Ray learned this the hard way when the people he surrounded himself with almost took his career away from him in Atlanta. Not many people get a second chance and Ray has made the most of his opportunity! For him to offer himself to this young man is an awesome thing and I pray that he works as hard as he can because not everyone is given such an opportunity!!

+William McKinley Show me your perfection sir! Let me see it so I know what to aspire too. He also was on trial for murder...Growth is about starting in one place and ENDING in a better place.
It doesn't have be so, everyday we're all blessed to be here we can create one through love patience hard work dedication and discipline you're going to make it just have to believe it
Well your family is your crowd. Crowd really means the good influences around you to help you make the right decisions. Your two friends represent a crowd too. Since they care about you they will be by your side of your success to make sure you don't mess up. That's pretty much the kind of crowd Ray meant.
Yass! I love to see when grown men encourages young men to be the best they could be and show them how to do it. Its refreshing to see that in this time and age.
It all starts with a complete and strong bond with all of the parents and children. Neglecting the faithful responsibilities doesn't build a foundation. It's that house of cards on the sand. Nothing strong to keep building on.
I dont want to see a hater on this. Since I saw Ray on stage I know his words will be powerful. IF you take what the best tell you you will waste your time. Awesome TV program keep them coming. I come from a country that most of the people are weak, you dont want to be in US with a country like that and think like that young man. Go ahead to create a wonderful life. You got this.
My son is young *10 years young*, he needs to a strong Godly male role model for him. His father is fly by, only contributes when he gets word of what I'm doing. I refuse to allow my son to follow in his fathers footsteps. As his mother, I'm taking an aggressive role in keeping him focused on his foundation which is the Lord!
***** thank you so much! Some days a hug is what I need. My son is a very bright child, I want him to be the absolute best he can be. He calls me his Super Mommy, cause super mommies can do anything. I'm trying to be that for him. My daughters, I have 2 need guidance as well, so I'm seeking the Lord for them. They're older than my son. Is it wrong to want to move your children out the hood? I want them to see Philadelphia has other sections than Southwest Philly. I'm just trying to train them up in the way they should go. Thank you very much for your encouragement
+Michelle Talley I fully understand your position. I CANNOT allow my son to follow in mediocre footsteps. What I was something turned to ash. But I am a fan if the Phoenix. I will raise him to be who I know he can be. Good luck with your son and God bless you and keep you strong.
Anna Amar Thank you ma'am! He's a very bright child, I know with a good role model, he can be in demand in whatever field he chose for a career. Yes, rise like a Phoenix!
+Michelle Talley Mama, this is something I've seen with these two eyes of mine, when God has a calling on someone's life He does what PEOPLE can't do. I am saying this, God is the best father many of us never had, when He see's those who are supposed to guide and protect neglect their duty that's when he steps in. Remember, His word will not return void, but it SHALL accomplish what He pleases. He will make sure lil man develops the character he needs to walk out his destiny. Now, mama you have to do your part as well, walk close with Christ, keep yourself clean so your home is clean, remain steadfast so the Holy Spirit can get thru to you and do what He's supposed to do and that is to lead you in all righteousness. Remember, a house divided will not stand, so you can't cast the enemy out of your house if you turn around and invite another one in. Single parents must learn how to train their kids in the way they should go by learning the way themselves then you lead by example and that is the biggest influence in that young man's life... influences... I hear your words but your example speaks louder. God bless you Sis. Talley.
Exactly. I believe in leading by example. Children need positive role models, especially male models, people who can show them that mistakes will be made but it is learning from those mistakes, where we grow and excel. Prayer is very important in that process.
