About this listen
Nine Black men have paved the way for you to see that you can successfully reach your desired objective, level, or goal through effort, skill, hard work, and courage. Take this journey and engage in topics ranging from how to become and serve as a historical role model for today's young Black men to identifying your true source of hope that will propel you to grow. When life throws seemingly insurmountable obstacles your way, it is important to remember that many have come before you, and many are coming after you who need your story to help encourage them. Being treated unfairly and unjustly does not determine your success in life. What you have a passion for will propel you to accomplish your purpose if you don't give up or remain in fear.
Identify ways to develop your innermost desires and goals, because you are a living model to someone who aspires to be just like you. Younger brothers are going to do exactly what you do in an attempt to be like you. Are you making decisions you want them to imitate? If they made the same choices that you are making, would you be proud of them? Explore ways to enhance your life and those who are following in your footsteps. This book will challenge you to grow into a stronger, more emboldened version of yourself. We need you to lead, and I look forward to taking this enlightening journey with you through the words I have to share.

Christianity is facing great opposition. No one is being thrown to the lions, but many followers of Christ face persecution because of their beliefs. At the very least, most know how it feels to end up on the wrong side of a politically correct conversation. More than ever before, we need believing and behaving disciples, men and women who are ready to stand up and stand together to change the world as early Christians did: one righteous choice at a time.

Story5 out of 5 stars 70
Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning his love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like his life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love, and supernaturally responsive to evil with good.

It's time to stop trying to be the perfect mom. You long to be the mom your kids need, but often you're convinced you come up short. The label "not enough" seems to be stamped across everything you do - and yet parenting is the one thing you want most to get right. What if the solution is simply to embrace the truth that you are not enough - but God is?

Imagine a life in which we literally believe God and take him at his word, one in which we let the trials and tribulations that hit us roll off our backs. We look at those trials as a “life college” and learn everything we can through them. We get better, not bitter. When relationships fail, instead of looking at them as our personal failures, we believe rejection is God’s protection and that he wanted the people out of our lives. The points in this book are all about perception shifts - learning how to take the bad and shift it for our good.

If God can take David - the invisible eighth son of a forgotten family - and turn him into a king, just imagine what magnificent plans He has for redeeming your life. David was born a number eight - a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued by everyone except for God. For David, being a number eight seemed like a curse until the day God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honored king of Israel. Even when you're an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the scenes to develop you into a king or queen.

We live in an era of low expectations. In fact, we tend to celebrate low expectations. The way in which we choose to live and work today is a far cry from the purposeful living of our parents. Have we reached the point in our society where it is more important to look good rather than be good? This book reacquaints listeners with the wisdom - the common sense that was practiced simply and unwittingly by those who represent a generation gone by: a generation that worked hard without complaining; a generation that did whatever was necessary to support their families....
