For Christians, faith is everything. They turn to their faith in good times and in bad. They entrust everything they do to God. However, there are people who either do not have faith or are not sure what they believe in, a common phenomenon in the age of social media. Today we should remember that faith is personal; it’s something you seek and not forced to come to you.
In this episode, we talk to Rashawn Copeland, a minister and the author of Start Where You Are. He shares the traumatic experiences he went through growing up and how they led to him writing his book. Rashawn also talks about his stint as Soulja Boy’s hype man and how to grow your social media following to help get your message across. Finally, he shares his ultimate goal of making love go viral and what that entails.
If you want to be a grace-driven follower of Christ, this episode is for you.
