5:23
You know, I face something weird. I said it because I may call
5:28
throughout. So I just wanted to Hey, it's all good. So tell
5:36
us a little bit about yourself before we dive into this book here. Okay,
5:42
Well I am, so let me just start off because I put doctor
5:46
in front of my name, so everybody's like you a doctor because by my
5:50
pharmacist. But you know, so a lot of the pharmacists go and their
5:54
doctors. I didn't do that. I just got to be yes. But
5:56
I went to law school. Now lawyers is a Jewish doctorate degree, but
6:00
most lawyers don't call themselves doctor. It wasn't until I went and talked at
6:05
a university where it was like I couldn't even get hired unless I had a
6:10
doctor a degree, and so they had everybody had come me doctor, and
6:13
I was like, oh, I like color and have people call me doctor.
6:18
So I'm doctor Ray Keltosan. I am originally from Saint Louis, Missouri.
6:24
I'm down here in Orlando, Florida, working for a little while before
6:28
I go back to La where where I love. I love La because of
6:32
the weather, it's very mild. I'm like goldie locks. It's too hot,
6:36
too cold. I need to that just right, you call goldie locks.
6:41
I've got my goldie locks. Right. I'm a mother to a twenty
6:46
nine year old who just got married, so I got a whole kind of
6:49
going. All right, yeah, but I mean that's just me. I'm
6:54
the only child for my mom and but you know, and baby girl from
7:00
my dad. Oh okay, okay, So I'm gonna action now. So
7:05
you from your in Orlando now, but you're going to La. So I'm
7:11
gonna action. Earthquake over hurricane? Which one? You're choosing? Earthquake all
7:15
day? Why they're so they're so sudden. At least for a hurricane you
7:21
can get a ped So, so this is how I look at it.
7:27
I've been out in La. I lived out in LA for eighteen years before
7:30
I moved back to Florida for you know, temporarily, and we never we
7:34
didn't have a big one. We have small ones. Like the small ones
7:38
are good because that eases take attention out right now, you know, they
7:44
just had one in New York. Their faults everywhere, yes, and see
7:47
everybody else. They haven't been you know, so the big, the big
7:50
earthquake that people talk about, it's not gonna happen in California because I believe
7:55
it's gonna happen somewhere in Middle America because they don't have enough earthquake, you
8:01
know what. We had one here I think it was a three point one
8:05
here in Charlton, and it's just sounded like a lightning boat that happened outside
8:11
the window. So you know, we're from Chauceton. We don't know what's
8:13
going on. We're going outside out doing everybody accent, and there is a
8:18
big fault line, like if there's a big fault line here in Charlston.
8:22
And more of the quakes have been happening like Irmo and up in that area.
8:28
But sometimes between here and some of those we get some. So I
8:33
totally understand where you're coming from. But you did you you have to take
8:37
a little shape and it's morter, but you I don't know, wain no
8:43
joke. I guess I bet I went through Hugo. So it's like this
8:52
ain't nothing, you know, you know, you know, when time to
8:56
get ready, they start giving you that look of you don't know what's about
9:00
to happen. All right, time to pack your bag, let's go.
9:03
But totally understand. So let's dive into this book. Okay, first we're
9:11
go on top of this title here, Why are church folks poor? Elevate
9:16
your thoughts that exercise your fee to live an abundant life? Could you break
9:26
it down? Okay? So, first of all, I just want anybody
9:31
out there that may be like clutching our pearls, like, uh, I
9:33
am church folk, so I'm not like just in the church, but I'm
9:39
not talking about something I don't know. I am church folk, right,
9:41
And so this book and let me back up. Whenever God works, go
9:48
works with me and I go through something, He's like, okay, write
9:52
a book about it because somebody else is going through that, or somebody gonna
9:56
go through it, and let's just have it out there so he can be
9:58
ready to do it. Right. So I told you I went from Orlando
10:01
to la My son said he wanted to act, and this was when he
10:05
was eleven, so I was like that, let's do it. My dad
10:07
lived out there. Now I had a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars house
10:13
in Orlando. Well even back then in La you went for about nothing,
10:18
for two hundredifty dollars. Not in a nice neighborhood. I don't even think
10:22
in the hood you went for two hu fifty thousand dollars. Right, So
10:26
I had just said, well, like, I guess I'm just not gonna
10:28
ever buy a house. Right, So the thoughts my thought, I will
10:35
never buy a house. But now watch this, I didn't have a job.
