Marcus Patrick, a fellow Knoxville native (GoVols!) that moved to other parts of the world to spread the love of Tennessee to wayward souls. Well, ok, not so much the Tennessee part. But he's changing lives one kid, one family at a time in Lexington, Kentucky. I decided that JephsWorldSoWhite and I wanted to amplify a black voice that is doing great work and has deep thoughts about the current affairs. He's a man of few words that would much prefer to speak with his actions rather than lecture anyone, so I was honored that he shared his evening with me, saying a lot more than he normally would. Not surprisingly, he's full of grace even in these dark times. But don't mistake that as being weak. He's a man of action, but he does all things with class and love. He's seen just about everything in his career and knows what he's talking about. When it comes to making sense out of life, he's one of the best sources of wisdom. I wish he'd share more of his wisdom on social media but he's too smart to get consumed in it. My wife and I think him and his wife are fantastic and we often miss getting to do ministry alongside them.
