What happens when your legacy ends with you? Pastor Charlie Davis believes that true legacy should live on after we're gone, passed to future generations rather than dying with its creator. In this deeply moving conversation, he shares profound insights from over three decades in ministry about building something that outlasts yourself. Pastor Davis new book "Hidden Blessings: Finding Your Passion After Experiencing Pain" is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Growing up on Columbus's east side, Davis was shaped by a neighborhood where responsibility was shared and every adult could correct any child. With seven uncles and a father who was one of Columbus's first bishops, he witnessed authentic male leadership firsthand. These early experiences formed his understanding of accountability, strength, and provision that would later define his approach to ministry.
Davis doesn't shy away from his personal struggles. From surviving third-degree burns as a toddler to enduring six years of excruciating pain from a spinal condition, his testimony reveals how adversity became the soil for his greatest ministry opportunities. "God has gifted you an opportunity to do something for him today," he shares, "and we must steward it well." This perspective led him to co-chair the Ultimate Resource Network (TURN) and create Mannerism ministry, addressing the crisis of masculine identity.
Perhaps most compelling is Davis's passionate advocacy for "soul care" – a practice he believes is critically missing in today's leadership landscape. Through authentic accountability relationships and spiritual refreshment, he demonstrates how leaders can avoid the pitfalls that have damaged so many ministries and organizations.
Ready to build something that continues beyond your lifetime? Pastor Davis's journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone seeking to leave a legacy that truly lives. His book "Hidden Blessings: Finding Your Passion After Experiencing Pain" is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

So let's dive in and hear fromPastor Charlie Davis.
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Thank you, sir.
Good afternoon.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Glad to be here with you.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, I know you're a Columbus Ohio native.
Yes, sir yeah, sir yeah,absolutely.
Can you talk about back in yourday and back in my day, about
the importance of the villagethat raised you in Columbus?
Oh, my God, that's a goodquestion.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I grew up on the east side of Columbus, linwood
Avenue, wilson Avenue and youslide down the road.
I went to actually I went toOhio Avenue Elementary and
Franklin Junior High.
I followed Granville Waiters.
I went to Ohio actually I wentto Ohio Avenue Elementary and
Franklin Junior High.
I followed Granville Waiters.
I went to Ohio Avenue, franklinJunior High and East High
School.
And that was the family wasright there.
(02:54):
We had, I had an aunt liveright down the road.
In fact it was directly acrossthe street from Granville
Waiters and that neighborhoodright there raised me, it kept
me there and I'm thankful andgrateful for what I've learned
in that neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Can you talk about some of those life lessons that
you learned during that time?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I learned the importance of friendship, man.
We all played ball in thestreet, we all went to each
other's house and at that time,whoever house you was in, the
parent that was in the housethey took care of that child.
So it didn't matter, was theymy natural mother or or just a
(03:37):
neighbor of the in the area shewas allowed to spank you if you
was out of order.
He was allowed to spank you.
If you was out of order, he wasallowed to grab you up by the
collar.
And he was allowed to grab youup by the collar and say, sit
down, boy.
So that's the kind ofneighborhood we grew up in.
I think it made us respect ourelders.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Now think about that.
You mentioned a couple ofthings in there about men, yes,
about seeing men.
Well, what did you see in, I'msure, your father being a bishop
and just a man?
So what did you see in men?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, what I saw is interesting because my father's
family as we get into the bookit was seven boys and four girls
, and my mother's side was sevengirls, four boys, so I always
had men as uncles around beingraised in the household of
(04:34):
Bishop CM Davis, which was oneof the first bishops in the city
of Columbus.
I saw leadership, I sawstrength.
I saw a provider strength.
I saw a provider um, non, a nononsense attitude in our
household.
Uh, accountability, respect, itwas.
I mean I can go on withadjectives when I saw that house
(04:54):
.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Good stuff.
I also understand you were uh.
You were a great athlete inhigh school as you made it to
the uh uh state finals and track.
Can you talk about thatexperience?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh, that experience Again.
I went to East High School.
I say East High School is theheart of champions there,
educational-wise as well asathletes.
Some great people came out ofEast High School.
I played basketball all through, from fourth grade through my
11th grade year.
Junior high I played baseballand basketball.
(05:30):
So when I hit East High School,that's when you start 10th
grade.
So 10th grade, 11th grade, 12thgrade, I ran track all three
years.
My senior year I focused in ontrack.
I didn't play basketball.
My senior year I played my 10thand 11th grade and my senior
year I focused in on track.
I didn't play basketball.
My senior year I played my 10thand 11th grade.
And my senior year we went tothe state and I talk about it in
the book as well.
(05:50):
We actually won the 440 relayin the state finals.
However, by the exchange zone.
On a relay you have to make theexchange within the zone and
the exchange was done outside azone with some underclassmen and
(06:11):
we end up getting disqualifiedafter winning the race.
So that was a heartbreakingdisappointment but yet a life
learning experience and I sharethat in the book.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Well, you're already into the book.
We get there.
I want to lead up to the book.
There's a story behind the book.
