Speaker 4: next week, actually next week Friday. Work has been you know,
Speaker 4: a little taxing, a little lot of driving. But as
Speaker 4: you were, but I enjoyed the driving because it gives
Speaker 4: me time to think sometimes when I just have things
Speaker 4: on my mind more than anything. I think you remember
Speaker 4: we did the episode of grief. Yeah, I'm going through
Speaker 4: that stag I'm going through those stages right now. I'm
Speaker 4: still I'm still I'm not even gonna lie. I'm still
Speaker 4: struggling trying to I gotta get to talk to somebody.
Speaker 4: I've been reaching. I have to reach out to somebody.
Speaker 4: See if I get them to talk to me, I'll
Speaker 4: get to talk to them. But just you know, honestly,
Speaker 4: still really for my brother's death. It's not been easy
Speaker 4: and just putting my family in general, because we're all
Speaker 4: really my brother, my sisters, you know, it's just all
Speaker 4: just like leaning on each other right now. So this
Speaker 4: week is kind of like that was kind of like
Speaker 4: just checking up on everybody, making sure everybody is okay,
Speaker 4: just talking, you know. So that's kind of my wee
Speaker 4: kind of went this week. My week is kind of more, Yeah,
Speaker 4: just trying to just trying to breathe and me and
Speaker 4: get through get through the weekend. It was just one
Speaker 4: of those weeks we just need to try to get
Speaker 4: through the weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you can get on to the life,
Speaker 3: it would be good to see your face as well,
Speaker 3: so if you can come on. I know you have
Speaker 3: an Instagram handle as well, so hope only if you
Speaker 3: can so I can see you.
Speaker 5: Because I have you on my Instagram.
Speaker 4: Maybe so, but I think it may be maybe going
Speaker 4: from my speaker to your to my speakers, I can't
Speaker 4: have it on.
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on because we don't necessarily have to do this.
Speaker 3: Let's see. I can take the zoom off for now
Speaker 3: and then you can. You can come on here, So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna invite you. Okay, technology fantastic, it's amazing, fantastic.
Speaker 3: I can hear you, but I'm saying I'm inviting you
Speaker 3: onto the live so we can see you. Can you
Speaker 3: come on? You know what.
Speaker 1: He said, he's already well technology, welcome, welcome, Thank.
Speaker 3: You for tops. Can we say that a radio?
Speaker 1: Well wait, talking talking point?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, all right, fine, fair enough. I will leave
Speaker 3: you on zoom, but I just want to say say
Speaker 3: hi to those who are tuned in and were joining via. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I know. I like that about you. If
Speaker 3: you're you're very honest to pedule, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: But thank you for sharing. In fact, we're doing this month,
Speaker 3: we're going to be talking to our men about our
Speaker 3: men and the issues that they face. And so we've
Speaker 3: got a couple other programs coming up. If you are
Speaker 3: familiar with the Adventist Radio London, please please get connected
Speaker 3: so you can hear those conversations and we'll try to
Speaker 3: carry them live as well. But we're just going to
Speaker 3: have a panel of men discussing issues from health to
Speaker 3: wealth to relationship and just kind of understanding where they're at.
Speaker 3: Because we know the statistics are scary, we know the
Speaker 3: figures are dismal, and we know that we've got to
Speaker 3: be there for our men. We've got to be there
Speaker 3: for each other. Man, woman, boy, girl. I mean, listen,
Speaker 3: this thing doesn't discriminate, but when you share just now
Speaker 3: that you are looking out to connect with someone and
Speaker 3: seek support, that's a critical move. A lot of our
Speaker 3: men's suffer in silence. A lot of our men suffer quietly,
Speaker 3: shamefully and just feel that it's not appropriate. They're too
Speaker 3: much or too too manly to seek support. And I'm
Speaker 3: glad that you're championing that cause and you're seeking the
Speaker 3: support that you believe you need. And you know what,
Speaker 3: it's never wasted. If you connect with someone and you
Speaker 3: get the support that you need, then that's absolutely the
Speaker 3: most essential.
Speaker 5: Here's the funny thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's that because I'm not prideful. I'm
Speaker 4: very transparent. I think I'm afraid. I'm afraid come up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I be honest, that's what.
Speaker 5: That's the type of thinking what anything is.
Speaker 4: We start talking and then finding out more things that
Speaker 4: are on my head that I just didn't realize.
Speaker 5: And I think that's the scariest part.
Speaker 3: It's like opening respos isn't it.
Speaker 4: You don't realize what you what you're really feeling, because you.
Speaker 5: Know, I can say I just I really feel it.
Speaker 4: Then you start talking to somebody and then you start realizing, oh,
Speaker 4: that wasn't it at all, and then it just opens
Speaker 4: up a whole another faction that now you have to
Speaker 4: deal with, and that could be a scary proposition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate that. I know what you mean. As
Speaker 3: I said, it's like opening a Pandora's box and you're
Speaker 3: not sure what you're going to get through, what you're
Speaker 3: going to get to, because sometimes what's happening in the past,
Speaker 3: what happened in our childhood. It's all connected and it
Speaker 3: all causes our issues later on in life. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I know there are several issues. Even for myself. I've
Speaker 3: had experience with that. There's several issues why we don't
Speaker 3: get support. Whatever the issues are, know that you can
Speaker 3: and you should seek support that you need. So thank
Speaker 3: you very much better for raising that. And you know
Speaker 3: you're in our heart and prayers as a team. I
Speaker 3: think we're family at this point exactly.
Speaker 5: People don't understand the whey we talk to each other.
Speaker 3: I know we need to share some of the because
Speaker 3: I keep saying we need to recorder the conversations we
Speaker 3: have behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: You know what, if I could just step down, I
Speaker 1: want to say you know first I'm hearing from you.
Speaker 1: I'm here. I go by the name doctor you love
Speaker 1: motivated because I love every human being more than I
Speaker 1: love animals. That sounds bad, right, A lot of people
Speaker 1: love love animals a lot more than they love humans.
Speaker 1: A conversation, I want to tell you, whether I hear you,
Speaker 1: I know I'm just this kind of guy, spirit led,
Speaker 1: so I just want to share with you. Grief is
Speaker 1: a real journey. I lost my sister at the age
Speaker 1: of forty two.
Speaker 4: She was.
Speaker 1: Through COVID four years ago and it really shook the motivator.
Speaker 1: And I'm coming out. I'm coming out even stronger and wise.
Speaker 1: Just so trust the process. That's what I will give
Speaker 1: to you. Trust the process of it and believe that
Speaker 1: you can make it through it. And yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1: You said you need somebody. I'm here, man. That's all
Speaker 1: I want to put out there today.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: There we go. The journey has started. You know what.
Speaker 3: Before we go any further, and I know, doctor G
Speaker 3: you're itching to get in and we want to get
Speaker 3: you talking, let's just have a word of prayer. The
Speaker 3: Only Father. We thank you once again for the opportunity
Speaker 3: to have these meaningful conversations. I know some of it
Speaker 3: may be sensitive. I know some of it may be triggering,
Speaker 3: but we know that all things work together for your good.
Speaker 3: Bless the technology. We've got a lot of things going
Speaker 3: on at the moment. We're on YouTube, we're on Instagram.
Speaker 8: We're on zoom.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, we're live on radio. So it's all happening.
Speaker 3: But I know that you can make it work perfectly
Speaker 3: to your name's honor and gory in Jesus name, we pray, Amen,
Speaker 3: and good to have you guys joined in. Please stay
Speaker 3: for the conversation. It's gonna get real, it's going to
Speaker 3: get raw, and I know it's going to help. I
Speaker 3: know it's going to help somebody. And for me, I've
Speaker 3: said it all the time. Doctor. You may have heard
Speaker 3: me say it to you because we've had a live previously.
Speaker 3: But if it's just one person, I beat that drum
Speaker 3: all the time. If it is just one person that
Speaker 3: we pull from the weeds, we pull from the ledge,
Speaker 3: then these conversations are.
Speaker 1: Well worth it.
Speaker 3: So let's jump in. Excuse the pun, let's get going,
Speaker 3: and let's talk to you about your story. I know
Speaker 3: you've got a number of books on the table, so
Speaker 3: we're gonna say that first and foremost. He's an author,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, listeners, friends, and he's brought some of
Speaker 3: his books with him. So which one's first? Which which
Speaker 3: one was the.
Speaker 1: Let me just say thank you so much for having
Speaker 1: me in the studio, And I'm grateful. I gotta start
Speaker 1: with gratitude, indeed, because you know, every time I look
Speaker 1: back on how I started, for those people who have
Speaker 1: a gift inside of you. Some of you have gifts
Speaker 1: that you're thinking about. God has touched you with the
Speaker 1: ability to sing. I was one of those guys that
Speaker 1: knew God gave me a gift, and it was a
Speaker 1: gift that from the very beginning, going to school days,
Speaker 1: it didn't seem that it would have taken me to
Speaker 1: the point where I'm at because they say you chat
Speaker 1: too much, you know, teachers, you know. So it was
Speaker 1: something that now I look back when I'm getting paid
Speaker 1: to speak, when I'm getting booked to speak, when I'm
Speaker 1: now publishing books. It's it's a journey. So you know,
Speaker 1: I'm grateful. Even now you say influencer, I didn't start
Speaker 1: out with that in mind. I'll be honest. I did
Speaker 1: not start out with influencer in mind. I just started
Speaker 1: out from a broken heart. That's where I started from.
Speaker 1: And I was awakened because I understood that, you know,
Speaker 1: if I went through what I went through, or loving
Speaker 1: somebody the way I did, giving my heart to them
Speaker 1: on my soul, engaged to be married, planning wedding excitement,
Speaker 1: somebody out there has went through a broken heart just
Speaker 1: like me. And all I remember here, God tell me
Speaker 1: son tell your story. And that's how we started fifteen
Speaker 1: years ago, two thousand and nine, when I really grabbed
Speaker 1: the whold of it. And now you say it, now
Speaker 1: you say book. So the first book I want to present,
Speaker 1: I've actually changed the title.
Speaker 3: Still.
Speaker 1: This is the book that my mom says the best one.
Speaker 1: It's actually called The Perfect Love Triangle. The reason because
Speaker 1: you know, relationships for me was my thing. That's where
Speaker 1: I started out, trying to give okay, if you say
Speaker 1: you love someone, you should love someone. And somewhere down
Speaker 1: the line, God say, son, the triangle thing got some
Speaker 1: issues with certain people, but God came up with love me,
Speaker 1: Love you love me. So I'm yet to relaunch that book.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to show you the big one is there.
Speaker 1: And then the next one got say tell your story.
Speaker 1: So I wrote Masterpiece. So Masterpiece is my story and
Speaker 1: it's unfinished because the story has evolved so much where
Speaker 1: it is. And then I thought about personal development and
Speaker 1: helping people with their lives and stuff. For God said,
Speaker 1: give them something to writing, so I wrote Victory. And
Speaker 1: this one is a work book really supposed to but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why he's supposed to be. And then my baby,
Speaker 1: my baby. I call it dreams. I believe if I
Speaker 1: ask you, I don't want to be those, but as
Speaker 1: what comes first, the dream of it or the idea,
Speaker 1: And I love people say the idea, but earlier I
Speaker 1: believe it's the dream. I believe it's the dream. I
Speaker 1: can give my feelingsphy behind it because but the baby
Speaker 1: in your hand, yes, cold, that's where we are, b
Speaker 1: you Love you. Was born in February this year, literally
Speaker 1: after doing a life with a gentleman and he was
Speaker 1: I was saying, I'm done, and I published the books
Speaker 1: I've you know, I'm done, no more books than me, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't need to write any more books. I've done
Speaker 1: for those people you didn't influences. But as a motivational speaker,
Speaker 1: a keynote speaker, doing what I do, empowering people, you know,
Speaker 1: to speak something and teach it, I've got to eat it.
