Interview with Sounds of Imani

Interview with Sounds of Imani

From the Motor City comes the heavenly Sounds of Imani. The husband-and-wife duo Drs. Gerald & Carol Ervin have brought a fresh sound to their music. Imani's mix of jazz, Christian, and R&B music has earned them a strong fan following and gospel music awards. The word "Imani" means" faith. It is the foundation of the music the band makes and the message they spread.


Imani has been bringing faith and music to Detroit and abroad since 1996. The music has helped uplift others. From their first mini-cd released in 1996, "Praises," to their upcoming EP release of "Holy is Thy Name" (2022), Imani is spreading their sound to those who need love and hope. When asked about what makes Imani's music unique, they responded: "Our music is unique because we are inspired to write lyrics for songs that touch the heart and soul of people. The songs we write come from our own heartfelt personal experiences, and we believe that factor makes our music reachable, receivable, and believable."


Imani continues to make music that is both creative and original and plans to grow its brand to generate multiple revenue streams. Their goal is to provide musical opportunities for indie artists to share their music to the nations through Imani's independently owned and licensed Right Now Praizz Radio and TV Network. Sounds of Imani is available for interviews and bookings.

Your But is Too Big interview with Maurice F. Martin

Your But is Too Big interview with Maurice F. Martin

MEET MAURICE F MARTIN

Maurice F Martin is a sought-after speaker, counselor, certified life coach, and the former co-host of the TV show “Getting The Word Out”. He is the co-host of the Grace Factor Podcast.  Maurice's second book, Your But I Too Big, was the #1 New Release in Christian Counseling and Christian Faith. Maurice’s true passion is shown in the combining of his writing, inspirational speaking, and his EMBRACE Method. He helps others to harness the power of today, love the moment they are in, and realize their purpose in order to live their best life.

In 2020, Maurice’s powerful video “Color Blind” was featured in the Youtube Original “Bear Witness, Take Action”, which has been viewed by over 5 million people.

Prior to becoming a speaker, Maurice made his name as an award-winning vocalist, songwriter, and manager for the group Winslow. Called "a soul-singing icon in waiting" by The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Maurice was voted "Cleveland's Best Vocalist" in the Cleveland Music Awards. With Winslow, Maurice shared the stage with such major music artists as Earth Wind & Fire, Lupe Fiasco, Incubus, and many more. As a songwriter, Maurice's compositions have been licensed to VH-1, MTV, The Discovery Channel, and E! Maurice's also co-wrote the theme song to ABC Cleveland's show "Dawgs on the Run."


Facing a crossroads, Maurice F. Martin chose a path less traveled, the life-changing journey of healing, growth, and purpose. His second book, Your But is Too Big: 7 Principles That Empower You To Heal Past Hurts and Get Motivated to Find Purpose was written to help you heal your past wounds, discover who you really are, and live a peaceful, purpose-driven life.

Maurice has been through his fair share of trauma - from masking the private pain of his childhood to battling depression in his 20s. After becoming an award-winning vocalist and songwriter, Maurice hit rock bottom and it became clear that there was only one way out: he had to let go of what had been holding him back. Now that he’s healed, Maurice is on a mission to equip and empower you to release your limiting beliefs and become the person you were born to be.

Maurice lives in Akron, Ohio with his wife and their two children.

INTERVIEW WITH NAOMI WATSON: AMAZING HEALTH

INTERVIEW WITH NAOMI WATSON: AMAZING HEALTH

Naomi Watson, an international speaker, is passionate about health and well-being. She enjoys working with motivated people who want to change their lifestyles to overcome or protect themselves from lifestyle diseases. Encountering cancer 15 years ago, Naomi chose to use natural adjunct therapies rather than chemotherapy and radiotherapy. On her quest to overcome health challenges and to gain a better life, Naomi now enjoys helping others transform themselves through whole-food nutrition. Encouraging her clients to eat fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs and through simple alternative healing modalities to feel tremendous and skyrocket their health!

Naomi recognizes that although the health principles are simple, they can only be able to implement with proper support. Having traveled to different countries to share her experiences, she observed people's eating habits and the availability of fruits and vegetables locally. She shares' how' to increase fruits and vegetables in our diet, which helps improve the nutritional value of our meals.

Naomi was a wife to her late husband, mother to two beautiful sons, and the primary carer for her late elderly parents. Here she learned to experiment and create healthy and tasty alternatives to their favorite foods using plant-based healthy ingredients; she appreciated her family's support in accepting her choice of nutrition. This has helped her to help children and adults to ease into healthy plant-based food in their daily lives to enjoy health.

