CENTER COURT LEADERSHIP – Dr. Dee Stokes

Hello everyone everywhere, this is Pastor Robert Thibodeau and I want to welcome you to the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast for today!  We have something special for you today…

Let me tell you just a little bit about our guest today. Dr. Dee Stokes was on our program WAYYYY BACKKK a few years ago. Episode 61 and 62…that was over 400 episodes ago!  Glory to God!

Dr. Dee Stokes is a spiritual leader and advisor who focuses on ministry, purposeful leadership and Kingdom Education in an effort to “Build Influential People Who Change the World.” She spent 18 years as a college level basketball coach before answering the call of God on her life for ministry. Her dreams and desires then shifted from winning college basketball championships to winning souls for the Kingdom of God!  Amen!

Before going into ministry, she worked for institutions such as University of Alabama; Texas A&M, Winthrop University and the University of Nebraska as an assistant coach. She was the head coach of East Carolina University, Winston-Salem State University and Southeastern University. She was also an Assistant Professor of Education at Southeastern.  She is currently an adjunct at Belhaven University in their Online Sports Administration and Leadership Programs, all while serving in her local church and as the President and CEO of Dee Stokes Ministries!  Glory to God!

Help me welcome, back to the program, Dr. Dee Stokes!  Dee, thank you for taking the time to catch up with us! Amen!

Ok, Dee, just to catch everybody up, let me ask you this. In your own words, tell us, “Who is Dee Stokes?”

Last time we talked, you shared with us some of the obstacles you had to overcome in life. Can you refresh that a bit and catch up some of our listeners who have not heard your prior interview?

I know some of our listener’s attention was captured when I mentioned you were a college level basketball coach. How hard was the decision making process to answer the call of God for ministry when you were experiencing success on that level?

Tell me about “Center Court Leadership Training.” What is this all about?

You speak about “Intentionality in Leadership.”  Can you explain a little bit about that?

You do a lot of traveling and speaking. What is one of the major problems you see when speaking that needs to have more exposure and light shed on that problem?

When you were on last time, you had released two books, “Experience Grace: One Woman’s Year Long Journey with God After the Death of Her Mother” and “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball” that you wrote in cooperation with Jack Canfield.  Since then, you have release two more books. “Break the Box: A Message of Hope and Inspiration,” volumes One and Two. First, congratulations on the new books. Can you share a little bit about those books.

How does all of this fit into your Life Coaching and Discipleship Training?

You also have your own publishing company, correct?  Are you accepting manuscripts for review?

Dee, it sure was nice to catch up with you. We’ve been talking on and off on Facebook for the last couple of years. I’m so blessed to be able call you a friend and sister in the Lord. I may not comment all of the time on Facebook, but you are one of the people that I definitely follow and keep up with. You are doing some mighty work for the Lord. Keep it up! Amen!

Folks, I cannot recommend Dr. Dee Stokes books to you highly enough…she is a prolific writer and her books will touch your soul – guaranteed. You really need to get her books. As a matter of fact, GET TWO OF EACH!  Bless someone you love with her books as well. I’ve read them and I can attest it will touch your soul as well.

Dee, if someone wanted to reach out to you, perhaps ask a question, or ask you to come and speak – or maybe do an interview such as this…how can they get in touch with you?

Folks, that is all the time we have for today. Dee, it’s been good to talk again. Let’s not wait another two years or so to do this again!

For Dee Stokes and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
