Purpose by Design welcomes Stephon Leary - a child of the Lord, a mentor, speaker, author and so much more. He is so motivating and has a powerful testimony to share.
Stephon had a tremendous situation happen at the age of 17 - he was adopted by a white family (he compares to the Blind Side) - which did change his life indefinitely.
For many years until 2020, he always lived like he was a black man adopted by a white family. When the Corona virus hit - it all changed. He shares a bit about his rough childhood that had domestic abuse on a normal basis, until his mother grabbed him and his siblings ran away to Houston, Texas to start a new life.
Stephon revisits how he and his siblings would come home during the school day and go back to bed until their mother was threatened with jail time if they don’t attend. As life went on, all of his siblings dropped out of school using substances daily. Stephon chose to stay in school, and go a different route. He started playing sports and got noticed fast. He had an attitude however.
He had a humbling and quite painful moment when there was an MVP award up for grabs and he got turned down saying his character didn’t fit the award. See, Stephon thought it was about fighting your way to the top no matter what it took.
God lined things up where Stephon had the opportunity to go to a Christian school, where his adopted mother who worked at the school told Stephon that God put him in her heart and said he has a place to stay if he goes to that school. He was welcomed with open arms and he was a part of that family, and was going to a solid school. The love he got from that family showed him God’s love and broke the curse.
Stephon’s message is to bring out and tap into the greatness inside of you because you do have it, and can do so much in your life. He encourages that we are built to last through tough times, go through seasons in our lives. God is there through it all.
You are strong enough to go through it. He explains the most in-depth Lion King analysis you will ever hear of Rafiki talking to Simba, telling him to look deeper at his reflection, and how his father lives in him even though physically gone. Does this sound like our God a bit? Something you surely will want to hear!
