At an early age, my family and I lived
in the projects of Mount Airy, NC. Growing up, I saw my neighbors partake in crime, drugs, and drunkenness. Yet
my mother, Susie McClure, a widower, was determined to follow the teachings of my deceased father who diligently taught the
Gospel of Christ for many years. My father, Bishop L.C. Brintley, was the founder of three churches. After his
death, my mother continued to bring my brother, Ty, sister, Jean, and my self to the Gospel Assembly Church
even though it was 100 miles away in Gastonia, NC.
During my teenage years, I continued to go to church
but my heart was not in it. The sins of this life had took me under. I was afraid that God was watching, but yet I continued
on living under the power of sin. My sophomore year of high school changed the path of my life. I began attending Victory
Christian Academy until going on to college. While in college the Holy Spirit began dealing with me about ministry.
Not knowing what lied ahead in my life, I diligently
started seeking God and drawing very close to my Pastor, William N. Podaras.
