Changed dramatically

Keith’s story resonates because it’s real.

Rick Miller, principal of MAP Academy for at-risk students in Lebanon, Tennessee, explained, “They relate to him because he wears the scars of his abuse every day of his life and he doesn’t shoot them full of hot air. They immediately trust him.”

One high school girl’s life changed dramatically after connecting with Keith and his wife, Kelly.

“She became like a new kid. I watched her smile again and saw life coming back to her,” Miller says. “We might have lost her if they hadn’t come along the way they did.”

Keith’s scars, both visible and hidden, have become a source of credibility and connection.

“There are people who wear their scars all on the inside and you pass them every day,” he says. “I just happen to wear my scars on the inside and the outside.”