Yes, sir, it is what inspiredyou to pursue ministry, and can
you recall any pivotal momentsin your life that led you to
that path?
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, the inspiration to ministry is my father.
I mean, um, it's not just him,but there's preachers all
throughout my family, um, myuncles and my aunts, um, but the
most inspirational person wasmy father.
Um, uh, I saw, I, my eyes haswitnessed the work of the Lord,
(07:05):
my eyes have witnessed the handsof the Lord, the favor of the
Lord, and not only that my hearthas felt and burned for the
things of God.
I chased after God because ofwhat I see, my father experience
, which was phenomenal.
So, yeah, the pivoted time forme is when my father passed in
(07:28):
1999.
When he passed, before he passed, there was a word, a prophetic
word that was given to me whilehe was living, and this is the
one that I stand on, and thatwas that I, me, I would do
greater works in my latter yearsthan what my father did in his
early years.
And that was that I, me, Iwould do greater work in my
latter years than what my fatherdid in his early years.
And that word has stuck with me.
(07:50):
I recite that I can be anywhere.
Somebody asked me I can recitethat because I am now living,
that I can see it.
Now, tim, I am living in thatair that was given.
That word was given to me in1990.
I'm living it now because lookhow we make an impact.
Even example, right now thispodcast can go worldwide.
(08:12):
You know my father had aphenomenal ministry in his young
years.
You know, back in the 70s tohave a congregation of 350 or
500 people in a ministry in achurch building that was paid
off.
You had 20 pastors or 20preachers in his ministry, a
male chorus choir, save men ofGod.
(08:35):
In front of me I had a frontrope vision pew sitting on the
front row pew chair experienceof what God has done.
But in 1999, when he passed, Igo back to that word, a
prophetic word, and I began toseek ministry for myself.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's powerful.
That's powerful.
You got to see God firsthand.
Can you make this up Seeing?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
people healed, delivered and set free bro,
right in front of my very owneyes.
Wow, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
You know, your work with the Ultimate Resource
Network, TURN, is impressive.
Can you explain how TURNsupports the community and what
inspired you to co-chair thisinitiative?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, wow, the Ultimate Resource Network known as TURN.
We are on the far east side ofColumbus.
Our main goal is this.
Let's look at the letterT-U-R-N.
Of course the T is for the Uand theR is, when you look at
the branding of it is in theletters of red.
(09:45):
Because you are the resource, Iam a resource, you are a
resource.
The people that are listening tous right now and watching us
right now, they are a resource.
So, mr Lindsay, burt Lindsayhas been a businessman, but yet
a man of faith.
He called me and said Charlie,I received a prophetic word, and
(10:09):
those who are watching andlistening I mentioned prophetic
twice already Prophetic word isreal.
Bert Lindsay received aprophetic word.
He called me and said hey, letme share this word with you.
I listened to him for about 10minutes, shared the story and
shared the event, and he said Ineed you to come up with a name.
I know it needed to be sometype of resource and whatever.
(10:31):
So and I said ultimate.
And we came up with ultimateresource network.
And we were saying the ultimateresource network for about two
weeks before we realized it wasTURN.
Now you say, well, what's TURN?
Well, mr Lindsey owns adealership.
So it makes sense of cardealerships saying turn.
And then we develop a steeringcommittee and our goal is to
(10:55):
ensure, is to make a strongimpact.
Thriving community on the FarEast side.
We starting in our own backyardand we are spreading abroad, so
it is definitely growing.
It's been a phenomenal thing.
Yes, amen.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, Pastor Charlie, you're known for
empowering others in their faithjourney.
What advice would you give tolisteners who want to build a
lasting legacy in theircommunity?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I say you know, we are often hearers of the word
but lack doing of the word.
So I say this, my advice wouldbe this God is still speaking,
he has not stopped.
We just don't pay attention andwhen we do, we just don't obey.
I say obey the voice of theLord and you will find strength
(11:48):
in that.
I encourage us to become notjust hearers of the Word but
doers of the Word.
We will see our life beingtransformed.
We'll be making impact onothers.
We will establish wisdom of Godin us and revelation of God.
So yeah, that's what Irecommend.
(12:10):
Amen, amen.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You know you have been involved in a lot of
different ministries.
Yes, there's one I want you tospeak on, and that's the vision
of Mannerism men's ministry.
Can you talk about that visionand what the goal of that
ministry is?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a great question.
Thank you for that, becauseMannerism was given to me in
2017.
And the name Mannerism camefrom the standpoint of I was
watching a particular pastor'stestimony and I was listening to
a particular pastor's testimony.
(12:46):
I was listening to a particularpastor's testimony and he sound
.
The words that came out of hismouth were powerful, but his
mannerisms sound feminine and Iwas like what in the world is
going on here?
(13:06):
And then, when I heard hisstory, there was some trauma in
his early life and the fact thathe actually reached out for
others to be part of theirprayer team.
So when he went to get theprayer mantle by being part of a
prayer team, he was surprisedthat it was men there.
(13:28):
It was women.
So, yes, he picked up theprayer mantle, but he also
picked up the women's mannerismbecause there was no men in
their praying.
So when he was around men, theycalled him names that was not
you-like.
