Welcome back, when I got
into recovery I thought the best
00:00:14.30\00:00:18.23
I could do was
not do drugs anymore.
00:00:18.26\00:00:20.54
I'm sure listening to Reginald
the best he could do was
00:00:20.58\00:00:24.10
just not be
involved in all that.
00:00:24.13\00:00:26.46
When I had my first child,
all of a sudden I looked at
00:00:26.49\00:00:29.85
her and wanted
everything for her.
00:00:29.89\00:00:31.68
I wanted her to never to
have the same experience that I
00:00:31.72\00:00:34.62
had with drugs and being on
the streets and all that stuff,
00:00:34.66\00:00:37.53
it is really different
when you start having kids.
00:00:37.57\00:00:40.81
You want the best for them.
00:00:40.85\00:00:42.62
I know for Reginald, when I
met his family, and looked at
00:00:42.66\00:00:46.72
his family and they are
so amazing and beautiful.
00:00:46.75\00:00:49.89
So I'm going to
have you meet them.
00:00:49.92\00:00:52.51
The generational thing
that stops when we get into
00:00:52.55\00:00:56.29
recovery is
absolutely incredible.
00:00:56.33\00:00:59.41
When everybody starts turning
around, I have a daughter
00:00:59.44\00:01:02.81
that is 21 that has
never done a drug or drank.
00:01:02.85\00:01:05.55
Sometimes I say whose child
is this, because that is not
00:01:05.59\00:01:08.69
my background,
but she is amazing.
00:01:08.73\00:01:10.51
When I met you Marquand, I
was so excited because I knew
00:01:10.55\00:01:14.72
your dad, I knew that he
had been through some pretty
00:01:14.76\00:01:18.89
incredible things, but I
also knew that you were such
00:01:18.93\00:01:22.90
a serious man of God already.
00:01:22.93\00:01:25.87
I want to say welcome to the
show and thank you for coming.
00:01:25.91\00:01:28.30
I'm glad to be here.
00:01:28.34\00:01:30.03
- you have heard your dad
tell a little bit about where
00:01:30.07\00:01:34.23
he came from, what
do you think of that?
00:01:34.27\00:01:35.74
Well he had a pretty
rough background and he has come
00:01:35.77\00:01:39.74
a long way, but God
has led him through it.
00:01:39.77\00:01:42.03
Whenever I hear his testimony
I think about Saul when
00:01:42.07\00:01:45.77
he became
converted and became Paul.
00:01:45.81\00:01:47.57
Saul he was a rough man,
he went around persecuting
00:01:47.61\00:01:50.78
everyone who believed in
Jesus, that Jesus was God.
00:01:50.82\00:01:54.16
- angry. - Yeah
angry he was bitter.
00:01:54.19\00:01:58.02
Then God converted him
on a street called straight,
00:01:58.06\00:02:01.85
while he was going to
Damascus to arrest and
00:02:01.89\00:02:04.08
kill some more Christians.
00:02:04.11\00:02:05.54
I know that if He can
change a man like my dad,
00:02:05.57\00:02:08.83
if He can change a man
like Saul, then certainly He can
00:02:08.86\00:02:12.15
change anyone, anyone so.
00:02:12.18\00:02:14.96
So what is interesting is
that you have never known your
00:02:14.99\00:02:17.66
dad to be the guy that he
was talking about earlier?
00:02:17.69\00:02:20.32
- No I haven't. -
gangster all angry and stuff.
00:02:20.35\00:02:23.77
Your dad is pretty
gentle. - yes he is.
00:02:23.81\00:02:25.99
That is so cool,
so how old are you?
00:02:26.03\00:02:28.34
I'm 12 years
old. - and what grade?
00:02:28.38\00:02:30.82
I'm in seventh
grade. - on drugs yet?
00:02:30.86\00:02:33.27
No! - any gangs yet? - no!
00:02:33.30\00:02:35.54
Are you going to
do that? - never!
00:02:35.57\00:02:38.05
Because your parents
taught you not to? - right!
00:02:38.08\00:02:41.28
My dad is like, you should
never do that, never ever.
