Still Saved Show

One of my favorite people and youth pastors from Houston's iconic Fallbrook Church cleared his schedule to tell it all!!  The amount of lessons learned from his college experiences, hoop dreams, almost playing with the Harlem Globetrotters, to working for companies like Enterprise Rental Car, and even the Houston Railroad were beyond impactful!  
Learning to move at the pace of grace and follow God's lead in all things has become a discipline that has completely changed my life, and it was refreshing hearing how it has shaped Spencer's!
The stories shared in this episode were unbelievable especially once he revealed how God set up him and his wife!
So fun, so powerful, and so so real! 

Gene Moore is truly a Gospel Goat in his own right!  He has contributed so much to the industry, achieved great success, recognition, and acclaim with his work with Motown Gospel.  However, beyond the music, Gene is a truly a man who has walked with God and allowed that walk to pour into his craft.  He truly practices what he preaches and it is evident in his work, especially his latest project INTROSPECTION, a EP full of emotion, stories and self reflection!
Gene's relationship with God and faith has not only been an anchor through challenging times, but a source of inspiration and a compass guiding him through life.
during this sit down Dave and Gene open up about the slippery slope of depression and anxiety and how God can carry your through regardless of how dark and difficult the situation.

What does it take to be successful?  Is it money...?  Relationships...?  Intelligence and intellect...?  or prestige and positioning...?  Some would argue all the above.  However, after sitting down with my good friend William Cumby long time devoted minister at the Fountain of Praise in Houston, TX, mentor, leader, speaker and husband and father I discovered the that the most important ingredient to success and fulfillment boils down to HUNGER!  Ones desire to chase their dreams, their desperation to see their hopes fulfilled in the midst of opposition and one's determination to strive for what they believe is what separates the successful and unsuccessful.
Will taught me so much in this short amount of time through his transparency and lessons from life and personal experience!

March Madness can easily be considered the Super Bowl of college basketball!  And with so much hype surrounding the NCAA tournament, it was an honor to sit down with the founder of one of my all time personal events and initiatives, Travis L. Williams from the HBCU All Star Game!
Travis is one of the most passionate people I know, who truly practices what he preaches, and doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk!
We dove deep into the heart and soul of the HBCU All Star Game on TSU's H&PE Arena which is where the game will be held on April 2nd, 2023.  HBCU All-Stars LLC mission is showcasing “The Best in Black College Basketball in HBCU All-Star Game Experiences, bringing much-needed exposure, visibility, & recognition to outstanding, talented, and hard-working HBCU student-athletes, and brilliant coaches from around the country.
Travis broke down the breakthrough in his own life which inspired and motivated him to overcome obstacles and strive to pursue an incredibly successful career as an acclaimed college coach who has impacted the lives of so many student athletes on and off the court!

It is goin down on the Still Saved Show!  This week we are "Developing Dreams" with Isaiah Parks, the founder of The Session - an innovative music platform for budding artists. Isaiah is also an artist manager and digital creator who strives to put God first in all his endeavors.

This week Isaiah shares his journey through the music industry and the ups and downs and curve balls that life throws our way. He speaks candidly about how God had to develop him before he could even think about developing other artists. Isaiah's personal testimony is both relatable and encouraging as he speaks to the challenges of balancing faith, career, and life.

We're truly inspired by Isaiah's unwavering commitment to God, his passion for music, and his desire to support other artists on their own unique paths. Isaiah's story is a testament to the power of faith, hard work, and perseverance, and will leave you feeling motivated to pursue your own dreams and passions.

So much can be said of Dr Eric Thomas - the #1 motivational speaker in the world who has empowered and motivated so many across the globe.  Above all E is a humble human being who genuinely practices what he preaches on a daily basis!  
E stopped by the studio to help us ignite our power, purpose and our why as he broke down the breakthrough behind his latest New York Times bestselling book YOU OWE YOU!

What would you do if you received an eviction notice just moments before your own movie premier??  Or how would you handle being #43 in a casting call for your next movie roll??  
Most people would give up, walk out, or cancel all together!  But not Dakarai Akil, actor, director, writer, producer, artist who when faced with adversity decided to advance with courage and confidence!
That courageous confidence allowed Dakarai to advance to big time rolls in major motion pictures, directing and producing feature films!
Dakarai's story is one for the record books, and the dope part is that it is still being written!  

Dr Rickie Bradshaw, pastor of First Southwest Baptist Church in Houston, has traveled to over 50 countries spreading the Gospel, he's perched to hundreds of thousands, planted hundreds of church across the globe and helped launch many more her in the states!!! He's a father, husband, director of prayer, and respected and daughter after thought leader in Houston's vibrant evangelical community.
It's hard to imagine that this influential man of God was once a cognac drinking, cocaine snorting, cigarette smoking guy from the streets of 5th Ward, Texas!  Pastor Bradshaw candidly opens up about his life before encountering the transforming power Gods love and how his longing for family and belonging led him to spiral out of control almost losing the very thing he so desperately desired, his family! 
Dr Bradshaw's story of faith, transformation and triumph is a true testament to the power of God's grace and deliverance which is still moving in the lives of those who hunger and thirst for Him and His kingdom!

Parenting is by far one of the most daunting and challenging responsibilities on the planet!!  Yet, it is equally rewarding when handled with care!  Dr. Timothy Sloan joins the Still Saved family to discuss his latest project Closer to You which he co-authored with his amazing daughter Sarah!  Closer to You is a devotional for dad's and daughters designed to bring them closer to God and ultimately closer to each other!  Almost all dad's can attest that as our children (especially our baby girls) grow older it proves to be more and more challenging to connect and relate...  I'm sure many daughters can say the exact same thing.
However, this conversation proves that it is possible to strengthen the relationship between parents and children by investing the right amount of time and attention. 
As a father of 5 I was completely moved and motivated throughout the entire dialogue and encourage every parent to share this with other parents and grab a copy of the Closer to You to enjoy with your children!