(13:50):
They referred to him inwomen-type names.
But as life goes on and hebecomes a strong prayer warrior
and he shared his testimony.
So I got the word mannerism outof hearing what I heard.
It wasn't so much of what hesaid, but what he was saying and
(14:13):
I was like mannerism men needto have the mannerism of a man.
So what we do it also thepurpose of it is to combat in
the month of June, father's Dayweekend is when we have our
yearly celebration.
It typically goes Thursdaynight, friday night and Saturday
.
Then quarterly every threemonths we have a worship night
(14:38):
on Friday night.
Then people like yourself, wepartner with you, and then that
can be Friday night.
Worship and FCA would turnmannerism and we have a free
movie night and that's a weekend.
So yearly in June weekend onFather's Day, then quarterly we
have mannerism worship night andwe're excited because March
(15:01):
21st will be the first one thisyear, 2025.
And we're going to have aphenomenal worship night at the
Rock Church, my home church,7370 Tutsing Road in
Reynoldsburg, ohio.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know when you talk about that word mannerism
can you share with the audiencesome of those manners?
When we talk about men, whatare some of those things that
you see in men?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Let's do something simple.
I just celebrated a birthdayand we flew my aunt, who is the
only one living.
She's 83 years old.
She walks out to the door ofthe car and she stands there
because she expects a man toopen the door and let her in and
shut the door.
And that's what we do, not onlyher, all the men in my family.
(15:55):
That's what we do.
We were raised that way.
My wife, you know I'm stayingat the door If I ain't there yet
you stand at.
I don't hit the chirp, chirpand let her in, I and open the
door and um, and I shut the doorwhy I am providing the fact
that she is in the car, she isbeing safe.
So let's just start with justopening the doors for the ladies
(16:18):
.
Let's let's start there.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let's just start with the basics, the basic, the
basic manly things let's shareout.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
pull the out.
We're supposed to be providers,you know, and protectors
Protectors, that's right.
Sit with your back facing thedoor, not with your back, you
know, don't.
Don't you face the door, Don't,don't have your back to the
door, you know?
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Amen, little things.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know, this is a legacy podcast something that
you implement or something youare in the process of moving,
but it is passed to the nextgeneration.
(17:05):
It don't die, it continues.
It's passed to the nextgeneration versus I mean I, I'm
my mind immediately go tochurches and businesses how,
once the owner or the one whostarts it, once they pass or die
, then it ends.
(17:25):
We need to be able to pass thebaton, which is another chapter
in my book, that truck analogyin my book, that truck analogy
Pass the baton, the business,the ministry, the, whatever, the
long life legacy to the nextgeneration.
(17:45):
It lives.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Legacy should live.
That's a good one.
Legacy should live.
Legacy should live Long afterwe're gone.
It continues on, continues on.
Yes sir, much needed work.
That work continues on.
Yes sir, much needed work.
That needs to continue.
Yes sir, you know you facedpersonal and spiritual hardships
throughout your life.
Can you share one of the mostchallenging periods you've
(18:08):
experienced and how Godsustained you through it?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Almost teared up.
Jesus, lord, have mercy.
Let's start with the first one.
I'm 14 months old.
Baby boy being fallen to a tubof scalling hot water and being
70% burned over my entire bodyat 14 months years of age.
(18:38):
You know that was trauma.
Now I understand it to betrauma.
Going through that To me thatwas my life, so I didn't know it
was trauma until I got older.
You know, and I will say this,you know kids can be mean, but I
thank God that I didn'texperience being bullied or
(18:58):
teased or anything of thatnature.
I thank God for that.
That could have scarred me.
That again, one of my chaptersin my book.
My life is in the book.
But then the second one wouldbe this.
I recently Coach Tim, as youknow, in 2017, I had surgery.
(19:18):
I want to bring awareness tothis syndrome that's called
Brown-Saquad syndrome, known asBSS.
I had a cyst crushing my spinalcord and the shorter version of
the story is that when itcrushed the spinal cord, it did
(19:40):
nerve damage.
One hospital drained the cystsand they were supposed to remove
the cysts.
So when they drained the cysts,it actually grew back.
So three and a half years later, I'm really in a lot of pain.
So for six years, I was in pain.
So, to speed the story up,february of 2023 is when I went
(20:04):
to I will say this hospital'sname, osu as they removed the
cysts and then I am no longer inpain.
Amen, yeah, yeah.
So here's the key.
Here's the key thing.
You know, when people had COVIDand they had a mental fog,
experienced that mental fog.
(20:24):
Imagine that 10 timesheightened.
That's the type of pain I wasin for six years.
So when the cyst was removedand I was no longer in pain, my
brain stopped focusing on painand it allowed to function the
way it's supposed to.
So now I comprehend.
You know I'm gathering mythoughts and I'm not having
(20:47):
memory lapse anymore.
So it's been a journey, bro.
It has been a journey, but God,god man, he sustained me.
It allows me to look back atturn.
You say what that got to dowith.
Well, it made me available.
Yes, I pastored my own ministry.
I had my own building the fourwalls.
(21:09):
I did that, but God is using meoutside the four walls four
walls.
