Rev. William Buie, Pastor First Cavalry Baptist Church Rock Hill SC is Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat 62

The science behind A Perfect PRISON TO PRINCETON MIRACLE

Young thugs are everywhere! Look around wherever you are and agree we black, brown, and poor folks have a long way to go. Seriously, we’ve fought for everything and each other. This generation of pant-sagging migrants, in my opinion, don’t have a clue what it is/was to be a “G.” Television shows don’t come close to the reality facing young people two and three generations ago. However, one thing will never change – The power of GOD and his ability to move each one into their purpose.

This thought is not about racism, but rather about whether life was experienced as straight and narrow (headed to heaven), or the extreme opposite, a sinful wretch is undone. You went to church and served GOD (doing good), or wholeheartedly serving evil 365-7 days weekly would put my money on a ’70-’80s Daddy’s Girl!

Who is Chosen VIsionary in HOT-Seat 63

Rev. William H Buie quotes the great Langston Hughes, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair!” Growing up in the mean streets of Brooklyn, New York, in the Bedford Stuyvesant community provided a level of education not offered within the American educational system. The street life grabbed his attention at an early age, and he quickly fell for worldly happiness. Seeing the bling belonging to men of every nationality with the finer things of life, I began my pursuit of those things as an escape from poverty.

He found himself engaged in seeking attention from sources outside of what we consider the nuclear family. His first encounter with the underground world began with a simple engagement in smoking marijuana/weed at ten years old, which started the downward spiral. Life started as a love affair, only to end up like gang rape. Not realizing the end could only lead to jails, institutions, possibly death.

About Science

Science is about facts with proven evidence over time. With that said, I’ve never seen the word science mentioned in the bible; Because it was not discovered yet (the term)? However, what is clear is the countless scriptures around knowledge and wisdom – Mostly building on top of the other. William Buie, a chosen vessel used by GOD, can use – He’s been through the mire, much, and Mudd yet somehow came out victorious and unscathed.

If you take anything away from this segment (and post) at the Urban Academics Roundtable, let it be that you have a choice in this life, and GOD himself would NEVER violate your choice. I’m a witness, he will honor you and me regardless of our options, but he WILL NEVER OVERRIDE them (our choices).

Some might argue that have faith in GOD and believing the evidence of science is an apparent contradiction. However, it’s impossible to deny the truth in GOD and science.

Here’s a notable Bible Passage: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form – void. Darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the beginning of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. 

Regardless of your beliefs, that same POWER, in the beginning, exists to this day. Ask William Buie – He went from prison to Princeton riding on that power, and you can do the same. Have you got any questions? Would you please leave them in the comments section below?

Some say generosity is a thing of the past; The selfie generation has taken the world by storm.

RECOVERY And Love – How They Trigger The Same?

58 Replies

RECOVERY And Love – How They Trigger The Same? These two terms seem to be as far from one another as possible. Those seeking recovery are looking for something that’s lost; Under normal circumstances, the notion of love is something we receive. That sounds like an oxymoron, correct?

Sometimes, though, the most difficult things that happen to us are not always something we understand. However, if you are a Chosen Visionary, you likely understand foolishness confounding the wise. In other words, what we believe, hear, and see are only partially true because of our limited perspective sees through a glass darkly. Someday, we will understand it better, or maybe not.

This week’s Chosen Visionary is one who has turned his life around significantly from riotous living including, but not limited to a baby out of wedlock, alcohol, drugs, late nights, partying and he’s even been incarcerated and shot! He gives ALL glory to God, and now is happy to share his story of grace, love and resilience in an honest and transparent way. and He’s at the Urban Academics Roundtable, as HOT-Seat Number Fifty-Eight (58), Thursday at 9:30 pm (EDT).

Meet Our Next Chosen Visionary in the HOT-Seat

This Chosen Visionary, forever known as HOT-Seat Fifty-Nine (59), is Pastor at New Antioch Church (Branford, CT), and he described it as a Safe Haven of Hope for ALL. No one will be turned away for services, and he, together with his wife, Lady Tiffany, is building a legacy as we speak.

The 700 seat sanctuary is peaceful and serene, with a window view into a nature scene. The community center (ALL Purpose) and training facility have the same beauty – It sits on 10 acres of land, allowing children to run and play without fear of cars or anything else. This summer, People Involved in Motivating Our Students Higher (PIMOSH) joins in partnership delivering 2021 Arts Education & Technology Institute (one of three locations). They expect up to 100 children and youth for this year’s inaugural run from July 12 – August 18, 2021.

