👉 Have you ever felt called to something you didn’t look qualified for?

About this video

Alsbrooks recounts his transition from a 17-year career as a rapper and music producer to motivational speaking in 2017. He describes struggling with insecurity about his appearance—particularly his permanent gold teeth—believing his look didn’t fit the traditional preacher prototype and would prevent people from accepting his message. Alsbrooks explains how he argued with God about this for 18 months, hiding his image from social media and turning down lucrative speaking opportunities, until God told him to simply be obedient and authentic because some people would listen to him who wouldn’t respond to conventional religious figures.

Key takeaways

• Alsbrooks describes how insecurity about his appearance led him to hide his image and turn down over half a million dollars in speaking engagements