I know for a fact that I ampart of the reason of people
having a strong, powerful impactand life-changing
transformation through thisnetwork that I helped be a part
of and start.
So that leads me into Charlie.
(21:29):
You need to be the co-chair.
I'm like yes, sir, no problemTo answer that question short.
That's why I'm the co-chair.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Amen, you know, speaking of those events, how
has your relationship with Godgrown over time, particularly in
those moments of adversity?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, it allowed me to trust Him more.
It just my faith increases more.
It's not a day that I was goingthrough and I still have some
issues, physical challenges nowand then but it's not a day that
, going through that rough timethat I was like I don't want to
get out of bed, I don't want tosee nobody Shut the door, close
the blinds, pull the cover of myhead, leave me alone.
(22:11):
I didn't have a day of that.
I literally woke up like, okay,I got to get going, there's
something I got to do.
The Lord has me to do somethingtoday.
Here's my statement that theLord gift you to see today.
He has gifted you anopportunity to do something for
him and we must steward it well.
(22:33):
Amen, amen, steward it well,Steward it well, we must steward
it well.
Amen, amen, steward it well,steward it well, we must steward
it well.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You know, as someone who's been in ministry for many
years.
What wisdom would you offer theyoung leaders just starting on
their faith journey?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
A pastor that you can allow him to sow into you as
well as you be honest with themand allow them to critique you
in areas that you needconstructive criticism.
(23:08):
You know areas that you blindspots that you just don't
realize that you have.
You may be the senior pastor,but then I don't believe a
pastor is a pastor if he don'thave a pastor that he's
reporting to Accountability.
I'm just big on accountability.
You can be the senior pastor,but then you ought to have a
(23:31):
pastor that you are accountableto as well.
That will eliminate a lot ofissue.
And then soul care Soul carethat will eliminate a lot of
issue.
And then soul care soul care,soul care, soul care, bro, soul
cares you hear in today's time.
You are hearing so manytragical incidents with
(23:52):
leadership and if you look atthe root of that issue, if they
had soul care, they probablywouldn't be in those situations.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah Well, you got to break that down a little bit
more than soul care.
You left all this hanging onthat with that.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Soul care man, that's a good one.
Yeah, I do this.
I have referred to my bookagain.
Okay, chapter chapter nine.
My brotherhood is 12 of us andI've been with them since 2017.
We're accountable to each other.
But then not only is theaccountability there and we hold
(24:31):
each other accountable for it'sauthentic, but then we go on
trips, yearly trip.
We've been to the SmokyMountains in Tennessee for a
weekend, thursday, friday,saturday, sunday.
We've been to DC twice and thisyear we are going to Toronto
Praise God as long as Canada'sgoing to let us over there in
(24:54):
August.
But what we do, we wash eachother, we get washed in the Lord
.
You know just, men, we soulcare.
We're taking care of the soul,that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I like that.
I like that.
Yes, sir, Can you share a storyor a principle that you learned
from your father, Bishop CMDavis?
Ministry that continues toguide you today.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
A principle.
A principle and I refer to thisa young lady that used to go to
our church when she was ateenager.
She just recently passed andher brother in law called me to
see if I had heard and that shehad passed.
(25:40):
I said, man, I used to see herperiodically at physical therapy
.
I would run into her atphysical therapy periodically
and I said well, you know mycondolences and things of that
nature.
He said, man, I don't know, Ihad never seen anybody like her.
We were all at the hospital andeverybody's heads was down,
(26:01):
they was crying, and she raisedup out of bed this is her last
day on earth.
Raised up out of bed and said Idon't know why y'all got your
heads down.
Bishop Davis told us to be saved.
I'm saved, so put a smile onyour face.
So the principle I have is seekye first, the kingdom of God,
(26:24):
his righteousness and all hisrighteousness and these other
things will be added unto you.
So we got to seek God first.
Have that relationship with him.
Salvation is real.
You're going to go.
You're going to have eternallife somewhere, either heaven or
hell.
(26:44):
I know in most churches todaywe ain't talking about hell, but
I'm telling you.
You're going to end up oneplace or the other.
Why not go to heaven?
Talk, talk.
Why not go to heaven?
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
As we come around the corner.
We got to get to that book.
All right.
I know you're an author of abook Hitting Blessings yes, sir,
hitting Blessings.
Can you talk about the visionbehind the book and what
inspired you to write this book?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You know it was so funny when I told people that I
wrote the book.
I said, hey, the book is out onAmazon and they say, well, it's
about time.
Like well, you've been talkingabout it for a long time.
I did not realize that I'vebeen saying for quite some time
(27:38):
that I wanted to write a book.
But this is where the strengthof my brothers that I referred
to earlier comes in.
Several of them have writtenbooks.
One of the guys that was partof our group has written 16
books and I didn't use him forhelp, but it was inspiration
(27:59):
that I could get it done.
And the hidden blessings findingyour passion after experiencing
pain is because of the thingsthat I went through.
(28:20):
I use at first the word finding.
We played on so many wordsbefore that we used to call it
re-night restore.
