BONAFIDE: For me David, you know, just because look, I mean his rise to power and everything he went through, and then the fall, and then how God restored him. That’s like the perfect scenario because always at the height of when things are going great, you know, we as humans tend to do stupid stuff and fall on our fact and a lot of times we can’t live with the guilt. It takes a merciful God to restore us because you know how guilt can just overtake somebody. You know, especially now the way Christianity is, you know things that are taught in church, it’s almost like an unlivable God is being preached, and it’s like that’s not anybody’s reality. That’s why we have to get in our Word daily, and restore ourselves basically each morning we get up. So David and definitely Solomon. Any man can relate to those characters.

COFFEE: Definitely David, just because I mean like my middle name was David, and my mom always taught me names mean something. So I always tried to look at his story and just see, you know, along the lines of—because even in the Word how they would name you according to your father and different legacies, and so I kind of took that to heart like “Well, I’d better see what David was about”, you know what I’m saying, so that I can know different things and challenges that may come my way. And because he was a leader, you know, and he was a leader at a young age, and called to some great and powerful positions, you know, and went through some really real challenges, had real challenges in his life. But between David and definitely Paul, you know, because I see Paul as a very aggressive guy, aggressive believer, you know pretty much almost militant. And just learning from their examples of—well, Paul’s example of really just that hard-core aggressiveness about, you know, his belief and spreading the word, and knowing how to reach everyone and remaining consistent. You know, challenging Peter on “Hey, don’t be over here saying this and being like this and be over here like that. Keep it consistent. What you do there, do it here, too.” So definitely those two guys are, for me, standouts.
