Nathan is the middle child of Absalom and Sally Pantages Gomez. He always had a heart for the Lord. He accepted Christ at the young age of 5 and hungered for more of Him. In the church that Nathan grew up in there was a prison ministry. He was inspired by the men’s testimony but grew weary because he felt how he could ever do anything exciting or powerful for God when all he had for a testimony was a bloodline of ministers and family who built churches. Nathan and his mom were very close. She mentored him and helped groom him to be the singer that he is today. She always told him to be careful what you pray for, because sometimes God will answer our prayers and we will not know for many years that it was the hand of GOD all along. His mother was a very wise woman.
At the age of 14 Nathan became very ill. Doctors could not diagnose his condition and he began to have petite mal seizures daily. This began to disrupt his life both at school and in ministry at church. He was beginning to have them while he taught Sunday School, sang special solos on Sundays, and during classes at school. For a teenager in the 80’s life was hard enough but for a kid who just wanted to serve the Lord it was devastating. Nathan turned to what he knew best and that was his God and music. He began to write songs from his poetry and journal. His mother and sister Melissa were very instrumental in helping him do so. From the ages of 14-18 there was no clear diagnosis of what was wrong. Finally at the age of 18 while in brain surgery doctors discovered that he had a brain tumor. The tumor was an oligodendroglioma and it had cancer on it. Six months later, he had a stroke after having another brain surgery that followed that. Nathan lost everything on his left side of his body.
Fast forward to December 2000. Nathan is 27 years old and celebrating 9 years since his first brain surgery. The actual date was December 3, 2000. The celebration was short lived because just 3 days later Nathan’s mom died suddenly without any notice. This was devastating to Nathan and crushed his spirit, mind and soul. He felt lost and broken for many, years and began to write more music and cling closer to GOD as a way to get through each and every day. Some days are still hard but Nathan knows that his mom is very proud of the music and the ministry he is trying to build with the life and testimony GOD has given him.