Initially it was restore, butas I saw the words hidden,
blessings hidden.
So when something's hitting,then it needs to be found.
(28:40):
So I went with finding yourpassion after experiencing pain.
Yeah, it's just a small glimpseand portion of some things
personally that I went through.
As we were talking I keptreferring back to it because
it's real in my life.
It's real.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Let's think about your book.
It's real, it's real.
Let's think about your book.
It's real.
It's real, it's real, realexperiences.
But at the same time you cansee the hand of God in all of
that.
The Bible says all things worktogether for the good of those

the long life legacy to the nextgeneration.

(02:08):
So let's dive in and hear fromPastor Charlie Davis.
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Thank you, sir.
Good afternoon.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Glad to be here with you.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, I know you're a Columbus Ohio native.
Yes, sir yeah, sir yeah,absolutely.
Can you talk about back in yourday and back in my day, about
the importance of the villagethat raised you in Columbus?
Oh, my God, that's a goodquestion.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I grew up on the east side of Columbus, linwood
Avenue, wilson Avenue and youslide down the road.
I went to actually I went toOhio Avenue Elementary and
Franklin Junior High.
I followed Granville Waiters.
I went to Ohio actually I wentto Ohio Avenue Elementary and
Franklin Junior High.
I followed Granville Waiters.
I went to Ohio Avenue, franklinJunior High and East High
School.
And that was the family wasright there.
(02:54):
We had, I had an aunt liveright down the road.
In fact it was directly acrossthe street from Granville
Waiters and that neighborhoodright there raised me, it kept
me there and I'm thankful andgrateful for what I've learned
in that neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Can you talk about some of those life lessons that
you learned during that time?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I learned the importance of friendship, man.
We all played ball in thestreet, we all went to each
other's house and at that time,whoever house you was in, the
parent that was in the housethey took care of that child.
So it didn't matter, was theymy natural mother or or just a
(03:37):
neighbor of the in the area shewas allowed to spank you if you
was out of order.
He was allowed to spank you.
If you was out of order, he wasallowed to grab you up by the
collar.
And he was allowed to grab youup by the collar and say, sit
down, boy.
So that's the kind ofneighborhood we grew up in.
I think it made us respect ourelders.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Now think about that.
You mentioned a couple ofthings in there about men, yes,
about seeing men.
Well, what did you see in, I'msure, your father being a bishop
and just a man?
So what did you see in men?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, what I saw is interesting because my father's
family as we get into the bookit was seven boys and four girls
, and my mother's side was sevengirls, four boys, so I always
had men as uncles around beingraised in the household of
(04:34):
Bishop CM Davis, which was oneof the first bishops in the city
of Columbus.
I saw leadership, I sawstrength.
I saw a provider strength.
I saw a provider um, non, a nononsense attitude in our
household.
Uh, accountability, respect, itwas.
I mean I can go on withadjectives when I saw that house
(04:54):
.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Good stuff.
I also understand you were uh.
You were a great athlete inhigh school as you made it to
the uh uh state finals and track.
Can you talk about thatexperience?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh, that experience Again.
I went to East High School.
I say East High School is theheart of champions there,
educational-wise as well asathletes.
Some great people came out ofEast High School.
I played basketball all through, from fourth grade through my
11th grade year.
Junior high I played baseballand basketball.
(05:30):
So when I hit East High School,that's when you start 10th
grade.
So 10th grade, 11th grade, 12thgrade, I ran track all three
years.
My senior year I focused in ontrack.
I didn't play basketball.
My senior year I played my 10thand 11th grade and my senior
year I focused in on track.
I didn't play basketball.
My senior year I played my 10thand 11th grade.
And my senior year we went tothe state and I talk about it in
the book as well.
(05:50):
We actually won the 440 relayin the state finals.
However, by the exchange zone.
On a relay you have to make theexchange within the zone and
the exchange was done outside azone with some underclassmen and
(06:11):
we end up getting disqualifiedafter winning the race.
So that was a heartbreakingdisappointment but yet a life
learning experience and I sharethat in the book.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Well, you're already into the book.
We get there.
I want to lead up to the book.
There's a story behind the book.
Yes, sir, it is what inspiredyou to pursue ministry, and can
you recall any pivotal momentsin your life that led you to
that path?
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, the inspiration to ministry is my father.
I mean, um, it's not just him,but there's preachers all
throughout my family, um, myuncles and my aunts, um, but the
most inspirational person wasmy father.
Um, uh, I saw, I, my eyes haswitnessed the work of the Lord,
(07:05):
my eyes have witnessed the handsof the Lord, the favor of the
Lord, and not only that my hearthas felt and burned for the
things of God.
I chased after God because ofwhat I see, my father experience
, which was phenomenal.
So, yeah, the pivoted time forme is when my father passed in
(07:28):
1999.
When he passed, before he passed, there was a word, a prophetic
word that was given to me whilehe was living, and this is the
one that I stand on, and thatwas that I, me, I would do
greater works in my latter yearsthan what my father did in his
early years.
And that was that I, me, Iwould do greater work in my
latter years than what my fatherdid in his early years.
And that word has stuck with me.
