THE I.R.I.E. METHOD

Dr. Jomo Cousins was born in Jamaica where "everything's irie." In other words, "it's all good." Staying true to his roots, he crafted the I.R.I.E. Method for motivational speaking.

IMPACT

Every audience is different, and Dr. Jomo Cousins prepares for each one. The goal is always the same: leave people with something they can act on, not just feel good about.

RESONATE

Dr. Cousins speaks from experience, not a script. When you've played in the NFL, beaten cancer, and built a church from the ground up, people can tell you mean what you say.

INSPIRE

James 2:14-26 teaches us faith without works is dead. A message without action isn't inspiring — it's just words — it's inaction.

ENTERTAIN

There's nothing like good humor. But there's a method to the jokes. Laughter helps. After all, people won't forget what made them laugh.

How to Hear God

How to Hear God gives you an easy-to-follow blueprint on tuning into the voice of God. God has not changed and wants to communicate with us as He did with Adam in the garden of Eden. The direction our lives have taken is a direct result of the voices we have chosen to follow. The question is simply, If God had some information that could change your life for the better, would you want it? If God had answers to questions, you needed answered, would you want it? Well, guess what He does! The real question for all of us is have we taken the time to build the requisite relationship that fosters the answers to our questions.
