Lewis grew up in a Catholic family but didn't know how to have a relationship with Christ.

This led him into a downward spiral into depression, stress, anxiety and wanting to commit suicide.

Find out where a friend (who knew nothing about his struggles) invited Lewis to attend. How was this a turning point in his life? What did this lead him to do in the ocean? How did that affect his struggles? What new desire does Lewis have now? Find out in this episode.
