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.

Speaking Truth to Power

Friday Aug 13, 2021
The way Christianity has been marginalized around the world. There has to be a generation of believers who will speak Truth to Power. We are in the middle of an insurgence of socio-economic tension that will eventually lead this country to a tipping point of epoch proportions. In fact, I see a greater culture clash between the haves and have nots. This podcast begins to plant the seeds of advocacy that will be necessary to heal our families, communities, and the nation as this moral crisis escalates.

The Power of Patience explores an understanding of the necessity of walking in the fulfillment of The Maturation Point. If I do not mature as a human being, I will always live a frustrated life. In that life, I am the focal point of my own disappointment and frustration because I am self-willed and self-fulfilled. It is time for you to learn how to slow your roll so you can experience your true potential in life.

The Maturation Point is an exploration of the wisdom and movements of God. God has proven Himself to be a God of extreme patience. How do His calibrated movements and His effective strategies work in the life of humanity? Can we step out of our states of prematurity and enter into a place of maturation that mirrors the patient movements of the Son, who indelibly mirrors the Father to divine perfection.
