Guest: Brent Taylor – Gospel Singer, Songwriter, Pastor, and Mentor

In this deeply moving episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Brent Taylor, a gospel artist and spiritual leader whose journey is a profound testimony of grace, resilience, and redemption.

Brent's story begins with a powerful act of love—his 13-year-old birth mother placing him for adoption. He was welcomed into the home of Wendy, a devoted Mennonite, and Glenn, a man of mixed Black and Native American heritage from a Pentecostal background. These God-ordained parents raised Brent in a Christian home filled with compassion, strength, and purpose—nurturing not only him but more than 160 foster children over 35 years.

Reflecting on his life, Brent shared,

Brent opens up about the challenges of growing up as a mixed-race child in a predominantly white community—facing racism, rejection, and misunderstanding in school. Misdiagnosed and mislabeled, he struggled academically, often being called "stupid" and placed in remedial classes. It wasn't until later he was diagnosed with ADD. But through it all, sports and his vibrant personality gave him an outlet—and his parents’ prayers kept him going.

Even while he wrestled with his identity and acceptance, God never let go.

Brent eventually found his refuge at the piano. There, in the quiet moments of songwriting, he found a voice to speak directly to God. Music became his language. Worship became his way of life.

Despite falling short, facing broken relationships, and battling inner demons, Brent never stopped being pursued by grace.

Tune in to this powerful episode to hear more of Brent Taylor’s inspiring journey of faith, healing, and calling—and how God’s grace has been the constant thread through it all.

• What should young women and men understand about reproductive health?
• What myths and misconceptions exist around women’s health, and how can we address them?
• How can parents and educators better support teens as they learn about their bodies and make important health choices?

Dr. Marshall will also help us shine a light on healthcare disparities in underserved communities, offering insight into what can be done to close those gaps.
