He is married to Dr. Ora Rawls, and together they have four children, three daughters and one son (Angelique, Demetria, Teshanda, and Langston). His Mantra is summarized in Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
