Welcome to our podcast!
My name is Derek L. Calhoun. I will be your host for the Kingdom influencing Podcast; however, I hope to transcend the title of Host over the next coming weeks. My goal is to be a Father figure to some, a coach, mentor and or Pastor to others and a funnel of wisdom to the listening audience. I plan to wear a variety of hats as needed to help you advance your daily lives. My goal is to encourage, inspire, inform, invigorate and impart. We will surf or delve into a wide range of topics including Business Development, Marriage and Dating, Leadership, Christian Living and Practical Theology just to name a few. I will also have special guest that will add value to our lives. Allow me to introduce myself. I dabbled around the field of law for a season. I then discovered education and my penchant for shaping the next generation. In education, I worked as an English Instructor, a Consultant, an Adjunct Professor, a Policy Advocate for Educational Reform and a Dean of Students. I spent 20 years helping and encouraging, people in the Northeast as the Pastor of the historic, Grace Baptist Church in Norwalk, CT and the Co-founder of New Vision International Ministries, a trend -setting, non-denominational church in Bridgeport, CT. Currently, I am an author of a new book, “Pressing Into the Power”, which should be released later this year. I am also an Executive Strategist, helping executives develop modern day solutions for modern day problems. At the end of the day, I am a man who has been around the block a few times, who is currently reinventing himself. I have a vested interest in seeing you succeed in life and I pray that you will let me speak life into your divine destiny.