10:39
Well, we were living in a nice apartment, nice neighborhoods, nice
10:41
apartments. We went from a studio apartment to a one bedroom apartment to a
10:46
two bedroom part all without me having a job. Now, how could I
10:52
even open my mouth to say that God couldn't buy me a house, you
10:56
know, get me a house when he was constantly showing me. So it
10:58
was like I felt like me and my son we were like the Egyptian I
11:01
mean the Israelites. We was just you know, it was like for the
11:05
day, but we were actually living really could with me having no job.
11:11
Money just always game. He always got a job, something happened, to
11:15
get a book of commercial book, something something that happened. I would get
11:18
work, you know, a little temporary work, and everything worked out right,
11:22
you know, so it took me ten years before I, you know,
11:28
got in my mind right, my elevated my thoughts to say, hey,
11:31
you know what, we could buy a house. We need a house,
11:35
right, And it's like all these things that I had to do,
11:39
But one of the things I had to do, I had to, like
11:41
when I say, elevate my thoughts. I grew up in church, and
11:46
so I could quote scriptures. I might not be able to tell you exactly
11:48
where it is, but I call scriptures. But I didn't live that because
11:54
those scriptures wasn't helping me move, Like I wasn't exercise in my faith.
12:00
It's like, okay, I'm gonna do this, But I finally did.
12:05
So I went from no house and no money in the bank to own it
12:09
two houses six months later. It was just and it wasn't just a decision.
12:15
It was actually working out and doing some practical things. But the main
12:20
thing was get my mind to actually believe that I could do well. And
12:24
so I just want to share that with everybody else. Faith without works is
12:30
dead. So you put your faith in the work. So choice, but
12:33
the flourish, I mean he said it in the world. So yeah,
12:39
I grew up in the church, too, So I can't quote a scripture,
12:43
but I know what his word says. I might be like Madia and
12:46
get even and Eve mixed up, but you know, we got it,
12:50
we understand. So I mean, we're we have a lot of preachers who
13:07
preach the word of abundance, but they won't show people how to get there.
13:16
And it's it's and I'm speaking for myself, like I've seen people who
13:26
say, you know what, I've seen people say, I just wait till
13:35
God, God will give me what I'm supposed to get. And and our
13:39
producer always says that you have to you have to show up. And if
13:43
you don't show up, how you expect God to show up? So how
13:48
does your book bring that to life? How did tell people? Look,
13:52
if you want God to show up, you got to show up. What
13:56
kind of points do you show that in your book? Well, first of
13:58
all, and I put it at the end of the book, and then
14:01
I realized, I was like, I probably should have started at the beginning.
14:03
First of all, we got to know what we want we got.
14:05
What does abundance even look like? What does success? You know? Like
14:09
most people are like, oh, I'm you know, I'm good I'm good,
14:11
but like, are you like abundance for me? Because I love to
14:16
travel. If I can't travel, my I'm not living an abundant life,
14:20
you know. And I'm ready to get to the point why I'm only traveling
14:24
first class because it's so much nicer because I got these big it's girl,
14:28
it's so much more nice to travel with some seeds and anyway. But we
14:35
have to decide what is abundant lie and also for me it is freedom.