00:02:41.32\00:02:46.32
When your dad, when you
dad starts teach you that,
00:02:46.36\00:02:49.79
you know that he is
teaching you from his heart?
00:02:49.82\00:02:53.18
Right, he had the experience
and he doesn't want me to go
00:02:53.21\00:02:55.99
through the same thing.
00:02:56.02\00:02:57.28
Does he tell you that
sometimes? - yes he does!
00:02:57.31\00:02:59.58
In your life, tell me what
your life has been like as far
00:02:59.61\00:03:03.42
as God and home and
all that kind of stuff?
00:03:03.45\00:03:06.51
Well to me God is
my best, best friend.
00:03:06.54\00:03:09.05
My best friend in
the whole entire world.
00:03:09.09\00:03:11.53
I'm glad that I have a
great role model of a father
00:03:11.57\00:03:15.71
figure that I can follow now.
00:03:15.75\00:03:17.54
You don't have that emptiness
that your dad talked about,
00:03:17.57\00:03:21.79
because your dad's been
in your life the whole time?
00:03:21.83\00:03:25.19
- the whole time yeah!
00:03:25.23\00:03:26.36
Could you even imagine
your dad not being there?
00:03:26.40\00:03:28.70
Not really, now when I see
him and him involved in prison
00:03:28.74\00:03:33.31
ministries, preaching from
churches, in some churches.
00:03:33.34\00:03:36.96
You know I can't even
imagine him being in a gang or
00:03:37.00\00:03:40.58
prison or anything like that.
00:03:40.62\00:03:43.03
- Nor are not with you.
00:03:43.07\00:03:44.19
So when I met you guys
what I thought was the funniest
00:03:44.22\00:03:47.39
thing, somebody said
will he just got done with
00:03:47.42\00:03:49.99
a seminar, like a 21 week
seminar, I thought they were
00:03:50.03\00:03:54.81
talking about your dad.
00:03:54.85\00:03:56.18
I'm like well that is
cool, they said no, no I was
00:03:56.22\00:03:59.13
talking Marquand just got done.
00:03:59.17\00:04:01.04
I'm looking at you
and thinking no way.
00:04:01.07\00:04:03.57
I remember even asking you,
so tell us a little bit about
00:04:03.60\00:04:06.83
that, you just did a seminar.
00:04:06.87\00:04:08.30
Well actually it was 21 night
seminar in Arkansas and what
00:04:08.34\00:04:13.13
we did was 10 nights at
the mall, then we went over to
00:04:13.16\00:04:17.92
the church and we
did 11 nights there.
00:04:17.95\00:04:21.05
After it all five people came
and wanted to join a church,
00:04:21.09\00:04:25.95
or be baptized, or come
in by profession of faith.
00:04:25.98\00:04:28.39
So how did you set up for that?
00:04:28.43\00:04:33.94
Tell me how you
learned how to do that?
00:04:33.98\00:04:36.95
Did someone instruct you,
and I want to hear everything.
00:04:36.99\00:04:40.33
And then I want to hear that,
what you thought about teaching.
00:04:40.37\00:04:42.95
Because when someone looks
at your age they think he is
00:04:42.99\00:04:45.32
too young to even
know what he is teaching.
00:04:45.35\00:04:47.29
I don't believe that about
you anymore, I think you know
00:04:47.32\00:04:49.85
exactly what you are teaching.
00:04:49.88\00:04:51.33
Well it began by my dad
talking to the Pastor Travis.
00:04:51.36\00:04:55.97
They was talking and said
we need a revival or something.
00:04:56.00\00:05:00.43
They my dad was like let
my son preach, he can preach a
00:05:00.46\00:05:04.85
revival, with God's
help he can do anything.
00:05:04.89\00:05:07.88
I was like yeah, he
asked if I wanted to do it?
00:05:07.91\00:05:10.83
I was like sure, that's
more souls coming to Christ.
00:05:10.86\00:05:14.37
The more people that can
learn the truth and learn how
00:05:14.41\00:05:17.88
to become followers of
Jesus, so I was like it
00:05:17.92\00:05:20.27
would be a blessing to do this.
