Ladies & gentlemen, grab your popcorn, take a seat, sit back, relax, and enjoy...we’re going to the movies. Without further ado… it’s American Underdog (the major motion picture on the life of Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner) filmmaker Andy Erwin (@erwinbros). With his brother, Jon, they produce hits. Seriously. Their feature films have all been in the Top 10 on Box Office opening weekend. Their films include I Can Only Imagine (the incredible story of MercyMe’s lead singer, Bart Millard), Woodlawn, October Baby, and much more. He got his start working in sports with ESPN then shot commercials with artists like Switchfoot, Michael W Smith, and Amy Grant…he’s got 11 GMA Dove award nominations and 3 Music Video of the Year awards to his name. & in true authentically fashion, we keep it real… From talking the importance of taking care of your mental health, especially as men, to how he fell in love with storytelling at an early age working at a local news station for $10 a day to working at ESPN’s NFL Primetime covering a Super Bowl Kurt Warner played in to making a film about him 20 years later, to the backstory & process behind making quality Christian movies in mainstream media that become #1 Box Office Hits, to who he’d have play him and his brother if there was a feature film about them, to his dream vacation spot (hint: it involves The Lord of the Rings) to telling stories with authenticity: “Point people to the Ultimate Truth…I can’t take an audience emotionally on an experience that I haven’t been willing to go on myself yet” to the moment Kurt Warner realized what he was truly fighting for in his NFL career dreams to the next film The Erwin Brothers are working on - a Navy Seal who used to be a drug addict then turned to the Lord, based on the book “Fearless” - & much more…it was truly an honor to chop it up with Andy. Erwin Bros’ website: https://www.kingdomstorycompany.com/ Make sure to follow everything Andy, his brother, and team are doing, making epic major motion pictures in mainstream media all pointing people to the True Light, Who we all need, especially in today’s day and age: Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support

This episode comes to you recorded in Portugal. I’m half-Filipino. I’m half-White. Mrs Amber J is my Filipina queen. Together, two worlds collide. Though we both have Filipino in our blood, we both have completely different experiences growing up in Detroit & LA. My dad came to Detroit from The Philippines when he was 8, Amber’s mother came to LA when she was an adult. Naturally, LA is more diverse than the Midwest, so our conception of being Asian in America and all that comes along with that (cough cough - we’re not Chinese, Japanese, Thai - we have so much respect for these cultures it’s just most people never guess Filipino - they’re only conception of Asia is associated with China or Japan, not the dozens of other countries that make up the continent - and ask questions like “what are you”. Well, I’m glad you asked. I’m a man. A man of God. A husband. It’s interesting how just because of people’s perceptions and views, I’ve gotten stereotyped to be “Yao Ming” “Jackie Chan” “Jeremy Lin” and oh, must love math and be great at kung-fu…these among countless other forms of discrimination and how that can deep-seededly without even realizing it affect how we view ourselves, is discussed in this episode. Among a myriad of other topics associated with race, being Filipino-American, challenges we’ve encountered while on a mission trip in Europe, what we’ve learned, how we’re growing, and much more. (please excuse the fan noise in our northern Portuguese abode--it's authentic to our living situation) Side note: I’m not Chinese or Japanese . Shout out to all those who are. But people in just pure ignorance out a label on me and stereotype me because they look at me and see Asia (a continent that has 50+ countries) so they say what they know & assume what they think they know- karate , math , you know. I never did karate I don’t like math. I’m proud to be filipino 🇵🇭 I’m half Filipino half white was being and raised in the great state of Michigan and most importantly I’m a man of God. I’m a man. Not your preconceived notion of what you may perceive me to be. Think before thinking 🤔 Before saying before stereotyping before judging. #stopasianhate People can over complicate things and find excuses to judge just like the Pharisees did but hey Jesus home we serve was the most misunderstood so we got him to depend on every day. I’m just trying to be done people pleasing. It’s something I struggle with my whole life and I’ve gotten to a point that hey if you don’t understand I don’t have to explain myself that hey if do you know somebody doesn’t like me just for being me or just completely misunderstand me or tries to attack me guess what I’m covered by God Almighty and will continue to love Jesus honor my wife love my family friends and love you and forgive you and just be me. Whoever wants to rock with us in this journey great,, whoever doesn’t , we will shake the dust up off our feet and move on.