Naomi trained and worked as a Management Accountant. Although she talked about health and lifestyle before her ordeal with cancer, she shares how individuals' responses changed after her recovery. She also noticed that although people agreed with what they should do, they were not doing it. That is when she started food demonstrations through which we could learn the simple and tasty ways of eating and enjoying a plant-based diet. She shares her vision of traveling and teaching this lifestyle to create fantastic health for those who want a more vibrant, abundant life.

Pastor Marsden Johnson Author of Mr. Alpha Male; Constuction of God-Valued Men

Pastor Marsden Johnson Author of Mr. Alpha Male; Constuction of God-Valued Men

Mr. Alpha Male is written primarily to model the Alpha of all times, Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega. The Lord Jesus led me to write this book because the alpha male status is slowly declining in our men.  This is a book written by me as an adult to my younger male mentality. What I needed to know when I was growing up?  Who else is this book design for? The Christian father wanting to clearly articulate to their sons the purpose for living. The single mother who needs help rearing her son towards the idea of a Christian man for society. This book is for the Man who needs to find the Alpha that is within himself.  In this book I articulate my journey, failures plus learning lessons that help sculpt me towards the Alpha Man I am today. You also will see other great Alpha men, their failures and their successes that defines who they are today. You will definitely understand what an alpha male is and how to overcome the negative stigmas. We were made to lead and to represent the best of God’s children in the Earth. It is important to understand that the root of all goodness starts at God.  Because God is the architect of all, it is imperative that as men we must refocus back to our original Alpha status. Jesus made it possible for us to see that through the examples and principles following him. Upon completion, you will be able to replicate the same Alpha status as the Lord Jesus.  This book is one of a three book series. I believe you will have the tools to change your mentality to strive for excellence above and beyond your expectations. I believe you will never be the same again from the principles you are about to receive in this book.  May your life ever be changed by reading this book. May the Lord open your eyes to truth and Revelation that will change your life forever while you are reading. May you be filled with new heights and depths that will revolutionize your family and environment in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!  Website: www.rlwgroupllc.com Order the Book at Amazon: Mr. Alpha Male

God's Response to the Unloved (Sermon and Service)

God's Response to the Unloved (Sermon and Service)

God's Response to the Unloved The 29 Chapter of Gensis in the Holy Scriptures:

Dr. Butler Speaking at St Paul Baptist Church in Lexington, South Carolina.

Leah and Rachel were sisters who were married to the same man. It kind of difficult to tell one story without the other.

When Jacob arrived in the land of his uncle Laban, he fell in love with Rachel the moment he saw her.

Because he was broke and could not afford the bride price, he agreed to work for Laban for 7 years. Sadly, Laban tricked Jacob by sending in Leah for the honeymoon instead of Rachel.

It almost seems as if the wedding happened with Rachel as the bride but in the night, Leah was sent in instead.

Nobody would know the difference since in Hebrew weddings, the bride wore a heavy veil and the festivities would continue until dark.

Needless to say, Jacob was less than pleased about the trickery of his uncle. Leah was now stuck with Jacob.

The following week, Jacob married Rachel. Throughout the marriage, Leah had many children and suffered much.

Let’s get into the details of Leah’s ordeal and the lessons we can learn from her life.

Interview with Crystal Smith about a collaboration "The Power of Perseverance" A Sisterhood Experience

Interview with Crystal Smith about a collaboration "The Power of Perseverance" A Sisterhood Experience

There is a saying, or so we’ve heard, that God gives His greatest battles to His strongest warriors.
Although it’s not written out in scripture, it’s been proven a truth that almost every warrior can attest to. The women of Zeta Alpha Psi Sisterhood have definitely experienced firsthand God’s hand concerning their lives, dreams, and life’s battles and trials. In this collection of testimonies, one can literally feel the power of God through each story. Through each trial and through each victory, one thing is for sure.
Had these women not remained persistent, who knows the possible fate of their dreams, desires, and aspirations? However, because they fought the good fight of faith, and stood strong concerning the promises of God, the Power of Persistence will be another monument and testament to how God MOVES.

