It is easy to tell someone to leave an abusive relationship but it's so much more than just simply walking away. Once you do leave, you have to make a decision and learn how  to trust yourself to make the right decisions after years of sexual, physical and/or emotional abuse. There is no magic formula that works for everyone.  It takes great strength and perseverance to rise above life's challenges and choose life once again.

Despite the challenges she faced and feeling like a failure at times Denver persevered to become a successful writer, speaker and public relations professional. She has served more than 20 years working as a spokesperson, media consultant and planner for the Department of Defense and the federal government.  What does it take to change your thinking about how you deserve to be treated and who you are as a person?  Tune in as Denver shares the why behind her desire to live and thrive with dignity and repsect, the daily challenges she still faces and how she chooses everyday to be a decisive woman who rises above the storm.

  There are so many factors influencing our children to grow up faster and experience things in life much sooner then we may have had to. In many cases they are getting direction from the media, friends and video games that may not be providing the guidance needed to truly grow into productive members of society and to live amazing, fulfilling lives. Men once had a certain to role to play in society, one that some believe is slowly fading away as they fall victim to the challenges life places in front of them. Every boy should become a man. Age does not make one a man. How he chooses to live his life and the decisions he makes – that becomes the measure of a man. The path to manhood is one that should be carefully navigated but many stumble along the way. Our guest this week, Eric Elliott, has a mission to assist "Boys" with Godly guidance on their journey to manhood and to help those that may have fallen off the path to know there is hope – Do Not Give Up!  Eric is an author, speaker, husband and father who, on several occasions in his own life could have easily thrown in the towel and choose a life that would have taken him on a much different path. Instead he stayed strong in his faith using his pain and experiences for victory. His book, “Onward to Manhood: Establishing Godly Masculinity” serves as a blueprint that lays the foundation for the journey to manhood. In his words “in the soul of every man, there is a tug-of-war between insanity and divinity. The winner is...the one you feed the most. “Tune in to Let's Coach as Eric shares how to negotiate and navigate the journey of manhood and how every boy can achieve success and win his very own tug-of-war.
