“You were created in the image of God, the God that created the entire universe. And so by default, you are incredible.” -M. Curtis McCoy

If you're like many people who have experienced abuse, you may have lost faith in yourself and in the world around you. Abuse can leave victims feeling broken, lost, and alone. It can be hard to imagine a life beyond the abuse, but it is possible to heal and rebuild your life. It will take time, patience, and courage, but it is possible to regain your faith, self-love, and self-esteem.

M. Curtis McCoy still remembers his father’s words while handing him a gun: “Do the world a favor”. Those words hurt more than the physical abuse he suffered throughout his childhood. He couldn’t understand why his own father would want him dead. But instead of giving up, he decided to be different— to be a good person. Today, Curtis is “doing the world a favor” by serving others as an entrepreneur, influencer, keynote speaker, best-selling author, & TV show host. 

Listen in as Dr. Fred and Curtis share how we can turn our painful past into a testimony of victory. They also discuss how we can find strength when we feel like we’re only hanging by a thread, why we should not give up easily when other people tell us that there is no hope left for us, how we can recognize God’s hand when we are in the dark, and the greatest evidence that we have inherent worth and value.
