“I'm most proud that after all of this time, after all, The years of marriage. 40 years of ministry. I'm proud that my wife can sit on the front row on Sunday morning. Hear me preach and genuinely say Amen because she knows the man and she can still respect the man. Love the man.”

“So many decisions I had to make along the way. But I think the defining moment Was accepting God's love for me in spite of myself. That was important because we can think of all the reasons why we don't deserve the kind of love that God gives redemptively, sacrificially, and unconditionally. And once I accepted my value in God's eyes, that settled everything for me. And it didn't require me to be affirmed or approved by people. Because now the divine approval is there.”

“Fear, fear of the unknown, fear that drives us to be shaped in our thinking by stereotypes, by prejudices, by biases, by things that we don't even know about the other person. That's why I love to sit down and have a person tell me your story. And I've done that with so many people from so many walks of life, people with lifestyles totally different from mine, diametrically opposed to mine sometimes. And I listen to their story and I share my story. And all of a sudden, a bond of relationship is created.”

“So today we love each other for no reason. That's unconditional love. It takes courage to love like that. It takes selflessness to love like that. And until we get to that place in society, we're going to continue to have the conflicts that we have.”

“Selfishness. I think in order to love, we've got to be unselfish. And people are not willing to let go of their own self-interest. I think there would be peace. My wife and I will be married 45 years this year. And in the beginning, because love is redemptive, it's sacrificial, and it's unconditional. So when we got married 45 years ago, We had a list of the things that we loved about each other, right? And that's wonderful. But after a while, we discovered that if you have reasons to love someone, you have conditions. And when the conditions are not met, the relationship is in trouble.”

“Well, it depends on how you apply it because there is universal truth. Truth, period, is eternal, like one of the universal truths that I've learned that it's not what you get or achieve in life, it's the person you become in the process. But then there's that personal truth that I subscribe to. And that personal truth is who I identify with and how I identify spiritually, which is most important to me. Because when we think about identity, we think in terms of culture, race, religion, you know, who your parents were, social status, etc. But when I resolved the identity crisis through my relationship with God and that I was made in the image of God, and I began to think of myself in that way, it changed the game for me.”

“If we define it as the mind, will and emotions, that integrated system that make up who we are as a unique person, an individual, it becomes central to the choices that we make in life. It is the very essence of who we are as an individual and the responsibility that we have to shape and fashion that soul so that it functions in a way that we experience our best life.”

“Power is not for you, it's given to you to serve people. And if you think that it's all about you, you're in trouble. And you have to intentionally build into your life those things that will protect you from yourself. I don't underestimate my ego or my ability to make decisions that are detrimental. So I try to build into my life the systems and the people that keep me in check and in balance.”

“I pray for wisdom I pray for guidance for all of our leaders at every level, and I pray for humility because you cannot embrace wisdom and guidance if you're not willing to humble yourself.”

“Ooh, absolutely. And let me tell you, there are benefits to social media. It's good, all right. But at the same time, it allows you to take on several identities. You can be whoever you want, and you can change identities, you know, on a whim. I think that's problematic because when do we discover who we are as the individual? Because every one of us has a unique DNA. We are a unique creation of God. And until we reconnect with God and discover that identity in God, we will continue to look to become someone other than who we've truly been made to be.”

“Hit the nail on the head again. Yeah. Identity crisis is common to every human being as an individual. But remember, whatever conflicts we're having, we're going to express that out into the world around us so that conflict continues to expand. When we began to embrace change but not know how to work through it together and those who resisted change wanted to maintain the status quo.”

“We're talking at each other, trying to get our point across. We need to listen to each other. And listening is an art. It has to be focused, and you've got to get out of yourself in order to truly listen to someone else.”

“Who were religion gives us three things it gives us morality? A sense of right and wrong. It gives us guidance that we can believe in beyond ourselves, that somehow there's a divine hand at work. And it also gives us consolation. It gives us hope for the future. So the place of spirituality is to be the moral arbiter within society. It is to look for divine guidance, whatever position we serve in society. But it also gives us hope when we're in crisis and when things are volatile. And we think that the world is going to end. No, it's not. Life will continue. It's cyclical. We go through stages. We go through levels and seasons, but life will continue.”

“I didn't get it. So that's why I began listening more and focusing on what she said, how she said it. And I will tell you, it was revolutionary in our relationship. I learned so much about myself as a man, so much about her as a woman”

“I said, Are you sure you're fine? She said, well, actually, I was hungry and you wouldn't even have the decency to pull over and stop so we can get something to eat. I said, but why didn't you just say you were hungry? She said, I did. I said, no, you didn't. She said, I did when I asked you if you were hungry. I said, oh, that's how it works. Now that I understand.”

