What a Little Boy and Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Had in Common

It is not every day that a 9-year-old would rather read scripture than comic books, but in the early '90s, that is what happened when Inside Edition met America’s youngest preacher. Rev. Charles Edward Smith, Jr., had already dedicated his life to finding ways to serve God. Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch devoted his life to Buddhism after he converted in the early '90s and explained to us why and how the religion impacted his life.

The video says "Flashback, " in case y'all wondering why everyone fancied late 80s and early 90s fashion. This young preacher man is a grown man now.

I was almost 14 at this time and I wanted to be a nurse then and I'm a nurse practitioner now. This little guy wanted to be a preacher at 9 and he's doing a great job here, wondering if he's still a preacher and how he's doing now.

There was a statement from the band's publicist that read, "It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam 'MCA' Yauch … passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.”May 4, 2021

Rest in peace Adam Yauch

O, halljeuah It's such an blessing to see children priest, and sing to the word of Lord my grandchildren were always very religious but I kindly told them not all people believe in God and mostly different religions, and cultural experiences. 🙏✝️🌹

Man what an inspiration, great man that the Lord has big plans for. Keep at it man!

Strange putting these unrelated stories together. I was hoping for a connection.

May nothing or no one hinder this ministry in any way, shape, form or fashion
The enemy will use those closest and most trusted, (even his very own family if possible), to deter

Everybody needs just a little love, lots of hope and unshakable faith.

This kid is being exploited. There's no wisdom in him. What comes from him is of his parents doing. This makes a mockery of ministry.

Ohhhh praise 🙌 the Lord 🙌
O'halljeuah and this makes me smile and this is the best video I seen 🙏😇❤
