Goodbye Insecurities

Are the Real Men leaving the church? Today's episode discusses why there is a significant gender gap in the pews. Men and women have an essential role in the church, but what happens when there are more women than men. How does this affect ministry and the community?

I am excited to have two young leaders in the body of Christ. Elder Wynton Dunham is the co-host of Men Building Men in Christ, and Elder Rasahn Staley, an assistant pastor at Refuge Church of Christ Far Rockway, Director of COOLJC Young Ministers Alliance, educator, and author. Tune in as we dive into this critical topic.

Which aspect of giving biblical correction is the most difficult for you? Why? In this episode, our guest Melanie Saward shares insight into the difference between correction and being judgemental.  Matthew 7:1, "Do not judge so that you will not be judged." This is one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible.  How many times have you heard "Don't judge me" or "Christians are so judgemental"?  Frances and Melanie discuss how believers can accept correction and also give feedback.

Have you been enjoying the Covenant Series?  Listen in to the Series Finale. 

Living a holy life for Jesus is not always easy, but knowing the promises of God can help us in our daily lives, to be able to navigate life’s decisions, and to conquer fear, temptation, and danger.

This episode concludes the six-part series -Covenant.  I had an opportunity to sit down with my pastor, Bishop Charles E. Wright Sr. of Greater Refuge Temple NYC, and we discussed how the New Covenant relates to the Promises of God and what does it mean to be a Christian. In this modern-day, we find new ways of thinking, but the Word of God remains the same. 

For some who are not familiar with some of God’s promises. I have listed them below. 

·       his help and guidance,

·       his faithfulness,

·       our salvation,

·       wisdom,

·       peace, joy, and love,

·       riches in heaven,

·       adoption into his family,

·       strength and power,

·       his provision,

·       eternal life,

·       deliverance (from enemies, from danger, from temptation, addiction),

·       healing,

·       and renewal.

Love Your Neighbor As Yourself is the second great commandment of Jesus. It immediately follows His commandment of loving God with all your heart, mind, and soul. As we continue with the Covenant Series, our special guest Elder W. L. Dunham and Tasha Lallemand discuss with me how to Love Your Neighbor, especially during some hard times, when people have different belief systems or when someones hurt you.  Tune in as we touch on these topics.

Sometimes it may be difficult... In our walk with Christ, we strive to live a life pleasing to Him. This conversation digs deep into how we can open ourselves to loving others as well as ourselves.

John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments. 

When we love someone, we genuinely want to make them happy, not hurt them, and care for their best interest. That is the same way when you are in a relationship with God.  My late Pastor, Bishop William Lee Bonner, would always have us read Deuteronomy 28 versus 1-14. His point was to show us the importance of obedience to God and His word.  He made sure to let us know that we would have to go through stages to enjoy the blessings of God.  If we put God first, we would see the fruit of the relationship. 

In this episode, I sit down and talk to my client Brandice Daniel, Founder of Harlem’s Fashion Row, about the importance of obeying God and how He has blessed her and her business.  Listen to her testimony on how obedience leads her to start a non-profit that received a million-dollar donation. You will be amazed!!
