[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 



JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):   Guests don't always have to deal with Christianity or politics. I don't know if we will today or not, but I have with me today, Devin Taylor, thanks for coming on, Devon.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Thank you for having me, that was a great intro. I'm glad to be here.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Well, you know, it's, it's, it's not an act. It, it's part of me just being genuine with everybody, right? You know, it's not a folksy act persona just for the erics. I hit record and bam, we go, as I was telling you. People behind the scenes, you can see the sheet of paper I've got. Next to no notes there. I don't like to script shows, we just go wherever the discussion takes us. It's real rather than pre-scripted. You know what I'm going to say. I know what you're going to say and we put everybody to sleep. So before we get to the book, tell us a little about you. You know, cue the who song. Who are you? Who, who, who, who, who, right? Born where, raised where were you now? All, all that nitty gritty.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah, of course. Yeah. Well, so my name is Devon. I grew up in Lakewood, California. The majority of my life, that's kind of where I lived until I moved on my own to Long Beach. From there, I mean, like what I do, I was a coach for a really long time. I'm coaching again. So that's funny. I say for a really long time for my whole life, I guess. It seems to find me at every point in my life. But recently.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  I'm going to interrupt you. Yeah, please. I could tell you coach because I could tell you just like shouting and yelling and ordering kids around.
DEVON TAYLOR:  That's, that's my favorite part about coaching. I think it's the shouting and yelling. It's something therapeutic about it. I don't know.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Anyway, sorry, I could never, my audience knows I can never pass on the T's, the jokes, the lain punts and the work way. So please continue. What do you coach and then go from there?
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. So I, I coached volleyball for a long time. It's what I played in high school. I played a little in college and I just found a liking to it. And it was easy to me. So naturally, I just got jobs coaching. I was at the head coach of my high school for seven years and then I transferred over to the city college. I did that for three or four years. And then I had, you know, life, life likes a throw us on, you know, trajectories that are completely different than what we expected. One day I was coming home from coaching and I got a call from my mom. At that time we were living together. We had just bought a home in Paris, which was about an hour away from where I was coaching. My niece is an FU's need somewhere to stay. And so instantly I became a parent of four overnight. So. Wow. That's my side and nutshell, but okay. We're led to so much.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yeah. This is right. The old, this is me in a nutshell. Trying to get out of that shell. Yeah. That's, that's it. That'll work better on videos. You go behind the scenes video rather than hearing that on the audio and loses it when you don't see the visual and then you wait. So you were actually a coach. You actually got paid unlike me. I played hockey. So I then officiated hockey and also was a coach for hockey, but as a volunteer, I never got paid. I got paid to referee, but I never got paid to coach.
DEVON TAYLOR:  So funny you say that because I've been thinking about getting into that side of it. I hear there's a lot of, you know, you're dealing with the parents. You're dealing with the kids. There's a lot of like, ah, towards the referees. Yeah. So I don't, you know, I've coached for so long and I've dealt with parents from that angle. So I'm interested to see what it would be like, but I, yeah, I've been thinking about revving too. So it's, it seems like a cool little gig just to get. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Well, that's, it's, again, just natural flowing discussion. I never know what rabbit hole will open up. So I will now tell the audience behind the scenes we happened to be recording on Monday, November, the fourth, the day before the election. You're not here to discuss that at all. But I don't know if anyone is going to hear. Yeah. Well, my point I was going to lead to was yesterday, the Lions game, I was screaming at my TV at the rest of the day. They threw out branch for a hit supposedly to the head. They threw a flag. I agree wholeheartedly. It should have been a penalty, but then New York looked at it and ejected him from the game, which is ridiculous. And the game right afterwards, Rams, Falcons or Titans, I don't remember, but the Rams, they, they can, they were ahead. They allowed it's game to get tied up, but then they won it in overtime. But the very end of that game, there was almost an identical play, a ram, a, a, a, whomever they were playing hit the ram player exactly the same way. No ejection, not even a flag. And it's like they both left their feet before the ball would have been caught. And not knowing they would drop it and they probably wouldn't have dropped it if they wouldn't have hit them. Right. But once you leave your feet, how are you supposed to stop in mid air or change your trajectory? You don't got booster rockets, right? To change your trajectory. So penalty flying should have been in both games needs to be called equally, right?
