Little did he know, God was chasing him even harder than the gang. After falling in love, and having children, Tyler decided to leave gang life behind—and everything immediately got more difficult. Planning to take his own life, a miraculous encounter turned everything around. In this powerful episode of The Aggressive Life with Brian Tome, Tyler shares his incredibly aggressive story of pursuing, and being pursued by, a God who never gives up on us.
