Al Foxx's Testimony
Al shares how his rehabilitation journey required him to ACCEPT God’s plan for his life, so he could ADJUST to his new reality. In order to keep his spirits up during the grueling years of relearning to walk, talk, drive, and maintain relationships, Al learned to BEWARE of the evil one and BELIEVE God would meet all his needs. ACCEPTING and BELIEVING strengthens Al’s relationship with Jesus Christ, so he can CRUCIFY his selfish desires by CHOOSING Jesus as his Lord.
Sooner or later, everyone crashes. Anyone willing to turn their will and life over to God can apply the rehab lessons Al’s journey taught him about feeling real peace by accepting God’s plan. With deep conviction and faith, Al Foxx shares his testimony of how Jesus became his strength and hope, especially, but not only, when the world tries to beat him down. The first several years following his crash almost broke Al’s spirit. But because his family and friends never quit praying for him, because God loves to answer prayers and because He binds up the broken hearted, Al now sees opportunities instead of obstacles.
For young Christians (K-4th grade.)
Always Be Care-Full
Al’s experiences in rehab and with his Lord have given him 3 Cs for young Christians: Always Be Careful, Always Be Care-Full and Always be Cheerful. This message includes, but is not limited to:
Be Careful when you’re in shopping malls or other times you’re around lots of strangers, Be Care-full when you’re on the internet and someone you don’t know tries talking with you, And be careful after school when you’re crossing the street or walking across the crowded school parking lot to get on the bus.
Be Care-full (full of care) when interacting with family and friends. It’s important to remember to always say things that either help someone or makes them feel good about themselves. Remember the old cliché, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Remember that God made you unique and special. Your kindness is the greatest gift you can give to anyone.
Be Cheerful to everyone, especially if they feel sick or worried or tired. Be cheerful, even if you don’t feel cheerful. Being cheerful can help others and this can make you feel cheerful.
For pre-teen and teenage Christians (5th-12th grade)
The Christian ABCs
The lessons of Al’s rehab and with his Lord are summed up in these ABCs.
A—Appreciate the value of your God given gifts. Students identify with Al’s story and learn to appreciate the gifts and abilities they have instead of worrying about the ones they don’t have.
B—Believe you’ll get out what you put in. Through hearing Al’s story, students are inspired and motivated to do all they can to grow in physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
C—Caring about someone by helping them without expecting anything in return makes you feel better about yourself because you’re following Jesus’ command to love others as you love yourself.
Finding Your Song—A crash course in finding your faith
For YOUNG Christians, teenage through adult.
Al’s crash made him a prisoner in his own body. God is about freedom—freedom from anger, fear, self-pity, depression or unhealthy habits. If a relationship with Jesus sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36
This talk is Al’s elaboration of the two step process that set him free and that will set you free, too.
Accept God’s Plan for your life.
Believe he’ll meet all your needs.
Claim the peace God promises those who trust Him. Isaiah 26:3

Sing, Anyway—A Crash Course in Living Your Faith
For Mature Christians
Regardless of what age they are or how long they’ve been a Christian, the more confident Christians are, the louder they Sing their Song.
Sing, Anyway starts by describing how a motorcycle crash stole Al’s Song and locked him in a coffin of paralysis, anger and fear. Sing, Anyway then describes how singing the song God gave him freed Al from his coffin.
Accept God’s Plan for your life.
Believe he’ll meet all your needs.
Crucify your selfish desires.
“It sounds like Christianity is another word for transformation.”
It is, but don’t hear me wrong. God loves you just the way you are, but he loves you too much to leave you the way you are. In other words, a real relationship with God transforms us into what He wants us to be.