14:39
Like right now, I'm down here working this job and they want me to
14:43
come five days a week and I'm just like, really five days but eight
14:50
hours really? Like, so we have to we have to decide what abundance
14:58
look like. It can't be about, you know, keeping up with the
15:01
Kardashians, but it also can't be just like, oh, you know,
15:05
everything is good and people because you know, people live in a comfort zone
15:09
and they don't really you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, no,
15:11
no, no, no, no, no, what what what would
15:13
make you happy? Because what I believe is God wants for us is our
15:18
good is good? Right, God is good. He wants us to be
15:22
good, have good and do good. Okay, But we get to decide
15:26
what that good is and what that good looks like. All right, and
15:30
then so once we decide that, now we have to believe that we are
15:35
worthy. Oh because now that right there, Because if you grow up in
15:39
church, girl, you know that makes you feel like you ain't nothing but
15:41
a sinner save our grace. But you keep hearing and I'm a center.
15:45
I'm a center. How you gonna feel worried that I have the good?
15:48
That you won't come on, y'all. I'm not apprecier or anything like that.
15:56
Oh, enters, No, you are. You were made in the
16:00
image of God, and God is good. Where does sinner come from?
16:04
Stop it? Because this is real stuff. Because how if you if you
16:14
don't feel worthy to have your own business, you're not gonna ever go out
16:19
there and step out on faith and have it. And you're not gonna,
16:22
you know, read the scriptures and get you're not gonna do it. Now.
16:27
God is good in our comfort zone. Look at the children of Israel
16:32
and in your coming zone. You always have something to eat. You would
16:34
have enough for the day, and they can be comfortable for people. But
16:40
God wants more. That's what Jesus said. I came to that you might
16:42
have life and have it more abundantly. So what we're gonna do, and
16:49
part of it really is understanding who you are and putting something like I said,
16:53
put some respect on your name. Okay, you know what, I'm
16:57
gonna need you to stop scratching in front of my front door. I got
17:00
my own broom. I don't need you to bring your broom and sweep my
17:03
front door. I don't need you to do that because this is some of
17:08
the things I have to tell myself. Yeah, like you are preaching to
17:15
you want me to sing, I can't sing good, but I sing because
17:18
you preaching to the choir right now. And that is true. And everybody's
17:26
trouble the water. You know what I'm saying. People don't understand that there's
17:30
gonna be a time where the water's gonna have to be trouble because you need
17:36
to see what you're made up. And I feel like, right now that's
17:38
what the period I am. My water is being trouble because I need to
17:41
see what I'm mean for. And I know and you're talking to me and
17:45
my producer and I know she's shaking her head. Yeah, I need to
17:48
start showing up like I'll do it and then I'll fall back. But now
17:52
it's like I even challenge myself that I'll do such and such and such during
17:57
the time. And we need to know what we want. We gotta go
18:00
for what we want. And that's a lot of church people are not even
18:04
church people, just people in general don't even know what they want mm hmm.
18:08
And there's nothing wrong. And then it is that even me, who
18:14
I've done this and I but it's next, it's next levels. I want
18:18
a four million dollar house at the beach. Oh my gosh, that's like
18:22
that's a lot. God, Like, really, why are you putting that
18:26
desire at me? And it's like, okay, well, being a pharmacist,
18:30
hey gonna do It's so. And then, because like I said,
18:36
I'm being transparent here. I'm down here in Florida with my allergies. I
18:40
don't have allergies in La. My allergies don't bother me in LA. My
18:45
allergies on working this job. They want me to come up and it's because
18:48
I'm trying to get money, and it's like, come on, man,
18:51
you gotta do better. So I'm just I'm not. It's me like when
18:53
I talk about church bub it's me yes, So I am saying this title
19:00
says church folks that just need to say everybody, Well, the reason why
19:06
I did I said that, and that it's because they they came out with
19:10
a book called The Secret. I heard about that, the law of attraction.
