From addiction and incarceration to becoming what he proudly calls a "heavy metal technician," Christopher Biddy's transformation story captures the essence of what happens when business owners prioritize kingdom impact over income.

Every morning, Christopher boards a bus from prison to Matt Walton's metal fabrication shop, where he's discovered not just employment, but purpose, dignity, and community. After nearly eleven years in the Nevada Department of Corrections, Christopher shares candidly about how his journey through addiction led him to "the bottom of the barrel" where survival meant compromising morals and making destructive choices.

What makes this story remarkable is the pathway to change. Christopher describes how transformation began with seemingly insignificant decisions – reducing profanity, avoiding negative music, picking up trash when he saw it. "Those little things," he explains, "they just started building me and building me." Through a transitional living program and support from Hope for Prisoners, Christopher gained technical skills and a renewed mindset. The world had changed dramatically during his incarceration – people "bowing to their neon gods" (smartphones) – requiring him to develop new approaches to social interaction.

Today, Christopher not only works with metal but also participates in "serve days" where he volunteers his time to help others. Though apprehensive about full reentry to society, he now possesses what he calls "weapons" for success: supportive relationships, marketable skills, and newfound faith. His powerful message to others facing similar struggles? "If I could do it, you could do it... The help is out there. You just got to apply yourself and throw yourself into it 100%."
