  • Winning Minds 2020.05 with Javy Gaona *1 of 2

    When he was 13 years old, the healthy, happy life he lived was turned upside down and within a few years became, as he describes it, reckless. In this episode I talk with Javy Gaona about his tumultuous middle and high school years, and what that led to after high school. 

    But now he is winning, thanks to a critical decision and a new way of looking at accountability and responsibility.

  • 2020.04 Hurl Steward: From the Streets to the Pulpit (His True Story)
    On this episode you going to hear a man who not only made difficult changes while suffering painful criticism, but also a man whose heart is large and humble. Hurl said, “The very same people who were putting me down and talking about me began to call me up and say, ‘Tell me what you did…I want to change my life.’” He also points out personal responsibility, saying, “I had to make some decisions. I had to change some things.” I encourage you to listen to this episode twice because I guarantee you will catch some things the second time, and even more as you continue thinking about his words and story. For me, it was how Good Decisions changed his own mind, which resulted in changing the minds of the people around him.

  • 2020.03 Cedrick Paschal: Real Life Story of an Ex-Racist (2 of 2)
    This is part 2 of a two part series with Cedrick Paschal, a black man raised and still living in Athens, GA. This episode we get into more of his story and specifically how he has been able to succeed and WIN in the sensitive and difficult area of race-relations. I understand this is not everyone’s story, but I believe his in particular is very powerful and enlightening, and I hope it is useful to you.

    Did you ever hear the story about the baby born in Bethlehem whose family had to move because of potential threats against his life? No, I’m not talking about Jesus.

  • 2020.01 Gelson da Cunha: Trouble and Trust
    From age 16 until age 19, his life experience went from a young man in a happy home to a broken home, to a crime statistic. But now he is happily married with children and becoming a powerful, positive influence in his community. A big part of Gelson learning to WIN in life was realizing the value of authority and discipline, love and affirmation, and deciding who he should trust to be a healthy role model for himself. “You only really change when you change your mind.”