“Yes, we're the two. There are many benefits to marriage. It could be companionship, sex, children, money, you name it. But those are benefits. There's only one goal, and that is that the two become. That's a process over time. It's an empathetic union in that you get to the place where you understand that if your spouse hurts, you hurt. So we feel each other's hurts, celebrations, pain, gladness, joy because we become one. I discovered it one night. We were on a trip driving down to Washington, D.C. And, you know, when I drive, I'm on a mission. So I'm thinking about getting there, not the journey. So about two hours into the drive, she says to me, she says, are you hungry? And I said, no. And I just keep driving. But I noticed she got quiet. There was no more conversation. So when we got to DC, I said, are you okay? I'm fine.”

“She was hurt, and I worked harder on me. And that became a leadership principle for me. Whatever you want people to become, you must become at first. So you've got to model what you want people to think about you and how you want them to feel about you. So I went to work on me. I don't work on my congregation. I work on me and try to present someone that they could respect, admire, and look up to for their state of soul and leadership and guidance.”

“And the pastor told his story, and I felt, oh gosh, this guy's living my story. Went back to the hotel room, spent the night in deep thought and reflection, woke up that morning. I just started weeping and I couldn't stop crying because I felt the weight of responsibility for what I created in the relationship. And I asked God's forgiveness because as the man, I'm responsible for the condition and state of affairs in my home and in my marriage. And I felt to call her. And I felt God impress upon my heart. Don't expect her to receive what you're going to say. But I didn't care about that. It didn't matter because this needed change she would benefit from, but I needed it more than she did. So I called her and I said, I apologize for the state of affairs in our relationship. And I take full responsibility.”

“So I committed the sin of transposition, and that's where you put things that should be second first. And the ministry people All that became more important than my family. And it really hurt her because I depreciated her. And whatever you depreciate in life decreases in value. So her value became lessened in my eyes. In her own see so i had to make those adjustments The turning point I was in Dallas, Texas attending a pastors conference.”

“I saw one of your interviews that you did and you asked the question, very important question, powerful question, and that is, what is the lesson that it took longest for you to learn? To Right, and I have to say, in answer to something like that, it's appreciating and understanding my wife's role and value in my life. That was a tough one because I just felt I was the responsible one. I had to do it all. But God placed her in my life for a reason, for a purpose. And her role was very, very valuable. It's not till I understood that and embraced that lesson that she became free to really participate in my life in the way that I needed.”

“Exactly. That's a lot of trial and error, and sometimes more trial and more error than you even want to imagine. But also the changing culture. All right, the last several decades, we've seen women experience unprecedented wealth and education. The upward mobility of women in American society is amazing. And it's great. 60% of college enrollment today is female, only 40% male. Women are taking over jobs and occupying positions of power and influence. And I will tell you, that has become quite intimidating to a lot of men. And I wrote the book because I wanted to give women number one a framework with which to make better decisions.”

“Today, we're engaged in a battle that is greater than a physical battle. It's the battle of the mind. And there's so many things to invade our minds and take us away from the right path in life. And men have it difficult. I know that growing up without a father, I picked up images of masculinity from television, from movies, from the neighborhood. I didn't get it in school. There's no course on how to be a man. manhood 101. It was not there, you know. And even in the churches, it was not geared towards.”

“Absolutely. Yes. Yeah. He wants the same thing from us. He wants us to be mature. He wants us to be decisive. Decisiveness is the ability to make decisions confidently and quickly. And in order to do that, you have to have a set of values and principles that guide your decision-making process. You have to be focused and you have to be stable of mind.”

“So maturity begins with the acceptance of responsibility for our words, our thoughts, our motives, our actions, and our attitudes. The women that I interviewed for the book cannot tell you how many of them said, well, I just wish he would grow up. What does she mean by that? She means, I want him to be responsible for what he says because words build relationships. Relationships are based on trust. So when he gives his word and doesn't keep it, he damages the relationship by damaging the trust. I want him to take ownership for what he says. Be truthful with me. This is what she says. I want consistency between what he says and what he does. I realize he's human.”

“Because maturity doesn't come with age. It begins with the acceptance of responsibility. So you could have a man who's 66 years old and he's still an adolescent. You could have a man who's 20 years old and he's very responsible. He's mature.”