Speaker 1: But then I heard the voice saying to me, son,
Speaker 1: you need to tell them exactly what's important in finding himself.
Speaker 1: And that's what the book's about, finding who you are
Speaker 1: and knowing where you are and what you've been through,
Speaker 1: especially we're going through COVID, and that's where the book
Speaker 1: actually was born because you know, being you and loving
Speaker 1: you is the key to live in your best life
Speaker 1: and living the dreams that guy that has given to you.
Speaker 3: Well, I love all the titles. I'm glad that you've
Speaker 3: offered me this one. It's going to be signed, sealed
Speaker 3: and delivered personal, personal edition, perfect and I will have
Speaker 3: a good look through it. When I was trying to
Speaker 3: get because when we're doing programs with thoughts, we normally
Speaker 3: try to get a handle on the book so we
Speaker 3: can have a good read and understand where we're talking from.
Speaker 3: I couldn't get a hold of this, and so thank
Speaker 3: you very much for bringing it for me. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much, Thank you so much. Pedro. Are you still there?
Speaker 3: And I've got Angie. I think she's still on mute,
Speaker 3: so she may be working out the technology to be
Speaker 3: able to join us in a little while. Yes, all right,
Speaker 3: So so doctor G. I'm going to call you doctor G.
Speaker 3: Grosship Allan is the official name, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: call you doctor G. For the purpose of the life
Speaker 3: and the conversation that we're going to be having. Uh,
Speaker 3: let's start at the beginning, and we've got just about
Speaker 3: an hour and a half time flies honestly, we started delayed.
Speaker 3: I think we may have permission from the bishop to
Speaker 3: go on a little bit longer. And there's nothing going
Speaker 3: on after the show. But one second, Yeah, there she
Speaker 3: is beautiful, Angie. Hey, hey, how are you? I'm not
Speaker 3: too bad? Oh gosh, I know you have your hands
Speaker 3: full on a Sabbaths and and you were trying to
Speaker 3: get back to the program from church.
Speaker 5: Between.
Speaker 3: So good to have.
Speaker 1: You live longer than everything.
Speaker 3: So hi, everybody, So and you just come in when
Speaker 3: I've just asked doctor g to to go back for
Speaker 3: us and give us a little bit of history, a
Speaker 3: little bit of background. We're talking king his story, and
Speaker 3: the details really have to begin at the beginning. I
Speaker 3: would want to say, So, you were born in montrat
Speaker 3: That's where I'm from, shameless plug and yeah, of course
Speaker 3: of course the nature and raised as an in an
Speaker 3: eventor's home. Yeah, and I remember when we spoke last
Speaker 3: you reminded me of how strict your dad is saying
Speaker 3: good afternoon to the bishop as well. Tell us a
Speaker 3: little bit about your upbringing, what what what significance did
Speaker 3: being raised in an eventor's home bring to the whole
Speaker 3: construct and one where you are today. Faith faith, faith,
Speaker 3: one word, one answer.
Speaker 1: I think the bottom, the foundation of everything that I've
Speaker 1: accomplished au far is faith. And I know for a
Speaker 1: fact when I think about the journey, I understand that
Speaker 1: it's all a process. And for many people they think
Speaker 1: faith is something Okay, I have to get it over
Speaker 1: like it happens straight away or I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: way out there. But faith is as simplest as getting
Speaker 1: up in the morning and tailing on the tap and
Speaker 1: expecting water to come through it. And that's that's how
Speaker 1: I've established But my father, you talk about parents, it
Speaker 1: was very strict to believe in his faith. And he's
Speaker 1: a man of action, you know. Shout out to my dad.
Speaker 1: He's inn. He is in the Caribbean enjoying the sun.
Speaker 8: With my mom.
Speaker 1: So the parents, they both work together in really building
Speaker 1: the home as an Adventus home. Because they send us
Speaker 1: to Adventuite School. It's you and for all of us
Speaker 1: went to Adventite School. How many siblings it's eight of us,
Speaker 1: eight of us and now seven live.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But faith is because my father always believed in prayer,
Speaker 1: early morning worship, get up and then get on with
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: That was it and getting you up early before you
Speaker 3: wanted to get up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you hear my dad out there singing, you know,
Speaker 1: about five o'clock in the morning, and it's a hint
Speaker 1: time for you to get up or if you didn't
Speaker 1: get up, he will come and get you. So yeah, faith,
Speaker 1: you know, was one of the biggest things that allowed
Speaker 1: me to become aware of and praise.
Speaker 3: God and shout out to those who are raising children
Speaker 3: God fearing children. There is nothing to replace that in
Speaker 3: the home or anywhere else, to be honest. Okay, So
Speaker 3: you've been raised in the church with the foundations, the
Speaker 3: SDA foundations, and and because of the volcano, i'd imagine
Speaker 3: you had to move to the UK. Yeah, and it
Speaker 3: is here that you begin to rebel a little bit.
Speaker 3: Or am I am? I understanding right that you've become
Speaker 3: You're not become a young man. You're grown as well
Speaker 3: as we say, and now you have rebelled a bit
Speaker 3: against what you were raised to believe in and the
Speaker 3: way that you were raised to behave.
Speaker 1: That's some of the strong word rebel. I think, I think,
Speaker 1: I think where it happened for me was I think
Speaker 1: going into my late teenagers or about nineteen eighteen, trying
Speaker 1: to find myself as a man. I think they're about twenty.
Speaker 1: I just kind of started to try to figure it
Speaker 1: out on my own. And that's where that's where I
Speaker 1: made a mistake. And I think, you know when a
Speaker 1: lot of the times young people think they can do
Speaker 1: it on their own. Do you think that your your
Speaker 1: the DJ? The DJ in life going out and DJ
Speaker 1: and at night, not letting my parents know I'm actually
Speaker 1: DJing not music that he is not supposed to be DJ.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to parties that you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: be going to because the influence is too much stronger
Speaker 1: your your mind is not strong enough to actually speak
Speaker 1: to it. And and you know, so it's where that
Speaker 1: it's coming into. The big city island life is totally
Speaker 1: different than this. Yeah, I think that was it, and
Speaker 1: I was curious, but I I didn't never. I never
Speaker 1: went far from God. That's one of the things. That's
Speaker 1: one of the things I must say, you know, no
Speaker 1: matter how much I fall, And I think that's one
Speaker 1: of the things I would always say to people in
Speaker 1: my messages and my story. You could fall at many times.
Speaker 1: The falling is not the problem is you. Getting back
Speaker 1: up and getting back up for me is everything, and
Speaker 1: it's the song say every round you go higher and higher.
Speaker 1: So it's all about knowing that now where I am,
Speaker 1: you said something I didn't didn't. I don't even think
Speaker 1: about the numbers, influences, and I know it doesn't. It
Speaker 1: just comes because God is taking you higher, God is
Speaker 1: exposing you, God is moving. And that's why, as I said,
Speaker 1: this book is my baby because being able to rub
Speaker 1: shoulders with international motivational speakers and being in the room
Speaker 1: at the table with them, You're like, how did I get?
Speaker 1: And it's all because of you know, that that mind,
Speaker 1: that faith that I built on, and yeah, those teenage years,
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that I made it through it because
Speaker 1: when I look around and I see so many people,
Speaker 1: young people especially, you know, I do speaking schools, stool
Speaker 1: and universities. The distraction is there. It's as soon as
Speaker 1: just your daughter, not even it's on your phone, it's
Speaker 1: on your iPod, it's on your TV, it's on your Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's right there. It's and they can choose it right and.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, so, yeah, it's a weird and
Speaker 3: wonderful time that we live in and you're right, Pedro.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you want to add anything here,
Speaker 3: a Petro and or you're raising children who are on
Speaker 3: the cusp of adulthood as well, and we've spoken about it.
Speaker 3: It's the beauty of talking point. We have touched on
Speaker 3: almost every topic over the you know what, I saw
Speaker 3: a flyer on my phone. I think it was Google
Speaker 3: pics or whatever brought it up one year celebration in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. So we've been going strong since twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: praise God. And I'm not sure that there is a
Speaker 3: topic we have not touched. And we have spoken to
Speaker 3: our young people. We've spoken with our young people, and
Speaker 3: I'm raising a boy. I mean, I say too often.
Speaker 3: I'm sure people are like, okay, so your we know,
Speaker 3: we know, we know, but the struggle is real. And Pedro,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you you share some of these sentiments,
Speaker 3: but I can see him trying to find himself, and
Speaker 3: every now and then he pushes against the grain and
Speaker 3: we're tossing and tussling because he's pushing me and I'm
Speaker 3: pushing back. But that's that's so true. I said, rebellion,
Speaker 3: But to be honest, it is us as young and
Speaker 3: I'm not going to forget it as well, trying to
Speaker 3: find ourselves.
Speaker 4: It's so funny because, as he just said, in the morning,
Speaker 4: it's kind of the three kids, it's kind of hard.
Speaker 5: Well he had eight, but we get up, we get
Speaker 5: We do have prayer.
Speaker 9: With him.
Speaker 1: As you wash your teeth. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's just busy. It's really crazy. In the morning.
Speaker 4: It's just really crazy, yeh, because you know, the girls
Speaker 4: just want to take forever, especially the fourty years.
Speaker 5: But we do.
Speaker 4: We do have prayer he was told about. I believe
Speaker 4: it because that's where I was brought up. My mother's
Speaker 4: a Bible work, my Fallow's a pastor.
Speaker 5: So we have prayer.
Speaker 10: We have.
Speaker 4: And then and the evening worships were the longest because
Speaker 4: my father had like forty five minute worships. It didn't
Speaker 4: matter if it was twelve o'clock at night, it didn't
Speaker 4: matter if it was nine o'clock at night. He would
Speaker 4: still be about forty five minutes every week, which at
Speaker 4: the time, I was like, man, this is forever.
Speaker 5: Are we gonna finish?
Speaker 4: But now that I look back, you know, I appreciate
Speaker 4: what he did because It gave me a foundation of
Speaker 4: Now that I have my kids, I'm very staunch on
Speaker 4: having on having that no matter what, even if we
Speaker 4: just pray, we're gonna we're gonna take five minutes and
Speaker 4: thank God for the day and for the life that
Speaker 4: we have, because I just think that it just puts
Speaker 4: up it is still what it does. Is that what
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's about to tell us, what if you
Speaker 4: go through in your life, when you have God and
Speaker 4: faith in your life, no matter if you leave God,
Speaker 4: God will always be in the back of your mind.
Speaker 5: You may not realize it, but He's there. And then
Speaker 5: you start doing things that you're like, man.
Speaker 4: Why am I and evenized God is, God is still
Speaker 4: talking to you because you have faith.
Speaker 5: You don't lose that faith when you're still in your children.
Speaker 4: If you are still in your children every day, every moment,
Speaker 4: then even when they leave, even if they kind of
Speaker 4: stray away a little bit, I will be able to
Speaker 4: talk to them and bring them back in.
