Rick Rigsby: One of America’s Finest Empowering Speakers
Interviewer: Pastor Jean-Lubin Beaucejour
2009

I had to go through the worst times in my life before I discovered that. I would encourage your readers to not to wait until the bottom falls out to get serious about God.

Many of us discount our capacity for leadership, when the reality is that we make decisions every day that will influence someone in our lives . . . We should all ask ourselves this question, “How will my influence then exceed the title of leadership?” My answer is this: by being an authentic person, by being who you were created to be, and by being the best you that you can possibly be.

Only rarely is an audience so moved that they stand instantly as one. And typically, you’re more likely to see this happen at a rock concert or play than at a public works meeting.
