S6 Special Guest Interview #66: P3 of Donald's Interview

For our special late Father's Day episode our guest is an educator, a musician who sings the songs he writes and co-author of Born of Nothing and I'm talking about Dr. Donald Williams. This is just an introduction of his life. In this episode, he will share his life of how he grew up in South Carolina and growing up in a large family of cotton mill workers and how close-knit Southern family where money was often scarce, but love, laughter, and hard work were never in short supply.

You will also hear him share his life growing up with his family and how his faith played a vital role in his life. He also will share how his perseverance and determination change the direction of his family’s future while never forgetting where he came from, Donald became the first in his family to graduate from a major university. He went on to earn three degrees from Clemson University, including a Doctor of Education.

At the center of his life are his Christian faith, his family, and his belief that education and discipline can change the course of a family for generations. He believes strongly that where a person starts in life does not have to determine where they finish.

As co-author of Born of Nothing: From White Trash and Lintheads to Purpose Across Generations, Williams writes not just from research, but from lived experience — telling the story of poverty, faith, education, hard work, and generational change in the American South.

In the 3rd part of our episode, he will answer the question where we left off before and that is how can people break the cycle of poverty and how can they rise from their poverty and difficulty and change their lives?

We also discussed the difference between our earthly father and our heavenly Father and the importance of knowing and memorizing God’s Word.

He also shared a family member that made an impact in his life especially on Donald’s spiritual growth. He also shared about a friend who worked hard on getting her goals accomplished in life. He also answered my question on breaking the cycle of poverty and why is it there are two Paths, One Beginning and yet some rise and others fall.

We are taking a little break to get ready for the new episode that we have in store for all of you and to enjoy some family vacation. However, we will be back as soon as we can. I can say it will be worth a wait because we have so many powerful testimonies and even livestream that you can expect to hear on our next Season coming next month.
