, I don't condemn you.

I love you.

It was just love, love.

And instantly, that love from God came into me.

It was so powerful that the next day I threw away all my drugs and I quit corn.

I was like, I'm quitting corn and I'm going to raise my kid because my kid, like I got the love from God coming to me and then it came out of me to my kid.

It changed me.

My heart was changed like that.

And I was like, Jenea, Daddy's gonna be home with you all the time.

I'm quitting my career.

And her face lit up and she's like, for me?

You know, she felt so special.

And God used her to save me, to save her life later on.

My dream came true way more than I dreamt about.

I made more money.

I played bigger shows.

I mean, houses, cars, I tried drugs, I tried sex, I tried everything to try to get pleasure out of this life.

And I thought

that I could fulfill my life with all this stuff by having my dream come true and it came true, but it didn't fulfill it.

When Christ came in, that feeling, he gives you the gift of understanding life,

which is everything was created for Christ and by him

and we're created to be with him and it's the most incredible feeling

100

because you're where you belong and contentment is given to you in life

101

because you don't have to look anywhere else

102

and you're exactly where you need to be and the question about life is answered.

103

I'm Brian Head Welts and I am second.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