Speaker 5: And that it makes a big difference in their life.
Speaker 4: And it's just ironically that he was just talking about
Speaker 4: what he was talking about, because just a few minutes
Speaker 4: when you just talking about Xenia I just finished before
Speaker 4: we got on. I just had worship with the kids
Speaker 4: and I was talking to them about their attitudes and
Speaker 4: how when I say something to.
Speaker 5: Them, they act like they don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: And I told them.
Speaker 4: Straight up that if I don't care if they're mad
Speaker 4: at me, I don't care if they hate my guts,
Speaker 4: But if it means that they're in the house and
Speaker 4: they hate my guts and they're in the house and
Speaker 4: they don't like me, that means they're not outside getting
Speaker 4: in trouble. They're not ourside getting pregnant, they're not outside
Speaker 4: doing drugs. I'm bettherm to be in the house and
Speaker 4: be mad at me and be outside of getting in trouble.
Speaker 4: So it's my job to not always say what they like,
Speaker 4: is to butt heads with them because I'm not their friend.
Speaker 4: I'm deaf paring first. So what you were just talking
Speaker 4: about and what he was just talking about, I'm I'm
Speaker 4: very start believing that. I believe that's the way that
Speaker 4: that we should raise our kids. We don't need to
Speaker 4: raise our kids with this. I don't give them options.
Speaker 4: I've said this before, and my house is a dictatorship.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 4: Because because this is why the dic tenorship to me,
Speaker 4: because I'm following God the best I can, and God
Speaker 4: is telling me how to raise my kids. So therefore
Speaker 4: God tells me to do such and such. They don't
Speaker 4: like it, get sweat, They'll get over it. They they'll
Speaker 4: they're they're, they'll get over there. They're being there feelings
Speaker 4: for a few minutes, but they'll get over it. Come
Speaker 4: back and the up said, I love your daddy and
Speaker 4: walk away.
Speaker 5: You know they'll they'll get over it. You know, I'm not.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't get upset when they get mad at me.
Speaker 4: You know they allowed to do that, So you know,
Speaker 4: I said, I know some people are not going to
Speaker 4: agree with that statement, but I.
Speaker 3: Mean it's about balance. If I can get at him,
Speaker 3: we can have we can have our arguments. I can
Speaker 3: set my rules. But he also knows, and I hope
Speaker 3: he knows. I'm sure he knows how much I love him.
Speaker 3: You know how much these rules are to guide him,
Speaker 3: to keep him out of trouble. I'd rather do that
Speaker 3: than to have the police ring in my door, as
Speaker 3: you've just said. So, I mean, it's it's one of
Speaker 3: the other. If we don't try and correct them now
Speaker 3: and guide them now, then somebody else the penal system
Speaker 3: will take over later. So yeah, absolutely, and.
Speaker 4: The disrespect and be respectful because of the same token
Speaker 4: with our kids.
Speaker 5: Like I'm respectful to them, I'm disrespectful. I don't you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do raise my voice, but then I do say, okay,
Speaker 4: look I should have raised my voice. But be respectful
Speaker 4: of me too, because I'm being respectful to you. Don't
Speaker 4: be disrespect for that. You be disrespectful back. And I'm
Speaker 4: gonna the daddy gonna come, the real daddy gonna come
Speaker 4: at me like I'm gonna show the old the Southern
Speaker 4: day school. I'm gonna show the old school then like that.
Speaker 4: Like my daddy from the South Green, Alabama.
Speaker 5: He was no joke. He didn't play that you could
Speaker 5: you could, you.
Speaker 1: Could be heard, but my dad was about My dad
Speaker 1: was the day my dad.
Speaker 4: Was Okay, you know, I'm trying to I used to
Speaker 4: be like that. I'm trying to not I'm trying to
Speaker 4: let them be seen and be heard. But you better
Speaker 4: say it in the right way.
Speaker 5: You're gonna be You're gonna be waking up from a
Speaker 5: little nap in a few minutes.
Speaker 3: All right, let's move alof.
Speaker 2: Before you get us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 5: You want to you want to call social services on me?
Speaker 5: Go ahead and living for to see if you love
Speaker 5: that body, you love me.
Speaker 1: Out, stand up.
Speaker 5: If you want to go live with somebody else, go
Speaker 5: right on the head. You're born and welcome to Let's
Speaker 5: see you.
Speaker 4: Let's see how you throw you thrive and flourish in
Speaker 4: another household the way you can thrive and flourish in
Speaker 4: this household.
Speaker 5: I want you to try and see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean doctors. You also also hinted that
Speaker 3: the fact that a lot of our young people, and
Speaker 3: I don't want us to miss that point, that along
Speaker 3: a lot of our young people leave the church and
Speaker 3: leave the environment that they were raised in. And not
Speaker 3: every every young person obviously is raised in the church
Speaker 3: and with God fearing parents. But those years are explorative years,
Speaker 3: you know, and and those are the years that we
Speaker 3: we we sample, we try, we investigate. Finding ourselves perhaps
Speaker 3: is the motive, but we do get ourselves sometimes into
Speaker 3: into trouble. And it's those it's those home truths and
Speaker 3: that that raising and you know, train up a challenge
Speaker 3: we should go. It's what brings us back, brings us back,
Speaker 3: all right. We don't want to stay too the well
Speaker 3: too long on parenting because there's so much more that
Speaker 3: we want to discuss, doctor g But but tell me then,
Speaker 3: so we want to get to the part where you
Speaker 3: I understand you and your father because of some.
Speaker 11: Of this.
Speaker 3: Behavior came to a head. Was that before the heartbreak
Speaker 3: or our to the heartbreak? A second story straight for me?
Speaker 1: So after the heartbreak. So basically you know this is
Speaker 1: this is why most people make bad decisions when they're emotional.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this again one more time. A
Speaker 1: lot of people make bad decisions because you're emotional. And
Speaker 1: I was in emotional state trying to figure out where
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be. So I just decided to
Speaker 1: pack up and leave London and I went to America.
Speaker 1: I was living in Florida for a while and didn't
Speaker 1: give no reason to my parents while I'm leaving. I
Speaker 1: just needed to get away. It was that afar from
Speaker 1: all the stuff that was going on around my life
Speaker 1: at that time, and New Territory was.
Speaker 3: What I did for And you were saying part of
Speaker 3: what was going on in the UK. Was that breakup,
Speaker 3: that that marriage that was on on the heart, what
Speaker 3: just didn't happen?
Speaker 12: It just ended.
Speaker 1: So, you know, so I went away and I was
Speaker 1: in the States, and when I was over there in
Speaker 1: Florida having the world over time, my mom, keep praying, Mom,
Speaker 1: keep calling my mom, keep calling, keep praying, keep calling,
Speaker 1: keep praying, and what do you do with me your life?
Speaker 1: One day she had this conversation with me. I love
Speaker 1: my mom, shouting out to my mom, and she was like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know, God has so much
Speaker 1: move for you, so much potential, cause I was just
Speaker 1: working in churches restaurant for those who for no churches
Speaker 1: restaurants in Florida. And I only made that move because
Speaker 1: of haste and just really just wanted to get away.
Speaker 1: And it's the first thing I actually did. I did
Speaker 1: all my own as a man, you know. So I
Speaker 1: don't regret it. Yeah, I didn't really regret it. But
Speaker 1: coming back now, you know, call it the good smarting
Speaker 1: story of my dad. You think my dad's gonna be
Speaker 1: in an open arms.
Speaker 5: He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He's like, you left, why'd you leave? There's no place
Speaker 1: here for you? And that's what's basically the conversation that
Speaker 1: were done, and whereas my mom saying to come back,
Speaker 1: they didn't know my mom, Dad didn't know nothing about
Speaker 1: it or whatever. I don't know the whole end of it.
Speaker 1: But when you realized I was there, it's like you left.
Speaker 1: You wanted to be. Come man, this is not where
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be.
Speaker 3: Took the doors to the house even though Mom wanted
Speaker 3: to keep the door open, that closet shut.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you've come back from from the US on
Speaker 3: the pleadings and begging of be your mother, but you
Speaker 3: have nowhere to go here in the UK. And is
Speaker 3: that where you became homeless and sort of ended up
Speaker 3: on part penches and trying to make.
Speaker 1: I called it the I call it the desert, you know,
Speaker 1: my desert part of my life where dry land I
Speaker 1: thought it was, but that was where everything was for me.
Speaker 1: I always say about the park bench, because I actually
Speaker 1: literally was a cold night looking up on the clear
Speaker 1: sky stars and saying, what am I gonna do with
Speaker 1: myself right now? How does this ever happen? How does
Speaker 1: the spiral out of control that I don't have a job,
Speaker 1: don't have a place to live, don't have a girlfriend,
Speaker 1: don't have nothing. Literally, there's two bags.
Speaker 3: Stick a pin here, Angie. I wanted to come to
Speaker 3: you earlier. I know you haven't had a chance to
Speaker 3: ask any questions or give any input. I wanted to
Speaker 3: come to you, and then I realized you had just
Speaker 3: snicked off the screen, so I wasn't sure if you
Speaker 3: were there or not. Did you want to add anything
Speaker 3: to what's been said or to to where we are?
Speaker 3: And now doctor G is back from the US, having
Speaker 3: made decision to go there for a fresh start, and
Speaker 3: on the pleadings of his mom's returned to the UK,
Speaker 3: but returned to closed doors in essence, and he's calling
Speaker 3: it the desert because that's where he is where God
Speaker 3: God sort of reached you and brought you to to
Speaker 3: where he wanted you to be.
Speaker 1: Hi, thank you for being for us on the show.
Speaker 1: I appreciate.
Speaker 10: Actually it really brought to mind father was twenty two
Speaker 10: six training for a child in the way he should
Speaker 10: go and when he's old, who want you will not
Speaker 10: depart from it? And sometimes I often wonder kind of
Speaker 10: how that presents itself, because you know, you talked about
Speaker 10: your upbringing and you know that's setting a really good
Speaker 10: foundation for you. You've got a praying mother. It sounds
Speaker 10: like a very strict father. You've got though, setting very
Speaker 10: stage principles and what But at some point, you know,
Speaker 10: when you get you've got older, but it's still there
Speaker 10: and underlying. So I'm kind of wondering at this point
Speaker 10: you've sort of gone away understand as Lee, you know,
Speaker 10: had heartbreak.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to have a fresh start, do something.
Speaker 10: But when you've come back and again you've talked about
Speaker 10: your mum praying for you, what really was the kind
Speaker 10: of turning point for you and actually was for you?
Speaker 1: Was God in that moment for you?
Speaker 10: You know, did you kind of recall any of those
Speaker 10: childhood messaging and those kind of big principles is that had.
Speaker 5: Been instilled in you?
Speaker 8: Was that that?
Speaker 10: Did that actually have anything to do with it? Or
Speaker 10: really was the case? I'm really what potted him as
Speaker 10: it were? What am I going to do next?
Speaker 1: I think it's both of them. They're not separate, but
Speaker 1: the training is definitely established in me about faith. As
Speaker 1: I said, I started out with that, but the conversation
Speaker 1: was real and having the encounter again, I think off
Speaker 1: had come to when I gave my heart to Christ
Speaker 1: at the agent eleven years old, I was baptized. I
Speaker 1: knew his voice, I knew who he is, and I
Speaker 1: understood clarity of the direction where he wanted me to be.
