The Shift
1:06 - “Even though the anger was an anchor for me back in the day. Now, it’s more like a foundation of what Christ has me doing.”
Realization
15:59 - ” I had to start realizing that I had to live each day as if it were my last and stop putting off what I can do today. Until tomorrow, stop being anchored to the past, and exercise in the gift and moving forward.”
Fear
19:39 - “And of course, you and I both know the acronym of fear has many different meanings to many people. We can either face everything and run, but I chose to face everything and raise false evidence that appears real. It also means things that you just shared about the things that we fear in most cases, you know, they never materialized, but because of this thing between our ears, perceptions. We are our own worst enemies.”
Gift
15:02 - “It wasn’t about the money, but it was about the peace of mind that I knew I had to pursue this gift that was within me. And that gift is tied to Proverbs 18:16, and your gift will make room for you, and bring you before the Great.”
Peace
16:29 - “Being a servant, you know, which is another contributor I talk about is Colossians 3:23, that talks about in whatever I do, I’m going to work at it with all my heart as if I’m working for God and not man. So in other words, that peace that I have within me, it surpasses all really understanding.”

He is the owner of Purpose Video Services, where his services, based on integrity, quality service, and follow-up without compromise.
At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, he felt the need to share his testimony in a book—with full transparency—to help any boys and men who might be struggling with the issues associated with abandonment. The mission of my book, “Abandonment, “The Plague of Most Men,” was written to share my life’s testimony in the most transparent, open, and vulnerable way, to encourage other men from the age of eighteen to their golden years. Abandonment—an unfortunate plague affecting many men is never discussed transparently, but such a discussion is necessary for true healing. He went from being an angry boy to a prideful and stubborn male who masqueraded as a man. His anger was birthed by the bullying he endured from first grade through high school. Damon’s book is ultimately about him going from being bullied, to bullying, to becoming a servant soldier for Jesus Christ because of a praying grandmother, mother, and wife. In the end, he finally learned to love Damon Jones, the forgiven son of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He had to embrace and accept the person he saw in the mirror every day. He accepts himself for who he is and WHO I am, despite what the world tells me.
He’s learned from my life experiences that it’s never too late to pursue your passion. He believes you’re awesome and powerful! You can do whatever you put your mind to! We all have a God-given gift, but I had to humble myself and step out of my comfort zone and stop being paralyzed by my fears to recognize my gift.
Everyone else around him recognized his gift except himself! It’s never too late! He shares this with all transparency because he wants you to live your life with even more fulfillment. You can do it! We weren’t created to exist but to be of service to others. Don’t let your fears paralyze you; allow them to propel you in the direction, calling you from deep within.
GET OUT OF FEAR AND CONFIDENTLY BELIEVE IN YOURSELF DESPITE WHATEVER THE PEOPLE AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE DICTATED TO YOU. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, AND YOU WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE.
