And so lion and the lamb, that's what we teach in the cave of Adelam to bring up the lion when there's predators coming into your pride. I call that fight or flight, the brain's response to stress or trauma. Handle it then, but don't stay there. See, I stayed there in the gas station when that guy was following my wife. I should have reset to lamb mode because everything was safe.
And so that's what I teach men is like, look, never suppress the lion. Bring him out when needed, but put him back and live from the lamb. Then you can reset and there you will find rest.
Right now he's 16th state of this country is some driving. You know, disproportionately African-Americans are pulled over more than any other ethnicity. And even with unfair cause, no just cause to be pulled over. Statistically, we are less likely to have drugs or firearms. So I'm scared. I'm concerned with that.
But I trust that God will take care of him the same way he took care of my daughter when she was interning in New York. And I love New York. I just didn't want my daughter just on the subway alone. You know, it's just terrifying. But with him, that's my concern. And I'm thankful for the police officers I do know who are just and kind, all different ethnicities.
And I have faith that my son, and I have to train him. You see, that's the dynamic of being an African-American in this country. Like, when you have a son, you don't have to teach him how to respond when the police pull you over, per se. I literally tell my son to roll all four windows down so he won't feel threatened. Right. Just arm the police officer. As soon as he pulls you over.
Get your hands up on the, yeah, yeah. And have your ID out. Do you know what that does to his adrenaline, his mind? And just one move could cost him his life.
And so it's terrifying as a father, man, just to be real with you. But yet, you know... I have to cast that. I can't live from that. I had a lot of losses, and I don't want to live from that type of mentality. I won't be able to stay in the present. My trauma will keep time traveling and ruining it. I should be excited that my son has a driver's license and can drive. Yeah.
And, you know, and I work with police officers as well at times and to understand the trauma that they've endured. My best friend, I talk about him in this book. He's a retired police officer. PTSD is real.
Getting shot at. Most police officers don't even have to experience that. It's seeing the trauma of a crime scene.
Or a person with a bullet hole talking to you, shot in the head, talking to you, trying to tell you who shot them. That's what my best friend had to endure. He had a bullet in his head and he was able to speak? He's trying to articulate to the officer, my friend, who shot him and he couldn't. Oh my gosh. My friend, it's difficult for him to sleep at night.
In this book here, I share that he had a moment of just intense anger, frustration, and then his wife actually had cancer. She's deceased now. He said he grabbed his steering wheel so fierce that imprints from his fingernails was in his palm. That's how hard he was grabbing the steering wheel. because of all that he saw as a police officer.
He tells me all the time. I mean, I remember one time we caught some kids who were breaking in homes in his neighborhood. I pull up, I see the kids breaking in his neighbor's house. I call him, he runs out. By the time he comes out, they're in the car. I didn't know where they were. But his training, we're driving, says that's them. I said, how do you know?
Because he's constantly in fight or flight. Wow. He was able to, it was the car. Detect how they're moving. The movement of the car. Why is a female driving? There's three guys and he knew all of that. But he's like that all the time. A friend of mine who was an ex-Marine. And it's like, so when I think of my son driving at the same time, I know not all cops are out to get young black boys.
I do know that. And so my mind is on both sides. I pray, I let go, and I continue to do my work to help as many men as possible. And what I love about the reach of social media is I had cops stop me just to talk to me. Seriously. They're like, here we go. I'm like, man, I don't do this kind of thing. But they say, hey, you know, do you have a moment to talk?
And it's humbling because to know that here it is as a man, you see him in uniform, think he should have it together, and he does it. Just to talk about marriage and life, and it's a rough day today. And that's what I tell my son to always consider. Always try to consider the last stop they could have had.
And even then, there's no guarantee, but it does increase your chances of going home. 100%, yeah. And how you respond to things calmly. I often tell my boys, I say, the car is not a courtroom. Get home. Right. Then get a lawyer. Yeah, they don't need it. Just, yes, sir. Yes, sir. There's no guarantee that'll work because we've seen the yes, sir, no, sir, and it's still in the other way. Yeah.
Um, but yeah, man, that's as a father, a loving father, I love my son deeply. Um, it's a fear, but I'm going to lean on God with that, man. Like I'm gonna trust you again.
I don't know. You know, people would say, you know, the cave of Adullam is my life's work. I swear, I don't think no one could tell me my life's work until I'm dead because I could do something at A.E. that could change everything. And so my purpose, I believe, is being a servant, allowing myself to be used by God to, you Reach as many people as possible and help them heal, man. Yeah.
To truly find life and living. You know, especially with me and my heart breaks for men specifically because we're hiding so much, man. And I see them, we talk. I see right through the filters. And it breaks my heart because they're struggling. And they want to be free like me where I can just share and don't care how I'm perceived anymore.
what's the area in your life where you're hiding the most where i'm hiding the most i don't i don't think there's an area anymore my man i mean now once i can cry in front of my wife like that was the ultimate like oh my god i'm how is she gonna take this one yeah yeah yeah um