00:05:20.30\00:05:23.27
So the Pastor started working
with me, he showed me how
00:05:23.30\00:05:27.93
to do the PowerPoint.
00:05:27.96\00:05:29.89
Right, how to actually do
the Scripture and whatever you
00:05:29.92\00:05:32.92
are teaching, give me an
example of one of the nights
00:05:32.96\00:05:36.09
teachings and what kind
of things you talked about?
00:05:36.12\00:05:40.48
I talked about Revelation
and Daniel and how to unlock
00:05:40.51\00:05:44.74
the keys to prophecy so
people can better understand.
00:05:44.77\00:05:48.68
They think that Revelation
is just a book full of
00:05:48.72\00:05:52.60
monsters and just a scary book.
00:05:52.63\00:05:55.81
Revelation is the book of
insights, like what will happen
00:05:55.84\00:06:00.95
in the end time. - it's huge.
00:06:00.98\00:06:03.29
And once you open that,
the Bible talks about there is
00:06:03.33\00:06:06.46
a special blessing for
someone who gets into this book.
00:06:06.50\00:06:09.60
So the Pastor taught
you how to teach that?
00:06:09.64\00:06:12.42
Yeah! - how incredible.
00:06:12.46\00:06:14.50
Are you like a
normal kid at school?
00:06:14.53\00:06:16.63
Do you know what I mean,
it's like I feel like I'm
00:06:18.12\00:06:21.01
talking to a Pastor,
but at school you are just
00:06:21.04\00:06:23.89
a normal kid, right?
00:06:23.93\00:06:25.58
Yeah, I try to mingle
with the kids and befriend them
00:06:25.62\00:06:29.54
and I tell them about
Christ as we go along and become
00:06:29.57\00:06:34.22
best friends and then I
can tell them about Jesus.
00:06:34.26\00:06:38.87
One of my friends,
his name is Doug Scharlin,
00:06:38.91\00:06:43.06
he was a Muslim and
every day on the school bus or
00:06:43.10\00:06:46.62
playground, he would come
to me and say can you tell me
00:06:46.66\00:06:50.15
more stories about Jesus?
00:06:50.18\00:06:51.99
Can you tell me
because I want to learn more.
00:06:52.03\00:06:54.10
He told me that in his religion
that they respect all the
00:06:54.13\00:07:00.01
other churches and they know
that Jesus, He is a prophet.
00:07:00.05\00:07:04.98
They do not know Him as the
Son of God, but I just started
00:07:05.01\00:07:09.91
talking to him and he
told me stories of the Koran.
00:07:09.94\00:07:12.80
I was like wow,
they are so identical.
00:07:12.84\00:07:16.99
- they are so similar,
other than one is saying that
00:07:17.02\00:07:20.05
Jesus is the Son of
God, and one is saying
00:07:20.08\00:07:23.10
Jesus is a prophet, did
he ever come around to that?
00:07:23.13\00:07:25.50
Well! - or are you
guys still talking?
00:07:25.53\00:07:28.54
We are just talking and
actually his mom was working in
00:07:28.57\00:07:33.20
the mall where we
did the seminar at,
00:07:33.23\00:07:36.58
and she heard me speak.
00:07:36.62\00:07:38.25
One night he was up
there and he got a chance
00:07:38.29\00:07:41.49
to hear me speak.
00:07:41.52\00:07:42.72
- so you did some of the
prophecy seminar in the mall?
00:07:42.75\00:07:45.98
That is incredible,
that is an unusual place
00:07:46.02\00:07:49.67
to do a seminar.
00:07:49.71\00:07:51.46
Most people they go to
the mall, some people go to
00:07:53.81\00:07:56.36
the mall just to walk
around and when they come up
00:07:56.39\00:07:58.87
and see a little short guy
up there on the stage teaching
00:07:58.91\00:08:02.47
people, they stopped
there at the front of the
00:08:02.51\00:08:05.47
door and just listen.
00:08:05.51\00:08:07.62
Show me something about
what you do as far as when you
00:08:07.65\00:08:12.02
want to change someone's life.
00:08:12.06\00:08:13.78
To introduce the gospel to
someone who may not even know
00:08:13.82\00:08:16.52
anything, so I would
like you to show us that.
00:08:16.55\00:08:19.23
And you will have to do
a little bit slower because
00:08:19.26\00:08:21.82
the camera has to pick
that up, but it is amazing to me
00:08:21.85\00:08:24.37
what you showed me.
00:08:24.40\00:08:25.64
So imagine that you are
talking to someone that just
00:08:25.67\00:08:28.89
doesn't know anything about God.
00:08:28.93\00:08:31.16
Imagine this as you full of
sin, sinful, into gangs, drunk,
00:08:37.02\00:08:44.26
alcohol, strung out,
everything you're just in
00:08:44.29\00:08:47.40
your mess and your messed up.
00:08:47.43\00:08:49.30
This is heaven, this is
the goal that everyone wants to
00:08:49.34\00:08:52.41
reach, no one
wants to go to hell.
00:08:52.45\00:08:54.45
Everyone wants to go to
heaven to that beautiful light.
00:08:54.48\00:08:57.42
But you cannot go to
heaven because of your sin.
00:08:57.46\00:09:00.93
God doesn't allow sin into
heaven, so He sent His only Son
00:09:00.96\00:09:06.19
Jesus, to come and
die on the cross for you.
00:09:06.22\00:09:08.62
So that you may have life
and have it more abundantly.
00:09:08.66\00:09:12.05
So you can go to
heaven and have eternal life.
00:09:12.09\00:09:15.33
Whenever someone dies, you
go to their funeral and then
00:09:15.36\00:09:19.13
you go to the graveyard
and they put them in the grave.
00:09:19.17\00:09:22.93
Now when Jesus died, they
put Him inside of the tomb,
00:09:22.97\00:09:28.66
but on early Sunday morning
He rose up from the grave.
00:09:28.69\00:09:33.82
He got up out of that tomb
and now because of what Jesus
00:09:33.86\00:09:38.86
has done, you have a way
to that light, because of what
00:09:38.90\00:09:43.87
Jesus did on the cross.
00:09:43.90\00:09:45.56
Now there is a pathway that
you can go on to go to heaven.
00:09:45.59\00:09:50.97
You have a choice, you can
decide right today, right now.
00:09:51.00\00:09:55.48
Do you want to hold onto
God's hand and go to heaven,
00:09:55.52\00:09:59.96
or do you want to let
go and perish in hell?
00:10:00.00\00:10:03.79
If you want Jesus to come to
your heart, all you have to do
00:10:03.82\00:10:08.47
is pray, read the Bible, have
Bible studies and share your
00:10:08.50\00:10:13.11
testimony all around the world.
00:10:13.15\00:10:15.03
- that is incredible.
00:10:15.06\00:10:17.18
You know I asked you one
time if you memorized that
00:10:17.21\00:10:19.26
or do you believe that? I
believe it with all my heart.
00:10:19.30\00:10:22.58
- you believe that, and it
is interesting to me in one
00:10:22.61\00:10:26.86
generation your dad making
a choice to come around and
00:10:26.90\00:10:31.11
change his life, that
gives you the opportunity
00:10:31.15\00:10:34.06
to change your life
00:10:34.09\00:10:35.98
Could you imagine if you
were born with him when he was
00:10:36.01\00:10:39.26
out running gangs
and doing all that stuff?
00:10:39.29\00:10:41.70
You would be a
whole different person.
00:10:41.74\00:10:43.40
Right, and I'm glad you
mentioned when I was born
00:10:43.43\00:10:47.35
because when I was born my
grandmother told me the story.
00:10:47.39\00:10:51.34
I was born in Florida, not
Florida but Atlanta, Georgia.
00:10:51.37\00:10:55.80
When I was born I wasn't
breathing, so my grandma was
00:10:55.84\00:11:00.23
afraid because it
was her first grandson.
00:11:00.27\00:11:03.31
So she went
outside and prayed for me.
00:11:03.34\00:11:06.31
When she came back in she
saw that my heart was beating
00:11:06.35\00:11:11.25
and that I was breathing again.
