Hey, I’m Shane.
I’m not here to play church games or drop shallow clichés. I’ve been through real darkness—addiction, trauma, rejection, and a lot of wrestling with God. My stepfather was a violent alcoholic cop who introduced me to porn when I was 12. That moment split something inside me, and for years, it controlled me.
But Jesus broke through all of it.
I’m not perfect. I still battle. But Christ saved me—really saved me. He didn’t just clean me up; He walked with me through the fire, exposed every lie I believed, and called me to speak truth. I’m here now as a watchman—wounded, yes—but awake, redeemed, and still standing.
> “I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut...”
—Revelation 3:8
I believe the Holy Spirit opens doors in all kinds of places—not just churches or conferences, but even forums like this one. If you're here, maybe it's for a reason. Maybe you're wrestling too. Maybe you’ve been silent too long. Maybe you're just trying to hold onto your faith in a world that keeps trying to steal it.
So here’s the deal:
Ask me anything. Seriously.
Ask about trauma, addiction, deliverance, marriage, creativity, music, spiritual warfare, what it means to follow Christ when everything falls apart—whatever’s real to you.
> “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony...”
—Revelation 12:11
I’m not here to impress anybody. Just to be honest.
This is the door the Holy Spirit opened, and I’m walking through it.
Let’s talk.
