Official Bio

Hey there! I’m Dr. Cedric Shelby, and it’s an absolute pleasure to connect with you. My journey has been anything but predictable, but I’m grateful for the unwavering support and guidance from God.

I started off as a radio host for one of the top gospel stations in the country, followed by proudly serving in the United States Army. After my return from service, I worked as an electrical lineman before transitioning to teaching at HOA College. During this time, I discovered my true calling and became the senior pastor of the Christian Life family of churches.
I’ve had the privilege of delivering awe-inspiring speeches at various venues across the United States, including churches, Fortune 500 companies, and esteemed institutions such as California State University, Sacramento, and Northwest Missouri State University.

Throughout my journey, I have been recognized with multiple awards, including The Leaders & Legends Award from the California Black Chambers of Commerce and Health Net and recognition in the Who’s Who of Executives and Professionals.

And, of course, I couldn’t have accomplished any of it without the love and support of my amazing wife. We share a passion for motorcycling, exploring new places, and experiencing the thrill of the open road. The wind in our faces and the sense of adventure always make our rides unforgettable.
Recently, I’ve embarked on a new adventure with my newest show, CED-TALKS, where I continue uplifting, inspiring, and empowering others to find their purpose and unlock their full potential.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it, and I hope it touches your heart and soul. I encourage you to share it with your loved ones and help them experience the transformative power of finding joy and balance.
Now, my friend, it’s time to unleash the most amazing version of yourself. Embrace life’s adventures, seek joy in every moment, and always remember that you have the power within you to make a difference.
Go out there and shine your light!
God Bless You,
