Chosen to Serve

By: Dr. Monique Rodgers

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the streets of Chicago to a life of purpose and service, Chosen to Serve follows the powerful journey of Tariq Johnson, a young black teenager who finds himself trapped in a cycle of crime and violence. After spending time in juvenile detention, Tariq returns home a changed man, determined to leave behind his dangerous street life and embrace a new path in faith. But walking away from the familiar isn’t easy, especially when the streets still call to him, and old friends try to pull him back.

Tariq's transformation is tested as he grapples with temptation, loyalty, and the true meaning of strength. With the help of his mother, the church community, and his newfound faith, Tariq embarks on a journey of self-discovery, proving that no one is too lost for redemption.

Chosen to Serve is an inspiring story about second chances, the power of faith, and choosing a life of service over the lure of the streets. It’s a testament to the power of God’s grace and a reminder that true strength lies not in power or revenge, but in forgiveness, love, and purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered if change is possible, Tariq’s story will remind you that with faith, you can be chosen to serve, no matter your past.