DEVON TAYLOR:  And that's the thing about refereeing is I couldn't, I, you know, when I, I've had an instance like that where I had a referee not call a call for the other team, but made the call clearly on our side. And that's where it would get real tricky is when you can't have that, you know, then
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you question where, oh, are you related to someone? What's going on here? Is there a bias or was it just a coincidental happen stance that you had a slightly different angle at the one than the other and called the one, but not the other? It's hard to know and parents can't understand that because they've never wore a referee
DEVON TAYLOR:  jersey. Right. Yeah, it's a tough position to be in. And that's, that's why it's been a thought more so than an action on my end because getting into the, I know, you know, once you get in there, you're in the lines, Dan. And I've seen some pretty angry parents at rest. Yeah. If I'm, you were talking about with politics, like I avoided speaking about politics on every week. Oh, especially this election. Yeah. Oh, it's just too decisive. You know, there's an opinion either way you go. There's so much going on between politics. It's, it's a lot if you ask me. Yeah. It's, it's one of those times where I feel like history is going to, history is going to be made tomorrow and, you know, one way or the other.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yes.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Either way. Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yeah. It's going to change the, the first woman president or the first time since Steven Grover Cleveland, a non back to back two term president. So yeah, it's going to be historic either way. One last thing on the referee thing and then we'll actually get to what you're here for. But, I love these podcasts. Hey, I want to be genuine and real with people, right? But yeah, I had to call the cops one time because I was being threatened to come to the ice rink and escort me out of the ice rink. But so yeah, it can get touching go at times, but at any rate and people could see if they're looking behind the scenes on bit you, right, Ian, daily motion, rumble or YouTube as long as they allow me to continue to put behind the scenes. The video's there. I'm having an issue with both YouTube and daily motion right now. So I'm going to make a note about that. I'm going to put the link to the article about all that hassle going on in the show notes, but that's an aside and indeed at any rate. You're here to talk about a book and it is a child's book. So first, give us the title.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. So title is Icarus finds his power. It's got a nice red cover with all the characters on the front.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Oh, it's different from what's behind you. Oh, these are the posters.
DEVON TAYLOR:  OK. Yeah, we've got scenes from the book.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Oh, that makes perfect sense. OK. So again, for those of you listening on audio, well, you missed out.
None:  Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Obviously you. I just usually ask that at the end now. It's on Amazon, right? Yes. So obviously people could go to Amazon and there's probably the peak inside option. They can see the first couple of pages and everything. So we've kind of got that out of the way. But yeah, I'm glad you held up the book cover. So I, we all could understand why I'm going to see the book. And why there's a difference there. What's going on there in the video on the wall behind you there? So what year did it come out?
DEVON TAYLOR:  You know what? It's been a year now. So I want to say it came out in 2023. Let me just double check. Yeah, 2023. It's been a year, which is kind of like surreal to say because this was, was, was, was never really the plan initially. This was me kind of going back to say to myself, like, what is it that you truly feel like you were called here to do? How are you supposed to inspire people? Yeah.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  And I hear you when I talk about my books, right? Terror strikes that came out in 2022. My fifth, this one came out this year. Oh, from back to two actually this year. But like we're talking about that book. It's like at the same time, it seems like yesterday. And on the other hand at times, like Einstein said, time is relative. He's right. And at other times, it seems like forever ago, right? But I'm taking, I'm guessing, I don't want to assume. So I'll ask as a question. Do you probably wouldn't have happened if the four kids wouldn't have lined it up in your lap?
