Behind the scene is a real man struggling with his faith, battling addiction, and living with depression. The Bible quotes and the heart behind them are real.
The day I opened this channel was my first day of sobriety in a very long time. I made it to find my own way, and I hope it helps you too.
God bless everyone battling demons and hard times. #ProjectSavingGus
If this website or my YouTube channel never makes a single dollar but helps one life, it's worth everything to me.
This shop is part of that same fight. Every shirt is a reminder for the days the storm is loud: hold on to the cross, and win this one day. If you're fighting addiction, struggling in your marriage, or trying to hold a family together while staying sober, you're not alone.
Watch Project Saving GusJust Win Today
Win Today comes from the Bible. In Matthew 6:34, Jesus says not to worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. You don't have to win forever. You don't have to see the whole road. Just get through this one day.
Not forever
The fight is not "never again." It is this day, in front of you, right now.
Just this one day
Win Today keeps your eyes on this one day, not the whole road ahead.
Then do it again
Tomorrow it starts over. One more day, one more morning.
The friend who didn't give up on me
Behind the scenes of this channel is a real man, struggling with his faith, battling alcohol, and living with depression. I've been in that fight for a long time, and when my twin boys were diagnosed, my heart broke even more and the fight got harder. Through all of it, a dear friend and coworker stayed patient with me, even on the days I didn't make it easy. He made a song for me and brought it to life as an animation, and it became the very first song I put up when I started this YouTube channel. He sent me a second and a third after that. I haven't put those up, but each one meant more than he probably knows.
His name is Chief, and he's still making YouTube animations today. You can see his work at oneliferendered.com. I built this channel myself to find my own way, but Chief helped me in the ways that mattered most, and I'll always be grateful he didn't give up on me.
