In this episode of The Unleashed Life, Dr. Renée Baker sits down with Dr. Christopher King, human rights leader, philanthropist, and Marine Corps veteran, to explore the journey from pain to purpose.

Dr. King shares how a troubled youth, shaped by darkness and difficult choices, became the foundation for a life devoted to service, healing, and advocacy for survivors of human trafficking. Drawing from military discipline, deep personal accountability, and the influence of his grandfather, the legendary B.B. King, he reflects on the meaning of legacy, the necessity of self-love, and why healing yourself is often the first step to helping others.

This conversation challenges listeners to rethink relationships, resilience, and responsibility while highlighting The Gentleman’s Course's mission to mentor and empower young people to make better life choices.