It was a true honor to talk to someone I look up to and genuinely respect.When I started this podcast titled ‘authentically’ after seeing the ins and outs of what is talked about inside newsrooms and from my experience in the field, I knew there needed to be a space for something more than just soundbites and click-bait headlines in this day and age of news (opinion talking heads) swirling left and right on a pandemic, social justice, and your local stories. When I first started this, one of the first dudes that came to mind whom I thought would be perfect for this show…he was none other than this man. A man of God, a man well-respected in the music industry as a hip hop and spoken word artist, a man who has lived out fighting for social justice before it was trending as a change agent and activist. He’s a husband, a father, and a coffee curator. What more could you ask for in a podcast where I aim to keep it real, talk about being a good husband and family man, actual good coffee (the real ones know what I’m talking about), sports, and…Jesus. Because this show is dedicated to Christ. And no matter where you are in your life, it’s my hope that you are encouraged by this talk. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado: here is Dr. John Perkins.Enough said.Take the mic and take it away, Dr. Perkins. With 91 years of living, this man is honestly one of the most profound, knowledgeable, agents for true, authentic, tangible change fighting for justice in this world today.Background on Dr. Perkins via his foundation:"Dr. John Perkins is one of the last living civil rights leaders who fought for equality and reconciliation throughout most of his life. He also has...received 16 honorary doctorates. Now, at 91 years-old, Dr. Perkins has written his final book, Count It All Joy: The Ridiculous Paradox of Suffering (Moody Publishers) that reflects on examples of suffering, why we suffer, and the joys of suffering. When he was seven months old, John Perkins’ mother died of malnutrition. At 16, his older brother was murdered by police. As a civil rights activist, John was tortured and beaten by police. He endured familial suffering with the murder of his sister and the death of two sons. John recently battled cancer. In Count It All Joy, Dr. Perkins reflects on the persecuted life of Job in the Bible and how we can learn to lean into suffering, stand alongside others who suffer, and trust God to make us better through our suffering."With everything he’s been through during the Civil Rights era leading up to today, having overcome so much adversity and wrongs done to him in his life, he’s flipped the script and done the unthinkable...actually loving and forgiving others who've hurt him and has dedicated his life to serving others, helping countless communities thrive with the Dr. John & Vera Mae Perkins Foundation.Couldn't think of anyone better to conclude this series as I approached the topic of social justice talking to NBA players & coaches about what seemingly everyone was talking about in 2020 leading into this year: 'social justice'. For many, maybe it was just a buzzword. Well, listen to this. Dr. Perkins lives out what actual justice is everyday and explains what he thinks about 'social justice'.For Dr. John Perkins, social justice is more than just a buzzword or trend, he’s dedicated his life to advocating for ...people. Including specifically underserved minority communities. A true, absolute warrior in the faith, it was an honor, joy, and privilege to be able to speak with Dr. Perkins.What an example for all of us, especially as we face so much unrest, uneasiness, injustice in our world today. What an example of how we can truly choose LOVE as that's what he chose.If you feel so called to support Dr. Perkins and his wife’s foundation, you can do so here: https://www.jvmpf.org/donate/You can purchase his newest books from his manifesto he talked about on the podcast, including the third-book in the installment, "Count It all Joy", here: https://jvmpf.org/booksIf you'd like to join my brand new authentically team, helping further the discussion when it comes to authentic conversations, addressing the root away from the facade from your newsfeed, you can be part of the new launch, having exclusive access to this podcast, behind-the-scenes content, motivational morning coffee talks from Europe, a chance to ask a question to an upcoming featured guest, and more.

