Episode 50

Please be warned that this podcast has some topics in it that are only suitable for Adults and Teens over 17. If you have not listened to part 1 of this powerful interview I strongly encourage you to do so. Once again in this Podcast, I have the honor of interviewing a man who at a very young age suffered tragedy, which triggered a path of confusion and uncertainty. As I sit down with Jeffrey and listen to what he went through growing up and part of his adult life; you will be gripped on the edge of your seat as he shares what life was like for him as a Transgender. As he ventured on a path of destruction, God had a different plan for his life and healed him of his lifestyle. Now Jeffrey shares his story around the country and throughout the internet as well as other forms of media including YouTube. He has also spoken at conferences and in a Christian Magazine. With the goal to help others in his shoes to be victorious through Jesus Christ. My prayer is that this 2 part podcast interview will impact your life and open your eyes to how God can intervene in your life no matter what you went through, or still going through. God is able to rescue us, we just have to call on His name and answer His Call. God Bless You and yours. We look forward to reading your comments. Also please share this with as many people as you can, thank you.

Episode 34

(Part 1 of 3)

Many of you know that my Mother passed away in March of this year (2019) and I haven’t stopped running since. Today as I will be sharing this podcast I had to and still am learning some valuable lessons about the grieving process. There is no fine science about losing a loved one. We all grieve differently and that is part of why no two situations are the same. Losing a loved one is definitely not easy, my Mother was amazing and we were very blessed growing up with her being home with us. Dad had a very good job so we grew up with Mom being home every day. She truly was a great example of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Of what Love is:

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

When she passed she went peacefully with the entire family being together. What followed for me was what I describe as breaking the rules of grieving. First of all, I hope some of you will learn from my mistakes even though I meant well. If you do not listen and take to heart anything I am about to share please listen to this part. If you lose a loved one never, ever, ever make important decisions that can affect your life in a major way. 2 of those are never change: careers and never sell your home within that time period. My wife wanted to do for me exactly what I had done for her years ago and move us near my Father. This was a wonderful gesture and unfortunately, we started moving forward with this idea on our actual emotions instead of wisdom. I even went as far as telling family and friends and sadly I got people’s hopes up, especially my Father. The end result is we ended up realizing we were acting in our own emotions and decided not to move. The good news was Dad fully understood and agreed with the fact that we acted too soon based on our emotions after Moms passing.

Looking back I wish I knew a couple of months ago what I know now so that I wouldn’t have jumped so quickly. We are very thankful though that my wife did not leave her job and that we still have our home. I am learning now that all this time since my Mother passed away I had never stopped to allow myself to grieve; I had been so busy with life and stuff, that I never took the time to Be Still and allow the process to take place. Have you experienced the same thing? Be sure to leave a comment I would love to hear from you. My prayer is that this podcast will help you in some way with the grieving process. God Bless You and Yours!

Episode 65

Thank you for tuning in to this very important Podcast.

DISCLAIMER: Please understand that even though the podcast is about Bullying we (Stephen Lewis, Isaiah Milliard, and Austin Bixler) are not acting as if we are perfect. In fact all three of us admit to having been bullied as well as switched rolls and are also guilty of bullying others. We regret our actions and in no way are trying to perceive that we are better than anyone else. The bottom line is, this is an important subject that needs to be addressed and I plan on doing more shows in the future.

Bullying is defined as to treat (someone) in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion. And can come in different forms. Verbal, Physical, Using the Internet through Social Media (Cyber). The results can be devastating, causing some Children and Adults to become insecure, depressed, stressed, feeling rejected, having anxiety and even causing death by suicide. Many are already addressing this important issue all around the world, but we need to be more active in our own communities. My prayer is that this podcast series will challenge, teach and raise awareness in every listener. It’s time to be alert at school, in the work place, at home and even in our neighborhoods. If you see someone alone, go and be friendly, strike up positive conversation and help make a difference. Lastly remember if you see someone being bullied and do nothing then you are just as guilty and part of the problem. It’s time to step up folks we need to look out for one another. Enjoy the Show, God Bless You and Yours,
