A Word from Dave…

There has been so much negative and ignorant response to the above list that I felt I needed to respond and teach; that is what teachers do. So to clear up any confusion from others’ blogs and comments about us, we are adding this commentary to this posting. —Dave

*****

Over the last two decades, my company has taught people what the Bible says about money: getting on a plan ... in the Bible; getting out of debt … in the Bible; living on less than you make … in the Bible; saving money and thereby building wealth … in the Bible; being generous and remembering God owns it all … in the Bible. We teach living like no one else so that later you can live and GIVE like no one else. Our lessons are about getting your family under control financially so you can take care of your own household first. We also teach the importance of giving no matter where you are in the process, first with tithing and then with extraordinary generosity when you’re able. We have always taught that responsible generosity is the natural walk for a believer. Anyone who has attended our courses or read our work knows this is a fact.

In addition to that, I have railed on things where the poor are oppressed in our culture—things like payday lending, rent-to-own, or our own government-sponsored oppression, the lottery.

Because of this, I am amazed at how many of my brothers and sisters in Christ have attacked us because of a simple list posted on our website. Maybe it shouldn't amaze me in our Twitter culture—where immature people now study, reflect, research and communicate in only 140 characters—yet it still does. The piece in question is a simple list outlining the habits of the poor versus the habits of the rich. It could just as easily have been a different list of the habits of the obese versus the habits of the physically fit.

What saddens me is that some members of our culture are so doctrinally shallow and so spiritually immature that the reaction was often rude, inappropriate or outright abusive. This reaction is sad because it’s focused only on this one little list, not on our body of work. When you actually bother to look into what we teach, you find generosity and grace taught throughout. This reaction is sad because it’s not even a reflection of what that little list actually says. This reaction is sad because it is a reflection of how politicized, immature and doctrinally ignorant some members of our Christian culture are.

This list simply says your choices cause results. You reap what you sow. Is the research perfect? No. It is a small sample, but it does pass the common-sense smell test. Does this research or the reason for posting it have anything to do with third-world countries? No. Anyone with good walking-around sense can see that this is a first-world discussion. Is this list a way of hating the poor? Seriously? Grow up.

There is a direct correlation between your habits, choices and character in Christ and your propensity to build wealth in non-third-world settings. To dispute that or attribute hate to that statement is immature and ignorant. To assume that our ministry hates the poor is ludicrous and is a reflection more on you than on our work or our beliefs.

Biblically speaking, poverty is caused and perpetuated primarily by some combination of three things:
1. Personal habits, choices and character;
2. Oppression by people taking advantage of the poor;
3. The myriad of problems encountered if born in a third-world economy.


The third-world economy is and should be a whole different discussion. If you are broke or poor in the U.S. or a first-world economy, the only variable in the discussion you can personally control is YOU. You can make better choices and have better results. If you believe that our economy and culture in the U.S. are so broken that making better choices does not produce better results, then you have a problem. At that point your liberal ideology has left the Scriptures and your politics have caused you to become a fatalist.

One of the main reasons our culture has prospered is because of our understanding and application of biblical truths. Bible-believing Christians believe in sowing and reaping—what the world calls cause and effect—as well as in God’s sovereignty and providence. The scientific method you should have learned in seventh-grade science class is based on sowing and reaping (cause and effect). Bible-believing Christians understand God has called us to have an impact, to take dominion, on our environment, and logic follows that our habits, choices and character have consequences and harvests. For over 200 years, that belief system has led to life-changing industry, inventions and a standard of living never known before on this planet. This is not hate; on the contrary, it is love.

My wife and I started our lives with almost nothing, eating off a card table and driving two cars that did not total $2,000 in value. We were broke, but we did not believe that was our destiny. Over the next several years, we grew a real estate fortune, but lost all of that due to bad decisions and choices. And yes, it was all my fault. I was scared, beat up, beat down, and worn out with two small children and a marriage hanging on by a thread. But the Bible doesn’t say I’m a victim; God’s Word says I am a child of the King. So we began the long process of rebuilding our lives twenty-five years ago. God has blessed our efforts and we have done well, and for that I am incredibly grateful and humbled.