DEVON TAYLOR:  Oh, absolutely. I have credit them so much to what, how they've changed my life and just inspired me to become the better version of myself. And not like it wasn't doing that before, but there are so many things in life that we don't really pay attention to or we don't go after because we don't feel we can do it or we don't believe in ourselves enough. And writing a book was definitely something I didn't believe I could do, nor did I think anyone would care.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  You needed my how to write a book and get it published though.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Absolutely. You know, just any kind of resource to say that you can do this. And you know, when it's not really in the forefront of your mind, it's not something that you're thinking about constantly. It's hard to make something come to life. And I wasn't thinking about it because I wasn't really thinking beyond me before I got the kids. They were a great way of breaking me out of that. Like there's, you know, there's you and then there's beyond you and what you are truly here to accomplish.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yeah. And now you see why I liked the green screen. I changed my background since I dropped my book two of my book titles. I figured I should put up the background temporarily with three of my five up there at any rate because this is about you, not me.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Oh, I love this is great. Like this is even great. You know what I've been noticing a lot of the times when I'm meeting with other people that have podcasts, it's just also getting ideas too. Like that is a great idea. Like, now I have three visuals for your books. Now, now I know what I need to be next. Like awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  What target age range now like my terror strikes, people might think it an adult content, but I wrote it in a way so that middle schoolers and high schoolers could read it to get the historical parts of the historical fiction or as I call it, faction book. And you need to invent a word for your genre and get you some extra publicity. There's a free tip. I'll take you. But anyway, all kidding. Well, I was gonna say all kidding. No, I actually being serious about that. But what age range, what target child age range did you have in mind when you were writing and releasing the book?
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. So at the time, my kids were between the ages of eight and 12, 13 now. So it's an eight and 13 are the ages that I would definitely target towards. But I feel like it's a book for anyone. I really wanted to create it so that parents had a way to connect with their children. You know, we don't really hear about parents reading to their children at night. And, you know, if that's still a thing, I think that's great. And that's kind of why I wrote the book is to kind of create that connection between parent and child and bring a story that would kind of help bring up some emotions between both parent and child and something that they could process together. And, you know, just a new idea on story time and bedtime and just finding ways to connect. Because that's really the idea behind why I wrote it for, you know, myself and the kids. I wanted to be able to connect with them. Initially, it was just about creating the story and, you know, having them create characters. But then when I realized it could be something so much more beyond us, that's when it really just started to take steam.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  So I'm going to start calling you Esau for Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss, I love it. Again, all kidding aside. I like that, right? Just I really like beyond that, the thought then a mother, father, and uncle, grandma, grandpa, whomever can read this to the child at three and four. And then hopefully reintroduce it. They discover it later when they are reading themselves because then there's, as you said, that connection. There's that memory of when mom, dad, and uncle, grandma, grandpa, especially if grandparents are older and they passed, I've now got that connection, that memory back to when grandma or grandpa was alive and read me this book.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. And you know, the story is closely about a son and his mother's connection. So naturally, you know, you're reading a story about the connection between a mom and a son and just how that bomb goes. And I think it just naturally creates questions for parents to talk with their children about that can help foster a more healthy environment. And you know, there are elements of foster care and Icarus having to kind of deal with, you know, being in foster care and what that looks like for him.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  You know, that's great. I love this. Because again, that distinction, a mother, their single family homes now so many, right? But a mother can never really truly be the father and the father can never truly be the mother. And it opens up that dichotomy and that question and not to get political, but I'm gonna. And there's actual differences between males and females.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Absolutely. And I think that's that's that's something that I grew up with. You know, I grew up with a single mom in the house. And for a long time, you know, I didn't really question not having a dad until I was looking around asking where my dad at, you know, it made a big difference for me growing up and not having a father in the household. And you know, my mom would always say the thing like, I'm your mom and your dad. And you know, that's great.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  You know, that's something they kind of got a sort of says the only thing they can say. But was there an uncle or a granddad or a male figure in your life at that time or no?
