I love what you're doing. But is there nothing more to Coloured peoples culture, history and identity than gangsterism? Are there no other voices to be heard other than gangsters and former gangsters? Is there no other representation for Coloured people?
@@johndoeiii9767 hey, I hear what you are saying and the next episode is something completely different! A coloured lady doing absolutely amazing things and I can’t wait to share it! ❤️
@@johndoeiii9767 I grew up is very violent community but the rural was you protect your community first, you dont steal from your people. Drugs were not are problem. I think coloured people are not the same. Actually I my community dont even call then coloured.
I came here from watching a short, to watch a bit with the intention to come back and watch later…but I’ve been gripped since. What an amazing story, an amazing testimony! Thank you Denzel for allowing God to use you!
Thank you Denzil for the inspiring words I'm from Mitchell's Plain and in a gang but tried changing my life after I got out serving 8years but temptation was too great but your words are much greater and it gives life.. .i got to the point where I no longer involve myself In negative stuff and with doing so friends are few but that is a good thing for me now I can focus on improving myself in becoming a better man. Thanks Denzil and Josh for this positive vibes.
I grew up in Durban, everything this man says is so raw. Drug dealers and gangsters were our role models, it's all we knew. Good on you brother for trading that lifestyle for the one you have now"I Salute you"
Met Denzil and one of his brothers Rungu (Rowen) about 20 years ago.. Such dynamic individuals we did ministry work together on SU Camps sooo passionate about the word of God and making a real impact! His wife Roxanne such a light and dynamic individual. Keep making an impact Denzil!!
Fighting tears whilst watching this has been so hard. We give God all the glory for changing Denzel’s life. We pray for more change in our Cape Flats. 🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️
Maybe I missed the question.. Has he ever seen that boy in the car again.. This guy gave me hope at my weakness today.. I was in tears with this story.. Love and light to the good you doing.. I'm in recovery 13 years now and this story just gave me more hope and faith just for today
This really hit home 😭 one of the best episodes ❤️ tried to watch this episode without tears in my tears 😭. I take my cap off to you Denzil, I have mad respect for you ❤️
Denzel must come back for a second installment. Much is missing from his amazing story, like his relationship with the small boy who prayed for him. Good job
In my eyes bro you are a social worker now and even more certified because you can literally relate to all the things happening in your community and I’m sure when you tell your story there are gonna be people who listen and change because of your story. More life and blessing g
I feel so honored to hear your story. I'm in tears. Denzil you touched me today. Thank you sir for sharing your story with us... and thank you Mr. J for making it possible🙏🙏🙏 "Ek is die wêg, die waarheid en die lewe..."
Hectic storytelling guys. So sincere when he couldn't pull the trigger. God bless you all. May we ask have safety and security in the days months and years ahead. Amen
You have created something beautiful. I usually dislike any South African creators just because they do RUclips wrong But you have blown my expectations out the window. I hope to see this channel hit 100k subs next year ❤️
Also man. About the demonization. Just avoid negative words like "dead, Kill or murder" avoid copyright music, avoid swearing and if any topics relate to a crime. Make up words to replace those words. And you should be Fine
This is so inspiring. Keep on doing what you are doing bro. These podcasts are going to make a difference in many people's lives. Thank you, and God bless.
Came from your youtube short and watched the whole podcast. Denzil has an incredible story and you did good interviewing him in a way that allowed him to tell it.
This interview is just jaw dropping - like it’s like a pin drop silence jaw dropping!! Thank you Denzil for your story and inviting us into your Journey! It’s real life issues and real life everyday shit that we take for granted - when our life is going a certain way. So important to have faith in God, and to be living a life with prayer 🤲 this interview has made my year! Thank you!!!!🙏🙏🙏
I just discovered your channel today and I find it so impactful. I wish I could afford to support this channel financially so instead I'll pray for your continued success.
beautiful story , what a testimony 💯 Denzil is a inspiration to the youth. He was given a second chance and he made good use of it. I salute you Denzil🙏
Loved this podcast dude!!! Honestly believe that social programs, giving young kids hope and really believing in second chances is one way to help kids get out of this viscous cycle. Big up Denzil!!
