Society and The Culture of the Kingdom
Kingdom Influencing Podcast
Hi, 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. I would also like to inspire, inform and invigorate. 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 shortly and I am 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.-

This "Super Bowl Special Edition" highlights the redemption of humanity. It takes a social object lesson built around one of the world's largest sporting events and creates a paradigm that says, "there is the potential for redemption when we least expect it!" Everything that goes down can go up again. It speaks to the fact, that rejection can be another term for a new beginning. Live life in expectation that with every low there is the possibility of redemption.

This podcast takes a look at the parallels of the people in America who have divided themselves behind respective movements and or political parties. Looking for the respective parties or the movement or someone in humanity to fix the social ills of this country.

David's 600 men were dependent on David. The families of David and the 600 men were dependent on the safe lifestyle they had developed at Ziklag. They thought to themselves.

In this episode we will discuss..... The Problem: Our modern society is primarily governed by a philosophy of relativity. It is called moral relativism. It primarily says, that every human can have its own theory about truth or what is right and what is wrong and be right in His own eyes even if their individual truths don’t mesh. This philosophy gives way to self-determination or self-rule. It allows for unchecked individualism.
The Question:The question today is how effective is the self-rule system?
The Example:For example, if I have a destination in life should I just get on the roadand travel blindly?
Let's get into it.