Speaker 1: But when you know, life spiral a lot of control
Speaker 1: with the emotion, I said, don't make emotional decisions. Always
Speaker 1: bring yourself back to a peace of mind and solidarity
Speaker 1: of you know, going to the riverside because somewhere where
Speaker 1: you see what somebody to calm yourself down. That part
Speaker 1: bench was my desert. Because you know, when I think
Speaker 1: about it, I'd say to myself, that conversation is still
Speaker 1: visit vivid of how I heard. Guys spoke to me
Speaker 1: and I said, you know that's it. Do you trust me?
Speaker 1: That's all I heard?
Speaker 13: For the son.
Speaker 1: Do you trust me? And I said, yes, God, Now
Speaker 1: go and tell everybody your story so.
Speaker 3: You you are on goodness? Me, How how do you
Speaker 3: trust God from rock bottom? Don't don't don't make it
Speaker 3: too sweet to to to to romantic, you know, don't,
Speaker 3: don't make this story too romantic. How how do you
Speaker 3: trust God from a park bench when you've lost you've
Speaker 3: listed it for me, you've lost your family, You've lost
Speaker 3: the love of your life, you have no job, no home,
Speaker 3: no future. But the looks of it, how how how
Speaker 3: do you trust God?
Speaker 1: I remember looking up at the stars and that's what
Speaker 1: I said, you said, and you know, stars was vivid
Speaker 1: to a bride and all I couldn't think of you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be one of them. That's you should be
Speaker 1: shining bright. So tell everyone your story. That just tell
Speaker 1: your story every single day. And that's what I That's
Speaker 1: what I did, so even though I was trying to
Speaker 1: stay in the one four nine bus to keep on.
Speaker 1: And then I will go to the McDonald's and brimsdown
Speaker 1: and there's a lady that would come after a little
Speaker 1: while and she will put uh first. She I think
Speaker 1: she put a towel with a burger inside of it
Speaker 1: because she realized I was coming there regular, yes, and
Speaker 1: I was to clean myself and to eat something for free.
Speaker 1: And that for me that I'm getting gooseful from that.
Speaker 1: That's when I look back on my story. It was
Speaker 1: knowing that, and I told everybody I had a broken heart,
Speaker 1: but God kept me. I did not lose my mind,
Speaker 1: although I had suicidal thoughts. I I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be in this world. That's how that dark place was.
Speaker 1: So if I'm telling my story, I started to go
Speaker 1: and talk about relationships and giving quotion online. I remember
Speaker 1: I shouting out to my cousin. She furnished, and she
Speaker 1: came in and she said, oh, here's something you can do.
Speaker 1: Put it Facebook. Can go and put your message on Facebook.
Speaker 1: That's what she said to me. I couldn't even type,
Speaker 1: I couldn't spell, I couldn't read. I was dyslexic. I
Speaker 1: only found out later on that I was this lexed
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty one after going back to university,
Speaker 1: Bretbak University in London. So what I'm saying is in
Speaker 1: that conversation, all I heard was do you trust me.
Speaker 1: If you do, go and tell everybody your story. And
Speaker 1: now I can tell you from that moment. Okay you
Speaker 1: want to say sugar cold and say, okay, it sounds
Speaker 1: to romantic, it's real because when you understand what trust
Speaker 1: means is if I'm supposed to do something, you do it.
Speaker 1: So if you're supposed to sing, sing, if you're supposed
Speaker 1: to paint, paint, if you're supposed to draw build a house,
Speaker 1: go on, build it and you talk about Noah. Noah
Speaker 1: didn't know. Come on, no I didn't have no idea.
Speaker 1: I think he said build a boat, and God gave
Speaker 1: him the wood. He told him exactly how high did
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying I looked crazy, but you don't want
Speaker 1: to say that. But I probably did. But the truth
Speaker 1: of it is, I remember when the visions start getting
Speaker 1: more clear, because when I was a young boy, this
Speaker 1: part of me and I talk about the enemy tries
Speaker 1: to take away your gift very early. Is one particular teacher.
Speaker 1: I forgive her now, I love her now. She put
Speaker 1: clothes pegs on my lips. She said you talked too much.
Speaker 1: She put four clothes pegs. He started with when you
Speaker 1: skipt talking and I kept talking, off with another one
Speaker 1: and then to the bottom to the top. That's the most.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying it saying from a perspective of when
Speaker 1: you understand that when the enemy knows your gift before you, Yes,
Speaker 1: and now, like I was, you talk for a living,
Speaker 1: come on and get paid. Look, let me just say this,
Speaker 1: and I say this with all authority, that God gives
Speaker 1: you a gift and all you got to do is
Speaker 1: to trust God with your gifts. So you might say, actually,
Speaker 1: I can't say no better than that. If you know
Speaker 1: you trust the bank with your money, right, say no
Speaker 1: more than Yeah, let's not get into.
Speaker 3: That, should we shouldn't we? Let's let's listen, listen, Let's
Speaker 3: take a pin here. Let's take a break. I'm sure my.
Speaker 1: Colleagues did I pull an over there.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break. We're going to take a song,
Speaker 3: and then we're going to come back. We're still on live.

Speaker 3: for the next hour or so on that platform as well.
Speaker 3: But feel free to join any one of us and
Speaker 3: you will see our faces. It's not always that you
Speaker 3: see our faces. You usually hear our lovely voices, some
Speaker 3: more lovely than others. Say no more. And we've got
Speaker 3: doctor g in the house, powerful, powerful testimony. I know
Speaker 3: we don't have the kind of time to dig deep
Speaker 3: into each aspect, but in a nutshell, you're just talking
Speaker 3: about your upbringing, being raised in an Adventist home and
Speaker 3: that season that most young people go through where you
Speaker 3: wanted to explore what life had to offer outside the house.
Speaker 3: And I know Pedro Angie and I we kind of
Speaker 3: touched on that as parents, as you know, guardians and
Speaker 3: ourselves being raised in Adventist homes. But now you're back
Speaker 3: from the US. You traveled, wanted a fresh start, maybe
Speaker 3: wanted to get away from a few things. You've come back.
Speaker 3: You've come back to what you thought was an open home,
Speaker 3: a prodigal sum story, maybe where your father would welcome
Speaker 3: you back with open arms, but strict as he is.
Speaker 3: And hello, daddy, we're not saying anything wrong. You know,
Speaker 3: we love you dearly. He said, No, you know you
Speaker 3: wanted to be a man. You're in big man things,
Speaker 3: as they say. And no, your home is no longer yours.
Speaker 3: The home is no longer yours. You need to find
Speaker 3: your way. And this brought you to a season of
Speaker 3: homeless less, homelessless living on park benches, showering in McDonald's.
Speaker 3: And thank God for the people that he strategically put
Speaker 3: in your way, in your path, people who helped you,
Speaker 3: gave you things, you know, food resources, so that you
Speaker 3: could live really in essence, from a place of nothingless.
Speaker 3: And you talk about that as being the desert place
Speaker 3: in your life where God kind of brought you to
Speaker 3: rock bottom. And there's a saying there's only one way
Speaker 3: to go from rock bottom, and that's up. And I
Speaker 3: remember reading quite recently this quote that says that position
Speaker 3: of laying flat on your back is the position for
Speaker 3: which you can look straight up.
Speaker 6: And that's what you said.
Speaker 3: You looked up, and as clear as day, you heard
Speaker 3: the voice of God say, tell your story. And that
Speaker 3: also made me. Think how many ministries are birthed, you know,
Speaker 3: from mess, how many testimonies are burst from that test
Speaker 3: And you know you were in that desert place, but
Speaker 3: God was preparing you for what he had in store
Speaker 3: for you. And you talked about you know, we maybe
Speaker 3: not going to touch on that old school teachers who
Speaker 3: who said, you know what, be quiet? And I mean
Speaker 3: I remember my girlfriend and I we sat this by
Speaker 3: desk in the classroom and we spoke all night on
Speaker 3: the phone. And our parents were like, how could you
Speaker 3: still have something to say in the classroom when you
Speaker 3: guys are up all night on the phone.
Speaker 6: But that's that's what we were. We were chatterboxes.
Speaker 3: But here God was putting in you and had put
Speaker 3: in you I beg your pardon, had put in you
Speaker 3: the gift of the gap. And now you're speaking internationally.
Speaker 3: You're rubbing shoulders with some really big, big hitters. You
Speaker 3: you met you met my man. Oh gosh, I've missed
Speaker 3: his name. Who does family feud? Okay, Steve, Steve Harvey.
Speaker 3: You've met Steve Harvey And potentially, I mean, I'm hooking
Speaker 3: with you if you could hook us up. It'd be
Speaker 3: nice to have him on the show one day, and
Speaker 3: I know you're looking to bring him or to connect
Speaker 3: with him when he's over showing.
Speaker 1: Up to Steve, you know, I tell you, and this
Speaker 1: is going back a number of years ago now on
Speaker 1: my way back to London is when I met him
Speaker 1: the first time and I planned to airport.
Speaker 6: I tell us, tell us that story, because I really
Speaker 6: love how God sets you up right there.
Speaker 1: I think that was that's why I was energized, not
Speaker 1: knowing I was going to get a knocked by my dad.
Speaker 1: It's funny the stories because it's just amazing. So here
Speaker 1: was this guy, you know, saying, hey, ain't that Steve Harvey.
Speaker 1: I said like yeah, and I really love Kings of
Speaker 1: Comedy love you know, his thing and that what he does.
Speaker 1: So at that stage, you know, and I just heard
Speaker 1: my spirit said walk up to him. So I just
Speaker 1: started to walk up to him. But now I look
Speaker 1: him back, I remember him doing that. He tapped his
Speaker 1: hand like, not knowing of the security guards around. I
Speaker 1: just walked straight up to you. I just walked on.
Speaker 1: I just walked straight and his two boys with him
Speaker 1: was with him, and I just spoke to him like
Speaker 1: I knew him, and he spoke to me like he
Speaker 1: knew me, and then that the words that you know,
Speaker 1: really inspired me from from a physical point, he just said.
Speaker 1: He laid his hands on my shoulder because he's about
Speaker 1: seven foot told plus and he say, son, there's something
Speaker 1: amazing about you. I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 1: there's something. And that's after we spoke for about half
Speaker 1: an hour. Right, that's that part. I don't really give
Speaker 1: that conversation. I know one day he would be able
Speaker 1: to share it, but it's just phenomenal what he said
Speaker 1: and how things transfer aspired to where now he's one
Speaker 1: of the biggest speakers in the game as motivational speakers.
Speaker 1: His host talk shows is published like Act Like Really
Speaker 1: Think a Command that was a best seller movie. Then
Speaker 1: he did the Act like Success. Think Like Success followed
Speaker 1: his career, and then I was able to come back again,
Speaker 1: uh with my wife this time. Yes, I got married
Speaker 1: and we were able to be there for the weekend
Speaker 1: with him. That was phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And counter that just being in the room, sharing with him,
Speaker 1: talking with him personally, Uh, you know, taking pictures with
Speaker 1: him and just hanging out. But it was a confirmation
Speaker 1: because that was that happened about three or four years later.
