Matthew 22:37 requires us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind. But everything starts with the mind. It is the mind that tells the rest of the body how to function and if we are to truly love the Lord with all of our heart and soul, it must start with the mind. That means we must intentionally feed our minds with those things that will cause us to behave in ways that are pleasing to the Lord so that our love of the Lord will be evident. In Philippians 4:8. Paul admonishes us to think on whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy. To think is a verb; it is an intentional action. When we intentionally think on positive things, our heart, soul and action will follow suit. It is important that we in the Christian community take the steps necessary to de-stigmatize mental health needs. God was gracious enough to supply us with people who are trained in assisting individuals who need help with developing strategies to heal from traumas in their lives. This in no way undermines the need to pray but we can also pray for the Lord to lead us to the right therapist for us. Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N.

On today's episode, we're talking about Autism, a condition that would be viewed as a mental challenge. Autism is a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior. Today, I am speaking with Mr. Maurice Snell who is living his best life with autism. Maurice Snell is an individual living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. His story began at Easter Seals as a youth when he was a client of what was then the Easter Seals Therapeutic Day School for individuals with autism. After eight years at Easter Seals, Maurice transitioned to Benito Juarez Community Academy High School. There, he was involved in many activities such as the Marine Corps Junior ROTC, Juarez Eagles Concert and Marching Band. He graduated in 2002 as a member of the National Honor Society ranked 13th of his senior class and then attended Saint Xavier University. During his time at Saint Xavier, he participated in various organizations such as the Student Success Program and their Concert Band. He graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies. Maurice worked at Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago until this year, in which he's currently employed at De La Salle Institute in Chicago as the Development Coordinator. Aside from his busy work schedule, Maurice continues to serve as an ambassador and inspirational story to many families impacted by autism and other special needs.

I thought Mother's Day would be fitting to announce the birth of my new book! I'm super excited about it and hope you will be excited with me. There are many people in the Christian and other faith communities who battle depression alone. Those of us who are loved ones of people who battle depression are also deeply impacted. Take a walk with me through my journey as the spouse of a pastor who is conquering depression. It's high time to stop the stigma and make the scream within a scream without- without condemnation, without fear, without ridicule, without embarrassment. I present to you, The Scream Within: Mental Health and Clergy Marriages, Journey of a Pastor's Spouse, now available for presale. www.benitaweathers.com www.gloriousworkspublishing.com #mindthemental #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #clergymentalhealthmatters #clergy #clergyspouse #faith --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/benita-weathers/message

So far, I have spoken with people who faced physical challenges from birth. But what about people who have become disabled due to an accident? What about those for whom, in an instant, their life was forever changed? There are times when life throws a curve ball and you must figure out how you can still hit the ball to help you to at least get to first base. Today, I am speaking with Miss Grace Muguwe who became visually challenged after being in a bus accident several years ago in her home country of Zimbabwe on the continent of Africa. Grace very candidly talks about her experiences and living her faith in the wake of a sudden tragedy and she encourages us to have conversations with people who are physically challenged and really hear them and see them.

One of the things I love most about our God is that He made us all different on purpose. And in our uniqueness, we display the splendor of God. Psalm 139:13-16 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Today, I am speaking with Miss Brandi Imani who knows full well that our differences are a blessing from God. She encourages us to all to be our own version of lit!

There are many among us who are visually impaired in some way- some completely blind, others who can see shadows, etc. but physical blindness doesn't discount one's abilities to see in other ways and accomplish great things. In Isaiah 42:16, the Isaiah prophesies about the coming messiah as being one who “will lead the blind by ways they have not known along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the thigs I do; I will not forsake them.” Rev. Pamela Shaw has been blind since birth, but her disability has not kept her from utilizing her abilities to advocate for herself and others and holding many prominent positions. She has more than 30 years of professional social work experience contributing to the development of policy and practice in the fields of homelessness, community mental health, deinstitutionalization, child welfare, family services and disability rights. Prior to her current position, Pamela was appointed by Governor Edward Rendell to serve as Director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services. She holds professional memberships in the American Association of Christian Counselors, the National Biblical Counseling Association and the National Association of Social Workers, and is a member of the Academy that Certifies Social Workers and is a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. A skilled communicator, Rev. Shaw is frequently an invitational speaker at retreats, conferences and other special events and regularly presents many workshops and seminars around the country.

We all face a myriad of challenges in life. The important thing to do is to be intentional to overcome those challenges rather than allowing the challenges to overcome us. Romans 8:37 tells us that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loves us. It goes on to say that there is absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Today I want to welcome Miss Kimberly Waters. Miss Waters is a unique free-lance makeup-artist, fashionista and CP (cerebral palsy) advocate. Kimberly has worked in beauty retail in addition to the make-up and fashion industry for over 7 years, as she has an immense passion for it, and truly loves her craft. Kimberly has also trained under professional make-up artist, Maeion Bryant Beauty & Co. “The Mobile Beauty Connection,” which gave her the confidence and poise to pursue a career as a freelance make-up artist. As a “trooper,” Kimberly is known for her ability to persevere as she was born prematurely with CP. She turned her challenges with CP into blessings, as she never gave in and never gave up. Kimberly now lives victoriously after overcoming many obstacles that were deemed unattainable including walking, talking, graduating, becoming independent, cooking, driving, and many more achievements to come. Kimberly is also blessed to have parents (Penny, Kim), identical twin sister (Kayla), and loving grandparents who have been extremely supportive while always believing in her dreams and desires. It is Kimberly's deepest prayer that her testimony will give people who have CP unwavering hope. She loves inspiring others with an optimistic approach to the hurdles that she has faced, ultimately encouraging others to have faith in God while finding creative ways to flourish in life.

