My Heart
- As I grew both in the Lord and in age, I noticed the significant impact my walk, words, and fatherhood had on young people observing me. Oftentimes, I was ministering to them and didn’t realize it until they brought it to my attention. When I am around young men with issues, I feel their pain and begin to reach out, poke, and pry in hopes of getting to the real problem and offering solutions. I believe that a lot of our issues seen in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities are directly attributed to the lack of boys growing to become men. My heart is to help assist in that transition so our families can begin to flourish as God has ordained them to.
