About

I am here to empower, advance, and energize you—spiritually, mentally, and physically. I am anointed and deeply passionate about edifying the whole body of Christ while encouraging excellence in every area of life for those I encounter.

I come from a rich spiritual legacy as the grandson of the late Bishop William C. Abney and the son of Elder William Austin and Executive Pastor Jan Austin. I am also a devoted husband to Pastor Veverly (Cookie) Austin and a proud father of four wonderful children: my sons Trenton, Kyle, and Jaiden, and my daughter Alexandria.

I’ve preached across the globe — from major revivals to influential conferences — igniting faith, restoring hope, and awakening purpose. I’ve had the honor of serving on boards like the YWCA, The World Leaders Group, and the Children’s Advocacy Center of Kent County, as well as GRAP (Grand Rapids Area Pastors), where I joined the fight for justice, equity, and community transformation.

I don’t just talk about change — I build it. Whether mentoring emerging leaders, consulting churches in transition, or advising entrepreneurs seeking divine alignment, I’m passionate about helping others unlock their purpose and walk in true prosperity — spirit, soul, and strategy.

In 2025, I’m releasing two transformative books:

📘 Functioning Failure — a powerful journey of authenticity, identity, and overcoming hidden battles

📘 Leading Through the Turn — a prophetic guide for navigating leadership transitions with wisdom, boldness, and clarity