“Well, the number one complaint that women have about men is that men don't listen. So when I finish the manuscript, I gave it to my wife. I said, read it, tell me what you think. She came back to me with a smile and she said, you've been listening. So I've learned to listen. I've learned to observe. You said something, gosh, this was years ago in a show that you were doing. And you said, men and women speak the same language, but they interpret things differently Absolutely. But if you don't know that and understand that, then you're going to have trouble.”

“When people would come to our church service and they would look out on the ground, they would see these guys in ties and bow ties suited up because some of the disciplines that I learned in the nation are right. I didn't lose when I became a Christian. Those are things that I continued. And I brought that into how I managed and ran the church. So men had a very disciplined, high profile in the church, and they were seen as the protectors of women. I believe that when a man becomes the man that God designed him to be, it has a liberating impact on a woman. It frees that woman to be the woman that God designed her to be.”

“Yeah, you know, the prophet Jeremiah began to look at his own deficiencies. When he got the calling, and he saw his youthfulness, he saw his inability to articulate and communicate well And the scripture says that before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you. Be a prophet to the nations. So here, this man has been called by God. He has a whole life designed and laid out before him that he knows nothing about. Now he has to trust the one who designed that life for him.”

“What do I get So, love is a desire to benefit the one love at the expense of self. Because love desires to give. And the contrast is lust, which is a desire to benefit self at the expense of others because lust only desires to get. So I began to see that people can love you, people can lust you. And sometimes you can't tell the difference because it's disguise. But you better be able to discern the difference between the two.”

“I was trying to figure all that out. But yes, it changed the way I behaved immediately. I was no longer this aggressive individual that only saw the overthrow of the system as the way to resolve the issues in the black community. I got in touch with love. That was deep and profound because we all suffer from the inability to love and to be loved. We don't know what love really is. And it is there that I discovered that love is the ability to extend yourself to others, expecting nothing in return. And this meritocracy system that we live in, we're all expecting it's a triumphant.”

He has a design for your life, and it's something that you discover. Within the first year of this newfound Christianity, this newfound spirituality. I no longer felt the same passion and love for the finance industry. I begin to see life through a whole new lens. My worldview was changed.”

“Yeah, but in the beginning, I had to go through a process of understanding who this Jesus was, why he came, why he did what he did. I mean, the whole idea, the notion of dying on a cross, didn't register with me well. I talked and thought about wisdom, about knowledge, about understanding, but not sacrifice. So it introduced me to love at a level that I never imagined. And that's where the whole new journey began.”

“As I was listening. And I somehow knew intuitively that Christ, the Christ, is what I was looking for because he made an altar call. So I walked up and he said, you know, would you like to receive Jesus in your heart? I had no idea what that meant. He said, I want to pray for you. I said, fine. I was vulnerable. I was open. And then he touched me. And that's when I felt like someone blowtort to my chest, blew a hole in me, and I did something that I would never do. And that was cry in public. I wept and I couldn't stop weeping. So I walked away from the altar. The service was over. My wife and I are leaving. My secretary and her husband come down because they were in the balcony. And she said, did you get it? Did you get it? I had no idea what I was supposed to get. I said to her.”

So I said, I got to hear this because he converted to Christianity. So my wife and I went. That night we were in the church service. And he gave his message. And what he was saying wasn't connecting. There was something else going on inside of my own heart.”

“I think it's a process that led me up to that point because I was in banking. So I had a secretary who was a little Pentecostal woman, very strict dogma and tradition. So she would hand me little tracks and talk to me about God. But what intrigued me was her childlike faith in this person. Because she caused me to look at the person of Christ apart from the institution of Christianity. It was simplicity, profundity, and simplicity that she demonstrated before me and it intrigued me.”

That's what I found, but I didn't find God. So I was still open. I was still searching.”

“It began with the resolution of my identity crisis. I grew up in the 60s. And growing up without a father, my mother, single mother raising me the best she could, and also being of mixed parentage. My father was white, never knew him. He abandoned my mother and I when I was born. So we left Panama where I was born and came to the United States to start a new life. And I grew up in that 60s revolution. So I was looking for strength, for order, for something to belong to. And the nation of Islam was appealing. When I was a kid, I used to take the train from Brooklyn up to Harlem. And there this young man named Malcolm X was preaching. And these guys were giving out newspapers called Mohammed Speaks. And I was taken by that. So”

“Yeah, and this millennial generation, they've experienced incredible exposure to information, so they are weighing things not just on name recognition or past history, but on present day merits. So they think differently. So they've made this distinction moving away from organized religions, its rules, its regulations, its traditions, and they call it spirituality, which means I still believe in the divine. I still want to connect. I believe it's somehow part of my existence. So there's this constant longing inside of me for that something that I can't put my finger on.”
