Marion Stallings grew up in a Christian household in Augusta, Georgia, and strived to be a “good” person but feeling an underlying emptiness due to his performance-based theology. In college, this void deepened until a new roommate introduced him to a Bible study led by Corey Gill, where he seriously engaged with Scripture for the first time. Realizing the depth of sin and his need for salvation, he turned to Christ in a moment of sincere prayer and commitment.
