You're listening to The Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio.

I'm your host, Jimmy Hinton.

There's another story out by Pastor Corey Brooks.

And I really, really like Pastor Corey Brooks.

I think that he just is so good at trying to reach the youth, especially in Chicago,

to try to instill hope, to try to instill trades in people, teach and train them to do trades,

to change the economic future, and to break

the cycle of generational poverty.

I absolutely love it.

And he wrote another article.

And I've featured several stories about him, and I'll continue to do so, as long as he says words of wisdom, we're going to keep

highlighting him in the work that he does. And this one really, really connected with me because

I think he is so spot on. This might be the number one most most spot-on truth that I think Pastor Corey Brooks has ever spoken.

I mean, it's just absolutely phenomenally spot on.

He really has his finger on the pulse of what's going on in this nation.

And part of it is disappointing, but the bigger part is incredibly insightful and inspiring and fantastic.

And it gives me much hope.

It gives a lot of hope because of the state of the nation through his eyes, through somebody who is

walking across America, literally.

The title of the article here is, he wrote it, it's an opinion piece.

The title of the article is, Chicago's South Side is drowning in excuses, dependency and decay. Subtitle here is

Rooftop Revelations. There is no external force orchestrating our destruction from the shadows.