A Lynching In South: Justice for Willie Leaphart Part 2

A Lynching In South: Justice for Willie Leaphart Part 2

Part 2: Justice for Willie Leaphart: My Interview is with Mike Burgess is the Lead Teacher for the Center for Law and Global Policy Development at River Bluff High School in Lexington, South Carolina. The Center for Law and Global Policy Development is a two-year program housed at River Bluff High School that is available to all Junior and Seniors of the five high schools in Lexington County School District One. The program focuses on leadership development and policy creation in the areas of law, politics, and foreign affairs. In June 2022, Mr. Burgess will have completed his 27th year as a public high school history teacher in South Carolina. Mike Burgess and his family have attended St. Stephens since January 2011. He is married to his college sweetheart Chrystal and has four children- Caylee, Jackson, Manning, and Madelyn who all attend, or have attended, Lexington County School District One schools. The Burgess family has participated in a variety of programs in the church life of St. Stephens. Currently, Burgess serves on Church Council. A lifelong American Revolution historian and resident of South Carolina, Mr. Burgess received the 2022 South Carolina VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award at a banquet in February. In 2014, Burgess was the South Carolina Sons of the American Revolution Teacher of the Year. Mr. Burgess received his BA in History from the University of South Carolina in 1993 and his MAT from the same university in 1995.

LEXINGTON — On May 5, 1890, a Black teenager named Willie Leaphart sat in a Lexington County cell waiting on a new trial ordered by the governor after evidence surfaced proving his innocence in the attempted rape of a White girl.

But the 17-year-old never had a chance to win his exoneration. An angry mob of 100 burst into the Main Street jail and poured dozens of bullets into him.

Leaphart had just become the county’s first recorded lynching victim. Ten more would follow through 1921.

It’s a story that likely would remain obscured if not for the efforts of Michael Burgess, a River Bluff High School history teacher who began digging into Leaphart’s fate in March after a student asked whether the county had ever had a lynching.

Since then, he’s given lectures on Leaphart’s story to community organizations and helped co-found a group, the Lexington County Truth and Reconciliation Collaboration, dedicated to accurately chronicling the area’s racially complex history.

The group wants to see a marker erected at the site of Leaphart’s murder, and Burgess hopes to eventually win him a pardon.

Burgess envisions town hall-style talks, cultural events and other education functions in the county of 300,000 — South Carolina’s sixth largest — with Leaphart’s death a springboard.

In the tale of Leaphart, Burgess saw a timely symbol of Lexington’s need for reconciliation and honesty in a period of turmoil and upheaval.

“What happened on this site has completely disappeared. It’s just not talked about,” Burgess said steps from where Leaphart was shot. A historical marker nearby describes the history and construction of the courthouse grounds.

“It’s hard to build a diverse, tolerant community when you haven’t engaged in the reality of the past. We’re losing the roots of our story,” Burgess said. “This community has ignored this and other pieces of history and there are still racial issues in Lexington, and the ability to begin to address those begins with accountability of the past.”

A Lynching in the South: Justice for Willie Leaphart Part 1

A Lynching in the South: Justice for Willie Leaphart Part 1

Part 1: Justice for Willie Leaphart: My Interview is with Mike Burgess is the Lead Teacher for the Center for Law and Global Policy Development at River Bluff High School in Lexington, South Carolina. The Center for Law and Global Policy Development is a two-year program housed at River Bluff High School that is available to all Junior and Seniors of the five high schools in Lexington County School District One. The program focuses on leadership development and policy creation in the areas of law, politics, and foreign affairs. In June 2022, Mr. Burgess will have completed his 27th year as a public high school history teacher in South Carolina. Mike Burgess and his family have attended St. Stephens since January 2011. He is married to his college sweetheart Chrystal and has four children- Caylee, Jackson, Manning, and Madelyn who all attend, or have attended, Lexington County School District One schools. The Burgess family has participated in a variety of programs in the church life of St. Stephens. Currently, Burgess serves on Church Council. A lifelong American Revolution historian and resident of South Carolina, Mr. Burgess received the 2022 South Carolina VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award at a banquet in February. In 2014, Burgess was the South Carolina Sons of the American Revolution Teacher of the Year. Mr. Burgess received his BA in History from the University of South Carolina in 1993 and his MAT from the same university in 1995.

LEXINGTON — On May 5, 1890, a Black teenager named Willie Leaphart sat in a Lexington County cell waiting on a new trial ordered by the governor after evidence surfaced proving his innocence in the attempted rape of a White girl.

But the 17-year-old never had a chance to win his exoneration. An angry mob of 100 burst into the Main Street jail and poured dozens of bullets into him.

Leaphart had just become the county’s first recorded lynching victim. Ten more would follow through 1921.

It’s a story that likely would remain obscured if not for the efforts of Michael Burgess, a River Bluff High School history teacher who began digging into Leaphart’s fate in March after a student asked whether the county had ever had a lynching.

Since then, he’s given lectures on Leaphart’s story to community organizations and helped co-found a group, the Lexington County Truth and Reconciliation Collaboration, dedicated to accurately chronicling the area’s racially complex history.

