Brother Stephen D Holder shares his journey from growing up with a single mother in Buffalo to finding faith through his grandmother's influence and a transformative experience at Christian camp.

• Growing up with a single mother who had spiritual background but didn't regularly attend church
• Grandmother's pivotal role in introducing him to church at age 8, simply saying "it's time for you to start going"
• Finding spiritual connection at Camp Hunts in Hubbardsville, NY around age 15-16
• Wrestling with feeling "not ready" for baptism despite understanding the gospel
• Experiencing his "first sin" shortly after baptism by singing a worldly song
• Going through a difficult church split that tested his faith
• Drifting away during college years in a "prodigal son" period
• Being drawn back to church by his grandmother's unwavering commitment despite serious illness
• Learning that faith isn't about knowing everything but living authentically in way that draws others