This one's personal for me.I dig deep here, telling all. About some of my past hurts, about how Amber and I have found in the best way to work through conflicts, about why I wanted Amber and I to wash each other's feet at our wedding ceremony, keeping it real-calling people out (in love, of course, and mostly about how dudes disrespect women and don't take responsibility), about a summer trip to Italy, Romania, England, and Wales that transformed my life including serving at a camp during the Olympics in London, and much more.I've been hesitant to release this one because i really do get personal and i know that putting myself out there can bring the heat so i'm ready for it, whatever that may be. i just hope this encourages someone out there, i hope it encourages YOU, wherever you're at in life...because i know it can get hard, it can get difficult, but lemme just tell you about someone i know who can walk with you and help you and be there for you genuinely through each and every challenge you go through in life.WATCH THE FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE 📺 : https://youtu.be/T-DEUdGC5SY"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:"-Phillipians 2:5#RELATIONSHIPS #COUPLES #MARRAIGE #FAITH #LOVE #CHRISTIAN #MOTIVATION #AUTHENTIC #GENUINE #HELP:04 EUROPE 2012 TO 2021 EPIPHANY:12 ITALY ATHLETE TRAINING EXPERIENCE4:33 RUNNING IN THE ALPS MOUNTAINS, RESCUING AN 'INJURED' TEAMMATE, THEN WASHING EACH OTHER'S FEET5:55 EXPERIENCE COMING FROM A BROKEN FAMILY6:20 THERE'S SO MANY BROKEN HOMES EVEN IN THE CHURCH6:33 THE 'D' WORD IS NOT IN OUR VOCABULARY6:45 HOW WE HANDLED CONFLICT THE DAY THIS WAS FILMED7:21 WHY WE WASHED EACH OTHER'S FEET ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT!8:55 WHY MARRIAGES FAIL9:18 WORKING THROUGH CONFLICTS11:48 STOP ASIAN HATE THOUGHTS12:14 LEARNING IN THE TANGENTS12:50 WHEN MY MIND GOES CRAZY13:13 IMPORTANCE OF COUNSELING / COACHING / THERAPY14:03 OBSTACLES IN MOVING TO EUROPE, LIVING INTERNATIONALLY14:48 FIGHTING BACK INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS15:23 HOW TO HAVE A GREAT, THRIVING, LOVING RELATIONSHIP AND HOW TO BEST HANDLE CONFLICT21:23 WE WANT TO BREAK GENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIP CURSES21:50 THE RELATIONSHIP TRIANGLE EXAMPLE WITH CHRIST AT THE CENTER, BRINGING BOTH PEOPLE IN THE RELATIONSHIP CLOSER TO EACH OTHER23:00 WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO LEAD?23:53 2012 TO 202124:08 YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!24:48 HOW YOU CAN BREAK RELATIONSHIP GENERATION CURSES & BREAK RACIAL PREJUDICES25:38 THE DEFINITION OF HOW TO TRULY LOVE --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support

New episode dropped!How’s your day actually going?When you think of leadership, what comes to mind? Have you ever experienced a bad boss, poor parenting (or step-parenting), even abuse from those in charge whom you trusted?I know I have. I know what it’s like to be beaten down, even if it’s with words.I know what it’s like to be the victim of people tearing you down because they’re jealous or insecure.I know what it’s like to not be put into a secure, nurturing, loving environment - whether that be at the homestead or in the professional world.When it comes to leadership, where in the world can we look to for good leaders or how to be a good leader ourselves?Here’s what I think the solution is to that and how we can have good leadership, what and who we should be turning to for authentic leadership.Also: What did you learn from 2020 that may help in this regard? Here’s an introduction to the next guests that will be featured on the podcast in this NBA Series. This time, we’re going from the court to the coach’s seat on the bench, as I talked to NBA head coaches around the league. They’re each the leaders of the 32 NBA teams, marching them to battle from game-to-game practice-to-practice. You can have a good coach or a bad coach (a good manager or a bad manager) and it’ll make a world of a difference your experience playing on that team (or company). So, here’s what these coaches learned from 2020 as we continue the conversation on social justice and what was talked about last year. Because it’s #morethanatrend. This should be an everyday-lived-out-equality thing. No politics. Just facts. No hate. Just love. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support