Speaker 1: I can't remember about five years later, but we stayed
Speaker 1: connected through from Atlanta to uh going back to Atlanta
Speaker 1: for the event, and it was a weekend event and
Speaker 1: I was there. But I say this, you know, God
Speaker 1: is a god of science and wonders.
Speaker 3: I feel, I feel you need to repeat that God.
Speaker 1: Is a god of and wonders because you know, all
Speaker 1: of us have something inside of us, and it's nothing
Speaker 1: to hide. You know, God has already made away for
Speaker 1: you playing if you want to go after it madly.
Speaker 1: You talk about the likes of Steve Harvey, but for
Speaker 1: me meeting Anthony Joshua a few times everyway Champions of
Speaker 1: World saying man, I see you. I said, no, you
Speaker 1: see me. He said, what do you mean why? He said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not motivational speaker. And I'm like, you know. Then
Speaker 1: later on in the day when I was there, hand
Speaker 1: the mic to me and said, here goes the motivational
Speaker 1: speak and I was able to speak to empower him,
Speaker 1: to motivate him. That's that's a phenomenal thing. And I
Speaker 1: talk about the dream because here goes this guy that
Speaker 1: went viral in two thousand and ten thereabouts went to
Speaker 1: Canada and this young lady said, this is this guy
Speaker 1: she watched my stuff and she said, okay, this guy
Speaker 1: called e T. I said, okay, who's ET? I said yeah,
Speaker 1: and she went onto a laptop, pull up, eat that's
Speaker 1: now is doctor Eric Thomas eating the hip hop preacher.
Speaker 1: Let me give him the accolade who he is? And
Speaker 1: he said, I see the both of you similar. I said,
Speaker 1: what you mean? And when he pulled them up, she said,
Speaker 1: I see you guys traveling the world and speaking and
Speaker 1: doing stuff. I said, for real. This was two thousand
Speaker 1: and ten thereabouts. Yeah, and it was just crazy like
Speaker 1: when when she What really hit me from that moment
Speaker 1: was he said, when you speak, I listened to you
Speaker 1: for my relationships I have with my family members. But
Speaker 1: when I listened to him and so studying and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and that was the thing that separated. And
Speaker 1: she pulled up she had loads of his videos and
Speaker 1: he had she had six of minds And I'm like,
Speaker 1: why you only have six of my fears and you
Speaker 1: know me? She said, no, these six really resonate and
Speaker 1: really has said. So the reason why I say that
Speaker 1: I'm I made a promise that it was going to happen,
Speaker 1: and in twenty nineteen I was able to share the
Speaker 1: stage in him in London, and that's why I wrote
Speaker 1: the book Dreams. So it was a dream that came
Speaker 1: true man, And that's why the dream came a live
Speaker 1: that being a speaker and being a coach that I am. Yes,
Speaker 1: I am a life coach, a lifestyle coach, and I
Speaker 1: help people all across the world. One of my clients
Speaker 1: this week, she said to me, I'm so happy I
Speaker 1: found you because I could only see my life changing
Speaker 1: if my life only changed after I met you. So,
Speaker 1: you know, doing what I do now on the scale
Speaker 1: i'm doing it, it's nothing but the grace of God.
Speaker 1: It's nothing for me, and I still trust him to
Speaker 1: take me to a different place. Well, here I am
Speaker 1: and I told you. What did I say to you
Speaker 1: when I came to the studio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you said, this is a few years in the making.
Speaker 6: You've been invited here before.
Speaker 1: I'd never I never got here, So you know, talking point,
Speaker 1: let me just say, you know, you guys are going places.
Speaker 1: You you said four years you're one of the things
Speaker 1: about conversations, and I say this for you said it
Speaker 1: in earlier, and I want to say, if it triggers
Speaker 1: you anyway, if it upsets you, reach out to me.
Speaker 1: I'm available. I would like to help you. But let
Speaker 1: me tell you. When God brings an emotion in you,
Speaker 1: he wants you to move something I'm learning to do.
Speaker 1: A lot of us hesitate to move, and it's only
Speaker 1: through moving. I was able to meet Steve Avey. Only
Speaker 1: through moving, I was able to stand on the same
Speaker 1: stage with doctor Eric Thomas Easy being able to be
Speaker 1: an anti adjust speaking champion of the world. Some of
Speaker 1: the other names Les Brown stage, I was on Lesbrown
Speaker 1: stage now as a seven day Adventist Christian. I'm going
Speaker 1: to say this. You know, we have a gift. We
Speaker 1: have a message that is pure. It is so clean
Speaker 1: and truth, and we have to believe it. We have
Speaker 1: to believe that Jesus is coming again. We have to
Speaker 1: believe that he came because he loved us, and he
Speaker 1: first loved us before your mom loved you. This is now,
Speaker 1: before your dad loved me. Now now she asked me
Speaker 1: a question earlier. I knew that so because I knew.
Speaker 3: That even my father, your earthly father, Yes, I knew.
Speaker 1: I had a father in eaven. I knew your father
Speaker 1: would never leave me, know forsake me. I knew her
Speaker 1: father that, regardless to what I was going through, was
Speaker 1: going to somehow take me out of it. So we
Speaker 1: always put herself in a mess, right, Yes, that God
Speaker 1: never put us in a mess, but he will use
Speaker 1: that mess and turn it into a message. And that's
Speaker 1: why to this day, to this day, I'm just grateful
Speaker 1: for the journey. And you know it's not stop there
Speaker 1: and lots of new things coming in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 3: So as long as we have breaths, hey, as long
Speaker 3: as we have breath. Guys, do you want to add
Speaker 3: anything before we we take on a few more questions?
Speaker 3: And guys, if you're on these platforms, please and you
Speaker 3: want to ask a question of doctor G or any
Speaker 3: of us, then please do send those messages in and
Speaker 3: we'll pick them up and we'll ask on your behalf.
Speaker 3: But yes, guys, do you want to add anything anything?
Speaker 3: Sort of stuck with you, I'm just going to.
Speaker 17: Say, as you, I really love what you just said.
Speaker 17: Then you know, you just turn that mess into a
Speaker 17: message for you. What's your what's the clear message for you?
Speaker 17: If you were to sort of say, I know, describe
Speaker 17: your message with one sentence or a couple of words.
Speaker 17: What would that be, A grabbing the book you love you?
Speaker 1: That's that. That's it.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: Love has been my message. It's the key. It says,
Speaker 1: love what you do, and do what you love. God
Speaker 1: is inside of love. He is the one that created love.
Speaker 1: He didn't the enemy did not create love. So for
Speaker 1: for if you trying to to that's where I started everything.
Speaker 1: When you start loving yourself the same way that God
Speaker 1: loves you, then you wouldn't put filth in your body.
Speaker 1: Then you wouldn't go to places that's gonna get you
Speaker 1: in trouble. Then you won't. Love is the actual thing
Speaker 1: that would bring you to a point of your gift.
Speaker 1: Because after you love yourself, the only thing that's gonna
Speaker 1: happen is what can I do for others? And you know,
Speaker 1: as I said, your story and I say to everybody
Speaker 1: is your glory.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 1: For me, my message is to be love you. But
Speaker 1: most of all, if you could just love God unconditionally
Speaker 1: the same way He loves you, I guarantee you every
Speaker 1: thing that you desire will surely come to past. And
Speaker 1: I'm not listen.
Speaker 6: I never give let me put like in this shot myself.
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to give some joy to something because there's
Speaker 1: a joy that I want to give. The joy is
Speaker 1: I'm happily married eleven years, the mad two beautiful children.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see you on the phone on my own
Speaker 1: president of development company, and this is listen.
Speaker 3: Can I just can I just can I just bring
Speaker 3: you back to what you said a few minutes ago,
Speaker 3: that you've moved from not being able to read, not
Speaker 3: being able to write. Listen God, if God isn't good,
Speaker 3: if God isn't great, if God isn't great, I.
Speaker 1: Tell you something, and I hope that anybody that's listening.
Speaker 1: God don't want you to be average. He told you
Speaker 1: you were royal. He told you your peculiar. He told
Speaker 1: you you're set apart. He told you that if you
Speaker 1: trust me, I won't give you the desires of your heart.
Speaker 4: This is this is it.
Speaker 1: The thing is when I when I speak as a
Speaker 1: motivational speaker and I tell you the things spiritual speaking,
Speaker 1: I don't speak from me. I speak from what God
Speaker 1: put in me. Because there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: think you could go and get a book or what
Speaker 1: do they call it. There's so many books now on
Speaker 1: personal development and you could go and google it, but
Speaker 1: there is something that has to take place in your
Speaker 1: personal development that takes you to spiritual development. And there
Speaker 1: are many people that don't want to have that conversation.
Speaker 1: So that's why which bring me to the advocate that
Speaker 1: I am. Mental illness is destroying the world because you're
Speaker 1: trying to do it.
Speaker 3: On your own.
Speaker 1: You know you you can't do it on your own.
Speaker 1: You weren't. We weren't designed to do it on our own.
Speaker 1: We were designed to be able to cry out. David
Speaker 1: cried out, come on and prench you get you get
Speaker 1: me excited. So whatever I speak, you know, I remember
Speaker 1: I went to a college in reading and I was
Speaker 1: speaking read in college and I had my story because
Speaker 1: I just published Masterpiece, so I got my books with
Speaker 1: me and the lecturer what a powerful, powerful speech. I
Speaker 1: had children coming up in tears. These are Muslims, a
Speaker 1: lot of them. They were crying like what faith? And
Speaker 1: she opened up my book right and she had a
Speaker 1: skin through. She goes, Yah, see you talk a lot
Speaker 1: about God, I said so. So straight away there was
Speaker 1: an issue at the table because now I can't give
Speaker 1: the books that basically what you're telling me. She can't.
Speaker 1: I can't sell up, you know. And I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: God is everywhere. We all talk about God. It's just
Speaker 1: in my book. And she was like, whoa, she never
Speaker 1: thought of it like that. But she's coming as a faculty,
Speaker 1: so you know. Yes. So I was like, I can't.
Speaker 1: You can't separate You can't separate yourself from God. He said,
Speaker 1: nothing separate you from his love. So even in when
Speaker 1: Daniel was in the Liones that you think that, look,
Speaker 1: look what happened. He run came out, He came out there. Daniel,
Speaker 1: did your God save you? Many of us don't want
Speaker 1: to go for the Daniel situation, but it's the Danniel
Speaker 1: situation when you realize that you are not on your own.
Speaker 1: I have been carrying you the footprints in the sands.
Speaker 1: So for me, I say this all the time, and
Speaker 1: I'm whatever dark places you're going through, he is the
Speaker 1: light man, and he will turn on the light. There's
Speaker 1: there's no grief. And you know what's so funny, I
Speaker 1: couldn't teach on grief. I'm all through the years as
Speaker 1: being a motivational speaker. How could I couldn't?
Speaker 3: I was you didn't have that?
Speaker 1: Could I couldn't? My uncles died, but I couldn't. But
Speaker 1: when my sister died forty two years old through COVID,
Speaker 1: suddenly haven't seen her for ten years, came up to London,
Speaker 1: been here for a couple of months, gone leave a
Speaker 1: beautiful baby girl behind. I couldn't understand that. But I've
Speaker 1: never asked God why. All I said to God was
Speaker 1: show me the purpose. And man, here comes a book
Speaker 1: out of it. Here comes me telling people with grief
Speaker 1: that's going through it that I've been through it. Come on.
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm just grateful. Sorry, I think she
Speaker 1: got me excited.
