Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

Welcome to Class 89 of "The Ramp" to the Highway of Success course for young men. I am Daniel Whyte III, chairman of the National Association to Save Young Black Men in partnership with the Martin Luther King Senior Institute for Young Men & Young Women. The Institute aims to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Sr., commonly referred to as "Daddy King", whom God used to raise the great leader, Martin Luther King Jr. Our purpose is to guide young men and young women, and help them get on the path to becoming kings and queens for the glory of God. I am your instructor for this course and the author of the ESSENCE national bestselling book "Letters to Young Black Men". We are using that book as the text and its study guide to guide you through the course. The study guide was developed with the help of Jamie McCallum (M.Div, Truett Theological Seminary), Charles Garrett (M.Div, Southwestern Theological Seminary), and now my youngest son Danyel Ezekiel Whyte who is in his third year of college. This course is for all young men, but especially for young black men and young men of color who oftentimes have a "difficult journey" in this great country called America. I call this class "the Ramp" to the Highway of Success because my goal is to get you on "the Ramp". As a man, you ought to be able to make it from there. Out of respect for you as a young man, my job is to get you on the ramp and point you in the right direction, not to tell you all the details once you get onto the highway of success. With God, you can do great things.

Welcome to the fifty-second episode of Equipping You in Grace. On today's episode, Dave Jenkins interviews Dr. David Prince about his book In the Arena: The Promise of Sports for Christian Discipleship (B&H, 2016). What you’ll hear in this episode: David's life, ministry, marriage, and his current ministry projects. How Christians should think about sports from an explicitly biblical worldview. How Christians should view being a fan of their sport teams while being sensitive to share more about Jesus. How sports and spiritual warfare go together. How Christians should pursue sports as a form of their discipleship. How can engaging in sports help Christians learn to build their identity around Christ. Courageous convictions verses safe sentimentality. How Christian’s interest in sports can be instructive and spur them on toward faithfulness to the gospel. About the Author: David E. Prince is pastor of preaching and vision at Ashland Avenue Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky and assistant professor of Christian preaching at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
