“The life you live is a lie. I have plans for you.” Michael Williams Stover II heard as he was being attacked by 6 guys when he was 19. Michael had a cruel childhood living in section 8 housing, seeing cop cars drive by not to mention the gangs. Michael's mom spokes lies into him and he believed them.

When Michael’s brother was born he assumed the protective role over him. His mom was here and there and the men floating in an out of their lives found the boys to be an inconvenience. His mom would often point out that people were right, she should have aborted Michael. She would manipulate him with harsh words. Michael saw his classmates with normal functioning homes and wondered why he didn’t have that and why he couldn’t just be a kid.

Michael was fortunate enough to meet his dad who had matured and found God by the time they met. Unfortunately, Michael lost his dad when he was just 12. It was about this time too that he realized if he sought to make money that also got him out of his house. He had good people showing small acts of kindness. He knew it was God’s voice he heard at 19 while he was being attacked. And God wanted Michael to stop believing those lies so he could know his value and go on to help others find their value. You have got to listen to this episode to hear how the kind people he was exposed to while making money, meeting his dad, and learning his value turned his life around.