OG’S AND ROOKIES A SPOKEN WORD: Chris Paul and Anthony Edwards Episode 3 WisdomNEW HYBRID EPISODE JUST DROPPED!It’s a podcast, it’s a spoken word, no…it’s both!Why not. Both are passions I have so why not mix it up and combine both into one.Yeahhhhh, excited for you to hear this one. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy.In the heat of the NBA Playoffs, the Suns have shined brightly, making it to the conference finals. Leading the way this season has been a guy by the name of Chris Paul. You may know him as CP3, you may know him as the NBPA President, you may know him from the State Farm commercials, you may know him as being passionate about being a father...Anthony Edwards was a NBA Rookie of the Year nominee and the past draft’s 1st pick. That comes with a lot of pressure and responsibility which he’s handled well so far and honored his family. That’s respect.In a world where wisdom isn’t valued or talked about much, this is what the series and this episode is about, specifically. It’s been a few months we’ve all had to reflect on what was a crazy 2020 and this is what Paul and Edwards have learned and hope to instill moving forward.What did you learn from 2020 ? What lessons have you taken that you are maybe implementing into your own life today? Let me know.Because we need to continue these important conversations.“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”Proverbs 16:24 ESV“There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”Proverbs 12:18 ESV“Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.”Proverbs 19:20 ESV“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”Proverbs 12:15 ESVB-roll / images in the video courtesy: Chris Paul’s Instagram / @cp3 …..

Just dropped EPISODE 2! 💯🙌🏽✈️🏀more action. less chatter.Super excited about this one. Chopped it up with Damian Lillard and appreciated the realness of what he learned from 2020.Listen to what he had to say! 🗣Also shared why I’m so passionate about this subject, how the phrase actions speak louder than words has taken on a whole new meaning in my life after being betrayed multiple times, how I’ve coped with that. And being multi-racial, how myself and my family has dealt with prejudices.Actions speak louder than words. In this world, there’s too much talk and less action.Let’s take actionable steps in loving another, not hating. Actually do that - love and care, treating those different than you with respect. Donate - even if it’s a dolla (dame dolla) to a cause you support. Support Asian or Black-owned business.Be kind.

IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE! Without further ado, here’s the first guest in this NBA Miniseries on the podcast, ‘authentically’: Steph Curry.Excited to just continue this conversation.To keep it going.Not just when it’s convenient or cool or political correct or good for your branding to do so.But to have the conversation. Period.With these tidbits from NBA players and coaches from what they learned from what was a crazy, traumatic, tough 2020 year for us all, hopefully you can learn something, as well, whether or not you agree with it.My hope is that you can have conversations with your spouse, your family, your friends, your inner circle, and also with those you look different than you, who have different backgrounds, different ethnicities, different races, are from a different side of town than you’re from, your neighbor, your church, your school, someone you run into while grocery shopping, just to continue to this important conversation on social justice, whichever side you fall under. Republican, Democrat. Conservative, Liberal. This is bigger than politics. This is all surrounding fundamental rights in this country: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”Our incredible country was built on one nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice, FOR ALL! 0:07-0:56 Why I talked to different NBA players and coaches0:57-2:03 A time of learning and growth can happen for all of us, hopefully this can spark difficult conversations to keep the conversation going because this is more than just a hashtag this is more than just a trend2:04-3:07 Introducing Curry like he’s about to enter the arena before Game 7 of the NBA Finals 3:08-3:50 Curry is an MVP both on the court and off, cookin’ up making an impact in the community with Steph and Ayesha’s Eat, Learn, and Play foundation3:51-3:59 Steph speaking out on social justice issues in 20204:00-4:29 Steph being overlooked, the underdog, but proving people wrong4:43-6:58 Conversation with Steph Curry6:59-7:13 The Curry slogan 7:14-8:00-Curry winning the Jackie Robinson Award Per the AP: “A great opportunity…to continue these conversations”8:01-8:30”The NBA can be a microcosm of what needs to happen in culture such as representation especially in positions of power”8:31-8:52 Fighting for racial equality should be an every day, everybody thing8:53-9:12 There’s too much talk and less action, that’s why there’s simply one question and one answer for each episode9:13-9:34 what you can do…little things can make a GRAND difference9:35-9:41 It’s about time our society walks the talk9:42-9:59 one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all."Learn to do what is good.