DEVON TAYLOR:  Honestly, no, I didn't really have very many male figures. And the ones that I did were like external.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  So like I had coaches that were, you know, so you had a little bit in your life of representation and a male mentorship.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. And you know, and my mom remarried. So I like I had my stepdad, but it was I was a little older. And so that, you know, I missed out on a lot that that's why I feel like the kids that I have now, you know, I'm not perfect. We're always if I'm super president.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Nobody is. Nobody is.
DEVON TAYLOR:  I know that me being here at least for them in the house and providing for them in certain ways is going to make a big difference. You know, it's something I didn't have.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  And you're also presenting or providing that potentially for kids that you're coaching that may come from a family without a father. You're that potential male figure example and mentor to understand we need each other. We are male and female and we are meant to depend on each other.
DEVON TAYLOR:  I love you said that because one of I had one of my students actually, I we were talking to them and they were going through, you know, something rough after losing a game and we were just trying to find ways to help them. And, you know, I told them a little bit about my story with my kids and taking them in. And it hit one of the girls a little harder than I expected it to. She came up to me after and she told me, you know, I lost my dad during COVID and to hear you say like you're here for us as a parent or you're here for us as like a mentor really meant a lot because I don't have that in my life right now. And I didn't realize that I had no idea. You know, I just now you're a little more conscious of it. Absolutely. And just more mindful that that, you know, these children really are watching. They're watching. They really need us and they need to be great examples for them because they're our future, you know, right?
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  They are absorbing whether we pay attention that they are paying attention or not both good and bad going on. And we obviously need a better balance of far more good examples in their life than bad examples, unless they become a bad example from the bad they've learned.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Right. Yeah, it's been amazing just kind of seeing that difference too. Like, you know, in my household, I have my four kids, but then going out and coaching, I've got those kids. So just being able to make a positive impact has been something really huge for me lately. And I'm glad that I'm able to do it by writing this book by coaching by whatever I can.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  So yeah, that's great. Do you have you just have the one?
DEVON TAYLOR:  So I just wrote the children's the interest finds this power. I'm working on the second one. I did really. That was the next question. Yeah, I'm working on the second one. It's taking me a little bit more time because I'm trying to be a little bit more mindful about the story that I tell as he goes along his journey. And I really want it to be a little bit more like holding in every direction, if that makes it like action, more emotion, more all of this. And so I'm really, really trying to crowd something that's great. But I did write a chapter in this book called trajectory volume one. This was kind of just kind of telling my story about, you know, taking my kids and having this new life with my partner and us having to figure things out and just writing the book and how it came to be. So it's a book with 17, 16 other stories, 17 altogether. But all of the authors in the story have some kind of story where they've gone through some kind of tragedy. I know one woman speaks about her dad having Alzheimer's. Another author speaks about what was it they speak about, you know, the real estate empire. Another author speaks about how she was kidnapped when she was young. Oh boy. Wow. Just a lot of different stories from a lot of different people who have been through a lot and can kind of give some kind of, I guess, feedback on those situations and be able to help the next person that may be struggling through something similar.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yeah. You are now the second guest that I've had that has something in a compilation. I've had on Trent Brock, who is also got a similar thing in breaking the silent survivors of trauma by Michelle Jewsbury that put it together. I've had on both Trent and her talking about that. And I'm going to reach out to whoever puts trajectory, value one together and say, Hey, we both know Devin Taylor.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Hey, I would love to set that up.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  You know, I think the biggest thing about if you've got contact in for police sending along, I will be happy to have them on. And it'll be like reliving your episode too, because obviously I'll ask them about you during it and link this episode in that episode and love to, you know, all that good cross