Speaker 6: And you hit her lave.
Speaker 11: I mean, this is exactly, isn't it, Because like you said,
Speaker 11: and you're you know, you're demonstrating exactly what that is.
Speaker 17: You know, not only is it just you have a message,
Speaker 17: you also have that passion, you have that fire, and
Speaker 17: you know you're seeing the impact.
Speaker 3: And I guess, I guess.
Speaker 17: My other question is asked on that is what has
Speaker 17: been the impact on you especially? And I asked that
Speaker 17: in the sense of this month's being November it's our
Speaker 17: men's months. And there are lots of men who are
Speaker 17: going through you know, we're all going through the struggle.
Speaker 17: Struggle is real, but for men particularly, you know, they
Speaker 17: have their own particular struggles they're going through. You know,
Speaker 17: you mentioned about mental health. You know, when you hit
Speaker 17: your lowest points as well. But so many men don't.
Speaker 17: So many men don't reach out in a way that
Speaker 17: we wish they would. You know, they try and cope themselves.
Speaker 17: They try and do their own thing, isn't it. That's
Speaker 17: the thing, so, you know, and it's kind of some
Speaker 17: unfortunate society's messaging is that you have to be strong,
Speaker 17: you have to be you know, to be a man.
Speaker 11: You're this and that you know, not showing your vulnerable side.
Speaker 17: You've obviously had to learn some of that and embrace that,
Speaker 17: and you know you are using your own experience.
Speaker 11: But so for you, what has been the impact for you?
Speaker 11: As well? As much as you are in you are
Speaker 11: impacting other people.
Speaker 1: I think one of the things I always tell myself,
Speaker 1: you're not alone. The enemy's trick is to make you
Speaker 1: think that you're the only one. Nobody understands. And I
Speaker 1: think for men, uh, we're we are called to lead,
Speaker 1: we are called to be the head of the house.
Speaker 1: We are called to stand up and have the backbone.
Speaker 1: That's what we're called to do. And there's a lot
Speaker 1: of us fold, a lot of us like and I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, women have done tremendously to really man the house.
Speaker 1: Uh shout out to my single parents that are women.
Speaker 1: And I say this because I coach a lot of women.
Speaker 1: But they can't bring up a boy child the way
Speaker 1: a man can. And I say it, I say it gently. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not respectful. Respectfully I want, I want you
Speaker 1: to really get this. And I have this hard. It's
Speaker 1: a hard conversation, you know, some conversation some people don't
Speaker 1: want to hear. But when you have to figure out one,
Speaker 1: where do you want your sons to end up? And
Speaker 1: to who would do you want them to emulate? Because
Speaker 1: we all every man emulates some for somebody. My father
Speaker 1: is my best friend. I say that now. Yes, he
Speaker 1: is my he is my confidante, he is my cheerleader,
Speaker 1: he is he's my ride or die. He's my investor.
Speaker 3: Hey, let me let me.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to things. He invested in the in
Speaker 1: the company. Look, let me, let me say this in
Speaker 1: a say this. But he had to show me tough love.
Speaker 1: He had to show me son, no you left me.
Speaker 1: You need to stand on your own two feet and
Speaker 1: by far, I don't think I would have been here
Speaker 1: if he didn't close that door. And this is the thing.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the word right there.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who are scared of closed doors.
Speaker 1: But some closed doors are meant to let you know
Speaker 1: when the door is open. Value with when the door
Speaker 1: is open, valuate, like let me tell your husband's sorry.
Speaker 1: You just picked the nerve again. Like if your wife
Speaker 1: didn't close the door on you and he told you to, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you meant to sort your life out. Maybe you're coming
Speaker 1: on too late. You're not listening. She closed the door,
Speaker 1: so coming early. Fix it, you know, I love. One
Speaker 1: of one of my motivation speakers says it says, if
Speaker 1: your wife is not taking care of you, maybe you
Speaker 1: just lost She lost the motivation. You need to start
Speaker 1: tapping back into how you motivated her to try to
Speaker 1: see you late in the movies, to sneak out of
Speaker 1: her house to see why she didn't tell her parents.
Speaker 1: You got to start tapping back into me and the motivator. So, men,
Speaker 1: the first trick of the enemy is to make you
Speaker 1: think that you're the only one. And if you start
Speaker 1: thinking that you're the only one, then guess what happens next.
Speaker 1: You start getting emotional. And there is no man proven
Speaker 1: that's made in a emotional decision. I didn't feel a
Speaker 1: consequence of it. Listen to me, and I say this.
Speaker 1: I'm a man of principle now and I can say
Speaker 1: it boldly. I can tell you. Look, I am a husband.
Speaker 1: I need to provide, I need to protect, I need
Speaker 1: to plan. That's just who I am. So you gotta
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 3: Who you are.
Speaker 6: I need to get this tape.
Speaker 1: So so for real, for real, let me just say this.
Speaker 1: So the thing is with men is if you're too emotional,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You're too emotional because at the time, and
Speaker 1: let me say this, let me say this, and let
Speaker 1: me say it gently, because there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: think emotions are something that you got to all it's
Speaker 1: over expressed. I cry, Listen, man, I cry. I cried.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was going through that, that time
Speaker 1: would since no I'm going back to that. That not
Speaker 1: even my sister was the darkest point let me, let me,
Speaker 1: let me, let me show you something. Whenever I look
Speaker 1: back on my life, that suicidal thoughts was my darkest point.
Speaker 1: I did not want to live. I did not want
Speaker 1: to go on. How could I give somebody my heart,
Speaker 1: give somebody my soul, give somebody my promise and stuck
Speaker 1: to my way that you didn't stick to yours? And
Speaker 1: you said all these stuff. I love you, I want
Speaker 1: to be with you. How could I do for me?
Speaker 1: But when grief comes to me, I got a hope
Speaker 1: in Jesus Christ. No no, no, no, like for real,
Speaker 1: for real, like why cry, he's no longer here, like
Speaker 1: he is risen, not for real, the advent. If you
Speaker 1: don't believe it, then you're gonna's it gonna hurt every
Speaker 1: now and then to this day, I look through my phone.
Speaker 1: My sister's numbers still there. Okay on Facebook reminded me
Speaker 1: it was a birthday. So it's gonna hurt. But I
Speaker 1: got this hope that when I leave this. Oh, for
Speaker 1: those of you think that you're not gonna leave. When
Speaker 1: I leave this, I am not just gonna be in
Speaker 1: the grave sleeping. I'm waiting to see my heavenly father,
Speaker 1: so so with that said, you know we we should
Speaker 1: grieve differently. So I understand the process of grief. But
Speaker 1: if you have that hope, listen, man, it's not it's
Speaker 1: totally different. And I say this, I say this in
Speaker 1: a say from a perspective of men. Men just need
Speaker 1: to know that you are already strong. How does that work?
Speaker 1: A jew cell battery is a Jewish battery instead of
Speaker 1: an energized battery. You know it's Jewish, right, So you
Speaker 1: have to know that you are strong. If you know
Speaker 1: you were strong, then you operate like that. And sometimes
Speaker 1: the enemy makes you think that you're not strong enough.
Speaker 5: But you are.
Speaker 3: I wanted to just bring Petrone. I know he's been listening,
Speaker 3: and I'm sure he must have a commental two. He
Speaker 3: is obviously he's coming on here my marriage and he
Speaker 3: has a podcast that he does about marriage. I know
Speaker 3: what you said about our men and our men manning
Speaker 3: up and motivating our women to take care of him
Speaker 3: must have pricked there a little bit. I don't know
Speaker 3: if he wants to add anything to that, But Pedro,
Speaker 3: what's your he's not up, what's your thoughts?
Speaker 6: I can't hear you. I hope our listeners kind on radio.
Speaker 13: True in my marriage, I've in my nineteen years, my
Speaker 13: marriage didn't start to flourish until a man, I'm man
Speaker 13: up into responsibility for everything that was happening in the marriage.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it didn't matter.
Speaker 13: It didn't matter what my wife did it and marriage
Speaker 13: didn't matter what my kids did. My job is to
Speaker 13: facilitate and to fix the issues. If there's an issue,
Speaker 13: I fix it. If there's a problem, I fix it.
Speaker 13: I don't I don't judge, I don't, I don't blame,
Speaker 13: I don't any of that.
Speaker 8: I'm like, Okay, this is the issue.
Speaker 13: And then my wife's job is to facilitate back to
Speaker 13: me and understand where I'm coming from, and we work
Speaker 13: together every compromise.
Speaker 8: And that goes with my kids too.
Speaker 13: So what he was just saying, I was just thinking
Speaker 13: about what he was saying, and I'm like, man, I
Speaker 13: gotta get him on the podcast because what he was
Speaker 13: saying is so true. People need to hear that because
Speaker 13: like we as men, we as men with you know,
Speaker 13: we're told that, we're told that there's men that we're
Speaker 13: not supposed to. Like you said, the cry or show weakness.
Speaker 13: Showing weakness to my wife actually made him realize he said,
Speaker 13: I'm human when I'm mean and I'm rash and I'm
Speaker 13: just My wife thinks I'm a monster. But when she
Speaker 13: sees that, oh, he actually.
Speaker 8: Has a heart, because that's one of the things that
Speaker 8: women will saying, you have no heart. You don't care,
Speaker 8: you know, only thinking of yourself, and.
Speaker 1: That's that's the pay something. My wife says that you
Speaker 1: have no heart. You have no But let me just
Speaker 1: say this, some decision. I don't say this now, and
Speaker 1: in your life desires of you not to have no heart.
Speaker 1: He takes courage. Some decisions. You gotta be bold. You
Speaker 1: just have to say failess I'm you.
Speaker 12: Just gotta do it.
Speaker 1: And then guess what who you were right to? Maybe
Speaker 1: you were right exactly.
Speaker 6: But don't don't give him too much in courage. Please
Speaker 6: please should be.
Speaker 1: Mad, he should be mad.
Speaker 13: It works out and she's like, you know what, you
Speaker 13: was right. You're right to do it that way. You
Speaker 13: was right to be mean that way. You wasn't being mean.
Speaker 13: You was just being to your to your guns. You
Speaker 13: was just you know, especially when they.
Speaker 8: Come to the children, thinks I being mean to the children.
Speaker 13: I'm like, no, I'm not being mean. To the children,
Speaker 13: because what you was talking about with like raising, I
Speaker 13: come from.
Speaker 8: A single mom. My mom was single and when she.
Speaker 13: Didn't have my father. My father left when I was
Speaker 13: about four, and I didn't have no no, no father
Speaker 13: until about fourteen. And I totally agree with that that
Speaker 13: a man needs to be there to raise their child,
Speaker 13: because it's just a difference. My mother could only get
Speaker 13: me to a certain point. At that point, I didn't
Speaker 13: needed that. My God bless my mother to meet a
Speaker 13: man who she married and from that point trust me.
Speaker 13: Me and him, we didn't get along. The first three
Speaker 13: years four years of our of our of the marriage,
Speaker 13: we flowed. We had arguments. I got punished, I got whoopings,
Speaker 13: I got awers. I got a weapon for skill of
Speaker 13: the twenty five cents.
Speaker 1: One time I.
Speaker 8: Got a whapon for dropping.
Speaker 13: A bucket of butter on the floor. You know how
Speaker 13: slippery butter is. I was taking it out the fridge
Speaker 13: and it slipped up my head and fell and flattered.
