In this special conclusion to my series, Band Pit to Pulpit, we sit with the man who not only gave me his name but helped shape my call, my father,

Bishop Wade S. McCrae. I affectionately call him “Rev.” He’s been my pastor, mentor, protector, and blueprint for spiritual leadership. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a commissioning. A final word from the one who first showed me how to stand behind a pulpit with integrity and fire.
