My skin color was my religion. – Alexcia
Pro black home. White people hated black people. We did not deal with white people in our class at all. – Alexcia
From the hood in Jersey City. Grew up in a very dysfunctional environment. My mom struggled with severe drug addiction. – Shamoir
I struggled with anger from the abandonment of my biological father. – Alexcia
I fought a lot. I got kicked out of multiple schools. – Alexcia
I resented God. I hated Him. – Shamoir
Even though my mom struggled with drug addiction, she was a phenomenal mom when she was clean. When she wasn’t suffering from relapse, she was an outstanding mom. She was my best friend. That’s why it was so hard, I felt like my world was taken away from me, when she died. I did feel abandoned. I would cry about it. I would find places to isolate myself and I would just scream. ‘Cause I had to get it out. I resented God. I hated Him. – Shamoir
When I got to college my eyes were opened. You have the drinking, the parties. – Alexcia
While growing up comfortably, Alexcia's religion was her skin color. Shamoir grew up surrounded by drugs and gangs. Now ministering to others and raising three daughters, their journey has been filled with life altering miracles.

Is it possible to parent well in today’s culture?... with kids spending over six hours on technology, with depression and suicide skyrocketing, and disrespect for parents and values seemingly promoted all around us? Steve Hines, author of the book, Salt, Light, & Kids tells us how we CAN parent well in today’s culture.
Topics from the book that are discussed:- The perils of modern technology- Drugs / fentanyl crisis / alcohol- Friendships- Dating and marriage- Youth mental health- Importance of ongoing, healthy communication- Biblical applications for parenting
Book SummarySalt, Light, & Kids: Parenting Well in Today's CultureARE YOU PARENTING OR ARE YOU PARENTING WELL?Raising kids today is more challenging than it has ever been. Technology, social media, and the ever-shifting standards of what is right and wrong can make parenting in modern-day culture difficult to navigate. If we want to win the battle as parents, we need to have the desire to truly parent well. If we want to parent well, we must resolve to make parenting more important than almost anything else and give it the effort and attention that’s required. With all the outside influences that kids are facing every single day, parenting well requires a heightened sense of commitment and discernment, as well as a willingness to lead by example. Most parents want to do the best job they can, and with much focus and effort can succeed in this very noble desire and responsibility. In Salt, Light, & Kids, Steve Hines helps parents train up their children to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world and to hear God’s voice above all the competing voices vying for their attention.
“Whether you're expecting your first child or in the frontlines of the teen years, you will discover Salt, Light, & Kids to be an invaluable resource for your parenting journey.” – CHRIS HODGES, NY Times bestselling author and Senior Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL

Hear how Derral Eves goes from facing the corner to The Chosen. Derral Eves is Executive Producer of The Chosen TV series and a YouTuber with billions of views. Yes, with a “b” billions.
Constantly in trouble and standing facing the corner almost daily in the third grade. Then, a lot of friction when a teenager. Is there no hope? Or has God made this child for a good purpose no matter what it seems like? From Derral Eves’ story we can realize to continue in faith and guidance of the Lord, for there is hope as parents, even when we might feel like giving up.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
“My parents have been supportive from day 1 of trying to help me understand who I am; my relationship with God, also my relationship with others, and what I am meant to do here on earth. I can honestly say because of their mentorship and friendship I was able to discover Jesus and I was able to discover a world I didn't even know existed and it led to doing things that people said were impossible. It helped me establish a routine and a mindset that I could be used in different aspects to really build up the Lord's kingdom.” – Derral Eves
“Little did I know being a teenager most of the friction was me. ‘Cause being a teenager I had no idea the world actually existed outside of Darrel Eves. It wasn't until having a couple life moments of discovering Jesus and realizing what Jesus has done for us and being redeemed and being put on a path of what it means to be a follower of Jesus that I discovered what type of parent I wanted to be.” – Derral Eves
Hear the backstory behind The Chosen that broke the all-time crowdfunding record with 10 million dollars raised. The Chosen is a television series about the life of Jesus Christ where the viewer identifies with the Bible characters as if they were today.
“Know this. If we are going to impact the world there is no way we can impact It ourselves. But together we can. I believe that is what The Chosen is. Yes, it is a TV show, but it is much more than a TV show. It’s a movement. A movement to discover Jesus. If there is ever a time in the world that we need Jesus, it is today.” – Derral Eves