Randy Newton: Author of Growing Up Milledgeville

Randy Newton: Author of Growing Up Milledgeville

Randy Newton: In the Bible Belt, musicians have quite a range — from rap to soul to country — and the variety of characters brings the charm and southern grit out during each performance.
Listening to a local musician tells stories is very similar to listening to a band that made it big. Talking to people pursuing their dreams, one hears stories of triumph, growth and heartache — stories that transcend local boundaries and the radio waves.
For a lot of musicians, church brought out their musical roots. And for one storyteller, Randy Newton, church was just the start for him.
At 13, Newton was given a guitar and ever since, his heart has belonged to the song. Growing up in the area, his stories range from local dive bars to restaurants playing, singing and dancing along with multiple bands he has been a part of over the years.
“I grew up at a place called the Twilight Restaurant,” Newton said. “Everybody had their first beer and their first kiss at the Twilight. It opened up in the late ‘40s, but it hit the big time in like ’59. It had 25 curb hops, sold 60 cases of beer a night on the curb. In the middle of the curb was a patio, on the backside of this thing was a two-story building that had glass. They turned records. People that were down on the dance floor could look up and say, ‘play Fats Domino,’ or something like that. And they turned records and there was a speaker at all four corners.”
Twilight was the place. Whether after Friday night football games or for a date night, it was the joint for music.
Newton credits the restaurant for truly giving him his love of music.
“In the kitchen were the cooks,” he said. “Jessie Hamilton, who worked for us from age 15 to age 39 was like my big brother, and he was playing the radio and it was always the soul music … and I fell in love with all the black music. On the jukebox and on the curb, they, of course, were playing all the popular music.”
From soul to pop — locals danced the night away in the ‘60s at Twilight, but several other local spots were growing in popularity as well.
“Swampland, this place that for 27 years was the longest-running show of its type in Toomsboro. Every Saturday night, local bands would come and play and it was the place to be for everybody in Middle Georgia,” Newton said.
At the Swampland, Newton recalled, everybody who was somebody was there — politicians, reporters, everybody who was somebody was there.
Newton has been a part of several bands, each making a name for itself locally and each coming with its own stories.
“We had played every song we knew, twice,” Newton recalled about a performance with one of his bands. “The place was standing up — nobody would leave. We did one song three times. Me and my wife’s big hit was ‘Good Hearted Woman,’ Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, it was a big hit back then and me and her did that song the third time, the place was totally insane. I got chill bumps just thinking about it now.”

Tammy Erste From Broken to Victory

 Tammy Jean Erste, and I am 47 years old.

· I have a Catholic church family background but became a non-denominational churchgoer as a young teen.

· Although I cannot remember the exact moment I gave my life to Christ, I know I became a believer at a young age.

· I come from a broken and dysfunctional home where I incurred a lot of abuse – mental, physical, emotional, and sexual.

· I have worked odd jobs and as a restaurant server most of my life.

· I had always enjoyed school and learning and desired to get my bachelor’s degree many years ago.

· It was during the time of pursuing my bachelor’s that a seed was planted to attend seminary.

· God led me to seminary to open the eyes of my heart and help me to understand the good news and what the Gospel was truly all about.

· It was during this time God started to deal with me and my past.

I received a master’s degree in Biblical Studies from Grand Rapids Theological      Seminary in December 2020. My husband Matt and I just celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary. My husband is just a snapshot of God’s grace towards me, and I am not sure where I would be today without him coming into my life. We are a blended family with 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and 3 fur babies. I am working on writing my first book and have started a blog as a way to begin sharing my testimony and journey with others in hopes to lead others to faith in Jesus Christ.

Kathryn May Author of "Behind Enemy Lies: Deception and a Journey From Darkness to Light"

Kathryn May Author of "Behind Enemy Lies: Deception and a Journey From Darkness to Light"

About the Author: When God knit me together in my mother’s womb, I believe He added a little extra tenacity and a whole lot of resilience. He knew I’d need it to fight and overcome the battles my life would face. Since I was a little girl there has been an attack on my voice. As a small child I practiced screaming to prepare for the next time I would face my abuser, but when the time came, I couldn’t open my mouth. As I grew, life beat the desire to speak up right out of me. I believed I was damaged goods waiting to be discarded by the next person that came along. The pain of the past marked me. Even when I believe I had something to say, I usually kept quiet for fear it would lead to more pain. Rejection, abandonment, loss of love…

In my mid-twenties God set me up to meet a series of women, I call checkpoint people, who over the course of a decade would each teach me a different facet of God’s character. One would share God the Son, Jesus Christ. Another would reveal God the Spirit and my identity in Christ. Lastly one of my beautiful mentors would show me the love of God the Father that would ultimately lead me to trust God and accept my position as a daughter of the King.

