Not Proud But Not Ashamed: From A Young Street Hustler To Consecrated Bishop

Not Proud But Not Ashamed is a raw Christian testimony that traces one man's journey from poverty, street life, addiction, and near-death experiences to redemption, faith, and consecrated ministry.

Raised in North Tulsa in the shadow of generational trauma and racial hardship, Bishop Kenneth E. Lucas learned early how fast life can spiral. Hustling, drugs, broken family systems, and dangerous choices became normal. Survival came before faith. Until survival wasn't enough.

This faith-based autobiography does not sanitize the past. It confronts it. Through vivid storytelling, biblical reflection, and unfiltered honesty, the author shares how God intervened again and again when consequences should have ended everything