Fleeing the deadly racial war in Rhodesia, Africa, Robert felt the strong call of God on his life. That call would take him to Australia, a marriage of racial reconciliation (Janet), and then to the U.S., leading a global radio ministry. Now, they watch son, Stephen, and daughter-in-law, Annaly, honor God with their gifts and raising the next generation of believers, Harmony and Elijah.
There is going to be a riot here and someone is going to be beat up. – Robert
I lived in fear. I did not want to leave the house. – Annaly
“For our momentary, passing trouble, is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure!” 2 Corinthians 4:17
I told her, “You are going to marry me.” – Robert; I don’t think so. – Janet
The dentist yanked them out. He was so mad. – Robert
In his country Zimbabwe, they had a war between the blacks and the whites. – Janet
Black people don’t marry white people. – Robert
Son, have you been writing your promises? – Stephen
He told me the vision he had had of me, but I did not think that was me. – Janet
Shocked. She was paralyzed. Black guy, never meet before, going to marry me? How would you handle that? – Robert
I rejected it. I said, “No, no, no.” – Janet
God, if this is you, you will take care of it. – Robert
You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. – Robert
God kept working on me that He was in it. – Janet
I lost a State Championship. I let my kids down. – Stephen
David in the Bible. It was a dysfunctional family. – Robert
There were times where they did want to rebel, when they got older, and they did. – Janet
That was the greatest test in my life. People that love you the most, hurt you the most. – Robert
The more we’d pray, the worse it got. – Robert
What did I do wrong? – Robert
You wanted everything to be perfect and it wasn’t always perfect. – Janet
My flesh side, my stinking thinking I thought do this, then I thought no that wouldn’t be right. If there is a God, He has to change them and turn them around. – Robert
We had to pray them back into the fold. – Janet; We prayed a lot, I mean, a lot that God would speak to them, change them. – Robert
Sometimes we try to do more than what humans can do. Only God can change the heart. Only God can fix a family. – Robert
We allowed God to work in their life by praying and loving and accepting them at the point they were at and ministering to them as we could. For them to understand, we still love them. – Janet
After I came to the end of my anxiety, my wanting to fix them. After I failed at that, it was like okay God, I leave it in your hand. The moment I let go. God did it. So sometimes we are in the way of God, hindering Him from doing it. – Robert
One thing He showed us is don’t try to force them, because it just makes them more determined to do the opposite. – Robert
Pray the seed sowed would transform them and bring them back, which is what happened. – Robert
I made a decision that I was not going to be flying around the world doing big things and abandon my family. – Robert
Because I have learned the difference between a religion and a relationship. I have really focused on that with our kids. – Annaly
Like trying to translate God’s word into how it relates right now in their life and encouraging them to pray, when they are worried about something or when they want something or whatever it is they are dealing with, just to pray about it. – Stephen
I think the greatest thing a parent can do is plant seeds. – Stephen
If you stay faithful to giving them a foundation, they will go back to what they were raised on. – Stephen
People have a mental understanding of the Lord, but if you haven’t experienced Him yet you don’t know Him in His full power. – Annaly
In my mid-twenties I got to a point where I was very fearful. I lived in fear. I didn’t want to leave the house. – Annaly
God said, “Begin to believe my Word.” And I said, God, what does that mean I’ve believed your Word my whole life. And He said, “Begin to believe my Word.” The following days He revealed His promises to me. Scriptures were no longer something I mentally heard and understood at church, but it was something I said – this is for me, I have the peace of God. I learned through that about the living active power of the Word of God and how it transforms you. – Annaly
Destiny is not by chance. You choose to obey. You choose to follow God. Destiny is by choice. – Robert
What God says He will do. He does it. And I have seen it over and over and over how God is faithful. – Janet
The world is coming so hard for our Biblical values and our Christian world views. They (our children) are going to have to be defenders of the faith before I ever had to be a defender of my faith. – Stephen
All we are doing now as parents is preparing them. – Stephen
God wants you to live a fulfilled life and everything for that is in the scriptures. – Annaly

Black people don’t marry white people. Robert
Son, have you been writing your promises? Stephen
Listen my son to your father’s instruction, do not ignore your mother’s teaching. Proverbs 1:8
The fatherly advice in this phase of life changed my relationship with the Lord so much. Stephen
He said, Son, I am going to give you the steps that have transformed my life and belief in God. Stephen
Dad, can you just pray for something good to happen to me, can I use that card? He said, No, son, this is you and your walk with the Lord. Stephen
He gave me the guidance to find my walk with the Lord. He gave me the guidance to rely on God through a point in my life that I wasn’t ready for, I wasn’t prepared for, but he was patient. He was kind. He was loving just like our loving Heavenly father and in it I found God’s love. Stephen
I don’t know how my dad could go about his life without my mom. It’s a crazy story, but it’s a match made in heaven. Stephen

He was just my dad. He does go in his closet and prays a lot, but other than that he was just my dad. – Stephen
I was born in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). I come from the royal family that the British took the kingdom from. I was prophesied over in my mother’s womb. These 10 American missionaries from Azusa street laid hands on her and said you are going to have a boy, name him Robert, because he is going to take the message of the Jesus Christ to the nations. – Robert
I am from Australia. When I was 23, I felt like God was leading me to go to Bible school to be an instrument that God could use on the mission field. – Janet
I wrote a letter to God, if these missionaries were sent by you, send me another person, not from this country, to confirm what the missionaries said was from you. – Robert
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, if they just take God at his word. – Robert
Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; John 14:12a