Through the years of learning who I was created to be, I discovered the courage to find freedom from a life of abuse. My hearts cry was to be whole, healed, and healthy which led me to ferociously go after the healing my mind and heart so desperately needed. I was determined to be free from the pain of the past. In doing so I’ve discovered a new way to live. I’ve found peace that is not of this world (John 14:27).

It is now my mission to speak up and comfort others with the same comfort I was comforted with. To encourage women to uncover the lies of the enemy and discover who they were created to be. To walk as daughters who are healed and healthy inside-out. I’m here to tell you sister, if He did it for me, He will do it for you and not only is He able, but He wants to.


I now get to do life with my best friend, and the love of my life, James. I am also a mother to three incredible world changers who keep me on my toes and constantly striving to be better. I am a Certified Mental Health Coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors and run a YouTube channel aimed at encouraging women to be the healthiest versions of themselves, inside and out. I promised God if He gave me His words, I would give Him my voice. Here I am Lord, send me…


I have been in ministry for ten years, advocating for women to discover the truth of who they are in Christ. I am a certified mental health coach and desire to help others overcome the pain of the past and live with peace and freedom.

About her Book: Imagine believing you were sentenced to a life of isolation, fear, rejection, pain, and loneliness. That there was nothing beyond the darkness of the prison you'd been thrown into. This was how Kathryn lived most of her life. Held captive by the lie that what was done to her defined who she was, until she heard the voice of God calling her out. This is one woman's story of escaping a life of abuse, breaking free from the lies that bound her, punching fear in the face, and discovering her true identity. Through her memoir, Kathryn reminds us that no matter how painful our journey is, God desires us to live in freedom. We have the opportunity to live fully aware of our identity in Christ. Kathryn shares personal revelations and biblical principles that led her to the truth of who she was made to be. Truth...that is the same for you.

The Case Against Hate Part 1 of a 9 part series.

Genesis 29:21-30New International Version

21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.”22 So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast. 23 But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her. 24 And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?”26 Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one. 27 Finish this daughter’s bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.”28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 29 Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant. 30 Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.

Dr. Michaela O'Donnell: Author of "Make Work Matter, Your Guide to Meaningful Work in a Changing World"

Dr. Michaela O'Donnell: Author of "Make Work Matter, Your Guide to Meaningful Work in a Changing World"

Executive director of Fuller Seminary’s De Pree Center for, Leadership, Michaela O’Donnell helps readers pursue

meaningful work that will forge inspiring transformation in the world. People are sent into a new world of work with old, outdated tools, expectations, and strategies. This leaves them ill-equipped in finding meaningful work that will make an impact in their communities. The result? Unmet expectations, unfulfilled longings, and a curiosity about how to do the work they sense God is calling them to. Built from research on exemplars who excel at navigating the unknown and filled with stories and insights from faithful entrepreneurs, Make Work Matter (Baker Books, Oct. 2021), teaches readers to:

• discover what God is calling them to do in a changing world

• define where they are in this season of work

• embrace what the Bible says (and doesn't say) about calling

• develop a mindset and habits suited for the new world of work

• reflect on and work out ways that sustain them on the journey

This book will close the gap between what people are doing now and the meaningful work they desire to accomplish. It is the solution to help people chart their way forward!

Michaela O'Donnell, PhD, is executive director of FullerSeminary’s De Pree Center for Leadership. She is an entrepreneur, a teacher, and a sought-after speaker and consultant who regularly presents on the topics of vocation, career, and leadership to religious, secular, academic, and lay audiences.

Dr. Butler: The Response: The Cost Of The BIG LIE

Major Correction in the response. The Host said 22 Million was spent but it is 220 million that has been spent in recounts and donations to change the will of the people. Approximately 2.1 million Presidential votes were cast in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and accounts for most of the state’s population. In recent years, younger voters and people of color have turned the county’s electorate increasingly Democratic—a shift that helped Biden win the traditionally conservative state, by 10,457 votes. Since the election, the county has become a focus of ire for Trump and his supporters. By March, when Logan’s company was hired, the county had already undergone four election audits, all of which upheld the outcome. Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican and a former Trump ally, had certified Biden’s victory. But Trump’s core supporters were not assuaged.

Richard Capreola: The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse,

Richard Capreola: The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse,

Richard Capriola, substance abuse counselor and author of the book The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse, says that during his time working with adolescents, he noticed that a lot of parents were surprised at the extent of their child’s use of substances.

Unfortunately, they misinterpret the signals they’re seeing and they tend to write it off as just being some type of developmental issue. They get trapped into thinking this is just some crazy teenage behavior that’s going on and it’ll pass. And then later, they find out it wasn’t quite the case.