19:15
It is a scripture. It ain't none for scripture. So non church
19:21
folks already know the principles of God. They read the scripture the Secret,
19:26
and they have been you know, keep elevating their thoughts. They they not
19:32
calling it God, they're calling universe, but they are using principles of God
19:37
like ask and it shall be given. I know you said you don't know
19:41
the Bible, but you know that's in the Bible right right right, And
19:45
that's what they're talking about. And so I said, if you don't like
19:48
the term the law of attraction, just call it the ask and the ask
19:52
and it shall be given promise, because that's what it is. And we
19:56
have to get to the point where we believe that. So it's the reason
20:00
why it's for church vote because the people outside of the church, girl,
20:04
they already doing it. They become a millionaires, they do it, all
20:08
of that stuff. Now it's our term. It's our term. You know
20:15
what. You said that and they made me think of something like it kind
20:21
of way. I feel like the church kind of runs away from abundance because
20:27
the preachers who used to talk about the prosperty, like Creflo Dollar and those
20:30
kinds of people, people are like, oh, oh, they're horrible.
20:33
They're horrible. Now we'll say this though, we need more more millionaires in
20:38
the church than the pastor. So if you and this is I'm not knocking
20:44
anybody's pastor, but if the pastor is not teaching you how to do a
20:48
business plan, not having workshops to teach you how to invest, teaching you
20:52
to get you some life insurance, if they're not teaching you how to do
20:59
marketing, if they're not teaching you know what I'm saying, if they not
21:07
what, drop it, drop it, drop it, because I just really
21:12
would love to see to learn those things right. So we would love to
21:18
see this in churches that we do credit repair classes, we teach people how
21:25
to budget. I would love to see that in church. I do know
21:30
a church that I follow online that she does that, and she would go
21:37
live and she would you know, broadcast it out to everybody. Her name
21:41
is Jamelo Gooden, and I follow her and she does this. She does
21:45
a home ownership classes. I really don't know much churches down here in Charleston
21:51
and actually do that. And if they are, they must be just telling
21:52
their members are not people outside of the church. But wow, you you
22:02
dropping all kinds of and we ain't even get to any other questions. Were
22:04
just still talking about this first question. I mean, but yeah, oh
22:15
oh, okay, okay, So since we said we talked about going for
22:21
what we want, okay, I'm gonna ask you what does the words literary
22:26
literary success mean to you? Okay? So it's different for me because I'm
22:32
a I write what God gives me, right, and and people are looking
22:41
at me because if they read my book under Foul, they're like, I
22:42
need that. Yeah. Yeah, So success is if the person that God
22:51
had me write it for gets it and and and changes their life or does
22:56
something whatever God needed them to get. Okay, then that that really is
23:00
a success. But now I'm just asking God, you know, and I'm
23:07
gonna put my stink on it too, so I can have some financial success.
23:11
I don't have to be a USA bestseller. That would be nice.
23:15
You know, I've been a you know, on Amazon bestseller list, but
23:19
you know you stay on that for sometimes that quick and it it's done.
23:23
That was nice. Money, like I said, would be nice. But
23:27
the main thing is that the right people get the message. And that's why
23:32
even though I wrote this book some years ago, Tom, okay, you
23:36
gotta go back and do some more. People ready, they ready go back
23:40
and do it some more. And then to us everything. He had to
23:42
work on me because I was a little fearful to talk about church folk because
23:48
when I first people were like, we we gotta have no money in this
23:52
better than half, you know, just all kind of wrongness and just all
23:56
loud and wrong right, just typing on my little stuff. And I just
24:02
like, ooh, I don't like that. But I had to get some
24:04
courage. That's like God's people need to hear it. I still I needed
24:08
to keep I need to keep listening to it. And so I'm like,
24:12
you know what, let's do it. So success is that the right people
24:17
get the message. There you go, there you go. So man,
24:26
okay, I hardly ever go through a show and not do a commercial.
24:30
And I feel like I just started talking to you and it's already a twenty
24:33
five. This is crazy, This is so. What advice would you give
24:40
to someone publishing their first book. What would you say to that author who's
24:45
like, you know what I'm through, I just can't do this, Or
24:48
that author like, here's my baby, what do I do with in town?