Speaker 13: He thought I was being nasty by that whip me.
Speaker 13: But I understand now where he was coming from. It
Speaker 13: wasn't that, it was just it was just the visual aspect.
Speaker 8: Of it to him. I was being you know, I
Speaker 8: was being you know, think so like.
Speaker 13: But having my father in my life until he passed away,
Speaker 13: he was the best thing ever. That's what made me
Speaker 13: the man I am today. I got my mother and me,
Speaker 13: but I have my father, even though he's my stepfather,
Speaker 13: he's my father and he raised me the way that
Speaker 13: he wanted me to be, and that made me, you know,
Speaker 13: who I am today. So I totally agree with you
Speaker 13: on that, because you can't. I was gonna say something
Speaker 13: I don't know if I should still say. When you
Speaker 13: when you meet guys sometimes that have been raised by women,
Speaker 13: they have women tendencies that you're just like, you start
Speaker 13: wondering are they gay or not? And I'm just gonna
Speaker 13: come out and say, because you know, they shake their
Speaker 13: hand and sit the way and or they move and
Speaker 13: certain way.
Speaker 8: You like, who's been raised by his mom, you get
Speaker 8: tild you can actually child sometimes when a.
Speaker 13: Man get raised by their mother, because they and that's
Speaker 13: what I mean, it's just it just the masculinity part.
Speaker 13: Men need to have that Mexican masculinely brought him in
Speaker 13: them throughout their life. And that's why my oldest son,
Speaker 13: his mom had a had a husband, but she wouldn't
Speaker 13: let him do anything.
Speaker 8: And I told him, no, if he's in your if
Speaker 8: he's in your house with your husband, long is he's
Speaker 8: not amusing my son, he should.
Speaker 13: Be able to to he's my son because he took
Speaker 13: all the responsibility of you have a son. So I'm
Speaker 13: a I'm a strong believer of step parents being able
Speaker 13: to raise co parent with with everybody and raise the
Speaker 13: child with you know, to have a say because especially
Speaker 13: when it's a male, when it's a.
Speaker 3: Male involved, I just want to interject here.
Speaker 8: It helps them. It helped the young man.
Speaker 13: It helped the young man to understand from a male
Speaker 13: perspective how to be a male.
Speaker 8: And I just think that that's a really strong that's
Speaker 8: just my strong belief in that aspect. But that's what
Speaker 8: I really think.
Speaker 13: When he was talking about raising kids and stuff, and
Speaker 13: I was like, no, that it just boy, You're like
Speaker 13: it just yeah, you're right to just well back.
Speaker 3: I saw you, I saw your bursting, and hire would
Speaker 3: just go.
Speaker 8: Back and forth. Were talking for two hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we don't we don't want to get too controversial, Petro, please,
Speaker 3: oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: But I gotta speak on it. Though, because I want
Speaker 1: to say something.
Speaker 13: Angela asked earlier. Angela asked the question earlier. You know,
Speaker 13: as for men like you know, like our mental health
Speaker 13: and stuff. This is what helps us with our mental health.
Speaker 13: I'm not being controversal, I'm being real.
Speaker 8: Stop.
Speaker 13: We got to stop using that word when we're being
Speaker 13: real and honest and transparent and just tell you how
Speaker 13: we feel as being contiversal.
Speaker 8: Is my opinion?
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough my opinion?
Speaker 12: What is my opinion?
Speaker 3: Fair enough?
Speaker 8: Your opinion? You that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wanted to also add here, Pedro, whiles you're
Speaker 3: talking about that that I mean I'm a single mom,
Speaker 3: and praise God, I now have a man in my
Speaker 3: life who is there for my son. But there are
Speaker 3: so many women who do not have that facility, and
Speaker 3: this is a good point to jump in that first
Speaker 3: of all, our men who can need to mentor our
Speaker 3: men who can need to give back, our young boys
Speaker 3: who are lost in the community, find a way to
Speaker 3: reach them, even if it's your neighbor's son or whatever
Speaker 3: it might be, because we just need to put our
Speaker 3: arms around them. And this is where also our church
Speaker 3: can make a huge difference, because this is a community
Speaker 3: now where our young people are coming in and out
Speaker 3: and they definitely have that scope to see and to
Speaker 3: be part of their lives. And I mean, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying being the ones that are just passing judgment, because
Speaker 3: unfortunately sometimes that's the role we think that we must play.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about building real relationships. And we had this
Speaker 3: conversation last week, Angie, if you remember when we were
Speaker 3: talking to our Men's ministry leaders, it really is about
Speaker 3: building that bond, not only with our young people. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about our young people now, but just building the
Speaker 3: bond with our men so that they can find opportunities
Speaker 3: to have real petro You've said it, real honest conversations
Speaker 3: and just voice their opinions and get feedback and bounce
Speaker 3: off each other, because that's also important. I mean, if
Speaker 3: you're just around spewing out conversation and whatever else, then
Speaker 3: that's not necessarily helpful. But if you're being you know,
Speaker 3: you're being in an environment where you can get counsel,
Speaker 3: you can get guidance and all that kinds of stuff,
Speaker 3: and I think it really really does make a difference.
Speaker 3: So shout out to the men ministry leaders who had
Speaker 3: the floor last week and on that subject.
Speaker 8: So in my life, I've actually been met three times.
Speaker 8: First marriage, she had got a husband. My second marriage,
Speaker 8: she didn't really have a guy in my son's life.
Speaker 13: But one thing I always give my credit to my
Speaker 13: second ex wife when I because I was not there,
Speaker 13: I was not able to be.
Speaker 8: There in America. I was not to be in America.
Speaker 13: I got to put it back to Bermuda, and and
Speaker 13: my son was going he was in his teenagers, he
Speaker 13: was going through the issues. She got the elders, the pastor,
Speaker 13: she got different people to come into my son's like men,
Speaker 13: more models and men mentors that helped.
Speaker 8: My son to be a good man. You met my
Speaker 8: son Johnny Johnny when I came to visit, right, Yes,
Speaker 8: she got him.
Speaker 13: She got him help so that people to the man
Speaker 13: could be there in his life to help him, to
Speaker 13: help him to straighten his life out because he would
Speaker 13: have went down that road.
Speaker 8: So that's one thing I always I totally agree with
Speaker 8: that because.
Speaker 13: We gotta be able to let even if you don't
Speaker 13: want to have the man that you're dating in the
Speaker 13: person's life, get like a mentor, get somebody that can
Speaker 13: direct that son to help him to be a better
Speaker 13: to be a better man as he gets older, get
Speaker 13: somebody as another male that can help him, because it's
Speaker 13: not easy to be a woman.
Speaker 8: And the same thing goes with a man and a woman.
Speaker 13: I mean, if a man and a daughter, get get
Speaker 13: a woman that you don't have to be dated her,
Speaker 13: but to get somebody that can help you with the daughter,
Speaker 13: to help you through some of the things because they
Speaker 13: as teenagers and kids, we don't notice we go through
Speaker 13: little things, we become, we start maturing, we start, you know, progressing,
Speaker 13: and it's just certain thing that we need in our
Speaker 13: life that we may not be able to get from
Speaker 13: the from the other sex, from the mother or from
Speaker 13: the father.
Speaker 5: If it's.
Speaker 8: So, I totally agree with that. Yeah, what did you
Speaker 8: say you want to.
Speaker 3: Do you want to before we go on? We just
Speaker 3: want to I mean, I know we're pressed for time.
Speaker 3: Do we want to talk maybe about your raw talk
Speaker 3: a little bit about that, but and you before we do,
Speaker 3: do you did you want to add anything here?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 11: I think.
Speaker 17: Love what Pedro was just saying, yes, but actually know
Speaker 17: you said what I was going to say in terms
Speaker 17: of what we talked about last week, in terms of
Speaker 17: mental ministries, and it is about. It's about building those bonds,
Speaker 17: those relationships and offering that support and opportunities, but also
Speaker 17: giving them practical, practical help and practical ways in which
Speaker 17: they can actually make a difference in people's lives.
Speaker 3: Because sometimes we.
Speaker 17: Talk about these things and it can be quite almost
Speaker 17: surface level. But actually when they were talking about, you know,
Speaker 17: utilizing people's skills, you know, the jobs that they can
Speaker 17: do for people, or the carpentry or plumbing or use
Speaker 17: those kind of really practical skills. Because again, another thing
Speaker 17: they mentioned was about having a purpose. You know, everybody
Speaker 17: wants to think that they've got a purpose, but so
Speaker 17: many people have got no idea what that is. And
Speaker 17: if you're not striving to find what that is, we've
Speaker 17: got people around you can help explore that and help
Speaker 17: you develop that. That's a really tricky thing. So again,
Speaker 17: you know, giving somebody purpose or you know, allowing them
Speaker 17: to feel that they have a purpose, and then it's
Speaker 17: practically used, they can see the instant results or the
Speaker 17: impact that's going to go a long way.
Speaker 11: So yeah, that all things into a lot.
Speaker 3: Of that perfect Thank you so much for that, Angie,
Speaker 3: doctor g The coming back to you and you name
Speaker 3: drop I mean I don't usually name drop, but you've
Speaker 3: dropped some names, some heavy hitters in the motivational space
Speaker 3: and looking forward to what God is doing for you
Speaker 3: with you what's next? And so tell me what what?
Speaker 6: Because we have aspiring.
Speaker 3: Influences on theline, we have people who want to make
Speaker 3: their name great. We want we have future motivational speakers listening.
Speaker 3: What what's the responsibility you think it's been placed on
Speaker 3: you for speaking into people's lives? How? How how do
Speaker 3: you view that just kind of narrowing down, closing out,
Speaker 3: but pulling the curtains down. I mean, this is a
Speaker 3: huge responsibility. I mean I think of it in terms
Speaker 3: of even having this platform talking point.
Speaker 6: It's it's a.
Speaker 3: Tool that we can use to really have the conversations.
Speaker 3: In fact, it's our tagline the conversations you need to have.
Speaker 3: What what is it that you feel is your responsibility
Speaker 3: as a motivated wrong speaker. What is it that your
Speaker 3: goal is ultimately.
Speaker 1: Ultimately you know being in a keynote speaker and my
Speaker 1: niche is motivational speaking and inspirational speaking. I say it's
Speaker 1: the great responsibility because I understand that one word could
Speaker 1: change your life.
Speaker 3: So that's again.
Speaker 13: Not for real.
Speaker 1: I'm very serious. One word could interrupt a life true story.
Speaker 1: I was doing a live a young lady, well, a gentleman.
Speaker 1: He was an NYPD cop.
Speaker 3: Because most of you are following just to say there
Speaker 3: is us, yeah, because she was.
Speaker 1: He was in America and he he came on Live
Speaker 1: and he was sitting in bed. I remember it like yesterday.
Speaker 1: He said, listen, man, I watch your stuff and you've
Speaker 1: changed my life, you know, and basically thank you to
Speaker 1: showing gratitude and what I do. A couple of weeks later,
Speaker 1: I saw his life. He was in the in the
Speaker 1: life chat and he came up, but the lady was
Speaker 1: a person that had the phone, had his phone, was saying,
Speaker 1: we found your messages, found your videos that he saved.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, and just went to let you know.
Speaker 11: He died.
Speaker 1: He got he died in the line of judy.
Speaker 3: Now he was.
