My Journey to the Altar of Stability: From Wandering to the Promised Land

The Golden Cage of the System

For years, I have been praying and fighting to break free from the strict bo***ge of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) system. Receiving $894.60 a month is like living in a continuous cycle of survival, strictly paycheck to paycheck. It is an income too low to truly live on. In both my past and present, after paying rent, utilities, and basic living expenses, there is never enough left.

Because of this financial strain, I have faced severe difficulties paying for essential life insurance plans, paying off the student loans from my undergraduate education, and simply buying the everyday things I need. I am tired of being dependent on a system. My heart's desire is to earn an honest job income, receive compensation weekly or biweekly, and proudly pay my taxes like other Americans with a W2 or 1099 during tax season.

The Years of Wandering (2015–2025)

This financial pressure explains why I have moved so frequently since 2015. I have been running from city to city, trying to find opportunities to better myself, utilize my professional experience, and unleash my spiritual gifts—only to repeatedly run into walls of poverty and financial leakage.

Eastern Iowa: I started here, finding a good apartment where things were nearby and accessible. I was getting by fine, but a friend talked me into leaving.
Detroit (2017–Present): I went back and forth to Detroit multiple times looking for economic doors to open. However, I could never secure permanent housing. I constantly ended up in shared rooming houses with plumbing and interior issues, living with rude, noisy, and disrespectful tenants dealing with severe anger and mental health problems.
Philadelphia & Cleveland (2017/2019): In Cleveland, I witnessed heavy poverty and felt I couldn't thrive. In North Philadelphia, I landed in a toxic house with angry tenants, forcing me to flee to West Philadelphia. Though I did ministry there, it wasn't enough to prosper me.
Louisville (2020): I hoped to settle here, but poor housing conditions and bad vibes from the start shut the door.
Atlanta & Jonesboro (2020–2021): I rushed my decision to move to Atlanta twice. I stayed at the Atlanta Mission homeless shelter for three months before moving to a rooming house in Jonesboro, GA, which proved to be an atmosphere too noisy and disrespectful for me to find peace.
New York City & Baltimore: New York brought immense hardship; the public transportation was confusing, and I ended up staying at the Delta Manor Homeless Shelter in the Bronx for two months. In Baltimore, I fell into the hands of slumlords who only cared about money and left tenants in deplorable conditions
Memphis: I moved to Memphis to plant roots, but encountered a serious daily crime issue, toxic environments, and a culture where finding friendly, open people was incredibly difficult.

Across Kentucky, New York, Maryland, North Carolina, and Georgia, I faced the harsh reality of modern housing: landlords want you to earn three times the rent, making permanent housing impossible on an SSI budget.

My Divine Shift to Nashville

I have experienced the valley, serving in the Spiritual Recovery Program at the Star of Hope Mission in Houston (2023), and now God has brought me to Nashville. I found a truly loyal, grounded church home today, and I am jumping straight into their mid-week Bible study later this week.

I am through with wandering. I need stability to establish my roots here in Nashville. I am ready to step out of the system and market the professional and spiritual talents God gave me. I am actively promoting my services as a:

Wedding Officiant
Memorial and Funeral Services Director
Paid Public Speaker hosting Bible Classes and Legacy Blueprint Seminars for a $20 admission

The Appeal for a Pastoral Housing Allowance

To successfully bridge the gap between SSI and full financial independence, I need a sustainable foundation. Most apartments require verified income, which is why I am seeking a secure Pastoral Housing Allowance of $3,500/month.

I have done the work behind the scenes: based on church ethics and the bylaws committee, I have received official approval from committee members to accept love offerings and a pastoral housing allowance from the community.

I am praying for God to connect me with an upper-middle-class sponsor, a famous individual, or a church leadership network willing to invest in my ministry and help me transition into a life of true self-sufficiency. I do not want the ungodly to prosper me, nor will I participate in the fraudulent pyramid schemes and fee-based money traps being promoted on social media. I am looking for righteous, clean prosperity

If the Lord leads you to plant a seed into a cheerful giver who spends his time serving the community and feeding the needy and homeless, you can give directly via Cash App: $BishopNBHobson.
Tomorrow is not promised to us. I thank God for another chance on earth, I thank Him for keeping me strong in my biblical convictions against sin and idolatry, and I am ready for His return.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

I will fight for tougher rules and regulations for homeless shelters in recent days. I will fight for tougher rules on their current policies. People think they are going to sit in homeless shelters for months and not work. All homeless people in homeless shelters do is continue to sit and not do nothing for themselves while they hate serious homeless people that are working to get out of those places. Homeless people at homeless shelters are not spiritual and only praise God in chapel services for perfection. Being a Christian and disciple is not about protection. It is about making sacrifices. People at homeless shelters are ignorant, disrespectful, rude and inconsiderate. They do nothing trying to solve their own personal problems. They rather have the world solve their problems with sin and temptation.