Despite these blessings, there are others who have far more than I do. The talents and treasures on this earth are not distributed equally, and that is not fair—or is it? God has chosen to give most of you better hair than me, to make Tiger Woods a better golfer than me, to make Brad Paisley a better guitarist than me, and to make Max Lucado a better writer than me. With God’s grace, I am fine with that. I am not angry at them, and I don’t think they have done something wrong by becoming successful. As I’ve matured, I’ve come to realize that God is indeed fair, but fair does not mean equal.

My team and I are loving teachers who understand that people’s best shot at having a better life is to make better choices, have better habits, and grow their character. Our long track record of helping people shouts what we believe. We love Christ, we love people, and we believe the Bible’s teachings are the answer to the world’s struggles. We will continue to put them forth in the marketplace, and we will fight for our right to do so regardless of whether you agree—or whether you have the capacity to understand. We will do that because we don’t work for our critics; we do our work as unto the Lord, and we won’t stop until He tells us to.

Enjoy!!!

New Books for SGL/MSM Men of Color on Relationships, Finances, Sex and Love!



               These Special Reports came about as a request from the many African American and Latino men that I’ve worked with in workshops, thousands in fact.  The challenge of being a teacher is that I can only be physically in one place at a time.  The largest workshop I’ve run was well over 200 people but for these specific, personal discussions, I generally prefer to run groups of about 6 to 35 men.  The reasoning is both obvious and compassion-based.  Too many people and the conversation becomes unwieldy and most importantly men, specifically men of color, rarely have the opportunity to ask an objective expert about their sexuality related experiences and get back a direct answer
               This might seem hard to believe with the internet, men having friends and relationships but often I am facilitating a workshop and men in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and older will ask me (and the group) questions that are on some level socially basic when compared to heterosexuality.  Questions about the male body, being in a relationship, completely alien to them, to many of the men in the room, when compared to men who are heterosexual.  Shame, ostracism, poverty, racism, homophobia, fear, and (lack of) education impact men who have sex with men (MSM) in a multitude of ways, generally negatively leading to alienation, isolation, depression, excessive pleasure seeking, self destructiveness, and to an extreme, mental illness and suicidal tendencies.
               In my teens I was fortunate to have supportive counselors at school to discuss sexuality with.  I was fortunate to be able to afford to buy books on sexuality to answer technical questions and explore ideas.  Further into my 20s, away at college, I was fortunate to be able to be authentic and transparent about my identity, having asked, answered and investigated those questions prior to university.  However I met and was friends with countless men and women who were confused, questioning or closeted about their sexuality.  What concerned me most were the dangerous emotional and physical situations they were in due to family structures, religious beliefs, lack of information.   The overwhelming majority of these men and women were African American and Latino. 

               Years later when I began counseling and teaching specifically to MSM of color at non-profits and was tasked with designing programming and curricula for them, I turned to my library around male sexuality and discovered that bluntly, it was all White, from a White perspective, written to a White male audience, reflecting multiple White men engaging with one another, focused almost exclusively on a homo-normative valuing of the singular term of “gay”, as young, happy, vibrant White men.  I turned to my non-White audience, teeming with questions and issues and realized that a lot of their problems stemmed from this dissonance between sexuality, information, race and inclusion.

