We don’t talk enough about the the help people need before we vilify them… particularly on the internet. I’m so sorry for what happened but he clearly turned a heartbreaking mess into a message that can benefit so many lives. God bless this man. ❤️
It highly depends what they’re in for. If somebody robbed me or somebody I cared about at gunpoint, I honestly wouldn’t care how they turn their life around. Edit: So he assaulted a pregnant woman and killed his own unborn child… Not quite a forgivable offense if we’re being honest.
@@gummy5862 I get what you’re saying on the surface but what if the person you loved was the one holding someone at gun point? What if the details of the court filings and public charges weren’t quite factual - because I’ve learned that many are not? I could go on but the larger point is : what generational trauma did he inherit, by no fault of his own, that lead him to make poor choices? How can we deal with that? What opportunities did he have to learn proper emotional regulation and what reinforcements were in place to help him succeed? How can we make sure that happens for young men in his position? Most abusers were abused. Hurt people hurt people. I strongly believe we miss the point when we write someone off as “bad,” lock them up, and pat ourselves on the back cuz… he’s off the street. To me, this man’s scenario is as good as it can get for such a heat-breaking set of circumstances. He made poor decisions with poor tools and lost HIS own child as a result. He likely lost the woman he loved at the time, too. He was probably shattered and likely still replays that day in his head. But He used that time to actually rehabilitate his mental health and then found productive outlets and positive rewards. Then to speak so publicly and vulnerably, so the younger generation in his shores can avoid the same path or restore faith in themselves - you can’t ask for much more than that. There are people who are full of 💩 and haven’t learned anything from their punishment but He’s using the language of someone who has a healthy fear of ever becoming what he once was and showing a commitment to maintain the changes. Not that he would even care about my random self labeling him as unforgivable since he’s managed to do what most can’t and forgive himself … but either way I can’t find reason to consider him a lost cause.
@@gummy5862 Any crime has the capacity of being "forgiven." It takes strength, it takes a little bit of undoing from all the things that you've learned over the years. It takes a change in perspective. It can be incredibly painful and difficult, but the most difficult decisions require the strongest wills.
First of all, I can't believe this guy is 49yrs old! Proof that exercise has much influence. Listening to this story, I just wished this guy could have gotten help or someone to lend him some type of support to get help before things got out of control. But they say things happen for a reason and I guess this was his life lesson although it was difficult this may have been something that just had to be done in his life. Best wishes to this man!
I teach inmates about substance abuse and using cognitive behavioral techniques. I have one student who started running the ball field at the being of our 6 month program and he huffed and puffed after one lap now he runs for 45min to an hour with no problem. Now one of his goals is to enter marathons. I am definitely going to share this story with him. He gets to discharge in less than 2 weeks. Thank you for the inspiration.
I LOVE THIS!!! This is such a great story!! (Caveat: He rightfully so was punished for his crimes, but he certainly appears to be rehabilitated and can be a productive member of society)
It's really heartbreaking what has happened to him. He may have done something evil, but he's not completely evil. This man is a hero of mine. A symbol of going down a terrible path, but rebuilding yourself so you can be a better version of yourself. I'm sorry for his child. I'm sorry for his partner. I'm sorry for him, but I'm proud of him. I'm proud that he got to find a way to live life as a better person.
What he said about being beat for not cleaning “to their specifications “ is exactly what my family said when they did the same to me. I totally get it.
My mother would wake me up from sleep at 4 am and wash all of the clean dishes all over again if one fork or spoon had dried on food on it. It happened to me twice and to this day, I am a beast when I wash dishes. Fast forward, If my husband placed a dirty dish in the drying rack, I don't freak out I just put into the sink to be washed later. No way was I going to awake him or our teenage son to redo the dishes because of one dirty dish. I'd let our child know what was up so he would be careful next time. That's all.
Young brothas meed to see stories like this. Here’s a man who turned it around, works hard, has an impressive talent, has the vulnerability to reach out for accountability. Keep it up man, he deserves that headline
