"Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world… If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm." - DR. STEPHEN R. COVEY

God made us with innate gifts that are so powerful in making an impact for ourselves, our families and our communities. For us to fully embrace these gifts, we need to have a paradigm shift as concerns what we believe we are capable of doing and the transformation we can bring to our organisations as leaders.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of investing as much time and talent as we invest money ,and how that marries with the word of God in reference to 1st Peter 4:7-11.

My word of the year is REALIGN. I am synchronizing my heart, body and soul by being intentional with my routines, staying grounded in my faith and reading a little more.

In today's episode we are digging into a book that is an immense eye-opener, I'm Still Here; Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness. This book rattles transformative conversations on truth, past and present hurt, and how we can become unified in igniting change. This is the heat we are bringing today.

If the heat gets too much in this episode, don't get out of this kitchen. Grab the book and get comfortable because we are here to change the narrative. The Amazon link is below.

The Book

Our 100th episode is not a recap of 2021. It is more than that. It is a reflection of our 3 year journey of being Moxie and the plans we have for you as we soldier on with 2022.

Our hope was, and still is, for you to find a home here. We want you, friends, to build a community; a community that challenges truth and embraces vulnerable conversations. We will be holding transformative talks on life, struggles, faith, what failing forward is, wins, building friendships that are transparent, and so much more topic-oriented conversations.

We have so much more news and updates on the direction the Moxie podcast is taking for 2022. Listen in and get all the gist!

We love you friends and are so expectant to see these conversations ignite impact in us and our communities.

Gary and Lisa-Marie Black have been married for nearly two decades, raising their blended family from pre-school to now adults with their own families. When they married, Lisa was a young widow with two young daughters, and Gary lost his first marriage and took full custody of his three small boys. When they married, their sixth treasured child, Noah, was quickly added. The Black family was now a blending of hearts, of souls, of vision and calling that would prove to be both miraculous and tragic. Following the years into their marriage, the tragic suicide of their 19-year-old son Michael Ryan Black threatened to silence the Black's voice through grief and despair, yet only furthered their resolve to fight for those who feel lost and unseen amongst the chaos of a broken world. Their past and future journeys of overcoming loss of loved ones would turn out to be the gift and calling of their lives together.

In this episode, the Blacks talk about their life story that has had a fair share of painful moments , but also powerful healing and transformation.
