Sadly, domestic abuse still continues today. Many young women (and men) are living this destructive lifestyle every day, with seemingly no help available. Lady Jo and her panel of women, discuss the problems as well as identifying when abuse is present. Our prayer is that viewers will gain a better understanding as well as knowledge on how to live a life free of violence.

Nothing is as rich as history, and Bishop Roy Dixon and Pastor Charles Glenn take the audience down the road to share the story of the Church of God in Christ's start under the leadership of Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, guided by the Holy Spirit. COGIC was established at a time when Black people did not have much, but God was at work and used Bishop Mason to start a work that has grown to over several million strong and is throughout the world. Bishop Dixon and Dr. Glenn also give insight into what the new norm of worship is all about and what we, as the Body of Christ, should do about it. Take a listen s Lady Jo guides her show through scenarios to help her listeners gain more knowledge and a greater understanding of the Church today.

A panel of seven individuals, Holly Taylor, Dean Jones, Anthony Smith, Willie 'Uncle Willie' Graves, Javer Dillard, and Kenneth Smith. These men and young woman shared their deep wisdom, knowledge and concerns they have for today's youth who are unlearned in the areas of keeping out of the system. They shared the need for young people to have the tools necessary for a healthy, productive life as well as understanding that ex-cons have voting rights that may differ in states. They acknowledged that after listening to one another's story, that they had more in common, including a desire to help their children and loved ones live a great life. This is a powerful video! Be prepared to laugh and even cry a little bit as you listen to how God made a difference in each of their lives. Thank you to all the panelists. You are the best! Lady Jo.
