“I grew up with Christianity," he explained. "Always questioned it, but it worked at times. And then when I got on my own, I completely left it and I called myself agnostic. Tried a few spiritual things but didn't feel right. Then I called myself an atheist for a while, just kind of being rebellious. I wasn't really. But I kinda labeled myself that for a while. It felt punk rock enough.” Eventually, Brad found something to believe in. “And then I found myself coming back around to just belief in—I hate to use the word spirituality, but just a belief in that we're all connected.”
