Prodigal – Leaving Church and Finding God : Leaving Church and Finding God

Leaving Church and Finding God

Meet Don Jackson, an entrepreneur, author, spiritualist, and motivational speaker based in Los Angeles, California. With over 35 years of success in the music and entertainment industry, Jackson's journey is a testament to resilience and dedication. Starting in music, Jackson quickly transitioned into concert promotion where he earned a reputation for attracting top talent, including MC Hammer, Boys II Men, Snoop Dogg, and New Kids on the Block. In 2000, he founded J.E. Holdings Inc., a diverse entertainment and e-commerce enterprise encompassing record labels, concert promotion, event management, and ticket sales. Under J.E. Holdings Inc., Jackson's private record label, JEA Records, released saxophonist Eldredge Jackson's debut album, Listening Pleasure, in 2008, co-produced by NBA legend Wayman Tisdale. Raised in the nation's largest evangelical Black church, Jackson's upbringing instilled a belief in boundaries and religious norms. However, a transformative near-death experience shattered these beliefs, leading Jackson to question mainstream religious institutions and the world's inherent brokenness. Prodigal?challenges traditional perspectives on spirituality and identity, exploring self-guided spirituality, the flaws within mainstream churches, and the essence of being a man of God in today's society. Through thought-provoking narratives, Jackson reminds readers of our interconnectedness and urges them to embrace their inherent divinity.