               “But aren’t all people the same?  And does your work then exclude White people?” one naturally would ask.
               Yes and no.
               We’re all biologically, therefore physically (and to some degree psychologically), the same as humans so there is of course information through all of my works that covers biological, physical, mental and social areas on men and their interactions, no matter race.  I try to be specific in highlighting and integrating non-men of color into these works (such as work on interracial dating, etc) rather than the reverse: minimizing that there are social, emotional and cultural distinctions for African American, Latino and other men of color as such an exclusion now readily and rampantly exists in personal identity/relationships texts on sexuality.  In terms of culture, socialization, sexuality, identity, spirituality, environment and lived selves, having been, as a man of color, socially and professionally steeped in many cultures, we’re vastly different.  This doesn’t mean that we can’t co-exist, co-habitate or even unite for common rights but it does mean that the old trope of people as being in a melting pot is egregiously wrong when it comes to men of color and sexuality.  Isn’t it better for us all, to be seen as individual, self motivating and defining fruits and vegetables in a salad, a tossed salad, if you will?  All possible puns intended. 
               It naturally followed then, as I was teaching these initial workshops with men of color, and seeing the confused effects, that they were being given perhaps the right dosage of the wrong medication.  Following the analogy, there had been no personal examination of them allowing for their feedback and yet they were expected to have the same outcomes, results and liberation as White gay men.  The information, particularly around safe sex, socialization, relationships, sexuality, manhood and financial consideration was only being designed for White men to interact with other White men…and ostensibly other men of color who could access the information or approximate their identity close enough to find it useful.  I estimate this to be about 10% of men of color. 
               What about the African American and Latino man, at least here in America, who doesn’t believe that a healthy identity for them is in mirror lockstep to White gay men? 
               I’m convinced through my years working in LGBT organizations that sexually transmitted infection rates are so high among men of color vs. White men because of less of an informational/social support system for a non-heterosexual identity in communities of color and lack of support in White heterosexual and then  homosexual communities, a triple whammy of stigma and ostracism.
              
               After several years of amending pre-existing materials, inserting images of men of color, trying to bridge the gap and generally colorizing my lessons with the invaluable input, information and feedback from my clients and participants, I came upon the understanding that while men of color had produced many works of visual art, fiction and health related literature regarding sexuality, there was very little that was doing what I was having packed workshops around: sex, sexuality, relationships, finances, life choices, parenting, love, breaking up, aging, fetishes, personal advancement, and entrepreneurship targeted at MSM of color.  At my height for workshops it was standing room only, three days a week, upwards of 200+ men.  I was photocopying my handouts to the financial chagrin of the organizations I worked for, personally buying and giving to participants some of the better more culturally democratic books I’d found.  It slowly dawned on me that the emails I was constantly getting from other cities around the nation from men who’d enjoyed the information from my television show, online videos, and blogs, meant that for the thousands I’d met and taught in just New York City, there were multiples of hundreds of thousands more, without hub organizations, who wanted information as well.
 
               The work then has become to package good, useful, healthy information, much as how I design workshops.  Without bias to ideas and practices that I might not agree to but maintaining the same non-judgmental attitude I maintain in my workshops.  This non-judgment comes from the fact that I personally believe that sexuality is unique within you, that you are divinely blessed with it, that it is not for question or sanction beyond consent and excluded from unfair manipulation/coercion.  I believe that no one’s sexuality is up for question by another—that what and how you identify as today and what you do and identify as tomorrow is perfectly fine, as long as you notify those of us with whom you’re engaging and need to know. 
               I also believe one of the major divergences culturally speaking stems from the wider socialized ramification of White gay men wanting to be acceptable and maintain privilege from a White culture as a dominant culture base, therefore there’s both a rebellious freedom that manifests as a desire to explain and justify one’s sexuality that borders on the obsessive.  But this modality follows the ontology (nature of reality), epistemology (system of knowing), methodology (gathering of information), axiology (ethics and values) psychological paradigm of the dominant culture: quantification, explanation, qualification.  Cultures and ethnicities throughout history, that were not exclusively of a Westernized paradigm as we know it now, have always had the content of non-heterosexuality and context for other than simply heterosexual sexualities.  And they haven’t included the near-neurotic public flagellation of self exposure to gain social acceptance.  Dealing with that demand from the White gay community, often alienates men of color because our praxis to the Universe as a whole, not just society, is more community based and spiritually connected. 
               I know, that’s a headful. 
               Simply put, people of color are more socialized to the We and how do I relate into the We; White people tend to see I as the Westernized democratic and rugged individual I, and question how the I fits into the We of community or they leave and form new and appropriate communities to satisfy their I
               People of color steeped in traditions of We carry our communities and may visit or settle or annex other communities but we’re always of the We of African American, Southern, Northern, Latino, Dominican, Mexican, la familia, etc.---we’re far more attached to the origin community, which makes it harder to abandon our communities when they notify us as to what they exclude.  We, people of color, tend to abdicate our public identity for community inclusion because we’ve also been taught by our own communities of birth how dangerous it is to be without a community or to be exclusively among White people.  Sexuality for men of color is intertwined with race and has to be developed, answered and lived in accordance with that basic social mindset, before, with, and past it, in order to transcend it.