Robin Carney He made a terrible mistake but it happens bro. people are not perfect. you learn from it. ray lewis is still a good person. you don't learn people by googling them. u have to know them as a person.
had to show my son this because I tell him all the time doesn't matter how good you are if them grades aren't right it means nothing. Grades are like your Credit score now day's
He said there are three people you need in your life.. The inspired, the excited, and the grateful.. My friends, my circle, n I always tell my girls n the Lord how grateful n I am for these people and their guidance along my journey. Beautiful message cmn young black n Hispanics boys, stop making ur mom cry 💖🙌🏻
Thank you Steve and Ray for being so brutally honest !! That is what the young men need !! And also moving away from the fact they have grown up with no dad, it hurts, use that as a stone to lift you to the next place God wants to set you !!
I'm gonna pray for you and Ray for the journey and the end result. I can see the hurt in his face and his mother's. I know how it feels to want to change but not having the right people to help you change. God bless you all.
the great ray lewis is the only person who inspired me for real i have seen many people on video and live for motivation but that guy is real and he let me put a point to start with . god bless more ray . and love for steve harvy .
Bro ur very very blessed not just lucky to have ray Lewis around u, honestly ray Lewis is one of the best mentor I ever seen outside athletic duty or call. He's ready motivational champion.
I wish i had this interview before i graduated. I was in the same spot as that kid except with basketball. Couldnt play senior year, and now im working from the dirt bottom to try and get noticed and losing motivation. Just turned 19, had to work 6 months to help my mom pay the bills since my dad outta work so i couldnt even try and make the college team. I try out next year so I'll see how that goes but man i hate to see another brother go through one of my biggest regrets man, this dude even shares the same name as me. Like ray was talking to me. If your another Jonathan or in a similar situation i urge you to listen up and start to turn your life around because you could be missing the best opportunities of your life because the stupid decisions you make.
Bro, the D-League is for the top 3 or 4 % of college basketball players. That's a big step to go from not playing college ball to playing against fringe NBA guys.
Really hope this will go in the ears of the brothers out there. So many are just in the wrong group/crows blindly following each others and trying to be "gangsta" . We need more role model Like Steve and Ray seriously.
It is a real tragedy to see how many young black men are raised without a father. Its hard for young men to see that example of selfless love without their own father showing them. When Ray said, "I'm tired of young black men making mothers cry" it really made me realize that its true. Sadly for some reason this problem of absent fathers seems more prominent in black family's, we should work and pray to rebuild family life.
I am a young single mom of four sons and i can tell u it is hard work ....my boys father is not part of their life and i am trying my hardest to grow them up right but deep down i no they need a strong man to teach them how to be a man ... lord i pray everyday that i am doing the best for them and they would have a solid foundation,.... please help me God to be a strong role model for my boys!!!
I'm just seeing this but I hope Ray was able to help this young man. You can see in his eyes there is something vacant and lost. Idk if it's been all of the loss he's experienced or more but I pray he sees how much he's needed & can succeed in this world.
Young people should watch this, Ray is deep... that boy now begin to listen, Steve you see his face when Ray ask him about his foundation, he now wake up... but mama need to pray not all of the past should be forgotten, God is the constant here, he lead her to you, so Ray can mentor him.
when Ray talks his voice and command is so motivating and inspirational
John Moua his gift is his voice tone
He sound like a preacher too
Powerful!
He’s anointed by God
When he talked about Steve McNair.at McNair funeral always makes me cry
Ray learned this the hard way when the people he surrounded himself with almost took his career away from him in Atlanta. Not many people get a second chance and Ray has made the most of his opportunity! For him to offer himself to this young man is an awesome thing and I pray that he works as hard as he can because not everyone is given such an opportunity!!
+Richard C. Amen!!
Ahahahahaaaaaa.......;-D
HAHAHAHAHA me Too Hello !!!
Does anyone know if there's been an update on this guy??
Richard C. Preach
God is speaking through Ray Lewis, all can be redeemed.
Joe Lewis that’s what i was thinking
With strong faith and grateful as well as the positive placement. To lay the foundation and to correctly build onto that foundation.
What did he do
two of the best Ray Lewis and Steve Harvey trying to get the brothers on the right track
lol ray lewis is one of the best? hmmmmmmmm
+Robin Carney that's my opinion and there's nothing you do about it, case closed.
