"It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt, to get to the point of having nothing, for me to finally realize, Hey, what are you fighting with this for? Until then, I hadn't claimed my faith as my own; I had just grown up with it"

In this quote, Scott Stapp assesses a turning point in his life where everything concerned a sudden stop. He had lost everything and was entrusted absolutely nothing. It remained in this moment of misery that he finally had an awareness - why was he fighting so hard for something that he had not truly claimed as his own? Up until then, Stapp had actually merely grown up with his faith, but he had never genuinely made it his own. This experience forced him to challenge his beliefs and eventually led him to a much deeper understanding and ownership of his faith.
