we as people have a habit of letting emotions lead us. Think about all of the big life changing events that you have participated in because of "how you felt", Relationships, jobs, cars, homes, vacations, religion, family, money, etc. We are quick to say "yes!" without thinking about the outcome, the journey, the consequences, the work and yes, even the risks involved. So when millions of people are saying "We are Charlie Kirk", they are proclaiming a courage to speak openly and honestly, even in hostile situations. Are we really that strong, or brave?

Chapter 1 from my book, do no harm. This chapter deals with how words and misguided intentions can cause harm.

My own exposure to death as a 9-year-old boy had a lasting effect on me. I have come to realize that the world can instill lasting harm by its words and actions.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk took place on the day we were set to release this podcast.

Charlie Kirk is dead. A 22-year-old man listened to all the wrong people and became convinced that Charlie was evil and needed to be silenced.

We at Compelled are deeply saddened by the loss of Charlie Kirk and felt this podcast "Speak no evil" was timely.

TRIGGER WARNING. This is suicide awareness month. If you were one of my followers on social media 7 years ago, you might've noticed each post started with a double-digit number. Each day the number got smaller. It was a countdown to the day I would commit suicide. Seven years ago, today would have been day 45. The irony that I was a pastor and I knew God. Yet I couldn't find the energy or a reason to keep going. Today's podcast is about changing your perception of the day from "I don't want to" to "I want to". Each day is a gift. How we approach each day, matters. Don't give up. Don't quit! you matter.

We only get one life on this earth. Each day is a gift. Sometimes the gift is disguised as an obstacle. That doesn't change the fact that it is still a gift. Your health, your finances, your relationships, or any other situation can still be used for good. We just have to decide to recognize the gift and do something with it.
