Fifteen years ago, he was attending a heavy metal concert and in a blinding flash of light, he knew that God existed, and that he had drifted away from God.
This year, he was able to share his conversion story on a heavy metal radio station. Fr. Fletcher says that the experience was an "eerie trip down memory lane" as he walked the halls of the radio station filled with posters of bands he used to listen to. Given the fact that he sees his moving away from this lifestyle as a positive, I was struck by his next statement.
Remembering where we came from gives glory to God.
In this case, "where we came from" was not a positive place. But, as Father Fletcher says, it can give glory to God because it shows how far we have come with His help.
Don't despair your past. See your progress.

I really like conversion stories.
They are such a deep testimony of how God can love and transform us if we ever decide to let Him make his way.
Together with martyrdom, conversions are so visible signatures of God.
Conversions, martyrdom and miracles.
