This is the most honest and emotional conversation I’ve ever had with my mother.

In this exclusive sit-down, my mom opens up about the addiction that shaped the beginning of my life—an addiction that nearly took both of our lives the day I was born.
While she was giving birth to me, she was battling cocaine addiction and undiagnosed walking pneumonia… and we were both dying in the hospital. But God stepped in.

In this interview, she shares:
• What really happened in the hospital the day I was born
• How addiction took control of her life
• The moment she realized she might lose me forever
• Why I was placed in foster care
• How my aunt and uncle stepped in and raised me as their own
• The depression, the suicidal thoughts, and the fallout of a broken 14-year marriage
• The turning point—when she knew she had to get clean
• How I became the reason she fought for her life
• The healing that came years later, and what our relationship looks like now

This is a story of addiction, redemption, second chances, and a mother’s love that refused to quit.
Thank you for watching something this deeply personal.

Last year, Stephan Lester dropped a message that shook the internet: “Don’t play with God’s daughters.” Over 100,000 views later, we had to bring him back for another raw, unfiltered conversation.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to date as a believer in today’s culture, the weight of emotional accountability, how men and women can honor each other in relationships, and the spiritual consequences of playing with hearts God designed with purpose.

Whether you’re single, dating, or waiting on God—this is for you.
