Initiated by an 800-mile move from the only home he'd ever known, he started warring in unforeseen ways: isolation at a Southern Baptist church and bullying at a Christian high school, all the while fiercely determined to conceal sexual secrets spanning his entire childhood. It wasn't until after college with a fresh start in a new state and two pivotal summer excursions that a foreign thread of redemption started spinning among the struggle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStruggle Central\u003c\/i\u003e tells the quarter-life quest of an introverted Christian's desperate cross-country search for purpose and belonging, both inside the Church and out.
