Tyler with a group of students from the LSU Cru Fall Retreat.
My story starts off sad,” Tyler began as he stood up at Fall Retreat for LSU Cru to share how the Lord has worked in his life. Last February he found himself drunk, alone in his car, and crying. He was tired of the life he was living, the consequences of decisions he was making, and how his friends always choosing girls and alcohol over him. Tyler turned to God that night asking for help.
After hearing about Cru through our free t-shirt giveaways last year, Tyler came to a few Cru meetings, and even attended Winter Conference. Tim, a senior involved in Cru, initiated with him. After Tyler’s crisis, he began to meet regularly with Tim. They studied the Bible and talked about the Gospel. After meeting for a few weeks, Tyler began to make the Lord his first priority. He experienced a new depth of friendship with Tim and other men in Cru whom he now calls his best friends.
Because of what Christ has done for us and the way it has changed Tyler’s own life, he is eager to now share that with others! Just last week Tim and Tyler shared their faith with another student on campus. Tyler felt the courage to lead a conversation like this for the first time.