               The Universe or spiritual contextualization of ourselves comes from such an emphasis on spiritualized identification to identity within communities of color whether directly through churches/religion or more generally, through taught practical awareness of a relationship to a Creator.  I discovered in years of workshops with men (yes, sometimes women) that sexuality was often spoken of in spiritual terms and far more fluidic in regards to the sexuality and gender of partners.  The language of heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality is science based---the external examination, quantification and qualification of the human being to an experience, again through an ontological examination from the dominant culture.  However I’ve found that the fluidity that men of color can experience is because of the internalized identification of self connected to spirit and the dissonance for us comes from a pseudo scientific labeling brought to explain and quantify to physical actions.  Many men talked about being DL, freaking, getting down, being in the Life as action but wouldn’t accept labels of homosexual to their self/sexuality/internal identity but would to their actions.  They would then further identify their spiritual selves, their inner selves, as multi-dimensional which align with the other indigenous cultures, such as Native Americans having terms like two-spirited
              
               The praxis of basic identification of self to the community, self and the Universe can be often vastly different, occasionally similar, or even rarely, nearly the same, when people of varying racers, cultures and ethnicities discuss sexuality in relationship to self.  Curiously, or maybe not so much if one considers society’s set-up, I’ve noted how people of color abstain, remove or default in public settings (including, interacting or being observed by White people) around sexuality identification and articulation.  Privately or among others of their same culture and ethnicity, sometimes it’s far more complicated than simply gay.  To that end there’s the emergence of the term same gender loving, which describes, yes, the action but also has deeper connotative meaning in regards to include the inner multi-faceted identity, community attachment, and spiritual component.  In further writings, I’ll tackle this distinction and articulation more.

               To the understanding that there is a broader understanding of sexuality for men of color in each of these books and Special Reports, I include Add Ins that supplement what in the digital/print industry have been labeled “special reports”, which historically has come to be in size, approximately 10 pages. 
              
               The purpose of the Add Ins is one, the wide expanse of men these reports go out to in paperback and digital form allows for deeper engagement on multiple issues then just the titled work; two, the edification of men of color who may come across them; and thirdly, to precipitate and encourage discussion  within the individual, within friendships, relationships or small groups of men around good, useful, accurate information.  The Add Ins generally fall into three to five sections:

1.      Give clear definition to the male body as a basic lesson and what it can and cannot do in relationship to itself and other male bodies;

2.      Clearly define and outline what sexual protection looks like in objects (condoms, lubes, etc.) and what sexually transmitted infections (STIs) exist, their symptoms and potential treatments;         

3.      Clearly define terms around sex and sexuality (this is an organic and ever growing and developing list, please feel free to send in others you’ve heard or known---one of the most fun aspects of workshops I facilitated as an undergraduate student was empowering a room to list every questionable, profane, fun, silly or obscure sex and sexuality term they could);

4.      With direct regards to men of color building relationships with themselves, others and their communities financially, I wanted to include as basic overview of terms and terminology.  At first glance it might seem out of place but non-heterosexual men tend to have more discretionary income however men of color have historically had less opportunity to garner and therefore enact a level of financial education.  What better place to put a substantial chunk and understanding of money and its uses then into the hands of men, who through the very act of obtaining this book are empowering themselves?;

5.      Lastly, a pretty comprehensive list of the additional Special Reports and books I’m working on, have published or can recommend as useful to the growth, and authorization of men of color to live full, romantic, sexual, healthy and prosperous lives.

               None of my works is meant to be an explanation of men of color to the masses, we’re simply too individualized and complex for any work to do that.  What my work is mean to do is provide access, context and information for men of color as they choose how, when and with whom to share themselves, through their spirit, identity and sexuality.  I believe that what you know and believe: your ideology, plus the tools to free or liberate one’s self, move you to personal mastery or power.

               Simply put: Ideology + Liberation = Power.