I watched a short….watched a snippet…..now here I am watching the full video. Denzil, what a life you’ve lived, I’m happy you’ve found your place in the world.
Thank you só much Josh and Denzil for an awesome amazing conversation. Sad, but also with so much hope. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I've cried from the beginning until the end. Denzil, I hope that a book will follow, and that there will be a movie. Josh, then you must definitely interview Denzil again, and everybody that is involved with the book and the filming. People all over the world need this miraculous story. The world is in desperate need. The words that stay with me, are 'when you choose life... you will receive life'. So beautiful. 💚🏡🕊💚
Josh your killing it man I love these podcasts your doing and the guests you are choosing to have on. You don’t talk over guests or have an ego to prove it’s refreshing and I think you will be very successful. Keep up the good work brother, blessings from Melbourne, Australia
He should interview Loca D from Chicago, she just recently got released from prison and was the only female minor to get sentenced to life in prison in Chicago. She killed 2 rival gang members (Latin kings) and she was a Maniac Latin Disciple. She was only around 16 from Humboldt Park, Chicago when she committed the murders, very famous story here in Chicago.
Wow, this was one of the realest interviews I’ve heard. It hits home so hard, man.. l had a hard time getting through it. We all were young boys at one time, before the pain, before the losses. When he said, he didn’t care about other people’s lives because he felt like no one was left who cared about him.. that’s the best explanation of what creates a killer. I’m happy this man found his peace and thank you so much
🙌 We raise a Hallelujah..... Something good can come out of a bad situation.. We thank God that your Podcasts inspires people. May the positive you bring grow from strength to strength.
I started watching this podcast only recently,im so impressed with the content reality and transpracy of these guests,this info is soo necessary and motivational,well done and thank you for these eye opening real life stories,
I watch a lot of RUclips vids and like many vids and support many accounts, this vid has the best content by far impressed by both of you, inspitional story of redemption wish you both the best really liked to watch this
Another incredible example of God's life giving power in our lives. Beautiful testimony brother Denzil and great work again Josh. 👏 🙌 continue to be blessed guys.
@@deansavillemediaWe do? Does anything happen on this planet, or anywhere, that is not part of God's plan? Or, does anything happen against God's will? Many people claim God is omniscient, meaning he knows everything, past and future. How can we have free will if the outcome is already known? Also... quoting the bible to prove the bible is called circular referencing, and is a logical fallacy.
Thank u so much Denzil wish the was a bigger platform for many other young kids and families can see and hear ur testimony as not everyone has internet... Ur doing a great job hope u and ur hole family will be blessed also the work u are doing im proud to be a young coloured woman because of ur story thnk u so much
Just imagine everyone trying to be the big gangster role model, but can’t get their own place to protect their mom and sister from harms way… that’s crazy. Glad he changed his life.
Incredible story, Denzil you're so inspiring, I struggled to hold back tears as many of us have never understood what it is to grow up in a gang infested area. I pray that God continue to be your light and He use you as a vessel to save lives. This was an incredible podcast, thanks Josh. God bless
So so so emotional. Thank you for inspiring through the choices that made you. God knows best, there’s a reason he chose you to live. You should be proud of yourself Denzil
Awesome interview with Denzil real inspiration and what a huge turn around so proud of you my brother continue sharing God’s word and encouraging the youth awesome work done
What an amazing story. That was the best podcast I've ever listened to. Denzel you are truly an amazing person. My hat goes off to you brother. God bless and thank you for sharing your story. And thank you to the host, also an amazing person. God bless ❤
What an incredible story. Denzel is a testimony of what is possible, God used him and is still using him. I wish I could have also just once heard my mom telling me that she loves me Rip to her.
