In today's episode, I'm taking y'll all the way back to to my days in Brooklyn — and all the way forward to this week's NBA Draft — because God's timeline is nothing short of miraculous. I'm sharing a personal testimony and it starts with a basketball goal in my daddy's yard and ends with me watching one of my former players have his NBA dreams come true. Everything in between? That was ALL God. A stranger in a grocery store. A field trip I didn't plan. A scholarship that got cut in half. Lonely college nights with nothing but the Bible and Matthew 6:34 to hold onto. A private Catholic school in the mountains of Central PA that changed my life. A decade of pouring into young men in the Atlanta area. All of it — every valley, every redirect, every test — was part of the plan.

But this episode isn't just my story. It's many of our stories. If you're in the middle of your life's ocean right now with no life jacket in sight, I need you to hear this: your natural instinct is to FIGHT. Don't lay down. Don't give up. Even when the armor of God is on, the arrows still sting — but that doesn't mean He failed you. It means He wants to see what you're going to do. Call your lifeline. Ask for prayer. Sit with somebody. Seek Him first.

You are not alone, FAM. You have never been alone. Tap in to this episode and then pass it to somebody who needs to hear it today. Drop me a comment, shoot me a text, and let me know what part of this testimony hit home for you. Let's keep building together. 💪🏾