Don’t just assume it’s normal adolescent development. Pay attention to any changes you see in the child’s appearance, behavior, and attitude. Those can all be warning signs that maybe something’s going on underneath the surface which you need to investigate a little bit deeper.

Seek the Underlying Issue

There’s a much better chance of moving adolescents away from alcohol or drug use if parents can identify and address the underlying issue that’s driving the child to use alcohol or drugs.

Once you’re able to move the discussion away from focusing on alcohol and drug abuse, you’re opening the door for them to talk about what’s really troubling them and the real reason they’re using alcohol and drugs. And so, you move the conversation to get at the core issue.

It’s a Team Effort

As much as addiction affects the child, it also affects the entire family system so the family needs treatment as well. And this is where social work comes into play.

Dealing with adolescent substance abuse in your family all becomes a team effort because there are a lot of issues involved that go beyond just substance use.

Rob Brown Author of "Truest Fan"

Rob Brown Author of "Truest Fan"

Hello, my name is Rob Brown. My career has been in the financial services industry as a top-producing advisor followed by senior leadership roles. Now, I’m a business coach who helps my clients achieve excellence while living more purpose-filled lives  Over the course of my career, I have discovered that a large part of my success has come through the active encouragement of others. I love cheering on family, friends, colleagues and clients.

This book, Truest Fan, distills ways of acting and thinking to perform at your highest level. You follow the story of seven fictional characters that each convey a lesson you can put into practice. Just as in baseball, before you reach the major leagues, you have to learn the basics. This book focuses your attention on what matters in your life – be it a spouse, business, colleagues, or kids. Many people lose years of their life because of the intensity of urgent to-do’s and distractions we all face.

Truest Fan strips back the facade. It helps you consider what your life would be like if you were purposely living each day as your own Truest Fan. What would your life be like if you swing for the fences in each relationship, each project, and each goal? Then, what would that be like if you focused a pro mindset and effort on being a Truest Fan to those around you.

It might amaze you to find that you begin winning more games.  And along the way you enjoy the journey a whole lot more too!

Thank you!

From a Truest Fan.

Sylvia Harris: For Your Glory: New Music and interview.

Sylvia Harris: For Your Glory: New Music and interview.

Sylvia Harris is a gospel recording artist, producer, and songwriter who is best known for her command of the stage and her ability to capture any audience as she sings under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Her career began with local performances in her hometown of Houston, TX and she has since branched out to cities all over the country becoming highly sought after as more and more fellow artists and fans experience the power of God through her ministry. She has been recognized by Earnest Pugh, Greg O’Quinn, and she currently performs with Grammy Award Winning composer and performer, Kurt Karr at The Fountain of Praise Church on the first Sunday of every month.
Sylvia’s talent was discovered at the tender age of four. She was born into a musical family and consistently encouraged to use her voice, initially for youth Sundays and sunshine band, and eventually in various groups and choirs throughout the Church of God In Christ (COGIC). Her earliest memory of performing was singing “Rough Side of the Mountain” as her grandmother, the church musician, played the piano. She has since honed her skills and developed a unique style and sound all her own through inspiration from the Holy Spirit and the infusion of her many musical influences which include the likes of The Winans, Whitney Houston, The Clark Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Commissioned, New Edition, and Tina Turner to name a few.
Throughout the course of her career, she has been featured on various choir projects as well as released her own music. Following her first concert in April 2015, she released her first single, “Saints in Praise (For Your Glory Lord)” in May of 2015. In July of 2018, Sylvia released her second single entitled “No Ground”, in July of 2018. Since her humble beginning, Sylvia has also expanded the reach of her ministry to include churches and houses of worship of various denominations and cultural backgrounds, also appearing on various platforms outside the church walls including Juanita Bynum (At 3 with Me), Fox 26 News Morning Show, and Bush IAH United Airlines Black History Diversity Programs, and many others.
Sylvia is an energetic and anointed artist whose mission is to share the love of Jesus with the world, and extend the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Jesus Christ to every person she encounters. She was recently signed to Archafella Records in early 2021 and new music is in the works. Contact guest at :

Part II Tales of a Child Solider

Part II Tales of a Child Solider

Like many others in Australia who are concerned about the plight of refugees I was happy to read that the town of Toowoomba welcomed the very first family to arrive from Sudan with open arms. I could only imagine at the difficulty they had adjusting to life in Australia, but hoped they would find new peaceful lives here. But we have all come to learn that the scars and trauma from growing up in a war torn country can follow people to their new land, and some have difficulty coping with this. As Ayik Chut says himself in this interview, he was fine for the first year here and then things began to unravel for him as the horrors of his time as a child soldier in the Sudanese Army began to catch up with him. He covers a little in this interview of what transpired but the most amazing part of his story we didn’t get to in the interview- that of his career in film and TV! Ayik has worked alongside stars such as Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba, and appeared in a number of TV series such as ‘Safe Harbour’ . He is now the father of two children and a proud Australian. You can purchase his book on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Boy-Tales-child-soldier-ebook/dp/B07Z76HQRP/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+lost+boy+Ayik+CHut+Deng&qid=1587957982&s=books&sr=1-1

