Danny was the son of a Pastor, living in the south before he was uprooted by his parents' relocation to the Pacific Northwest. At the age of 14, he was faced with the culture shock of public school, after being home-schooled his entire life. He would resort to alcohol and drugs to make friends in a new environment. Danny dropped out of school at the age of 15 and left home to live on the streets and from crack house to crack house. He was the victim of sexual abuse and became a drug addict at the end of his rope.After lying on the floor with a needle in his arm, syringe dangling, he realized this would be his legacy and how people would remember him. It was that realization that lead to him checking into a rehabilitation facility, where he would eventually get clean and sober. He is now the founder and CEO of Rock Bottom Hope. This ministry is a resource for people in the same situation Danny was in long ago. They provide a safe environment for people to be heard and for addicts to find sobriety and counseling.

QUOTE:

“I learned in my military training as a US Navy Air Rescue Swimmer, that panic kills, so I did what I needed to do to force that panicky feeling out and focus on taking one more step forward. I knew that there was a 99.99% chance I wasn’t going to survive, but I never let that thought cross my mind.”

“I can tell you that there are two things that got me down the mountain: faith and focus. 

Focus is ironic since I couldn’t see a thing. I was completely blind, but I knew what I needed to do to get down. I had to fight off panic and dig deep to find grit and resilience and to do whatever it took to take one more step forward. 

Faith. I reached a point where I couldn’t go on anymore and I surrendered to God. He was there the entire time, waiting for me to get out of my own way and rely on Him. “

WHERE WOULD YOUR FAITH BE IF YOU HADN’T LOST YOUR SIGHT THAT DAY?

LIFE VERSE:

““Be still, and know that I am God.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭

CLOSE:

“Living at altitude is far from glorious. It’s a suffer fest and it takes everything you have to figure out a reason to take one more step forward. But eventually—if you can get out of your mind and push through with continued resilience—you’ll take those final steps and reach the top of the world”

MANY PEOPLE LIVE A LIFE OF SUFFERING: 

“For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭

“A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭

“Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ ‭

“Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭
