On this day in 2002, the world shifted — a new energy entered the Earth. My son, Zion Grant, was born. Today, he turns 23 years old.

This episode is a deeply personal tribute — not just to my son, but to the journey of fatherhood, faith, and fulfillment. From the moment we named him after the Holy City, I knew he would carry light. And he has. Zion, you’ve been the “adult double digits” since 20, and every year since has only magnified your purpose.

Through life’s many trials and triumphs, we’ve stood strong. I’ve watched promises come to life in you. I’m grateful beyond words to be your father.

Quote of the Episode:

“God has kept us through sooo many trials and tests… yet we welcome the challenges and choose to make impossible cry day after day.”

* Special Heavenly Shoutout Tangie Wilson - Thank you for the gift of our most amazing Son.

* Special Heavenly Born Day Shoutout.. Nasim Al Hakim aka.. LIVE - Thank you Brother for always being the best twin Ive ever could have asked for.

October 1, 1963.. 60 years ago the Angel, Brendalyn "BG" Grant was sent our family and this planet with such a special package. Her package was the Gift of Love and everywhere she traveled, others received it in abundance. In 2007, this Earthly Angel was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and she handled the disease with such grace as she smiled in the face of the unknown and fought til the very end. Though many believe that a cancer diagnoses is a death sentence.. Brendalyn left behind a playbook of how to beat such an ugly monster. This cancer attempts to steal the dignity and self worth that God gives at birth, not to mention some more important attributes; like femininity and confidence. Cancer did not stand a chance, as history has been recorded while cataloging this battle.

My dear sister led with love and received much in return, She was my Sister, my best friend, my 2nd Mother, and so much more. She was a wonderful Mother.. a loving daughter, a kind friend to all.. and an agent of Peace.. SHE IS STILL IS A BEACON OF LIGHT!! She believed in God, Womanhood, Love and securing the future for the our youth.

Ra shares a series of candid yet seriously, in depth conversations with other men about the one topic that men cannot run away from, FATHERHOOD! Be prepared to laugh at times, but please listen closely to the wisdom these men shared here within this episode.

As men... our roles, relationships and respect will forever be foundational as we navigate this world as leaders of our homes and lives. We must assume our rightful positions in life, for the rightful principles teaches us that.. All men are fathers. The inherent purpose of all men is fatherhood. Whether a man is married or single, and whether or not he has children, he is designed by God to fulfill the role of father in the lives of those around him. It is his calling to reflect the creative and cultivating nature of God.

Principles of Fatherhood: Priority, Position, and the Role of the Male

"No single or combination of ANYTHING, living between the heavenly stars and this green earth, that holds the POWER to ever cause my heart to throw away the gift of being your father." (Ra.. In Man)

Ra, returns back to the studio for an impromptu personal conversation, seeking to inform the beautiful women of the world that as Men, we also has something to important to say around the with Subject of Love. Explained from a sacred Masculine point of view...this is such a much needed piece of dialogue that in very timely for all women that is either believing or leaning towards believing that her relationship is doomed because her man may not be capable of understanding what the values of Love. Sistas, believe it or not, but as Men we too have something important to say about love. and like you.. we too take our positions just as serious when we are gifted with you to love, protect and provide for.

Sacred Masculinity: Strength without domination, leadership without force.

SPECIAL THANKS:

The WOMEN in we meet in this lifetime, my SISTERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, PAST LOVERS, ETC.. As we look deep into life's blurry mirrors to become better versions of ourselves, better men BETTER HUMANS. Please attempt to give us more grace as we shed the ignorance of Self and gain the Power of knowing ourselves.

Often times.. it is our ignorance, not our Intentions or hearts.