DEVON TAYLOR:  promotion stuff. Well, that this whole thing came about because of connections, because we knew someone that knew the person that was putting this together. And so that's, I think that's been one of my big missions too, is just, you know, trying to bridge the gap between the connections that I have in my life. And so yes, absolutely. I would love to build that connection and get you in touch with Jay and Scotty, who kind of led this project.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Okay. I'll have to make a quick note of that. And I'm stalling for time here while I change my background back. All right, Jay and Scotty. I'm writing that down in my notes. Okay. I generally don't start with a lot of notes, but by the time I'm done, I've got a bunch of notes. I got more homework after an interview than I did before an interview. Yeah, again, it's just more normal and natural to me. It's like you and I happened to meet in the diner at the counter and strike up the conversation.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Right. Yeah. And it doesn't happen like that as often anymore. I feel like, well, maybe I'm not going out as much.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Wow. That's because everybody's buried in these, right, sitting as the counter, rather than, you know, how you do? Hey, hello, how are you doing? What do you think of the weather or the small talk? Nobody does that stuff anymore, but it can really, it can really. Oh, there goes the mind in the mouth, not cooperating. It can lead to a great friendship. You never know, right? You can never have too many friends.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Hmm. I think that's the truth. You know, it's, and we're, we're living in a funny time. So I feel like people are becoming more hermit crab than ever. They're self isolating. Yes. Yeah. I mean, because it's, I mean, there's an, there's like an easy factor to that. You know, it's easier to just, you know, go in your home and not have to interrupt. Yeah. And blinders, shut out the world. Yeah. I'm just, yeah, but I mean, that's, that's why I feel like every time I get an opportunity to speak about creating connections, I just want everyone to see what's happening. You do like this was a connection. This was a connection. You know, my entire brand is a connection. The podcast is a connection speaking with you as a connection. So when people are willing to create those connections in their lives, they're going to see not only an upgrade, but just the upgrade of people that are around you. You know, so.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Yeah. I thank you, Devin Taylor for coming on. And I will try to not let the fact that you originally from commie for you completely destroy any respect I've gained for you over this time. No, that way, the power is living here. Trust me. For the benefit of the transcript, we're laughing. This is a joke. We're just having some fun there. But to wrap things up, is there a Devin Taylor author website or a book site? All those things where people can find you and what's going on with the book.
DEVON TAYLOR:  Yeah. So that's the most active on Instagram. So you can find me on Instagram at Devon Taylor author. And that's pretty much where you can find me anywhere. You can find me online on my website, Devon Taylor author.com. You can find me on TikTok, Devon Taylor author. You can find me on YouTube, Devon Taylor author. What else am I on? LinkedIn, Devon Taylor, Facebook, Devon Taylor books and merchandise. I'm all over the place, but I like to keep updated with just like what I'm doing on Instagram. So if anyone wants to follow the next project, which I'm trying to get it, it gris finds his power into a movie. So if anyone has any connection.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Oh, well, I don't have a direct connection, but my terror strikes coming soon to a city new you book is on story rocket. Oh, why don't I look up story rocket? You could put up about your book there and it gets it in front of the eyes of actors, actresses, producers, directors, whatnot. So story rocket, you definitely want to check that out.
DEVON TAYLOR:  And my passion, like I feel before I die, that's that needs to happen. Icarus finds his power, the movie needs to come out. It needs to be an animation. It needs to be for children, for adults, it needs to be in the likes of like a Disney movie, but I want to take on different art styles and really create something super special because there's so many elements of the story that are magical that would really translate well into a movie. So that's like a big, big focus right?
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Well, I hope for you, you find a nice independent studio that will do it rather than Disney or Pixar or any of those other normal ones. You're just a quick turnaround product to them. Whereas an independent studio, if they like your book, they want to bring it because they really care about your book and you. You're not just, you know, really small wheel and the big cog of all the machinery. So again, thank you, Devin Taylor for coming. I had another joke I was going to tease you, but now it's less my brain. But because again, we've got to keep a sense of humor over go crazy. And like, you know, like you said about connections, like I said, you can never have enough friends. And indeed, like I gave you story rocket, you never know what a connection may lead to
DEVON TAYLOR:  for something else. I love that. Thank you so much for that. Thank you for having me. This was a lot of fun. I appreciated the experience. And I feel like this is a, it was like a breath of fresh air. Like tell my story, but tell it in such an authentic way.