24:52
What would you say to that? Well, let's go back to can
24:56
we talk to the people who got a book in their head and and haven't
25:00
done it yet? Can we talk to those people? Because I feel God
25:03
telling me that I need to talk to those people first, because there's so
25:07
many people out there. If they got books inside, they're like, oh,
25:11
but it's already been written. And let me just tell y'all. If
25:14
y'all liked the Bible, just talk about the New Testament. It's four gospels,
25:18
four different people talked about the same story and they did it differently,
25:22
and thank God they did because I loved John's version better than all of them,
25:26
so they did it right. So it doesn't matter that it's already been
25:30
talked about. If God told you to talk about it, you need to
25:36
talk about it because there's somebody that's gonna hear it better from you from your
25:40
angle with your stories and things like that, because you're not gonna just you
25:45
know, it's not gonna be the same story. It's gonna be your little
25:48
stain. You're gonna put your thing on it. And there's some people out
25:51
there that need your things. So if you got a book idea, I'm
25:56
gonna need you to get it out your head and get it into the computer,
26:00
period, because God didn't give it to you for you to keep it.
26:04
And and I'm right now, I'm hoping that your characters, if it's
26:07
a fiction book, that your characters will not let you rest until you get
26:11
the book out. To get out and get the book out your head and
26:14
on to the page. And I say that because my characters are like that.
26:17
My characters will be like, but what about my story? You forgot
26:22
about me? What when we come to my story? Yeah, so I
26:27
wanted to say that first, so them people now do even talk to the
26:32
people that like already wrote it, or we want to stay on the people
26:36
who haven't readen it yet? What you want me to do? I'm still
26:38
at the point where you sed toy and you know what, born and raised
26:42
in church all my life. I just realized when you said that this month.
26:48
Of the four Gospels, it's the same situation is written by for different
26:53
people. I just realized that. I was like, Oh my God,
26:56
cheese, how dumb can you be? Like that's so okay, okay,
27:03
it's like, my Lord, when you like really think about stuff because we
27:06
have excuses or why we don't do stuff. And I do love the Bible.
27:11
Now, I tell people this would really give me in trouble. I
27:17
would not die on anything that's in the Bible. I'm not gonna like put
27:21
it up like I down at Hell because God didn't write it. People wrote
27:25
it. They wrote about their experiences with God. They may have been exaggerating,
27:29
I don't know, but they gave me some good information. They showed
27:33
me some stuff, and I believe it God to send me to the things
27:36
that I need to do, to help me with the with the promises,
27:41
and you know, give you just the prescription of what to do and how
27:45
to do it. But I will say this, people put so much on
27:51
those Those were regular people that wrote those books. Who's to say that my
27:56
book years later, people won't be like, oh my goodness, this is
28:00
word, this is straight from God. And you know what I tell people
28:04
that all the time, because when it comes to working at a library,
28:08
there's always that one book that people are like, oh, it's already seen
28:14
this time, it's already seen its time. Right now they're talking about a
28:18
book that was very popular. I can't remember how long ago. But if
28:22
you are those that read could fiction like me or streak contemporary, y'all remember
28:30
the book Oh by the Soldier. It was just in my head the sis
28:36
the Soldier wrote this book a long time ago. It's now about to become
28:41
a movie, Like, are you serious? So I always tell my authors
28:47
an old book is always a new book because your book has not touched the
28:52
hands of everybody. Amen, so you know what you Yeah, is there
29:02
anything you're working on right now that we should know about it? Well,
29:06
just with my book water Church fel Poor I am putting. I'm going to
29:11
do a workshop actually next Sunday. It's going to be a free workshop.