Homeless men and women at homeless shelters are not trying to do nothing to solve their mental health and anger problems. It is the reason why some homeless people say their life is going in circles. They make their life go in circles because they do not give a damn.

My Political Journey: From the South Side of Chicago to a Shift in Faith and Philosophy

Growing up in a family of Democrats on the South Side of Chicago, my early political path seemed naturally set. I registered to vote for the very first time at age 18, taking advantage of a school promotion aimed at getting graduating seniors registered. Following my family's roots, I signed up as a Democrat. Living in Illinois’s 1st Congressional District, my representative in Congress was always Bobby Rush.

Early Votes and the Obama Campaign (2004–2008)

My first time stepping into a voting booth was during the 2004 primary elections. I cast my ballot for John Kerry at my designated polling place, which happened to be my old elementary school, Esmond Elementary. However, by the time the general election arrived that November, I found myself split and undecided, ultimately choosing to stay home. Two years later, during the 2006 midterms, I returned to the polls and voted for a straight Democratic ticket.

When Barack Obama announced his presidential candidacy on the steps of the Old State Capitol in March 2007, I was deeply inspired. I became highly motivated and served as a committed volunteer for his campaign throughout 2007 and 2008. When November 2008 arrived, my vote reflected a close evaluation: I supported the Obama-Biden ticket at 42% over McCain-Palin at 38%.

A Shift in Ideology (2009–2014)

After President Obama took office, I began to perceive him and the broader Democratic Party as too liberal. Between 2009 and 2010, I started moving away from the party toward the political center. This shift led me to support former Senator Rick Sa****um in the 2012 Republican primary, a support I maintained right up to the Republican National Convention. Once Mitt Romney secured the nomination in mid-June 2012, my perspective shifted again; for the general election, I decided to back the Obama-Biden ticket at 51% compared to Romney-Ryan at 47%. However, seeking balance, I supported a Republican-controlled Congress that year and continued to vote Republican for Congress in the 2014 midterms. I supported and voted Republicans for congress in 2010 to present.

Anti-Establishment and Shifting Perspectives (2016–2024)

By 2016, I was living in Iowa and looking for anti-establishment candidates who promised real change. I wanted to participate in the political process but learned that independent voters were excluded from the caucuses. To make my voice heard, I registered so I could caucus for Bernie Sanders.

After Sanders lost the primary, I knew I could not support Hillary Clinton due to concerns over corruption associated with the Clintons. By November, the choice between her and Donald Trump was incredibly close for me. My final vote in the 2016 general election reflected a narrow split: 41% for Trump-Pence and 40% for Clinton-Kaine. In 2016, I was undecided between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in the Republican primary. At some point, I supported the two candidates running on the same Presidential ticket.

Four years later, in the 2020 election, my final ballot breakdown shifted slightly, supporting the Biden-Harris ticket at 51% over Trump-Pence at 48%. When the 2024 election arrived, I did not have the opportunity to cast a ballot, as I was frequently on the road dedicated to ministry work for my congregation.

Core Beliefs: Life, Economy, and Government

Alongside my voting record, my fundamental values underwent a profound transformation over the years:

Sanctity of Life: While I was once pro-choice, my convictions evolved, and I firmly embraced a pro-life stance.
Opposition to LGBTQ Lifestyle: Going back to 2010, and increasingly in recent days, I have maintained a strong opposition to the LGBTQ community, viewing their lifestyle as sinful and contrary to my faith.
Economic Principles: I used to support the economic and tax policies of the Democratic Party. However, after studying the effects of taxation, I came to realize that higher taxes kill and slow down economic growth. I learned that lower taxes and deregulation are far better for the economy, as they give employers the financial freedom to create more jobs directly within our communities.
Role of Government: Today, I firmly believe in a smaller, strictly limited government that allows individuals and local communities to thrive.

Walking in Faith: My Daily Journey with Galatians and the Spirit

My faith is the anchor of my life, and the passages I hold closest to my heart are Galatians and the Fruit of the Spirit. They serve as my daily blueprint, and I make a conscious effort to live my life by the virtues taught within those pages. However, walking out this faith in the modern world requires careful discernment.
While I strive to embody these spiritual fruits, experience has taught me to be discerning. When I was in Houston, a friend gave me some valuable advice: don't let people take advantage of your kindness. Because of that, I am careful and cautious with how I extend myself to others. I am also highly cautious with how I use the word "love." We live in a society today that includes the LGBTQ community, which I am strongly opposed to. The Bible commands us to love one another, and I absolutely obey that Scripture—but I do so by strictly offering love as a brother and/or sister in Christ.
Living by the Spirit is an ongoing process of self-reflection. I recognize that I still have areas where I need to grow, and I am constantly working to be better when it comes to practicing self-control. Despite the challenges of this world and my own areas for improvement, my foundation remains unshaken. I hold onto my faith deeply, and I still truly believe that my name is written in the Book of Life.

