Polishing the Bright Spot of Brian Hawkins

The Long Road

About this episode

There is a lot of disturbing news today, and at times it's quite overwhelming. Using the historical wisdom of JB Nash who advocated to "polish the bright spot" instead of focusing on negatives--enter Pastor Brian Hawkins who is an African-American ex-con running for US Congress in California. If there was ever an American success story--this is it. Pastor Hawkins not only turned his life around in prison but also figured out a way to get rival gangs to get along and respect each other in the prison yard. He had some startling comments on the poor literacy rates of prisoners that compelled me to do this show. I hope you take a listen--then read a book or two! https://www.hawkinsforcongress2022.com