29:15
But then it's ninety nine dollars to be VIP. And what VIP does,
29:19
basically, it just gets you a private one on one to kind of discuss
29:23
what we talked about or whatever else you want to discuss about the book that
29:27
you need help on because I think that even if people read the book,
29:33
if they don't do the exercises, because there's exercises in the book, they
29:37
don't grow. You just read it because you know, what's the use of
29:41
having an information and you don't use it, Like you know, it's like
29:45
faith without works is dead. So it's like actually using it. Like there's
29:49
one thing I put in the book. Let me just say, find life
29:52
minded people. Yes, I'm not saying to stop to be you know,
30:00
stop being friends with the people in your circle, but it may be time
30:03
to befriend people who are thinking like you have already elevated their thoughts. Like
30:08
I have a couple of millionaires in my circle now because I'm trying to get
30:12
there. So I was like, let me put some millionaires. I love
30:17
my people who are millionaires and I'm not gonna let them go, but I'm
30:21
going to add some millionaires to my circle so I can figure out what they're
30:26
doing, so I can learn how to do that, get my mind right.
30:30
And you know, so finding like minded people is huge, Yes,
30:37
is huge. And if people don't do that, and if we don't teach
30:42
her children to do that, let me tell you. Let me just real
30:48
quick. Just to make this really clear, my grand baby she runs track
30:55
and she was fast. She was you know, she was doing the thing
30:57
right. She was fast first place, second way. But then when she
31:03
moved to a different level, she was like eighth place, but her times
31:10
was faster. But you in, you in a group that you the top
31:18
dog, but your numbers still low. You get in a group where you
31:22
like number eight, but your numbers grow. So you in a circle and
31:26
you got you making sixty thousand dollars and you like life is uh, you
31:30
know, you're like um drum. But then you get into a different circle
31:34
and you like the top dog no more. But they have elevated and now
31:38
you making one hundred and fifty thousand, and you know, going on trips
31:45
and seeing the world. Yeah, you see what I'm saying. So we
31:49
let's stop getting caught up from being number one. Let's let's let's look at
31:55
our time, let's look at our stacks. I'd rather have better stats then
32:00
be a number one. Okay, makes sense? Dropping just dropping them,
32:06
left them right, You're dropping them because that makes a lot of sense.
32:09
Because once you get the number one, you feel like that's it. You
32:13
can't but you have to challenge yourself to continue to go higher, right,
32:19
don't becomplacent where you are, right. See, you know what, why
32:24
need you to send me some information so I could share to everybody about this
32:30
event you got coming up on Sunday. And you never know, you might
32:36
hear somebody saying, you know, I saw you on that podcast and I
32:37
ain't need to talk to you. Right, Well, it's just wire church
32:42
folkfore dot com, okay yo. And they can get the book and they
32:46
can sign up for the workshop and then if they just want it, if
32:52
they don't, they want to skip the workshop and just want to work with
32:53
me because they like how I'm sounding and they and they need that push that
32:58
somebody pushed them like that. I'm available. Yeah. Right. So you
33:05
say you like to travel, right, I love the travel, okay.
33:08
And you said you got that that that grand another family member that lives in
33:14
Columbia. I mean you might need to talk and see we having a little
33:20
books you know, little bookstop that's gonna be happening in Colombia in October.
33:24

33:31
gonna let you get through Sunday and then I'm a bugger. I'm going to
33:37

33:44

33:55

34:01

35:45
I wanted to read the book and it was good. It was good.
35:50
So hey, you know what, you guys, you heard her. She
35:52

35:55
this book into a movie. And I saw that you'd have some children's books
36:01
also, Yes, my son and I so when my son was little,
36:06
I didn't like the bedtime Prayer. Lord. Now I let me down to
36:08
sleep because I didn't want him thinking about his soul to keep and all that
36:13
kind of stuff. So we came up with a bedtime prayer, and we
36:16
he actually recorded a song, the bedtime prayer to the song for at least
36:22
and then we decided to finally make it into a book. My mom passed
36:27
away in two thousand and nine, so we have her, you know,
36:30
she's central part of the book. And then we have a second book,
36:35