RODERICK EDWARDS AUTHOR OF: THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF BLACK PEOPLE, Part 2

PART 2: Part 2 of the 2 part series, resumes a friendly yet pointed discussion of black history, black present, and black future; not just out of Africa but into America, Asia, and Australia. This is the continuing conversation between author Roderick Edwards and host Dr. Butler as they explore all sides of issues often too taboo to broach, yet in a friendly and mature way. More at rodericke.com
Roderick Edwards is the author of over 10 books, available in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. His works are multi-genre and cover everything from fiction, to biographies, philosophy, and even hypothetical government overthrow, to books on race, politics, and culture.
The book promotion is for THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF BLACK PEOPLE: A Realistic Assessment
The book explores the history of Africa and its interactions with other cultures. It examines the plight and success of people of color. It does not merely focus on oppression and discrimination as if that is all for which “black people” should be known, but rather the book paints a more realistic picture of history AND the future trajectory of black people.

Erik Allen My Witness,My Story

Erik Allen My Witness,My Story

Erik is truly a man of integrity, work ethic and an overcomer. Growing up with a complicated childhood and broken home, to raising himself from the age of 14. Unfortunately finding trouble along the way desperately trying to fill the gaping voids in his life. As a young man Erik found himself empty and tired of settling for less. After the feverish pursuit of the Holy Spirit, Erik decided to surrender and trust the one that would never let him down.

Once Erik gave his life to Christ, his life completely turned around. He met a beautiful woman and a new chapter was written.

Now, Erik and his wife of 16+ years and their two children live in Northern Idaho and live a humble and blessed life. Together they are breaking the cycles handed down to them of addictions, depression, abuse, and lies. They are leaving a new legacy for their next generation built on a biblical foundation.

Along with being the sole provider for his family, Erik is an entrepreneur and avid MMA fan. Which he has created the best MMA podcast of the northwest. He believes in giving back and honoring those that have served our country. With his companies Top Rated MMA and The Erik Allen Show he is able to do just that. By lifting others up and giving back to the community and veterans through great organizations like Hire Heroes USA.

Another one of the ways Erik is able to give back is by sharing his story and encouraging others, no matter what path they are on to find hope and purpose. Erik’s natural approach ability and heart for people make him a great speaker for different events and podcasts. He knows that sometimes having the opportunity to meet someone and hear their story and how they’ve overcome is the courage someone might need to find new strength in their own battle.

Erik might have been dealt a rough hand, but with the help of his Heavenly Father and a humble heart, Erik is taking each day as it comes and making it count.

Genesis Kemp is a Creative Content Writer, Author, Self-Development Advocate, Visionary, Inclusion and Diversity enthusiast, and a Firecracker a force to be reckoned with.

Genesis is a woman of color who said, “Enough is enough,” and is now bolder than ever. She tried to remain quiet, but that didn’t work because no change occurred. Today, she is readapting to the current times and making some life-changing decisions. She is stepping outside of her comfort zone by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and refusing to let limitations placed on her keep her down.

Genesis sees herself as a visionary and a woman who will go on to do great things that empower others to speak up for themselves. Yes, it may be hard; yes, it may hurt. In the long run, she desires to encourage others to help those who may not have a voice. She is a trailblazer who wants others to live out their dreams, goals, and visions.

Meridith Alexander: THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

UNLOCK THE TOOLS TO ELEVATE YOUR GAME PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY WHILE IGNITING YOUR PASSION.
If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed because you know that you are ready to see some powerful positive changes in your life but you’re having trouble getting results on your own, top mindset life coach Meridith Alexander and G.R.I.T. Mindset Academy make it possible to get the top mindset and career strategies no matter where you are located.
Whether your desire is to go further in the corporate world, reinvent yourself in a new direction or launch a business that gives you the fulfillment that you crave, providing you the missing link to go from “wishing for change” to creating change is our unwavering promise to you!

