"I felt like I'd hit a wall. I was like, 'Okay. I need to figure out what I need to do in my life,'" former teen actor, Kel Mitchell, told PEOPLE Magazine.

The All That and Kenan & Kel star hit quite the rough patch after his two Nickelodeon shows were taken off the air . According to his personal blog, Mitchell was heavily into drugs and alcohol, and at one point he even thought about taking his own life. "I have been through so many ups and downs in my life," he wrote. "Suicidal, divorce, drug and alcohol usage, deep in sin, dealing with the lost of love ones to gang violence, debt, hurt, pain, vanity, lust, heartbreak, feeling LOST looking for answers. I have seen, felt and been in all types of sin and have been done wrong by others."

It was then he decided to go back to church in an attempt to restore his faith. Today, the comedian/motivational speaker also works as a stage manager at a non-denominational Christian church in L.A. and has a new show on Nick entitled Game Shakers. "I was trying to figure it all out on my own. But what I needed to do was turn to Him," he stated. "Once I found that clarity with Christ, I knew everything would work out."
