Bishop Julius C. Trimble is the Resident Bishop of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church. Bishop Trimble has the personal mission to encourage all people with the love of Jesus Christ to rise to their highest potential. It is his commitment to his personal mission that led Bishop Trimble to create the “To Be Encouraged” Podcast along with co-host Rev.Dr. Brad MIller. Bishop Trimble says, “I am compelled by Jesus to share with you an encouraging word or two about Jesus, theology, the bible, the pandemic, the environment, racism, voting rights, human sexuality, and the state of the United Methodist Church.” To Be Encouraged with Bishop Julius C. Trimble is to be published weekly and is available at www.tobeencouraged.com and all the podcast directories. https://www.inumc.org/bishop/office-of-the-bishop/ (https://www.inumc.org/bishop/office-of-the-bishop/) Olujimi W. Brown Olujimi (Olu) Brown is the father of Daya Elom Brown and Langston Wesley Brown. Olu is a native of Lufkin, Texas. He graduated from Jarvis Christian College in Hawkins, Texas, and earned a Master of Divinity degree from Gammon Theological Seminary of the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Olu has served as the Lead Pastor of Impact Church, a young congregation in the East Point community of Metropolitan Atlanta (impactdcd.org). With Olu's vision and leadership, since its founding in 2007, Impact has grown from a core team of 25 people to more than 5,000 online viewers with a $4M budget, making it one of the fastest-growing United Methodist Churches (UMC) and new church starts in the United States. To that end, Impact was listed at number 5 in the 25 Fastest-Growing Large United Methodist Churches, 2018 Edition. Olu strongly believes in an active church, one that makes a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and communities. Impact is a multicultural community committed to Doing Church Differently™. Impact DCD redefines the church experience through inclusiveness, relatable messages, energetic weekly gatherings, unique events and activities, relevant youth programs, and community outreach. The people of Impact are compelled to help bring healing, justice, and compassion to the world. Through Olu's leadership and visionary direction, Impact has grown from a core group of 25 to a present-day dedicated staff of 62 individuals who work in the Finance, Marketing, Operations, Care and Creative Worship teams. In addition to more than 200 volunteers who serve each Sunday during the worship experiences, Impact has key volunteers on the Leadership Team: SPRC, Lay Leadership/Lay Servants, Nominations, Trustees, and Finance. Olu is constantly challenging Impact's community to destroy the status quo and to make a remarkable difference in our community and the world. On May 16, 2021, Olu announced his retirement from the local church effective June 2022. For his retirement, Olu is using the phrase, Normalizing Next™, which is the concept of how to best prepare for the future, especially churches that experience any kind of change or transition. Normalizing Next™ is when you are no longer afraid to do your best to prepare for and strategize so that one can be fully successful. Olu is looking forward to 2022, as he begins a new season, transitioning from Impact where he will coach business leaders, church leaders, and church teams. Olu is the contributing author of Zero to 80: Innovative Ideas for Planting and Accelerating Church Growth, author of Leadership Directions from Moses: On the Way to a Promised Land; 4D Impact: Smash Barriers Like a Smart Church; Hope: An Advent Journey; A New Kind of Venture Leader; Our Lenten Prayer; Normalizing Next™: A Post-COVID Resource for Church Leaders (book and guidebook), as well as contributing author to Flipping Church: How Successful Church Planters Are Turning Conventional Wisdom Upside-Down (access www.olubrown.com for more details, to purchase a

Hello, it’s time for another episode, so let’s jump right in. DP connects with media journalist Jade Jackson. Her journey started at the age of 9 when the school librarian, selected her to do morning announcements, an honor normally reserved for the sixth-grade students. She was hailed by students and teachers as being funny and entertaining. She didn’t like the news however and like most children, her age pondered why her family chose to watch them instead of morning cartoons. It would take the CNN document, Black In America, to make her take interest with the idea of telling stories. During her high school years, she was a member of the yearbook, newspaper and television committees which launched her into the world of broadcasting. She attended Jarvis Christian College, founded by her Great-grandfather, and has made a promise to establish a journalism degree program there. Her drive to allow others the same opportunity given to her speaks to the passion she has for her art.

VISION;  To lead a global networking movement to increase opportunities for people of African descent Dr. George C. Fraser is Chairman and CEO of FraserNet, Inc; a company he founded almost 30 years ago with the vision to lead a global networking movement that brings together diverse human resources to increase opportunities for people of African descent. He is considered by many to be a new voice for African Americans and one of the foremost authorities on economic development, networking and building effective relationships. While George’s accomplishments are significant, his beginnings were very humble. He was born in Brooklyn, NY into a family of 11 children (8 boys and 3 girls). When George’s mom became mentally ill, George’s dad, a cab driver, could not care for 11 children so George was orphaned at 3 and spent 14 years in foster homes. Growing up on the streets of New York he had little hope and no expectations. Although his guidance counselor suggested he drop out of high school, George graduated from high school with a vocational diploma in woodworking because the school system did not consider him college material. Thank God George felt differently…for several years, he mopped floors on the midnight shift at LaGuardia Airport, while he paid his way through college. Later, in 1996, he graduated from the prestigious Dartmouth College; Minority Business Executive Program. In 1999, he was awarded the Honorary Doctorate Degree of Humane Letters from Jarvis Christian College.  See more info at www.frasernet.com

Many yearn for the prestige and sense of accomplishment of having a published book. The world of publishing has changed, however. We no longer have to send out dozens of query letters and wait anxiously for a response that often never comes.   Well-known books such as A Time to Kill by John Grisham and What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard Nelson Bolles started as self published books before they became national bestsellers. There is also the story of Amanda Hocking who set out to make an extra few hundred dollars self publishing, but made $2.5 million instead. The number of self-published books in the United States annually has grown 287 percent since 2006, according to statistics. We now have the power in our own hands, but what do we do with it?   Bestselling author Michelle Stimpson has penned several works, including national bestseller, Divas of Damascus Road, the highly acclaimed Falling Into Grace, and Amazon #1 bestseller, Stepping Down. She has also published more than 50 short stories through her educational publishing company. Michelle holds an English degree from Jarvis Christian College and master's degree in education from the University of Texas at Arlington. She joins the show to share her trade secrets on how to sucessfully self publish your book!
