Josh Marcengill: Unexpectedly Waking Up To Peace (S3:Ep97)

Childhood for Joshua was rough. His family was poor and lived on the beach. His dad contracted HIV, was ostracized, and attempted suicide multiple times until he succeeded. Many others in the area committed suicide also. Josh's brother killed himself 4 years later. The church his grandma took him to when he was young only preached hell fire so he found no comfort there, and started a decent into atheism. Josh worked hard to make a way for himself financially but the stress was profound. He says he ended up "having everything but nothing mattered." When he could stand it no longer he attempted suicide himself. As he took the actions to end his life he asked God "if you are real, let me die." Joshua says he did in a way - he woke up to a miraculous peace, and the panic riddled Josh was gone. This was just the beginning of his journey into intimate encounters with Jesus and what he does today to help others.
