Shepherd Branch grew up in a Christian Church since he was 3 weeks old. Quickly, he learned how to play the part and look like a “good religious man”. Especially with living in the shadow of an influential older brother, Shepherd felt the pressure to have it all together. This act became even more convincing, not only to others but to himself, when he compared himself to his peers. He saw their actions as “bad” and thought he was living in a more godly light since nothing he did was seen in public. It took a man that consistently met with Shepherd to shake him from his distorted reality and said to him, “Shep, you don’t look like you’re doing okay”.
