A Motherless Child with Scott Mason | Rise From The Shadows Podcast
Welcome back to a special Black Friday edition of Rise From The Shadows, where we dive into a captivating narrative with the incredible Scott Mason. In this emotionally charged episode, Scott shares his profound journey of self-discovery and resilience.
Listen as Scott recounts the poignant story of Leroy Garvin playing the harp at his mother's church, every fourth Sunday, singing "A Motherless Child." The echoes of this song resonate deeply with Scott, an adopted child, as he unravels the layers of his own identity.
Delve into Scott's transformative journey—from being born in England as Calvin Fronz Crowdey to adoption by an African-American family and relocation to Kansas. He candidly discusses the challenges of struggling with the sense of not being wanted by his family and growing up in an environment that seemed to resist his true destiny. The poignant question lingers: What if he were still Calvin?
At the age of 12, a serendipitous encounter with a book in a Denver bookstore became a turning point. D'Aularies' Greek Myths, with its theme of heroes rising from adoption, became a beacon of hope for Scott. It allowed him to confront the monsters in his life and eventually overcome the shadows that haunted him.
Scott's story is a testament to the power of hope and self-discovery. Join us in this episode as he encourages us to find our personal avatars through Greek Mythology—a journey that could illuminate our path to resilience and identity. 🚀 #RiseFromTheShadows #IdentityJourney #GreekMythology
