@pastoremase My hunch is that so many of us that are guided by you Pastor and you probably are unaware. God has given you this privilege (weight) and you’ve been faithful. Grateful for you, even more in light of this acknowledgement.

6 years ago I dealt with a ton of backlash concerning my book Woke Church which was a call to biblical justice in and thru the church. The amount of slander, videos and even whole conferences done, books written against me personally and the issues in this country was staggering. Nonchristians were very encouraging to me and many Christian’s were as well. I had Hebrew Israelites and other BRIC’s and folks from the conscious community saying they didn’t know black Christian’s call out racism in the church and this country. I called out the issues with both conservatives and liberals. I had those who were pastor associates doubting my salvation. Woke/conscious was a term used by blacks to speak of an awareness we all should have for the racism in this country and beyond. The left highjacked the term and the right defined it based on the left’s misuse of it. Over time I became disillusioned with spaces that I was in where the majority culture was arguing about CRT and politics and there being no such thing as systemic racism. I can’t be placed in a monolithic box. I’m pro-life and anti racism, I’m for the nuclear family and not for transgenderism. During this time I became very depressed being connected to majority cultured evangelical circles. So I pulled out of all of them. It was hard at first, but ever since then, as I’ve focused on the mission God has given His church and the assignment that God has for me, I feel like I’m so in the will of God. I didn’t deconstruct, but I was depressed, I didn’t abandon the faith, but I sought to abound in gospel clarity and commitment. I was going thru a storm of spiritual warfare on every level of my life. Church, family, relationships and personally. I even found out that a witch coven had made it their assignment to specifically assign demons to me and my family to torment me and destroy me in very specific ways. I was suicidal in secret. And begged the Lord to help me stay here for my kids, my wife and His glory. I went into counseling, told my closest friends, wife, and church. Got the help I needed. And God renewed me. I’ve watched so many of my brothers and sisters whom I love dearly leave the faith over the last 4yrs. Im still here by the grace of God and my resolve is ever clearer than ever for YHWH AND HIS glory! Yeshua will get the glory, all of it! I’m convinced that we are in the last days. Idk why I’m posting this, but just felt led to. Maybe it’s for just one person that needs to hear this. God loves you and so do I! Hold fast.

First time back in the bump since 14u ended in June. Lots to work on but trying to compete on every pitch. Thankful to @DNAofChampions for the opportunity. @VBSDbaseball @thejonlove

@JacksonCollier Still think so? We would have just won the game.

Going for it on fourth there was the right move. Just didn’t convert. Defense has to step up and get a stop here.

@JacksonCollier No sir. It was 4th and 4, not 4th and 1. Kick it and take the lead. Bad call.

Very thankful to attend my first @UCABearBaseball prospect camp. Met a bunch of dudes and learned a ton. Bigger, Faster, Stronger. 9th grade is here! ⚾️ 💪🏼 @Spigner23

Personally seen @presleynichols_ swing thousands (literally) of times this summer in a little shed with no A/C. Has worked his tail off. Up to 215lb and ready for year two at @CrowderBasebal1

Working on creating a third pitch. Curve ➡️ Two seamer ➡️ Split change. 9th grade is around the corner. #work @AR_Sticks @tycallahan2112 @CesarDAbreu @PrepBaseballAR @VBSDbaseball

We finished the last one just like all the others. Had a great weekend at the plate hitting in the 5 hole. On the bump threw a complete game 3 hitter. Now on to @VBSDbaseball 🐶 ⚾️ 🔥

Proud of this group. Going to continue the VB run for years.

Working on hitting it everywhere. Wood bat 32/29 💥 ⚾️ @AR_Sticks @PrepBaseballAR @CesarDAbreu @thejonlove

River Valley DemGaz with the write up on @presleynichols_ of @VBSDbaseball. True fresh in D1 Juco closing in on batting .300 with 6 💣. Kid has always been consistently good.

Live ABs tonight. Working on hit and run. Find a way to hit it no matter where it is. #8thGrade

So much fun watching Ando get to have this experience with his best friends. Some amazing young men! Well done @northridgeboys1

@JacksonCollier JC, can we have a rational discussion about Devo and Brazile? I am not an expert, but what amni missing? Why are they starting and playing so much?

Time for Arkansas fans to start accepting this team won’t make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team, if they haven’t accepted it already. Awful performance for any type of selection criteria.

Okay I concede, but can I go to Walmarts to get stuff for the New Year? Asking for a friend.

Huge thanks to @NateTrosky & @TroskyBaseball for an amazing elite infield camp in Dallas. Better every day! “si estas fuera”
