Today’s podcast episode is with Special Guest David Vincent: Founder/CEO of the nonprofit Warriors Inc. https://warriorscenter.org/

What you will learn in this episode:

1. The taller the skyscraper, the deeper the foundation needs to be. Paraphrased from Founder/CEO, David Vincent of the nonprofit, Warrior’s Inc, the deeper the pain from your past, the higher your potential to rise and the greater your potential to impact.

2. Channeling your pain into an even greater purpose is a powerful aid in your healing and recovery journey.

3. When you help others heal, you heal too.

4. From website: The Warrior’s Center was founded on the remarkable life story of our founder, David Vincent. As a child, he suffered tremendous child abuse and pain. Unable to overcome these challenges, David was consumed by violence, drugs and criminal behavior on the streets of Memphis. His first brush with the law was at four years old and he later began breaking into houses at the age of nine. By adulthood he had become a career criminal. By the age of twenty-two, he was wanted in four states. Later, after over thirty arrest and eighteen felony charges, David was in jail awaiting prison. It was there that he experienced the love and mercy of Jesus Christ on a cold jail cell floor while he was crying out to God. After being miraculously released his life finally turned around. Overcoming tremendous adversity to become a “Trophy of God’s Grace”, David dedicated his life to helping others who were battling many of the same challenges that he had faced for so many years. He started bible studies in his neighborhood, worked with troubled youth and began outreaches to the homeless. Later in October of 1999, David began taking homeless men into his home and teamed up with two friends, (Paul Brown & Dustin Prewitt), to start the Warriors Center. Together they felt there was a great need in the Memphis area for a powerful faith-based program that would help restore broken lives. The program was structured to teach men how their lives could be changed by “Seeking God and Helping Others”. This was the same path that helped David to obtain freedom from his horrible past and find redemption by reaching out to others. Compelled by a vision to impact broken lives by addressing hurting people’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs, the Warriors Center has now grown into a phenomenal frontline’s ministry with multiple men’s and women’s recovery programs in the Mid-South.

What I discuss:

💫When we look at all of the dark things [triggers, secrets…our shadows] + own them, we are able to shed light and be our true authentic self.

🤍The heart behind this episode: 🤍

Your shadow is where you’re not showing up with love for yourself. You cannot spiritually bypass your own darkness and be a light.

What you will learn in this episode:

🤍Being your true self allows for real connections to resonate with you.

What I discuss:

💫Be authentically you to attract the people, situations, and opportunities that are meant for you.

💫When your life is in alignment you feel at peace and natural relationships arise organically and effortlessly.

💫 Substances take us away from our healing and authentic self.

💫When we begin the honest journey of healing ourselves, are we able and given the opportunity to heal others. There’s a ripple effect of healing.

🤍The heart behind this episode: 🤍

Clarity and authenticity act like a magnet. It attracts people, situations, opportunities and they are all aligned with your goals.

What you will learn in this episode:

💫We can feel empty because our innocence was stolen from us. It takes healing the layers to feel whole.

💫I share about a recent visit with a Mississippi nonprofit, the Warriors Center for Women. Visiting this nonprofit was a financial and emotional investment, but it fills my heart and my mission.

💫 I share a poem I wrote, No More Walls.

🤍 The heart behind this episode 🤍

When you heal other people, you heal yourself, too.
