How Losing His Son Led To A Living Room Encounter
- Corey shared the traumatic loss of his nine‑month‑old son in 2013 and the multi‑year aftermath that nearly broke his marriage.
- He recounts a 2016 living‑room encounter where Jesus asked to shepherd him, leading to a six‑month sabbatical and renewal.
Street Conversion Broke A Destructive Trajectory
- Corey described his radical 1997 conversion after near‑death from drug use: a friend's deliverance, a violent spiritual confrontation, and a street‑side surrender where he yelled 'Jesus' and was instantly delivered.
- He credits that moment with immediate freedom from a lethal meth trajectory and an intense season of Bible reading and prayer.
Tithe Your Time With A Morning Prayer First Fruit
- Give first fruits of your time to God by setting an early, regular prayer window and prioritizing presence over lists.
