Brandon Nimmo rushed over to check on him after the play was over.
To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.

This is huge! Keep pushing, @FBIDirectorKash, it’s what we voted for! 🔥
This lawsuit is on behalf of a single person who walks in the vicinity of the White House once a month and expects to dislike the East Wing’s new design. The passing aesthetic gripe of a single person cannot possibly justify delaying the construction of a secure facility for the President to do his job.
.@JudicialWatch already cleaning up 6 million dirty names from the voter rolls. But I estimate about 24 million more names need to be cleaned from the rolls nationally. Our lawsuits won't stop.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PREACHES THE GOSPEL
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died. For all of us, it was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end. By any means, it was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great... It was the great miracle, I guess, right? The great miracle. He told his followers, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Because of the events of Holy Week twenty centuries ago, people from every nation, language, and background can take on any difficulty, press through any trial, and endure any hardship. With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's everlasting love.
I just informed dozens of TSA workers that @elonmusk offered to pay their salary during the Democrats Shutdown.
The whole terminal cheered. Passengers too.
Multiple TSA agents read the post live in disbelief.
One agent was so moved, he asked me to record this message to Elon…
🚨 BREAKING: Chuck Schumer is reportedly furious after Elon Musk said he’s willing to cover TSA salaries during the shutdown.
At the same time, Fetterman praised the move, calling it incredibly generous as agents struggle to get by.
He even pointed out he’s the only Democrat who voted to fully fund DHS and get people paid.
That tells you everything about where things stand right now.
Elon stepping up 🇺🇸
🚨 Greg Gutfeld: “The Democrats are seeking revenge for what? Was it closing our border or getting rid of fentanyl from our cities, exposing waste, fraud and abuse, destroying a foreign threat to our country, exposing the lie of trans athletes?”