(07:50):
I recite that I can be anywhere.
Somebody asked me I can recitethat because I am now living,
that I can see it.
Now, tim, I am living in thatair that was given.
That word was given to me in1990.
I'm living it now because lookhow we make an impact.
Even example, right now thispodcast can go worldwide.
(08:12):
You know my father had aphenomenal ministry in his young
years.
You know, back in the 70s tohave a congregation of 350 or
500 people in a ministry in achurch building that was paid
off.
You had 20 pastors or 20preachers in his ministry, a
male chorus choir, save men ofGod.
(08:35):
In front of me I had a frontrope vision pew sitting on the
front row pew chair experienceof what God has done.
But in 1999, when he passed, Igo back to that word, a
prophetic word, and I began toseek ministry for myself.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's powerful.
That's powerful.
You got to see God firsthand.
Can you make this up Seeing?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
people healed, delivered and set free bro,
right in front of my very owneyes.
Wow, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
You know, your work with the Ultimate Resource
Network, TURN, is impressive.
Can you explain how TURNsupports the community and what
inspired you to co-chair thisinitiative?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, wow, the Ultimate Resource Network known as TURN.
We are on the far east side ofColumbus.
Our main goal is this.
Let's look at the letterT-U-R-N.
Of course the T is for the Uand theR is, when you look at
the branding of it is in theletters of red.
(09:45):
Because you are the resource, Iam a resource, you are a
resource.
The people that are listening tous right now and watching us
right now, they are a resource.
So, mr Lindsay, burt Lindsayhas been a businessman, but yet
a man of faith.
He called me and said Charlie,I received a prophetic word, and
(10:09):
those who are watching andlistening I mentioned prophetic
twice already Prophetic word isreal.
Bert Lindsay received aprophetic word.
He called me and said hey, letme share this word with you.
I listened to him for about 10minutes, shared the story and
shared the event, and he said Ineed you to come up with a name.
I know it needed to be sometype of resource and whatever.
(10:31):
So and I said ultimate.
And we came up with ultimateresource network.
And we were saying the ultimateresource network for about two
weeks before we realized it wasTURN.
Now you say, well, what's TURN?
Well, mr Lindsey owns adealership.
So it makes sense of cardealerships saying turn.
And then we develop a steeringcommittee and our goal is to
(10:55):
ensure, is to make a strongimpact.
Thriving community on the FarEast side.
We starting in our own backyardand we are spreading abroad, so
it is definitely growing.
It's been a phenomenal thing.
Yes, amen.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, Pastor Charlie, you're known for
empowering others in their faithjourney.
What advice would you give tolisteners who want to build a
lasting legacy in theircommunity?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I say you know, we are often hearers of the word
but lack doing of the word.
So I say this, my advice wouldbe this God is still speaking,
he has not stopped.
We just don't pay attention andwhen we do, we just don't obey.
I say obey the voice of theLord and you will find strength
(11:48):
in that.
I encourage us to become notjust hearers of the Word but
doers of the Word.
We will see our life beingtransformed.
We'll be making impact onothers.
We will establish wisdom of Godin us and revelation of God.
So yeah, that's what Irecommend.
(12:10):
Amen, amen.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You know you have been involved in a lot of
different ministries.
Yes, there's one I want you tospeak on, and that's the vision
of Mannerism men's ministry.
Can you talk about that visionand what the goal of that
ministry is?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a great question.
Thank you for that, becauseMannerism was given to me in
2017.
And the name Mannerism camefrom the standpoint of I was
watching a particular pastor'stestimony and I was listening to
a particular pastor's testimony.
(12:46):
I was listening to a particularpastor's testimony and he sound
.
The words that came out of hismouth were powerful, but his
mannerisms sound feminine and Iwas like what in the world is
going on here?
(13:06):
And then, when I heard hisstory, there was some trauma in
his early life and the fact thathe actually reached out for
others to be part of theirprayer team.
So when he went to get theprayer mantle by being part of a
prayer team, he was surprisedthat it was men there.
(13:28):
It was women.
So, yes, he picked up theprayer mantle, but he also
picked up the women's mannerismbecause there was no men in
their praying.
So when he was around men, theycalled him names that was not
you-like.
(13:50):
They referred to him inwomen-type names.
But as life goes on and hebecomes a strong prayer warrior
and he shared his testimony.
So I got the word mannerism outof hearing what I heard.
It wasn't so much of what hesaid, but what he was saying and
(14:13):
I was like mannerism men needto have the mannerism of a man.
So what we do it also thepurpose of it is to combat in
the month of June, father's Dayweekend is when we have our
yearly celebration.
It typically goes Thursdaynight, friday night and Saturday
.
Then quarterly every threemonths we have a worship night
(14:38):
on Friday night.
Then people like yourself, wepartner with you, and then that
can be Friday night.
Worship and FCA would turnmannerism and we have a free
movie night and that's a weekend.
So yearly in June weekend onFather's Day, then quarterly we
have mannerism worship night andwe're excited because March
(15:01):
21st will be the first one thisyear, 2025.
