I was humbled and honored to get a few minutes to talk with Min. Glen Wilson. Min. Wilson is a man of wisdom, intentionality, truth, and integrity. This is a conversation that I will always remember, in this candid conversation Min. Wilson discusses his parental upbringing, his battle with drug addiction, how he maintains recovery, his relationship with God, and his hope for the world.

Born in Philadelphia to Dr. Wade and Naomi Wilson who are both deceased. Min. Wilson was schooled primarily in Philadelphia schools and graduated high school in the suburbs. He graduated from Cheyney State College( now University) in 1970.

Min. Wilson began my relationship with Jesus at Emmanuel Institutional Baptist Church in 1993 under the tutelage of Pastor Daniels. He allowed me to teach in various settings in the church. In 2001, Min. Wilson and his wife Karen joined Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church under Rev Dr. Alyn E Waller. Min. Wilson answered the call into ministry in 2003.
