Whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Where I Started
God bless you friend. My name is Shane Alec.
Since 2007, I have been a passionate Christian musician, using my creativity to share the gospel and spread God’s message through music. My life was radically transformed when God delivered me from addiction, setting me on a new path of faith and purpose.
From that moment on, I dedicated myself to both music and ministry, seeking every opportunity to preach the gospel and inspire others through my testimony. After years of refining my craft as a recording artist, I felt God leading me to expand my reach. In January 2023, I took my journey online, believing that through this platform, I could connect with more people, share the gospel, and help others grow—both spiritually and musically.
It wasn’t easy growing up
I grew up in Prince George, a small town in central British Columbia, Canada, where I live today.
In high school I got into drugs and partying early on and unfortunately I was unable to graduate by 2002.
I carried on without high school and just got employment wherever I could. There was a price to drugs and drinking and that was my only motivation to work.
So for about 5 years between 2002-2007, I blindly bumped my way through life between jobs and house parties every week.
It seemed like every year that passed, things got more and more severe. I went from drinking to smoking, from marijuana to cocaine, from cocaine to methamphetamines
Long story short, this life style landed me in the hospital.
How I got saved
On April 13,2007 while attending a house party in Prince George, some friends and I planned to take ecstasy and party through the night.
Somewhere around 20-30 min after taking the drugs, I knew something was wrong. I began to blackout sporadically and it felt like my body was completely out of control.
The blackouts got so severe that I ended up going unconscious and an ambulance had to be called.
When I went unconscious God came to me. I was judged and punished for every sin I committed in my life. There was no escape. The punishment and horror in endured seemed to last for an eternity.
Regaining consciousness, I found my friends were freaking out and carrying me to the front door. I blacked out again, and the vision resumed.
I woke up again sitting on a curb with my friend, blacked out again, and the vision resumed. Then I came to in an ambulance.
This time, when I blacked out, I could still hear everything around me. I heard the paramedics speaking to me, their voices urgent as they tried to get a response. Then, I heard them mention administering a shot of something. Moments later, the sharp, distinct sound of the defibrillator filled the air as they shocked my heart.
I lost all consciousness at that point.
I saw a vision of myself in a hospital bed. My mom was standing by my bed crying along with others from my family. At that point I thought I was dead for sure because I was seeing but not able to interact with them
I finally woke up for real.
A nurse came and explained to me what happened. She told me about the ambulance ride and the efforts that were made by the paramedics. She told me I suffered and cardiac arrest and the drugs I took would’ve killed me if I didn’t get medical attention.
I was discharged from the hospital the next day.
I was never the same
Needless to say, I quit drinking and drugs.
I started reading the Bible and going to church regularly. It was there that I met my wife whom I dated for about 4 years before we married in 2012.
Around that time I got a job driving a haul truck for a gold mine in central British Columbia.
From 2007-2023 I pursued Christianity, and excelled at my job. It was the best decision I ever made. I learned the value of pursuing integrity and personal improvement.
I was so unsure of myself growing up and this feeling only got worse in the bad years. But after waking up in that hospital I realized the value of what I had.
Music became a passion I pursued with everything I had. With my wife at my side, we attended church meetings where I met other musicians with similar passions. I started recording and writing music after buying all the necessary equipment.
Through my Christian years I’ve learned to value the life you have, and have learned to lift others up whenever you can.
Where I am now
In 2018, through a career in mining, I bought a house in Prince George.
Since then, I have left my job mining to pursue a career in Indigenous Social Work.
In 2023 I found a new passion I never knew was there: Writing about the bible and exploring the world of online outreach.
I’m excited about this pursuit, realizing I have no idea what I’m doing, but ready to blaze a trail regardless. Like I said, life is too short to be wasted.
If you actually read this far, I hope you decide to subscribe and join the blog, where I will be writing about the Christian walk and everything that comes with it.
Take care and I hope to talk with you soon.
God Bless.
