A tale of tales:

As a growing Man from the inner city of one of the biggest cities in this Country, we battle so many trails that we tend to unintentionally forget who we are. We forget our purpose, and most importantly we forget the power we possess through a Higher GOD & a community of Leaders and worshippers. I nearly forgot who I was, a mission I set for myself to find myself again, I found my Helmet of Salvation through some very amazing outlets @tqfmin @osiris8.booque.home #flowthroughwinter @southcentral.run @eldente @westillsprintclub @weloveleimert 🫀❤️‍🔥💐. All these outlets literally prepared me for this Moment, a LA Marathon Medalist 🏅. taken in Los Angeles, California by @itwasalwaysjared

2024 has to be one of the most GROUNDBREAKING years for Me, and it came at the cusp of the end of the Year. The Amount of blessings that poured into me I could never imagine it would come like this, I am eternally grateful for how the LORD has literally flowed his love and knowledge of his Word into my LIFE. I surrendered everything that would hold me back and would hold me from being the REAL me. I have been reminded COUNTLESS times this year of the “REAL ME” deep inside that I would hide, but not anymore! I’M NOW A FREE MAN, GIVING ALL THE PRAISE ✝️❤️‍🔥! by @itwasalwaysjared

For those who really know me know I’m a big wrestling Fan, and God told me the reason Why. He said, “you resonate with it so much cuz you show so much pride in being a great wrestler 🤼! You wrestle with your own growth, you wrestle with Me, you fight Me often and you take pride in not facing your fears. You show great strength in protecting that, why won’t you let go? Rest in Me and stop fighting, SURRENDER!” I fought for a long time and I let it all go in 2025, I’m renewed, I have been restored and I must move into my calling and not wrestle anymore. I’m no longer “JAyP”, not because of what came with that name because I’ll always have that apart of me and it will always live in my story, but I’ve grown out of that. I AM WHO I ALWAYS WAS, JARED!! JUST RENEWED!!! ANOTHER YEAR, MORE STEPS TO GROW, AND MORE HORSES TO RIDE 🐎 ❤️‍🔥✝️! CHEERS! by @itwasalwaysjared

A Woman of GOD, A PIONEER, a VISIONARY, A BEACON, A ROLE MODEL!! 💗💐
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @saidahgray I LOVE YOU! And also Happy 1 Year anniversary to us as well, we fought a tough fight for this 1 year LORD HAVE MERCY 😅😂🤌🏾

I need to be Very Vulnerable with you all right now, which has never been me! I’m a quiet and heavily reserved, I don’t really garner the energy to speak on most things in my Life, which I have learned that it’s not good for the most part. So here I am being vulnerable about the Woman I fell in love with. Best believe she is on my bumper about EVERYTHING I DO! I never had this in a relationship so it be working me to the core, and in return I’ve given her a lot of push back not because I don’t Love her but because through my Trauma I push back on that type of Love. But she’s stuck with me and she doesn’t give up on who I am and who I AM TO BE!

FOR THAT I HAVE TO DO THE WORK NECESSARY TO HONOR AND WORK ON MY TRAUMA DEEP INSIDE, DEEP IN THE MUDDY PITS OF WHAT I GO THROUGH AND WORK ON ELIMINATING THAT FROM MY SPIRIT AND MINDSET!!! I REBUKE AND I SURRENDER TO GOD THOSE TRAUMATIC RESPONSES!!!

She sees me in my truest form and she pushes me like a NFL Coach to know who I am and to know my GOD! This why I come a whole lot different and this is why I Respect and honor WOMEN because WOMEN show you who you are and they will show you who you NEED TO BE! For that Baby I honor everything you are and everything you strive to be and push me to be! taken in Manhattan Beach Pier by @itwasalwaysjared

May your enduring, sweet, understanding, and protective Soul REST 🥀 Happy Fathers Day Pops

As I sit here going through my stages of Grief and understandings of what the Lord tells and shows me through my Trials and how it will guide me to a better understanding of Surrendering and Worship. I just want to make sure I share the world the MAN you worked so hard to share and BE! Thank you for all the talks, warnings, messages, and Love you shown me. The power of your examples through consistency. Whatever it was you always showed it in consistency, even if it was never looked at or presented the same, it was verbally or physically SHOWN and for that I am forever grateful. I will continue the work you bestowed upon me and take it even Further and build on showing that same consistency and Humor you shown me to my Children through the LORDS eyes and guidance. REST WELL YOU HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB, I’ll take it from Here! YAHWEH has you now and that consistency now will be shown for you. REST ❤️‍🔥 by @itwasalwaysjared
