When characters in TV shows and movies become physically ill in public places, a concerned citizen sometimes asks, “Is there a doctor in the house?” Every now and then, the doctor in the crowd hesitates for various reasons.

Though he grew up in a faith-filled household, it had been years since he attended service. During his teenage years, he began associating with a crowd that had a negative impact on his life. By the time he was 18, he stood in front of a judge for sentencing for a theft charge that made jail time a possibility.