Looking Back: My High School Yearbook and the Women Who Signed It

If you look through my old yearbooks from my days at Morgan Park High School in Chicago, you’ll notice something pretty specific right away: every single signature and message belongs to a female. Not a single male signed my yearbook during all four years there, even though the school handed out yearbooks to all students every year. I wouldn’t say I was the "popular guy" who everyone knew, but I always had a great rapport with the girls. I naturally found myself talking to females a lot more than I ever did with the guys. And while I wasn't in the popular inner circle, the compliments I received from them were always incredibly positive.

Morgan Park High School had coed PE classes, which opened the door for a lot of that interaction. I distinctly remember girls making comments about my physique and my legs during gym class. There was also one specific girl who used to find me in the hallways between classes. Whenever she saw me, she would reach out and rub my chest. To be completely honest, it used to make me h***y, but it also did wonders for my confidence and made me feel genuinely good about myself. She used to make my dick hard during school everyday when she rubbed on the chest in school. Girls used to comment on my nice clothes I wore in high school with my name brand jeans and shirts. Some girls in school used to hold me by the arm while I was around them and talking to them. I got valentines day cards from some females in school with some saying that I need to smile more because I did not smile a lot all through school.

Those experiences left a lasting impression on how I perceive the world around me today. Even now, whenever I’m out in public spaces or riding public transportation, if a fatigued-looking woman happens to sit next to me, it brings back that same sense of validation. It instantly makes me feel good about myself, and I can't help but smile.

Personal Testimony: Standing Firm in My Biblical Convictions

Throughout my years of homelessness and shelter living since 2015, I have encountered many different people from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles. These experiences challenged me to remain faithful to my personal convictions and calling as a Christian minister and ordained Bishop.

On several occasions, individuals expressed romantic or personal interest in me that was inconsistent with my biblical beliefs regarding marriage, sexuality, and Christian living. While I respected every person's dignity and worth as someone created by God, I remained committed to the convictions that have guided my faith and ministry for many years.

Rather than responding with hostility, arguments, or disrespect, I chose to conduct myself in a professional and Christ-like manner. I respectfully declined any advances and continued focusing on my spiritual growth, education, ministry responsibilities, and long-term goals for stability and permanent housing.

These experiences reinforced the importance of standing firm in one's beliefs while still treating others with kindness, respect, and human dignity. As a minister of the Gospel, I believe Christians are called to speak truth according to their convictions while also demonstrating love, self-control, and integrity in their interactions with others.

My time in shelters strengthened my commitment to biblical discipleship, personal accountability, and faithful Christian living. It reminded me that regardless of the environment or circumstances, I must remain focused on God's purpose for my life and the calling He has placed upon me as a servant leader and ordained Bishop.

Personal Testimony: Perseverance Through Homelessness

Since 2015, I have experienced periods of homelessness and have stayed in shelters in several cities across the United States. Throughout those years, I learned that homelessness affects people for many different reasons, including financial hardship, health challenges, family breakdowns, addiction, and unexpected life circumstances.

While living in shelters, I often remained focused on rebuilding my life through education, ministry, volunteer service, leadership development, and long-term housing goals. At times, I encountered individuals who questioned my determination or were critical of my efforts to move forward. Those experiences taught me the importance of staying focused on my own goals rather than becoming distracted by negativity.

I have always viewed homeless shelters as temporary places of refuge designed to help people regain stability and transition toward permanent housing. My personal goal has never been to remain dependent on shelter services but to use available resources as a stepping stone toward greater self-sufficiency and independence.

Growing up, I was taught the values of hard work, personal responsibility, faith, and perseverance. Those values continued to guide me during some of the most difficult seasons of my life. Despite setbacks, I remained committed to continuing my education, serving in ministry, developing leadership skills, and helping others facing similar challenges in Michigan, Mississippi and Texas.

My educational background in Chicago, combined with my faith and commitment to service, gave me the determination to keep moving forward. Rather than allowing homelessness to define me, I chose to view it as a chapter in my journey—one that strengthened my character, deepened my compassion for others, and reinforced my commitment to helping individuals and families achieve stability, purpose, and hope in Michigan, Mississippi and Texas.

Today, my experiences have equipped me to speak with authenticity about homelessness, economic mobility, personal responsibility, faith-based recovery, workforce development, and community transformation. My story is not simply about surviving hardship; it is about overcoming obstacles, maintaining hope, and continuing to pursue God's purpose for my life.