Have you ever felt like you had a desire and the ability to do something that you were never afforded the opportunity to? Many people with “different abilities” never get the opportunity to share them because of assumptions made about what they can and can't do. As a society, we are missing out on so many gifts and treasures because of our lack of empathy and willingness to be patient with those who may need to do things differently than many of us. Whether we are defined as physically challenged or people with a disability, we have gifts to share that can benefit humanity. Today I want to welcome Miss Emily Rowe and Mr. Ryan Ward. Miss Rowe is a 2020 graduate of Kennedy Krieger High School who has always been interested in Hospitality. Emily is now pursuing her interest in the Food and Beverage Management program at Montgomery College. As an ex-preemie and a twin, Emily knows the challenges faced by those with Cerebral Palsy and multiple disabilities.

I'm sure that many of us have had experiences where we have either been hurt by someone else's assumptions about us or we have made assumptions about others rather than having a conversation. Often, when people make assumptions about others, it can be hurtful to the one the assumption is made about. But I want to encourage someone who is listening to don't ever allow others' assumptions about you to define you! You are defined by what God says about you- you are made in God's image; you are fearfully and wonderfully made (even if you have a physical challenge); you have everything you need because you belong to the creator and owner of the universe and everything in it!

Very often, as a society and even those of us who call ourselves followers of Jesus the Christ, think low of people who are incarcerated. Not only are they out of sight and thus out of mind, but many of us judge them in such a way that we justify them being out of mind. But as the people of God, we are charged to care about everyone, including those who are incarcerated, regardless of the crime. In this episode, I speak with Rev. Dr. Kimberlee Johnson about her work around prison education and she educates us about many challenges and issues within the prison system, as well as ways that the church can get involved and assist beyond doing worship services and Bible studies in prisons. There's much more that the people of God can do to assist in this great work! Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N.

It is important for use to train up the next generation to take up the mantle and be confident in doing so. Their voices need to be heard, so I thought it was very important to invite young voices to the table and be, not only a part of the conversation, but a part of the action and solutions to our challenges.

Our focus for this episode is the strength that there is in diversity and having healing conversations in a racially diverse congregation with Author, radio show host, singer, songwriter and producer, Mrs. Karla Nivens. Ms. Nivens encourages us to intentionally get to know our neighbors, especially those who are from a different racial/ethnic/socio-economic group than us and have difficult, but very important conversations that will facilitate empathy and concern for one another.

Matthew 5:16 tells us to let our lights so shine before humans that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Notice that the light does not shine on us, rather it emanates from us. Today's episode is an interview with Min. Robin Shine-Maddox, Founder and President of Celebrating Sisterhood, Inc. She encourages us to come out of our comfort zones and shine with the light of Jesus from the pulpit to the pew to the public square and reminds us that we are not alone. She also challenges us to put our feet to our faith! Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N.

The people of God cannot underestimate the power of presence, prayer and reconciliation. When we commune with the Holy Spirit daily, we desire to be whole with members of our communities, even those who have hurt us, so that our communities can be healed. When our communities are healed, there's less anger, less crime, less incarceration, and more empathy, understanding and love. Today's episode is an interview with the Rev. Dr. Donna Jones, pastor of Cookman Beloved Community Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA. and Executive Director of the Metropolitan Christian Council of Philadelphia. Dr. Jones discusses the need for communities, especially in times like these, to come together and seek God together, showing God's presence in the community through God's people to bring healing. She educates us about the origins of the concept of Restorative Justice and Restorative Cities and tells us how we can all get involved. Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N.

This season we will focus on Living the Word through Social Action and Social Justice. Rather than answering the question, who will pick up the social justice mantle, we are answering the question, “what part of the mantle will I pick up?!” Today's episode is an interview with the Rev. Dr. Mark Kelly Tyler, pastor of the historic Mother Bethel AME Church in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Tyler provides us with some history lessons that will help us to better understand the underpinnings of the events of the day. He asks us to ponder a very poignant question, “Will we stay and fight or will we only come back to pick up the spoils when the battle is over?” He challenges us to make the decision to get in the fight!

We discuss why and how members of the Christian faith community should, in the words of the late great Congressman John Lewis, "Get in good trouble. Necessary trouble."

The focus of this episode is spending intentional time with God. Time is a precious commodity. We can tell what's important to us by examining where we spend the majority of our quality time. If you were to draw a pie chart of your typical 24-hr span of time, what slice of the pie would be the biggest? Is it sleep, work, chores, time with family/friends/associates? How large is the slice of pie that represents time spent with God? Regular, consistent and intentional time with God is fundamental to Living the Word beyond Sunday Morning.