And we're going to have aphenomenal worship night at the
Rock Church, my home church,7370 Tutsing Road in
Reynoldsburg, ohio.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know when you talk about that word mannerism
can you share with the audiencesome of those manners?
When we talk about men, whatare some of those things that
you see in men?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Let's do something simple.
I just celebrated a birthdayand we flew my aunt, who is the
only one living.
She's 83 years old.
She walks out to the door ofthe car and she stands there
because she expects a man toopen the door and let her in and
shut the door.
And that's what we do, not onlyher, all the men in my family.
(15:55):
That's what we do.
We were raised that way.
My wife, you know I'm stayingat the door If I ain't there yet
you stand at.
I don't hit the chirp, chirpand let her in, I and open the
door and um, and I shut the doorwhy I am providing the fact
that she is in the car, she isbeing safe.
So let's just start with justopening the doors for the ladies
(16:18):
.
Let's let's start there.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Let's just start with the basics, the basic, the
basic manly things let's shareout.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
pull the out.
We're supposed to be providers,you know, and protectors
Protectors, that's right.
Sit with your back facing thedoor, not with your back, you
know, don't.
Don't you face the door, Don't,don't have your back to the
door, you know?
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Amen, little things.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know, this is a legacy podcast something that
you implement or something youare in the process of moving,
but it is passed to the nextgeneration.
(17:05):
It don't die, it continues.
It's passed to the nextgeneration versus I mean I, I'm
my mind immediately go tochurches and businesses how,
once the owner or the one whostarts it, once they pass or die
, then it ends.
(17:25):
We need to be able to pass thebaton, which is another chapter
in my book, that truck analogyin my book, that truck analogy
Pass the baton, the business,the ministry, the, whatever, the
long life legacy to the nextgeneration.
(17:45):
It lives.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Legacy should live.
That's a good one.
Legacy should live.
Legacy should live Long afterwe're gone.
It continues on, continues on.
Yes sir, much needed work.
That work continues on.
Yes sir, much needed work.
That needs to continue.
Yes sir, you know you facedpersonal and spiritual hardships
throughout your life.
Can you share one of the mostchallenging periods you've
(18:08):
experienced and how Godsustained you through it?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Almost teared up.
Jesus, lord, have mercy.
Let's start with the first one.
I'm 14 months old.
Baby boy being fallen to a tubof scalling hot water and being
70% burned over my entire bodyat 14 months years of age.
(18:38):
You know that was trauma.
Now I understand it to betrauma.
Going through that To me thatwas my life, so I didn't know it
was trauma until I got older.
You know, and I will say this,you know kids can be mean, but I
thank God that I didn'texperience being bullied or
(18:58):
teased or anything of thatnature.
I thank God for that.
That could have scarred me.
That again, one of my chaptersin my book.
My life is in the book.
But then the second one wouldbe this.
I recently Coach Tim, as youknow, in 2017, I had surgery.
(19:18):
I want to bring awareness tothis syndrome that's called
Brown-Saquad syndrome, known asBSS.
I had a cyst crushing my spinalcord and the shorter version of
the story is that when itcrushed the spinal cord, it did
(19:40):
nerve damage.
One hospital drained the cystsand they were supposed to remove
the cysts.
So when they drained the cysts,it actually grew back.
So three and a half years later, I'm really in a lot of pain.
So for six years, I was in pain.
So, to speed the story up,february of 2023 is when I went
(20:04):
to I will say this hospital'sname, osu as they removed the
cysts and then I am no longer inpain.
Amen, yeah, yeah.
So here's the key.
Here's the key thing.
You know, when people had COVIDand they had a mental fog,
experienced that mental fog.
(20:24):
Imagine that 10 timesheightened.
That's the type of pain I wasin for six years.
So when the cyst was removedand I was no longer in pain, my
brain stopped focusing on painand it allowed to function the
way it's supposed to.
So now I comprehend.
You know I'm gathering mythoughts and I'm not having
(20:47):
memory lapse anymore.
So it's been a journey, bro.
It has been a journey, but God,god man, he sustained me.
It allows me to look back atturn.
You say what that got to dowith.
Well, it made me available.
Yes, I pastored my own ministry.
I had my own building the fourwalls.
(21:09):
I did that, but God is using meoutside the four walls four
walls.
I know for a fact that I ampart of the reason of people
having a strong, powerful impactand life-changing
transformation through thisnetwork that I helped be a part
of and start.
So that leads me into Charlie.
(21:29):
You need to be the co-chair.
I'm like yes, sir, no problemTo answer that question short.
That's why I'm the co-chair.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Amen, you know, speaking of those events, how
has your relationship with Godgrown over time, particularly in
those moments of adversity?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, it allowed me to trust Him more.
It just my faith increases more.
It's not a day that I was goingthrough and I still have some
issues, physical challenges nowand then but it's not a day that
, going through that rough timethat I was like I don't want to
get out of bed, I don't want tosee nobody Shut the door, close
the blinds, pull the cover of myhead, leave me alone.
(22:11):
I didn't have a day of that.
I literally woke up like, okay,I got to get going, there's
something I got to do.
The Lord has me to do somethingtoday.
Here's my statement that theLord gift you to see today.
