After growing up nominally Protestant and frequenting the African Methodist Episcopal Church,<ref name="trib" /> Gray has stated he owes his conversion to Catholicism through an encounter in 2004 with Jesus Christ who audibly spoke to him while he was in the process of attempting suicide, and then later attending a Catholic Mass, which eventually lead him to enter the Catholic Church in 2006, while still incarcerated (2004 - 2010) on charges related to embezzlement.<ref name="trib" /><ref name="anz" />