Top inspirational speaker and GRIT and resilience expert Meridith Alexander’s book that started it all! How the crushing blow from a random boulder taught this Mother/Daughter team not how to face death but how to choose to fully live. A journey of inspiration and discovery like no other. On February 19, 2016, Meridith’s youngest daughter Schuyler, a recent graduate from Yale, was crushed while traveling in Colombia, South America. The doctors weren’t sure that they could keep her alive long enough for Meridith to get down there. On that plane, Meridith realized that she had to make a decision. She could let those circumstances define her forever as “the mother of a child that was crushed by a boulder” — or she could dig deep within herself and become the reluctant hero that her daughter needed right then. Described as a “must-read if you want to become the best version of yourself”, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT became the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon in the motivational category the night that it was released. This book captures the actual posts that have inspired readers all around the world.

Dr. Ja’ net Bishop and Ariel Marin: Panel Discussion the Joy of Living Healthy

Dr. Bishop and Ariel Marin: Panel Discussion the Joy of Living Healthy sponsors www.tradeacademypro.com Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products, and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines.


What Types of Vegetarian Are There?

Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating or to the diet itself. That is, the word vegan can be an adjective used to describe a food item, as in, "This curry is vegan", or, it can be used as a noun, as in, "Vegans like cookies, too."

Beyond Just Food
Although there is some debate as to whether certain foods, such as honey, fit into a vegan diet, if you are cooking for other vegans, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid these foods or ask your guests. Most vegans extend the definition of veganism to go beyond just food. Vegans will also likely avoid the use of all personal and household products tested on animals and avoid purchasing and using all animal-derived, non-food products, such as leather, fur, and wool. There is some debate as to whether second-hand animal products, such as a leather jacket from a thrift store, can be included in a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle or not.

Natalie Vecchione: Host of “FASD Hope”

Natalie Vecchione: Host of “FASD Hope”

Natalie Vecchione is an FASD parent advocate, homeschooler, podcaster, but MOST importantly... a wife and mom! Natalie and her husband, John, adopted both our son and daughter via domestic adoption. They began homeschooling  7 years ago, when they noticed how many accommodations their son needed (who was later diagnosed with an FASD). Their son finally received an FASD diagnosis when he was 15, when he was also hospitalized for Bipolar Disorder...and it was one of the darkest times of her life as a mom. In those dark times, the Lord used her brokenness and filled her with the Holy Spirit to use her journey to become a parent advocate and help other families not to feel as alone as she had on her journey. Natalie began advocating for FASD by being a peer support mentor, co-facilitating a parent support group and she was selected to participate in the 2019 North Carolina Exceptional Parent Leadership Conference. She certified in Mental Health First Aid and she has also been a Board- Certified, Music Therapist for 25 years. Recently, Natalie volunteered as a board member and social media coordinator for several North Carolina nonprofits. In April  2020, Natalie began her new adventure in the world of podcasting through producing and hosting podcasts about FASD.... and she became a "Mom on a Mission with a Microphone". In October 2020, Natalie and her husband co-founded their own podcast, website and ministry -  “FASD Hope”. The mission of FASD Hope is to provide awareness, information and inspiration to people whose lives have been touched by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Natalie & her family lives in the farm country of North Carolina (US) with their 6 year-old daughter (who began homeschooling last year) and almost 19 year-old son (who graduated from homeschooling and he is now proudly working part time as a carpentry apprentice and studying online in  computer coding / part time). Natalie is thrilled to begin this new adventure of FASD Hope and the “FASD Hope” podcast series and share awareness, information and inspiration about FASD and serving the Lord through their mission / ministry. natalie@fasdhope.com http://www.fasdhope.com/ Instagram - @fasdhope Facebook - @fasdhope1 Pinterest- @fasdhope1 Clubhouse - @natalievecc https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fasd-hope/id1534406836

Sarah Geringer: Transforming Your Thought Life

Subscribe at https://anchor.fm/Momentsofgrace


Do you know you can deepen your relationship with God through meditation? It’s one of the essential spiritual disciplines that can help you get more out of your Bible study and strengthen your faith.

I began meditating on God’s Word when I bought a One Year Bible back in 2003. The editors of that edition put one verse in bold in each daily reading. I read the passage in the morning and spent a few minutes reflecting on the bold verse. It stuck with me throughout the day.

God started using those bold verses to build a deeper relationship between he and I. I started understanding how God saw me, which was so different from how I saw myself. By focusing on a verse of his Word for just a few minutes per day, my trust in him grew, and the Scripture began transforming my thinking.

There is a lower nature in every person. The reality is we only need the right ignitor to light the fuse. In Heaven 1/3 of heaven went to war and in America 1/3 of Americans are ready to go to war following the 45 president of the United States of America. It is the same spirit and the same mentality. As the Republican party and the world watch one of the oddest  personalities since Mussolini lie, cheat and steal for 4 years and attempt a soft coup.