Pastor Esau was born and raised in New Haven, CT. When he lost his father at a young age, he lost his way. The once famous high school athlete touring with the band and organized sports found himself outside of himself. He was as a broken vessel, and that weird place, without his Dad, was unbearable – He turned to alcohol and drugs, like so many others. The difference is he can honestly speak about those times and is willing to help others overcome them.

Another program proposed for the church is the Helen Harrison House of Hope for addicted women & children working hard getting parental rights restored while simultaneously working on hurtful issues contributing to the situation. Pastor Esau is an Elder for his region and will be ordained Sunday, July 11, 2021, at New Antioch, as the first major event since COVID-19. ALL are Welcome.

As a degreed Mental Health professional, he spends his days and some nights helping the less fortunate to gain a sense of self-worth with inspiring words and a calm spirit. Pastor Esau Greene, Jr. is the Chosen Visionary Number 59, and he’s in the HOT-Seat.

The Secret of Successful RETIRED US NAVAL OFFICER

3,899 Replies

Can you imagine being smart enough to use the US government to secure your future while getting paid to attend college or university studies? Many people are aware of the many benefits of military enlistment, but there’s much more associated with that track that’s not always advertised throughout media.

This week’s Chosen Visionary is one who learned early to pursue her dreams but to do so with as little out-of-pocket expense as possible. She was smart enough to take advantage of the Armed Forces of the United States at a young age. First, the National Guard and then, as a young black woman climbed the ranks, becoming a Retired Naval Officer. This route has proven successful, and yet she is young enough to start another career on top, and she’s at the Urban Academics Roundtable, as HOT-Seat Number Fifty-Eight (58), Thursday at 9:30 pm (EDT).

  • Joseph Matthews is a father to many and a leader to all. Talks about hard times as a child at the Roundtable

Joseph Matthews was born and raised in Charleston South Carolina, and grew up in he middle of the transformation “After Freedom.” His memories bring him back to the plantation, but how is that possible when he’s not old enough to have experienced certain dates in history.

Some people don’t know that there are folks in Charleston who chose to stay on the plantation after freedom because they had no other options. They were not learned, and all they knew was where they found themselves.

Hear the story of a true historian who is not too far removed from the real truth about black folks’ passage to American soil – And those who remain.

Here are four things that set King Joseph Matthews apart from the others: (1) Love for Children; Love for the family; (3) Love for God; and (4) Love for Life.

To People That Want To Start RAP MUSIC INDUSTRY But Are Afraid To Get Started

The 90’s was a critical time for black and brown folks in America, especially black, brown and poor folks! There was a surge of crack cocaine reaching into the inner city neighborhoods, and Rap music had made it to mainstream radio – Even MTV, which had a problem even promoting music from Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, or Luther Vandross on their channel.

One song that made these two community realities was “Whoomp! There it Is,” the 90’s party anthem, and a popular song at Rick’s Cafe (the Cliff)! We are blessed to have one-half of the Tag Team Duo at the Urban Academics Roundtable. This is an invitation for you to join us, but you can Register Here

Ph.D. Knows How To Teach Education Revival Better Than Anyone Else – In the HOT-Seat

1,069 Replies

Education in America has been hard, especially for African American (black and brown) children. It appears that we can no longer ignore the truth – If others control the overall societal narrative, eventually, you’ll have no choice but to fight for what’s yours.

I’m well aware of the fact that we’ve been fighting for education, police and voter reforms, and so many other injustices long enough. However, here’s a quote by a great woman who was filled with wisdom, laying her life down for the dream she shared with her husband …

“Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.”

Expert Covid-19 Survivor at the Urban Academics Roundtable

Where Is The Best EXPERT COVID-19 SURVIVOR?

Where Is The Best EXPERT COVID-19 SURVIVOR? Obviously, at the Urban Academics Roundtable in the coveted HOT-Seat! If you’ve not been through it, there’s little you can contribute – Unless you can add to it (the story), roll with and stay clear about your focus and goal. In this case, this “praying wife” was determined to win – Her husband and her life back, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

The past year has been crazy, but some of us are just grateful to have made it to the other side of the living. The government shut Businesses and schools down – the very structure of American life ripped apart without anyone’s permission. Who’s the boss? Who can argue with God? Certainly not me; Or no one I knew personally.

“As of May 27, 2021, nearly 133 million people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated, and the national percentage of COVID-19 tests that came back positive over the last 7 days was less than 3%. This is one of the lowest rates the United States has seen since widespread testing began.”

Tee spent 46-days isolated, for the most part, from his wife and family as Johns Hopkins Hospital’s worst COVID-19 case then. With 28 of those 46-days in a medically induced coma, Tee’s health was failing from a physical and medical standpoint. Marcy used her faith, prayers, skills, and talents to help her husband navigate one of the most challenging times in modern life.
