We All Need To Start Somewhere.

Sometimes It Happens When We Hit Rock Bottom.

Your life is made up of pivotal moments from the day you were born. And in these moments, you learn about who you are, who you are not, and are offered clues about who you are called to be. This calling exists within all of us, waiting for the moment you say “yes.”

The Pivotal Moment is the true story of a man who inspired millions around the world. From a viral video highlighting the transformation of abandoned lots after Hurricane Katrina, the man behind the mission was David Young, who dedicated his life to building urban farms and a life-saving ministry to save the teens in jail.

Fascinated with David’s story, Kristle Bautista embarked on a journey to uncover his biggest motivation. She learned he was previously the Chief of Police in Indiana, having dealt with crime at its highest level. To save the youth in the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in New Orleans, David turned in his badge and sold all his possessions to help this community who needed him most. His mission quickly went global with visitors flying in to see him from all over the world, and this book was written so you can meet him too.

After reading The Pivotal Moment, you will be encouraged to:

- Take unstoppable action towards causes that positively impact others.
- Be encouraged to bravely take the plunge towards fulfillment in their lives.
- Embrace each opportunity, both good and bad as learning opportunities for growth.

The Companion Workbook

“ALL OF US ARE SEEKING THE SAME THING. WE SHARE THE DESIRE TO FULFILL THE HIGHEST, TRUEST EXPRESSION OF OURSELVES AS HUMAN BEINGS.”

OPRAH WINFREY

I set out on a journey to document David Young’s transformation but in the process, became transformed along the way too. We can all help one another, even in the smallest of ways, even in the saddest and most impossible of situations. Hope exists. Redemption is real. And we are all worthy of it.

Bet on the person you can become. Believe in the grandest version of your life, no matter what the circumstances are. Like David, the right people will step forward if you believe and are willing to take action.

The questions and exercises have been formatted as a printable PDF workbook so you can print it as many times as you’d like. You can also find the Call to Action in the book itself, however this workbook will make it easier to take notes and answer questions after reading each chapter; keeping you organized and providing the space for notes.

Simply download and you are ready to go!

David Young

“David chooses to fight a new Goliath every day, and to each day, he says yes. He doesn’t have children—but is a father to many. He doesn’t have a spouse—but is a companion to those who have no one. He doesn’t have material wealth—but gives the riches of the earth to all who need it most.

If you look closely, you might find him puttering about his garden. If you knock on the door, he might even answer it. Ask him to show you his garden, and you’ll see the collage of vegetables and plants he tends to daily. Ask him to tell you a story about life, and you’ll be amazed. Except on Sundays, when the teens eagerly await their meeting with him, you know where he’ll be.”
