I received salvation when I was 13yrs old in Macon Ga. I received God at a young age and was still trying to figure this salvation thing out. I had al ot of voids that I was still trying to fill and I filled them with the wrong things. Drinking, smoking, clubbing, etc. The moment I realized I was suppose to get God involved in every aspect of my life, thats when my life changed. I've been in the trenches winning souls to Christ for over 20yrs, and I've come to know that EVERYBODY NEEDS A SAVIOR! It brings about faith, it encourages you, it inspires you. Christ is their to help guide you along this journey called Life. The foundation scripture is found in Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.Be sure to check out TheGatheringOfTheLions.com for more real conversations that sharpen, strengthen, and support.Follow the podcast on YouTube and all social media platforms @TheGatheringOfTheLions.This is your village.

This conversation is a raw, unfiltered moment where the layers came off. Its not about titles, roles, or posturing—it is about being human, being a man, and acknowledging the weight that comes with that. It’s a call to action, not just to be strong, but to be honest. To say, “I don’t have it all together,” and still be seen. Still be supported.It’s about breaking the silence men often carry, creating a space where brotherhood becomes the healing balm—where iron sharpens iron. The message was clear: real strength isn’t about standing alone, it’s about knowing when to reach for your village.Be sure to check out TheGatheringOfTheLions.com for more real conversations that sharpen, strengthen, and support.Follow the podcast on YouTube and all social media platforms @TheGatheringOfTheLions.This is your village.
