The Crucible Project - Will's Story - Men's Weekend Experience - YouTube

You have to find a moment in your life where you have to man up.

You know no matter what's happened in your past you have to face that.

Not saying that's going to be roses, but you'll at least know what it is.

And then at that point it's your choice.

Well my name is Will Suppes. I'm 30 years  old, I live in Franklin, Tennessee.

Being the youngest of four was interesting dynamic in the family.

For me I had to be the jokester.

To always call attention in the house, because there was definitely plenty of that.

The relationship between me and my father was never good,  

Because there was things in my past

that happened that I always wanted to come to my  father and present to him and say,

you know, "Hey dad, how do I work through this?"

"How do I how do I get through this?" and I can never do that.

I could never present those to him and ask for guidance because

you know there's just things that stick with you.

Where I was more pissed off most of time being  around him in situations where I just wanted

more understanding, more connection, and more love from him.

To have my father say you're a f***ing mistake

is something that I will never ever forget.

I heard that over a few few separate times throughout my life which is

it really cut through the deepest part of who I was.

There was a point in my life where I did suffer  some sexual abuse. Not from anybody in the family  

But from somebody outside the family.

I had such a shame in such a weight on me already

from not having a connection specifically with  my father. So I couldn't necessarily bring that to them.

I couldn't bring that situation.

Because in my mind it was already my fault. I screwed up somehow.

Music is, I probably say it's everything for me.

And that's why we made the move from the Chicago area to the Nashville area.

I mean that was the big push we were my wife and I were both

in Chicago both in the corporate realm and we're  just had a day where I think was like a 14-hour  

day we sat across to each other on just dining  room table eating some dinner late at night were  

like there's got to be something more than this in life.

I thought about the idea and said,

"Let's try Nashville we love music we want to move south."

A good friend of mine had been through The Weekend  

and he had said to me because he had seen where  I was in my life and I was just struggling I mean  

day in and day out I just I couldn't connect with things.

and he had come to me graciously and said,

"This is something that I've gone through I think  you should at the very least investigate it for yourself."

So I did and just felt on my heart that this is something that I should attend.

I found that I was I was very significant and  that I was born with a purpose.

And yeah I had a lot of hurt in my life and I had a lot of pain, but I think for me is that I was able

to acknowledge what that pain was and to find

not only understanding, but

to find healing

After The Weekend it wasn't a hundred percent fixed.

That's a lie, but for me going through that weekend it started the healing process.

Whatever you've gone through, doesn't matter. That's who you are.

You know, God doesn't make mistakes!

Not by any means.

You know he may allow things in your life to happen that you don't understand.

But you're not a mistake, nobody is.

You we're created for a purpose.
