Drew was a linebacker who treated church like a chore and kept God at arm's length. He was confident, busy, and always told himself he'd get serious about his faith later.

Then on September 23rd, he collapsed at football practice. After being rushed to the hospital and spending the night in and out of consciousness — barely able to speak, shaking uncontrollably, his mom singing worship songs at his bedside — doctors told him the truth: if he hadn't come in that night, he likely would have died in his sleep from kidney failure.
That was the moment everything changed.

In this powerful testimony, Drew shares how a near-death experience woke up a sleeping faith, led him to a Christ-centered community at Second Baptist Church, and ended with him sharing his story publicly and getting baptized on stage at Fall Riot.

"Live for Christ now. It's not something to push off."
