Greetings Black Millennials 🤲🏽🙌🏽❤️
 
You are cordially invited to a dissertation study that explores the experiences of religious trauma among Black millennials in Black church settings. Some factors that can contribute to religious trauma include spiritual abuse, spiritual bypass, and church hurt.

This study will examine the current issues faced by Black millennials within the institution of the Black church, their lived experiences within Black church settings, and how they are creating spiritual and religious communities outside of traditional religious institutions.

Participants of all gender identities, sexual identities, and denominations are encouraged to participate. 

If you believe you or someone you know meets the eligibility criteria, we invite you to take a short screening demographic questionnaire, which takes approximately 7-10 minutes to complete.

Today’s Agenda: Now 
 
Now—immediate, current, present, considering a preceding event. 

Take a moment…. 

Think about where’ you’ve been…… 

Think about where you want to be…… 

What are you doing in this season to get you one step closer to that goal? 

Understand—what you do now impacts what comes next. If there is something you haven’t started, there is no better time to start than now. Remember, no matter the path, every journey begins with the first step. Take intentional steps each day and refuse to stop short of your goal.

Today’s Agenda: Time 
 
 
Time—a metric used to measure durations, periods, and increments of existence. 
 
 
“…If you can fill the unforgiving minute, With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! 
-If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
It is one of the greatest assumptions that we make in life. We cannot reverse its hands. When we lose loved ones, we wish we had more of it. For this reason, we all must be a bit more intentional with the time that remains. 
 
Since we can’t reverse the hands of time, we must use the time that remains wisely. Anything that’s worth the wait, is worth the time. Discipline your schedule by giving time and energy to who and what is aligned with your purpose. Be faithful to your purpose and be determined to wait until the appointed time for your breakthrough.

Today’s Agenda: Investment 
 
Investment—to devote and deposit something of value with the anticipation of a solid return. 
 
 
“…If you can make one heap of all your winnings, And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss…” -If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
 
As you prepare to make that next decision, think about the following: 

What’s the risk vs reward ratio? 
How does this decision align with your aspirations?
What’s the return of investment? 
 
Understand—you must be fully invested in your dreams to make them a reality. Part-time commitment will not yield full-time benefits. Be all in when it comes to your aspirations. Know your worth, devote yourself wisely, and you will see an abundant return on your investment.

Today’s Agenda: Attentiveness 
 
Attentiveness—thoughtful and focused energy that is harnessed for achieving a task. 
  
 
“…If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools” -If by Rudyard Kipling  
 
One of my favorite people, CTK, always holds me accountable when I’m giving more energy to a situation than it deserves. In his own way, his redirection is a reminder that my purpose is more important than the pettiness that will distract me from my destiny. Address situations as needed without giving any unnecessary access and attention. Observe the behavior without absorbing the energy. Assess the motives, attend to what’s necessary, and you will triumph over the trivial.

Today’s Agenda: Work 
 
 
Work—to exert the wholistic labor necessary to effectively achieve a favorable outcome. 
  
  
“…If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, To serve your tun long after they are gone’…”   -If by Rudyard Kipling  
 
 
Ever heard of the adage, “anything worth having is worth working for”? 
 
That lifestyle that you desire and deserve for yourself and the people you love won’t come easy. In fact, it isn’t something that comes—it’s something you build. It requires you to put your faith, gifts, and resources to work.  
 
Nobody is coming to save you and that reality alone is enough to get you going. The tools that you acquire will only work when you work them properly. Remember, only in the dictionary does success come before work. Put in the necessary work to help sharpen your repertoire and your work ethic will take your talents to another level.

Today’s Agenda: Effort 
 
Effort—perpetual, sincere attempts towards achieving a goal.  
 
“…And so hold on when there is nothing in you, Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’…”     -If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
Have you ever witnessed someone do something and you ask yourself, “is this real?” Like, is this person even trying at this point? Ok, let’s suppose they’re really trying. After all, we live in a world where Carl Lewis and Fergie have sung the national anthem. And there’s something to be learned from their performances and others—excellent execution begins with excellent effort.  

Understand—you can only reap to the effort that you sow. Nobody is coming to save you and that reality is enough to get you going. No matter what you aspire to do, learn from Fergie and Carl—shoot your shot and know your range. Give maximum effort to increase your chances of experiencing maximum results.  

No matter what your “IT” may be……It’s WORTH THE WAIT!

Today’s Agenda: Help 
 
Help—to assist, support, and aid one’s welfare, especially in times of distress. 
 
 
“…If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much…” -If by Rudyard Kipling 
 

Let’s be clear—life is a team sport. Regardless of our respective talents, gifts, and skills, nobody successfully navigates life by themselves. Even the most independent overachiever needs a solid team around them to be successful. So, what would our world look like if people received help on a regular basis? 

Every helper also needs help. While good blessings come to those who wait, greater fortune can also come to those who helps themselves and others. Go beyond your expertise and ego when receiving help from who want you to succeed. Provide insight to others without doing for them what they are to do for themselves. Remember, if everyone gives, then everyone receives, and everyone needs help on some level.

Today’s Agenda: Task 
 
Task—an assignment that is aligned with a greater purpose at work. 
 
 
“…If you can keep your head when all about you, Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…” 
-If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
There are moments where people create their own problems and get mad when you may not provide the solution they’re seeking. Moments when they may feel their poor planning constitutes an emergency on your part. Truth is, most people struggle with focusing on really matters. For this reason, you must focus on the task at hand. 

Understand—it’s better to execute one task efficiently than do multiple tasks poorly. As different tasks arise, you must discern which tasks are yours to resolve vs those you must relegate to someone else. Address each task as a steppingstone to the next level and you will never miss your assignment.

Today’s Agenda: Honor 
 
Honor—to hold in high esteem because of one’s integrity, reputation, and character. 
 
“…If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same….”   -If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
While my father and I favor, we also have our share of differences. Career is probably one of our biggest differences. He’s using his mind and hands as a self-employed electrician and I’m using my mind and hands to be a counselor educator. We’ve seen each other go through seasons of immense success, challenges, and conflict. Even when disagreements have come up, we’ve differed without being dishonorable.  

Sometimes, all we have is our word and our name, which is why both must be honorable. How we honor others is a direct reflection of how we honor ourselves. Honor the purposes and people that have been placed in your life and you will have integral intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships.

Today’s Agenda: Treasure 
 
Treasure—highly cherished, valued, loved, and affirmed as a precious jewel. 
 
“…If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim…” -If by Rudyard Kipling 
 
 “What do all those letters behind your name mean?” LOL - Mom 
 
After explaining each respective degree, licensure, and certification, I remember our conversation focusing on what really mattered. While she was proud of those credentials and the credentials to come, what she really valued was our relationship as mother and son. The value of having a son become a man that she is proud of beyond public success—that’s a true treasure. 
 
Cherish the people that you create memories with. Treat each moment as a timeless snapshot that ages well. Affirm the opportunities and people in your life as precious jewels to discover the true treasure of your experiences.