Not only was the interview inspiring but the conversation and message shared at the end of the segment were priceless. Give others a second chance as well as give OURSELVES a second chance
What I see is a man that made a mistake and worked for a change. I have a friend that punch a man and the man hit his head on a rock and died, my friend wasn't a bad guy, but this incident sent him to prison he did his time and returned back to society the humble guy that he was now he's working full time doing good for the last eight years
@Gary Greenstein I think his sentence was extreme especially when you have women who abort their babies everyday. I’m not some prolife fanatic. But I do see a double standard. Gary God forgives all who ask no matter the sin.
@@yvette3636 I think that’s a bit different . I am not fond of abortion myself. But someone deciding to terminate their own pregnancy and someone being beaten resulting in the loss of a pregnancy against their will is very different. Both the mother and child could’ve died too
What a role model....I am struggling since years with personal issues and, even though they are not of the kind that would land me in prison, I still get example from this guy so to keep fighting....
I think what we should focus on is the abuse that he had in his life leading up to this. I hope he is healed from his past trauma from his childhood and I’m so glad he’s doing well.
@@cravenmoorehead5657 wow…. No matter what was said he assaulted his girlfriend that resulted in death of a baby… the law was accurate and fair in sentencing him. He gets a second chance the baby won’t ever have….#next
Mr. Markell has owned up to his crime and is remorseful and seems to have repented, the rest is between him and God. He is my new hero. We ALL are sinners, some can't even bring themselves to say that they are. Mr Markel really does bring hope, love and shines a light for us so bright on our path to God. Thank you for sharing your story. I will pray for you, your girlfriend and your son may he rest in peace. I know one day you will be with him. and also....I'm a marathon runner, so also for that reason you are Awesome! God Bless you!
I must admit that his crime is one I would consider “unforgivable” but seeing how he was able to make a positive impact after the fact is why I could see it may be worth giving people 2nd chances. I’d say he’s on the right track now.
David - You are a remarkable interviewer. I love how you connect to each subject individually, coupled with your unwaivering compassion for the human struggle. Alright Markel The Gazel!! You inspire me good sir..
Yes but also remember this man has to live with the guilt of killing his child in a rage fueled by mental health issues that he may not even known he was struggling with
@@willowbe4747 That is NOT the same to what happened to this poor mother. Not even debatable because it’ll just be idiotic arguments. Apples and oranges
I hope he continues to be out of prison and does better for himself. He admits to laying hands of his pregnant girlfriend/wife. I hope that young people around the world see and hear this man's journey from prison living to living outside of being locked behind iron bars and bricks. I'll keep praying for this man to continue to have his freedom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I feel a sense of pride for Mr Taylor. This is the side of humanity that needs more admiration shunned on. Incarceration is not doomed for all and you can get a second chance at life. Bravo 👏🏿
When he said 2:52 as a marathon time I started to tear up.. because I felt his pain, the long miles, the amount of time he was trapped. I can't wait to watch his documentary.
Respect and love to your for your home life coming up. It's terrible to know how many people have endured such an ordeal. Please don't put your outcomes on to other people. It's judgemental and unhelpful.
Absolutely he needs and deserves another chance at life. And a successful life too. We owe each other that too and all of us deserve another chance. Peace!!!!
David is a awesome interviewer with amazing 👏 guests on his show. He ask the right questions getting awesome answers. May God continue to bless 🙌 the guy's journey for change out of prison.

An extremely inspiring story. Hopefully he stays on the straight and narrow. Much encouragement and the Almighty's grace. Much respect.

He did his time
I wish him the best in his second chance

I hope your time passes quickly up until your release. How much longer do you have?
God bless
Utube from prison 🤔
"I ran to honour my son." Wonderful. You are forgiven
18 years?!?!?!??…this criminal justice system sentencing black men so hard! It’s just crazy. We live in an America with two justice systems.
He killed his unborn son? Maybe other sentences are too lenient, but he deserved this sentence.
Kudos to him. What a wonderful testimony! 🙏🏽😊
What a heartfelt moving story, super inspiring.👏🏽💫💜 Wishing him the absolute best, great done David Begnaud.
MANY BLESSINGS MY BROTHER. PRAYING YOU STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH AND FOCUS ON HELPING OTHERS AND YOURSELF.
