    Sean Tritt grew up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses starting at the age of eight. However, he was disfellowshipped at 21 and then embarked on a prodigal journey lasting over 15 years. During this period, Sean experienced the emptiness of living without God. This journey ultimately led him to develop deep compassion for those still trying to navigate life without faith.