00:11:11.29\00:11:13.52
So I'm a living testimony,
I'm a living witness that God,
00:11:13.55\00:11:17.12
He is a mighty God, and I
love Him with all my heart.
00:11:17.15\00:11:20.05
Exactly and even your
grandmother said that you could
00:11:20.08\00:11:22.95
not have been here,
but we prayed for you.
00:11:22.98\00:11:25.87
When you think about your
life and what you want to do as
00:11:25.91\00:11:31.31
far as in your future,
what do you want to do?
00:11:31.35\00:11:34.16
What kind of dreams do you have?
00:11:34.20\00:11:35.87
Well, I told myself that when
I grow up this is my Marquand
00:11:35.91\00:11:40.77
Ministry and I enjoy doing this.
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.91
I do not want to be a
Pastor and just Pastor a church.
00:11:42.95\00:11:47.99
I want to go around.
00:11:48.02\00:11:49.78
- your calling
isn't a Pastoral calling?
00:11:49.81\00:11:52.84
No it isn't, I want to go
around the world and share with
00:11:52.87\00:11:57.59
other countries and
be like in an evangelist.
00:11:57.63\00:12:00.37
Go round and tell other
people about the love of God,
00:12:00.41\00:12:04.18
and how they can receive it.
00:12:04.21\00:12:05.63
You had five baptisms,
there are sometimes I've heard
00:12:05.67\00:12:09.77
Mark Finley or Billy Graham
there are all kinds of people
00:12:09.81\00:12:13.88
that go out there and
have hundreds of thousands of
00:12:13.92\00:12:16.60
baptisms, so you are
saying that is what you want?
00:12:16.64\00:12:19.21
I could tell by your
eyes just lit up when I said
00:12:19.24\00:12:22.16
that, so you want to
change the world? - yes I do.
00:12:22.20\00:12:25.04
That is incredible, we are
going to go ahead and take a
00:12:25.08\00:12:28.97
break but I am overwhelmed
by the ability of God to come
00:12:29.00\00:12:32.46
into someone's life, not only
come into someone's life but
00:12:32.49\00:12:35.91
change everything, change
everything for generations,
00:12:35.95\00:12:39.70
change everything for the
future of Reginald's children
00:12:39.73\00:12:43.90
are going to be some pastors,
some evangelist, doctors,
00:12:43.94\00:12:48.07
all that kind of stuff.
00:12:48.11\00:12:49.30
When you come back I want
you to meet this whole family
00:12:49.33\00:12:52.44
because his entire family
has been changed because this
00:12:52.48\00:12:55.55
man stood up and
decided not only to do recovery,
00:12:55.58\00:12:58.44
because recovery when I
talk about celebrating life in
00:12:58.47\00:13:03.08
recovery, or stepping
out of your addictions,
00:13:03.11\00:13:05.48
none of that is easy.
00:13:05.52\00:13:07.24
When Reginald talked about
I want a drink, I'm not sure
00:13:07.28\00:13:11.08
I can do this, it is like
you make decisions over and over
00:13:11.12\00:13:14.89
and over and over again.
00:13:14.93\00:13:16.18
Sometimes they are hard
and you really have to fight
00:13:16.21\00:13:17.94
through that initial life change
fight through learning how
00:13:17.98\00:13:21.06
not to lie and manipulate and
dealing with anger, dealing with
00:13:21.10\00:13:24.15
your alcohol, drugs
and all that kind of stuff.
00:13:24.18\00:13:26.52
But as soon as you start
doing that, as soon as you
00:13:26.55\00:13:29.12
maintain your recovery,
as soon as you start really
00:13:29.15\00:13:31.65
looking at and developing
your life, everything changes.
00:13:31.68\00:13:34.90
Your children, your
home, everything changes.
00:13:34.93\00:13:38.51
That is amazing to me so we
are going take a break and come
00:13:38.55\00:13:41.37
back and I will have you
meet the rest of the family.
00:13:41.40\00:13:44.64
And his wife because he
has talked about his wife and I
00:13:44.67\00:13:47.84
want you to meet everybody and
then we're going to close out
00:13:47.87\00:13:50.19
with that, so stay with
us because it is amazing.
00:13:50.23\00:13:52.31
