Louisville Legend Patrick Henry Hughes joins the show to share his incredible story of how he learned to play music at just four months old despite being born without eyes and the ability to straighten his arms and legs, and how with the sacrifices and help of his dad, he became a member of the University of Louisville's marching band. Patrick is also the author of the book I Am Potential: 8 Lessons on Living, Loving, and Reaching Your Dreams, as well as a motivational speaker. He touches on some of the lessons in his book with Benny T and the messages he shares when speaking to groups, as well as what the phrase "I Am Potential" means, being more than you think you can be, and achieving your goals and dreams in life.

Here is a lesson on Embracing your Limitations. A limitation is something that is restricting. It hinders and holds back. We often look at our inadequacies or inabilities and automatically write off what we can and can't do for the Lord. Today we take a look at a man named Patrick Henry Hughes and a widow in the Bible who had a husband pass away and now shes about to lose her sons as well. She embraced her limitations, did what she COULD DO and the word of the Lord was performed in a mighty way in her life! Thank you for continuing to listen, like, and share Cross Talk.

Love for family drives both Patrick John Hughes and his son, Patrick Henry Hughes, to expand possibilities. Patrick Henry was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making him unable to walk. He has overcome these physical issues to excel as a musician and public speaker. Musician Patrick Henry has flourished with the support of his family. His father, Patrick John, sees his blessings with family as his driving inspiration to serve them each day. Patrick Henry played in the University of Louisville Marching Band for five seasons with help from his father, who tirelessly maneuvered Patrick Henry’s wheelchair through the formations during practices and games. During this time, his dad spent his days attending classes on campus assisting his son and working the overnight shift. Patrick Henry speaks fluent Spanish, and in 2010 graduated from U of L magna cum laude. The pair made appearances all across the USA and even shared their story internationally. They were featured on ESPN, “Oprah,” “The Ellen Show,” “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “The Today Show,” and many others. Their book, “I Am Potential,” was turned into a feature-length film by the same name. Patrick has also recorded two musical CDs. Patrick Henry resides in Louisville with his father and mother (Patricia), and has two brothers, Cameron and Jesse.

Patrick Henry Hughes was born enabled. His father, Patrick John, relates that when Patrick was four months old, the sound of the piano soothed the child, and by the time Patrick Henry was a-one-year old he was playing tunes on the piano. In the ensuing years Patrick Henry learned to play the trumpet and developed his voice. When Patrick applied to college he wanted to be in the pep band. The band director said ‘no problem’, however, all pep band members were also members of the marching band. This was somewhat of an obstacle for Patrick since he was born without eyes and had a muscle disease that made him wheelchair-bound. His father said that he’d be willing to move Patrick around in the formations. And so what is extraordinary for some is normal for this family. We talk to the two Patrick’s and hear about their new book, I Am Potential. Listening to the optimism of the Hughes family, where Patrick is the oldest of three boys, I can’t help but feel the strength and devotion of Patrick Henry’s parents. Eight lessons on living, loving, and reaching your dreams. “Home for the holidays?” Or, “let’s get this party started?” The holidays can be a stressful time for families under the best of circumstances.

What to do about gifts and gift lists, and how to handle the lure of those attractive TV commercials?  Ellen and Katy share some of their experiences with their children and what works for them.
