In this spoken monologue, the speaker answers the prompt “If you could choose three people to have dinner with, who would you choose and why?” He selects Jesus, Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as his three guests. For Jesus, he cites the desire for direct spiritual wisdom and to hear the source of his beliefs. For Bishop T.D. Jakes, he values the mentor’s habit of asking hard, values‑anchoring questions that push personal growth. For Dr. King, he admires the courage, vision, and graceful conviction that led a historic movement, and wants to learn how Dr. King maintained faith amid adversity. The speaker concludes by inviting the audience to consider their own dinner guests.

If you could choose 3 people to have dinner with, who would you choose and why? You know, if I could sit down with 3 people for dinner, it'd be a mix of spiritual wisdom, leadership brilliance, and just sheer inspiration. First, I'd choose Jesus. I mean, come on, who wouldn't? To sit face to face with the one who's the source of everything I believe and teach, to ask him questions, to hear his voice directly. Well, there's nothing that could top that. Second, I'd pick Bishop T.D. Jakes. He's been a mentor and a voice in my life, and every time I've had the chance to sit with him, he's asked me the hardest questions that anchor me to my values and push me to grow. I'd love more of that wisdom. And third, I choose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His courage, his vision, and his ability to lead a movement with such grace and conviction— it's something I deeply admire. I want to hear how he kept his faith and focus in the face of so much adversity. What about you? Who would you invite to your table?