EPISODE 1.1The Introduction THE NBA MINISERIES🏀: TO MORE THAN A TREND#️⃣, CONTINUING THE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND RACIAL EQUALITY CONVERSATIONDropping this very first episode to the series in two parts.The first part: an introduction to this mini series and why I felt compelled to start this.As much as it’s incredible that racial equality and social justice issues are FINALLY being addressed and have made it to the mainstream, just because this conversation all of a sudden popped up in circles where it wasn’t discussed before, doesn’t mean it should fade. The conversation shouldn’t take place just when it’s convenient, trending, or a #hashtag on social media, when it’s politically correct or good for branding to do so…the conversation should happen.period. All the time. It should happen moving forward, Which is why in this series I hope to just reiterate the importance of continuing the conversation in your own circles and stretching even beyond that….having important, sometimes awkward, sometimes painful discussions with those who may be different than you but conversations that are crucial to keep the pendulum moving forward in our society. Because there’s already too much divisievenss and division. Let’s stop the DIVISION and move towards MULTIPLICATION. One conversation multiplying to another, leading to another. All to fight the good fight. ALL THE TIME. FOR RACIAL EQUALITY. To fight the good fight for racial equality.You already know who’s the first guest in episode 1 part 2.That episode is coming….THIS WEEK! WOOOOO!!!Stay tuned. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support

WHAT'S UP EVERYONE! It is with much excitement to announce to you all a brand new miniseries. It's time for a new season, so fittingly this comes at you during the NBA season: ++SEASON 2🎙️🏀: WHAT NBA PLAYERS (FEATURING: STEPH CURRY, DAMIAN LILLARD, JAMES HARDEN, CHRIS PAUL, ANTHONY EDWARDS, DANNY GREEN, LONZO BALL & MORE) AND COACHES LEARNED FROM 2020, SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES, STOPPING ASIAN HATE, BLACK LIVES MATTER, & WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM THEM IN YOUR SEASON OF LIFE AS THEY REFLECT DURING A NEW NBA SEASON++💯With so much pain, heartache, devastation, and sorrow, 2020 carrying into 2021 brought so many trials with it. Yet, there was also so many countless lessons to be learned to hopefully get better individually and as a society. What much of the mainstream media and others didn't tell you is there was...HOPE. Through all that darkness, there was light. Through all the pain, there was PURPOSE.When we go through trials, we can see it happens for a reason on the other side, as crazy as that is. And with now a few months to reflect on what was a crazy 2020/2021, it gives some time to put it all into perspective.I went on a journey to talk about this to NBA players and coaches around the league. The league seemed to be at the forefront of a lot of discussions involving social justice protests and seemingly was one of the first major leagues to shut its arena doors in 2020. In what was a difficult season of life and the NBA continues its season, hopefully we can all learn a little something from some of the lessons they've learned to apply to this season of life...to continue the conversation so that it doesn't become just a trend or #hashtag but a livelihood to promote equality and respect and love others. It's a shame that it took everything that transpired for people to talk about it but at least NOW it's being talked about. But it should be talked about whether or not it's 'cool' or 'mainstream' to talk about it. It should be talked about. Period. And equality should be an everyday, everybody thing. Period. Not just when it's trending. But every single day.💯Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: ”I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together...when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authenticallywithcharlie/support
