Listen to Exegesis of Jesus

HILTON CHRISTOPHER YOUNG, SR., BORN FEBRUARY 25, 1974, A NATIVE OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
HILTON PRESENTLY RESIDES IN DALLAS, TEXAS AS A RESULT OF HURRICANE KATRINA. SURVIVING HURRICANE KATRINA IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY CHALLENGES FACED BY THIS YOUNG MAN. AT THE TENDER AGE OF SIX YEARS OLD HE EXPERIENCED THE DEMISE OF HIS MOTHER, LINDA ANN YOUNG AND WITH A FATHER WHO WAS NEVER A PART OF HIS LIFE, WAS RAISED BY HIS GRANDMOTHER, HELEN BENNETT JOHNSON.

HILTON DESCRIBES HIS GRANDMOTHER AS A PRAYER WARRIOR, A VIRTUOUS WOMAN FULL OF INTEGRITY,
RESILIENT A VERY HARD WORKER. SHE WAS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, LOYAL, DEDICATED AND DEVOTED,
THE EPITOME OF A GODLY WOMAN. HILTON GLEANED FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER AND THROUGH HER TEACHINGS AND EXAMPLE, RECEIVED HIS SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT. MRS. JOHNSON TOOK HER REST IN 1999 AFTER A BOUT WITH CANCER. SHE LEAVES BEHIND A LEGACY THAT WILL LIVE ON THROUGH HILTON AND GENERATIONS TO COME. ALSO RAISED BY HIS GRANDFATHER ANDREW WILLIAM JOHNSON, HILTON LEARNED SOME OF LIFE’S LESSONS FROM HIM.
HIS GRANDFATHER PAST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE STORM IN 2005.

HILTON HAS AN OLDER SISTER, DELISHA BOYD, WHO IS AN INSPIRATION TO HIM AS WELL AS AN INFINITE
ENCOURAGER AND A NIECE, KRISTIN BOYD WHO IS ONE OF HIS BIGGEST FANS. HILTON HAS OTHER SIBLINGS THROUGH HIS FATHER. HILTON WAS RAISED IN THE LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD OF HOLLYGROVE. THOUGH SURROUNDED BY VIOLENCE AND DRUGS, THE FOUNDATION SET EARLY IN HIS LIFE EQUIPPED HIM TO BE MORE THAN JUST A STATISTIC. HILTON WAS RAISED CATHOLIC AND CONVERTED TO THE BAPTIST FAITH AT THE AGE OF 19

GFSOLDIER, A MAN WHO NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION, ASSUMES HIS POSITION ON EVERY PLATFORM AS A SOLDIER ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF A WAR THAT IS CONSTANTLY WAGING BETWEEN THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. OFTEN REFERRED TO, BY A GROUP OF HIS PEERS, AS THE “BISHOP” OF SPOKEN WORD POETRY, GFSOLDIER HAS AN EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO ORCHESTRATE SOUND BIBLICAL DOCTRINE, AND THE ACUITY TO CONJURE UP THOUGHTS OF EXEGETICAL STRATEGIES THAT ARE BOTH RELEVANT AND HARMONIOUS TO THE INTENDED ASSEMBLAGE OF
LISTENERS.

GIFTED WITH THE DEXTEROUS DESIGN TO ARCHITECT WORDS, GFSOLDIER NOT ONLY STIMULATES THE MIND,
BUT MINISTER TO THE SPIRIT. HAVING THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF KNOWLEDGE, TEACHING, AND EXHORTATION,
GFSOLDIER’S DELIVERY IS ONE THAT PERMEATES THE INWARD PARTS OF THE BELLY, AND PENETRATES THE VERY DEPTHS OF THE HUMAN SOUL WHILE CAPTIVATING A CROWD WITH BOTH EMOTION AND INTELLECT.

GFSOLDIER BRINGS TO THE STAGE AN EMBODIMENT OF GOD GIVEN TALENT THAT HE CAPITALIZES ON AS HE DELIVERS HIS MESSAGE WITH EVANGELIC FERVOR, YET MAINTAINING CARNAL HUMILITY. BEING CALLED THE “BISHOP” IS IN REFERENCE TO HIS UNORTHODOX STYLE AND DEMEANOR THAT WOULD EXPRESS THE SIMILARITIES OF A PREACHER. HE ALSO HAS A PECULIAR WRITING STYLE THAT GIVES HIM THE CAPACITY TO PIECE TOGETHER AND JUXTAPOSE SERMONS OF RHYME SEQUENCE THAT REFLECTS THE BIBLICAL POETIC PRINCIPLES OF SYNONYMOUS AND
ANTITHETICAL PARALLELISM. HIS PRESENCE CAPTIVATES AUDIENCES AND COMMANDS ATTENTION

IN ANY ARENA REGARDLESS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
THROUGH OBEDIENCE AND SACRIFICE, HE HAS EVOLVED INTO A SKILLFUL POETIC ORATOR WHOSE WORKS CONTINUALLY BRING FORTH REVELATION AS THEY NOT ONLY MINISTER TO HIM FIRST, BUT TO THOSE WHO HEAR HIM.

GFSOLDIER’S OBJECTIVE IS TO ATTEMPT TO REVEAL THE INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THEOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY, AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE ISSUES THAT EVERYDAY PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH MENTALLY. HIS MISSION IS TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC THROUGH THE POWER OF SPOKEN WORD POETRY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE LOST, AND ULTIMATELY WIN SOULS TO CHRIST.
