    The Origin Story

    In my twenties, just after becoming a Christian, my support worker introduced me to a man at a community college. He was tall, short-haired, wore a shirt and tie. I don't know who he was or where he is now.

    He asked me: "What do you want to become?"

    I said: "Someone who helps people who've transformed their lives through storms to tell their story and know that they matter."

    He replied: "A consultant."

    I immediately said "No"—I wanted to be an artist.

    💡 But now I understand he saw something in me from the outside that I didn't see.

    That's the heart of True Circle and my hope for all participants.
