In this episode of the Life and Football Podcast our special guest is Greg Taylor. Greg Taylor played his Highschool Football in Quincy Florida at James A Shanks HighSchool. Taylor played his College Football at Bethune Cookman. Taylor is currently a Reverend at the Excellence Church in Midway, Florida along side his wife Michelle Taylor. God appeared to Minister Greg Taylor and told him to start Exodus-Church of Deliverance. He gave the vision to Minister Taylor, just as He had given the vision of deliverance for the people of Israel to Moses. Upon receiving the vision from God, Minister Taylor, just like Moses, looked for excuses not to lead the people; however, God assured him that He would be with him. God told him to get the people prepared to make the transition to Midway, Florida. Midway is a fast growing, rural area that is easily accessible to Tallahassee, Quincy, Havana and the surrounding areas. Unlike with Moses, God told Minister Taylor that he would be the Moses and Joshua of the people and actually lead them into the Promised Land in Midway. The beginning of the Exodus-Church of Deliverance Ministry was launched with a seven day Exodus Deliverance Tent Crusade. The crusade was held July 1st through July 7th 2007 on Martin Luther King Blvd. in Quincy, Fl. While thought to be unconventional, Minister Taylor preached his own installation sermon on Saturday July 7th. He preached a sermon from the depths of his soul entitled “Just Because God Said It, That's Enough for Me”. God had told him to start Exodus-Church of Deliverance and although he thought it was a little strange and others questioned him, God had spoken and that was enough. Minister Taylor was installed as the Pastor of Exodus-Church of Deliverance. Along with Pastor Taylor, two other Christians became charter members of Exodus-Church of Deliverance.

Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease that causes blood cells to take the shape of a sickle and restricts the flow of blood. One in 12 African Americans are born with the trait, which means they are carriers but don't necessarily have the disease.Unfortunately, education about the disease is not common. Often, African Americans don't even know they have the sickle cell trait. The lack of understanding has also provided cover for law enforcement. The New York Times cited 46 cases of people with the disease who were tased, pepper-sprayed and deprived suspects of oxygen by police. When those actions resulted in death, police cited natural causes due to the presence of the sickle cell trait.On this episode of “The Word,” we are going to learn more about this rare blood disease from someone who not only has the disease but, is helping people living with chronic illness.Lathan Singleton III is not only living with sickle cell, he has lost family members to the disease. Now, he is using his experience to help others. Singleton is the founder of the Unspoken Hero Society. The nonprofit organization provides support, advocacy,  and tools to those affected by chronic illnesses.And, because blood donors are vital to those living with Sickle Cell and other chronic illnesses, the nonprofit is organizing a blood drive on June 17 at Christ Second Baptist Church, 1471 Martin Luther King Blvd.You can find out more about the blood drive, donate, or seek assistance with any chronic illness by visiting the Unspoken Hero website.