Speaker 1: Uh sober. That was one of the reasons. I think
Speaker 1: he was like two years sober or something like that.
Speaker 1: And he was saying I helped him to get through that. Wow,
Speaker 1: but died in line of judy. That's your job, you know,
Speaker 1: being a cop. But not look what happens the sister.
Speaker 1: I think it was that far on the phone and
Speaker 1: probably going through your stuff now finds me and she's
Speaker 1: going through grief.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 1: She is one of my number one supports and she
Speaker 1: loves my work and I'm blessing her life. So it's
Speaker 1: just everything one word and that word. Let me just
Speaker 1: say this and I say this, yes, uh, you know
Speaker 1: you talk about tough love. Remember the word that comes
Speaker 1: out with your mouth. You can't take it back. You
Speaker 1: have to know that what comes out of your mouth
Speaker 1: could define the person that you're speaking to. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a huge responsibility. I don't show up
Speaker 1: to any in any platforms. I don't go to any
Speaker 1: in any event. I do my research because I gotta.
Speaker 1: I know what they what they believe in, what they
Speaker 1: what they struck, what they're structures about. And you know,
Speaker 1: I wanna talk about this word toxic because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people use this word. Oh he's toxic, she's toxic.
Speaker 1: Let me be honest with you, We're all toxic. If nobody,
Speaker 1: if nobody ever said it, let me be the first
Speaker 1: to say it, say doctor G saying we're all toxic.
Speaker 1: But there's only some people that execute it and let
Speaker 1: it be seen publicly. And the reason why I say
Speaker 1: that is when you say you're toxic, you're defining somebody's life.
Speaker 1: You're telling somebody that they're toxic. Do you know what
Speaker 1: you're telling them? You're you're you're unclean, You're you're you
Speaker 1: cannot come out of you can't change. You just put
Speaker 1: that person in a place where I don't use that.
Speaker 1: I can't say that. What I do say is we
Speaker 1: get into situations, dark places that the light is not
Speaker 1: there anymore, and then we become so you know, for me,
Speaker 1: it is everything. When I speak, I speak and I
Speaker 1: tell you I see people cry, I see people transform,
Speaker 1: I see people in a moment, and it's not because
Speaker 1: of me. And I say this, now, it's not because
Speaker 1: of me, and you call them some people. Let me
Speaker 1: say this. If you want you want to be a
Speaker 1: motivational speaker, you want to be a life coach, you
Speaker 1: want to be a person that empowers people, there are
Speaker 1: some spirit that you don't deal with. And I know
Speaker 1: the spirit I have. So when you come around my spirit,
Speaker 1: you will be transformed. Because all you need is one word.
Speaker 1: And sometimes some people just so so so it is
Speaker 1: it is a huge responsibility. And as I said, you
Speaker 1: I could. I think when when Facebook sent me the email,
Speaker 1: it was like a thing that you're now an influencer.
Speaker 1: They told me. I didn't know, I didn't even thought
Speaker 1: about it. Is that you're now even and now you
Speaker 1: can earn revenue. And then I got paid and like
Speaker 1: I said, WAITSTA got paid me for doing what I love,
Speaker 1: for doing the thing that they told me that I
Speaker 1: couldn't do.
Speaker 6: So now who was that?
Speaker 1: That's not me, that's God. So I say I say
Speaker 1: this with all respect for everybody that you aspiring to
Speaker 1: do this, just remember this when you leave the room,
Speaker 1: remember that you've left something there. Can you say that?
Speaker 1: Can you say that, Okay, I left and you're gonna
Speaker 1: call back now you're okay, Then you shouldn't have been there.
Speaker 1: And that's that. I always say this because to my
Speaker 1: clients and when I speak to them, they say, listen
Speaker 1: when when you leave, I'm different, and I want to
Speaker 1: say something. On a side note, coaches, right, because of
Speaker 1: my coach, if you have to keep going back to
Speaker 1: your coach, then stop paying that coach. Hey, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: stopping somebody. I'll stop somebody's money, right, somebody's money, just
Speaker 1: stop listen if you got to keep going back to
Speaker 1: that coach. And I say, because he says that in love, No,
Speaker 1: on a real level. I'll tell you why. Because when
Speaker 1: when g Jesus met anyone, he told him go now, Yes,
Speaker 1: isn't it. So I want to say this, when you
Speaker 1: come into my speaking in my environment, I could tell
Speaker 1: you go now because I know that the spirit that
Speaker 1: was with me is now with you. And that's the
Speaker 1: difference between who I who who the other some coaches
Speaker 1: and me because I know who I stand for, who
Speaker 1: I believe in, and I know I put God first
Speaker 1: in everything. So so for me it is a huge
Speaker 1: responsibility because as I say, he takes one word, one
Speaker 1: word that somebody decides Monday morning, which is I want
Speaker 1: to tell you guys, if you know it is the
Speaker 1: highest suicidal rate his Monday morning. Monday morning, they're going
Speaker 1: to a job that they don't want to go to
Speaker 1: or probably leaving a job that they don't want to be.
Speaker 1: And I say this to everybody in the sound of
Speaker 1: my voice. You have greatness inside of you. You have
Speaker 1: something that God has put inside of you before you
Speaker 1: were born. He knew you, He flames you. He shaped you,
Speaker 1: and he blessed you with something. And sometimes doors have
Speaker 1: to close to wake you up. Sometimes you got to
Speaker 1: be homeless. Sometimes you got to get a broken heart.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to have that black hole to tell
Speaker 1: you listen, it's about time that you see me. Who
Speaker 1: is the light, Who is the one that can guide you?
Speaker 1: So for anybody else that wants to step into this
Speaker 1: world is not It's not a world where for fame
Speaker 1: and glamor some people say. I had this conversation, why
Speaker 1: would a star take his own life? Somebody with millions
Speaker 1: of pounds. We're talking Aboutney Houston, We're talking about that
Speaker 1: lady that Amy Why. I think about why? Why would they?
Speaker 1: They got it?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: And people of Fabagasket why? Because when you separate yourself
Speaker 1: from God, you are nothing.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the word to end right there. Oh perfect.
Speaker 3: When you separate yourself from God, you are nothing. And
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. I recently did a
Speaker 3: live with a gentleman. And if you haven't seen anyone listening,
Speaker 3: find my page and listen to it. He again, rubbing
Speaker 3: shoulders with the greats. You know, he's met some of
Speaker 3: the biggest names in business, entertainment, sport, and I spoke
Speaker 3: to him and he said to me, I didn't think
Speaker 3: it would happen to me. It's in essence. He wound
Speaker 3: up in a mental institute, psychiatric hospital, and he said
Speaker 3: to me. We started the conversation with I did not
Speaker 3: in a million years think it would happen to me.
Speaker 3: There's nothing in my background, nothing in my genes, nothing
Speaker 3: in this, nothing in that. I thought I had it all.
Speaker 3: I thought I had it, you know, the strength that whatever,
Speaker 3: to the network, whatever it is, to be able to
Speaker 3: face whatever came. And it struck me then that it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what we think we have, who we think
Speaker 3: we know, the accolades, the names, the dots behind our name,
Speaker 3: the figures in our bank account. It doesn't matter any
Speaker 3: of that if we do not have God. And let
Speaker 3: me tell you, just so you're clear, that's some of us,
Speaker 3: because suicide is in the church. Let us keep it
Speaker 3: real that because we have God does not mean that
Speaker 3: we will not hit rock bottom. But like you said,
Speaker 3: we have a hope, and sometimes that's where He puts
Speaker 3: us so that he can creat us.
Speaker 12: So I think.
Speaker 1: You're no longer the same. You're in the prisons of greatest.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this and I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Greatness allows you to see God because God is great.
Speaker 1: He doesn't deal with mediocrity. Somebody said, okay, he riding
Speaker 1: a donkey. Why didn't he? Why did he have to
Speaker 1: ride in a donkey? Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Humility allows you to reach everybody. I say again one
Speaker 1: more time. Humility allows you to reach everybody. And this
Speaker 1: message is for everybody. So what is not for just
Speaker 1: it's not for the poor, it's not for those with
Speaker 1: the education. It doesn't have everybody have dark places. And
Speaker 1: you know there's a picture going around on social media
Speaker 1: there's two graves that's tagging. Then they put a house
Speaker 1: with it with a millionaire and then another one with
Speaker 1: a poor house. They both go to the same place.
Speaker 1: They all gonna end up the same place. We came
Speaker 1: out the same way. We're certainly gonna leave the same way.
Speaker 1: What we do now while we're here, I say the
Speaker 1: two candidates, there's one that you die when you're alive
Speaker 1: and when you die when you die. I don't want
Speaker 1: to die twice, So I'm going to live so that
Speaker 1: I want to live to a point where you will
Speaker 1: remember me and my name will echo in eternity that
Speaker 1: I was here. So then when I'm gone, you would know. Listen,
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, you talk about the great, say you know
Speaker 1: these people did stuff that we want build, we build
Speaker 1: on them, So why not you? Why not talking point this?
Speaker 5: This is?
Speaker 1: This is what it's about. And when I start seeing
Speaker 1: what God would showing me. Who told me how to
Speaker 1: write five books like for real?
Speaker 5: For real?
Speaker 1: Who I did not have that on the agenda? Who
Speaker 1: told her become an influencer? Listen, I tell you another thing.
Speaker 1: I told your traveling to speak. I went back to Monster.
Speaker 1: I gott to bring it in. I gotta bring in.
Speaker 1: I knew you didn't talk about he went back. I
Speaker 1: went back to Monster. And this is remember like for
Speaker 1: those who know, I went to the adventy school with
Speaker 1: Monster cark Kill now vanished, now gone. I made a
Speaker 1: video with my daughter when I took her home, and
Speaker 1: that kind of went the little viral and people was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: why would I you know it's gone dere lick and
Speaker 1: there's a Bible inside the school because we had to
Speaker 1: run and leave. So I took your guy in my home.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this. Yes, I didn't steal it.
Speaker 1: It's gone, it's abandoned. I just wanted something. I just
Speaker 1: I just want something to memorabilia. Let me just say this.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to say this. When they invited me
Speaker 1: back to speak, I cried. I cried these children And
Speaker 1: there was one particular child. While I was speaking, she
Speaker 1: something touched her. She left the room and went upstairs,
Speaker 1: just out on the finished and started to cry, and
Speaker 1: the teachers run after her, and I said, leave her.
Speaker 1: Something happened there, one word. And I'm so happy to
Speaker 1: this day that that happened because now she's doing well,
Speaker 1: she's doing amazing, you know.
Speaker 4: So it is.
Speaker 1: I know it's a huge responsibility. Is not something that
Speaker 1: you think is for fame or glory because I get
Speaker 1: I get all kinds of messages. Man, I get people
Speaker 1: from all walks of life, and I can't answer oh
Speaker 1: some of them. I tried to reach all of them.
Speaker 1: But there are people out there that was going to
Speaker 1: dark places and they need to hear your voice and
Speaker 1: knowing that your voice is a voice that represents God.
Speaker 1: And there's nothing to do with me. It's all God.
Speaker 1: So you know, for me, I wish everybody that wants
Speaker 1: to take this journey. And you don't have to be
Speaker 1: a speaker. You could be a painter. I tried to
Speaker 1: say it before. You could be an actor. Take the journey,
Speaker 1: but don't leave God out of it.