Oh you'd like Hernandez better right GTFOH
Are Yоu Whаааt Hе's Lоoking For? twitter.com/ca077ce29da62d145/status/804693412402241537 Ray Lewis You neeed three typeеees ооof рееoрlеeеe in lifе STEVЕ HARVEY
Roscoe Green he a killer
God Bless Ray. One of the greatest people walking on this planet. #posted_from_poland
+William McKinley did you know that change happens. it's 2016. It's not too late to change your bad for the good
+William McKinley Show me your perfection sir! Let me see it so I know what to aspire too. He also was on trial for murder...Growth is about starting in one place and ENDING in a better place.
for real
This was so deep I started crying, i have no foundation either. So inspiring
It doesn't have be so, everyday we're all blessed to be here we can create one through love patience hard work dedication and discipline you're going to make it just have to believe it
Awww thank you. I willl
....Believe it and get a foundation of learning about God's role as Father
Thanks, I have
+Kia T Great!
Show me your crowd and I'll show you you're future.. can I get an amen on that👍👍👍👍
cfreemful aman baby girl wow
I dont walk with a crowd I walk a different path, I have two solid friends. The rest is about progression and my family.
Well your family is your crowd. Crowd really means the good influences around you to help you make the right decisions. Your two friends represent a crowd too. Since they care about you they will be by your side of your success to make sure you don't mess up. That's pretty much the kind of crowd Ray meant.
Amen
AMEN
God bless Ray and Harvey on that young man doing better on his life and esp his hard working mama
Yass! I love to see when grown men encourages young men to be the best they could be and show them how to do it. Its refreshing to see that in this time and age.
Shundra Chamberliss 😘
The black community needs more strong black fathers
YNGM1991 Yes it does
Godsgeneral21 why y’all Americans make it into communities?
It all starts with a complete and strong bond with all of the parents and children. Neglecting the faithful responsibilities doesn't build a foundation. It's that house of cards on the sand. Nothing strong to keep building on.
No fathers
@@Adammadawooww absolutely
I felt like I was in a church session with all this amazing preaching .Ray was phenomenal 👏🏾
Thanks to James Brown on The Blues Brothers as reverend at Triple Rock Baptist Church; I have seen the lights!
ohhh this was good.. cant help but to tear up. thank you Steve and god bless Ray Lewis.
Please keep us updated on this young man's progress!!! Ain't nothin like a praying mother!!!! I'm praying for him and her too!!
Candace Johnson 😘
I love Steve Harvey and Ray Lewis they just kept it real with this young man. I pray he does the right thing and appreciate the help.
Ray is amazing he knows everything he's talking about
This has tears in my eyes. So beautiful and truth. And I needed to hear this too after going through divorce!!! Thank you. 🙌😍
Ray is the MAN so humble
this was so encouraging & inspiring.
donkennedy84 Man was it...
I started crying. We need more people like Steve and Ray, looking out for and guiding our young men
😢

iHeartPaNcAkEss man you are way too young talking about telling others to turn their life around.
Jeff Reeds Good advice ain't got an age limit
Really hope this will go in the ears of the brothers out there. So many are just in the wrong group/crows blindly following each others and trying to be "gangsta" . We need more role model Like Steve and Ray seriously.
Ray Lewis is one of the most inspiring and sincere men I've ever heard talk.
when he said "show me your crowd and I'll show you you future" it hit me hard
It is a real tragedy to see how many young black men are raised without a father. Its hard for young men to see that example of selfless love without their own father showing them.

Wow that's powerful. ..I hope this young man stays or gets on track
The Moment The Light Should Come On and "STAY ON"!!!!!!
Young people should watch this, Ray is deep... that boy now begin to listen, Steve you see his face when Ray ask him about his foundation, he now wake up... but mama need to pray not all of the past should be forgotten, God is the constant here, he lead her to you, so Ray can mentor him.
Steve Harvey and Ray Lewis are just amazing.. Ray Lewis is Right.