He has gifted you anopportunity to do something for
him and we must steward it well.
(22:33):
Amen, amen, steward it well,Steward it well, we must steward
it well.
Amen, amen, steward it well,steward it well, we must steward
it well.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You know, as someone who's been in ministry for many
years.
What wisdom would you offer theyoung leaders just starting on
their faith journey?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
A pastor that you can allow him to sow into you as
well as you be honest with themand allow them to critique you
in areas that you needconstructive criticism.
(23:08):
You know areas that you blindspots that you just don't
realize that you have.
You may be the senior pastor,but then I don't believe a
pastor is a pastor if he don'thave a pastor that he's
reporting to Accountability.
I'm just big on accountability.
You can be the senior pastor,but then you ought to have a
(23:31):
pastor that you are accountableto as well.
That will eliminate a lot ofissue.
And then soul care Soul carethat will eliminate a lot of
issue.
And then soul care soul care,soul care, soul care, bro, soul
cares you hear in today's time.
You are hearing so manytragical incidents with
(23:52):
leadership and if you look atthe root of that issue, if they
had soul care, they probablywouldn't be in those situations.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah Well, you got to break that down a little bit
more than soul care.
You left all this hanging onthat with that.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Soul care man, that's a good one.
Yeah, I do this.
I have referred to my bookagain.
Okay, chapter chapter nine.
My brotherhood is 12 of us andI've been with them since 2017.
We're accountable to each other.
But then not only is theaccountability there and we hold
(24:31):
each other accountable for it'sauthentic, but then we go on
trips, yearly trip.
We've been to the SmokyMountains in Tennessee for a
weekend, thursday, friday,saturday, sunday.
We've been to DC twice and thisyear we are going to Toronto
Praise God as long as Canada'sgoing to let us over there in
(24:54):
August.
But what we do, we wash eachother, we get washed in the Lord
.
You know just, men, we soulcare.
We're taking care of the soul,that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I like that.
I like that.
Yes, sir, Can you share a storyor a principle that you learned
from your father, Bishop CMDavis?
Ministry that continues toguide you today.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
A principle.
A principle and I refer to thisa young lady that used to go to
our church when she was ateenager.
She just recently passed andher brother in law called me to
see if I had heard and that shehad passed.
(25:40):
I said, man, I used to see herperiodically at physical therapy
.
I would run into her atphysical therapy periodically
and I said well, you know mycondolences and things of that
nature.
He said, man, I don't know, Ihad never seen anybody like her.
We were all at the hospital andeverybody's heads was down,
(26:01):
they was crying, and she raisedup out of bed this is her last
day on earth.
Raised up out of bed and said Idon't know why y'all got your
heads down.
Bishop Davis told us to be saved.
I'm saved, so put a smile onyour face.
So the principle I have is seekye first, the kingdom of God,
(26:24):
his righteousness and all hisrighteousness and these other
things will be added unto you.
So we got to seek God first.
Have that relationship with him.
Salvation is real.
You're going to go.
You're going to have eternallife somewhere, either heaven or
hell.
(26:44):
I know in most churches todaywe ain't talking about hell, but
I'm telling you.
You're going to end up oneplace or the other.
Why not go to heaven?
Talk, talk.
Why not go to heaven?
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
As we come around the corner.
We got to get to that book.
All right.
I know you're an author of abook Hitting Blessings yes, sir,
hitting Blessings.
Can you talk about the visionbehind the book and what
inspired you to write this book?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You know it was so funny when I told people that I
wrote the book.
I said, hey, the book is out onAmazon and they say, well, it's
about time.
Like well, you've been talkingabout it for a long time.
I did not realize that I'vebeen saying for quite some time
(27:38):
that I wanted to write a book.
But this is where the strengthof my brothers that I referred
to earlier comes in.
Several of them have writtenbooks.
One of the guys that was partof our group has written 16
books and I didn't use him forhelp, but it was inspiration
(27:59):
that I could get it done.
And the hidden blessings findingyour passion after experiencing
pain is because of the thingsthat I went through.
(28:20):
I use at first the word finding.
We played on so many wordsbefore that we used to call it
re-night restore.
Initially it was restore, butas I saw the words hidden,
blessings hidden.
So when something's hitting,then it needs to be found.
(28:40):
So I went with finding yourpassion after experiencing pain.
Yeah, it's just a small glimpseand portion of some things
personally that I went through.
As we were talking I keptreferring back to it because
it's real in my life.
It's real.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Let's think about your book.
It's real, it's real.
Let's think about your book.
It's real.
It's real, it's real, realexperiences.
But at the same time you cansee the hand of God in all of
that.
The Bible says all things worktogether for the good of those
who love the Lord and are calledaccording to his purpose.
Absolutely and truly.
You've been called for apurpose and part of those
experiences is hitting blessing.
(29:20):
You know we're going through it.
We don't.
We're trying to figure out God.
What's going?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
on here.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
You know, but we know what the devil meant for evil,
God meant for good man.
And look at God and what Godhas done and continue to do in
your life.
Can you, can you share with theaudience how they can find more
information about your book andhow they can get involved and
support you?
