Faith and Fire with Lady J

17/04/2024

No marriage is perfect, but these two sure seem to have it figured out. Tracy and Kevin break down what it takes to find your groove in a healthy marriage. They share their experiences and talk about the journey to finding their orbit in their relationship.

Join me as these two preacher’s kids share stories of how they learned themselves and each other throughout their relationship. From the early years in college, through kids and more.

Through it all, they teach us that when you can break through the facade of what a marriage “should be” and learn how to be yourself, you can have a healthy and authentic relationship.

Do you know why your church isn’t attracting more young adults?

This episode is my love letter to churches that are struggling to attract younger members. As a Christian millennial in the AME church, I've struggled feed my fire in a traditional religion with dwindling numbers of young adults.

Charolette and I have a heart to heart about what we are looking for in a church and some of our church icks.

While we can’t speak for everyone, our conversation sheds light on a number of things that you’re doing (or not doing) that may be keeping you from attracting young adults.

Share this episode with someone who wants to grow their church.

Is there a “right” way to celebrate Christmas?

It’s that time of year where joy, peace and love abound! I sit down with Dr. Joy and Shari to talk about how we celebrate Christmas and how the meaning of the holiday varies across the faith community.

We ask ourselves the question - if Jesus is the reason for the season, is it okay to celebrate Christmas for other reasons?

Join us as we explore this topic and relish in the joy of the season. The episode is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or anywhere else that you listen to podcasts.

I hate to break it to you but beating someone over the head with your opinions doesn’t change hearts and minds.

If you’re ready to mind your own faith, join me on the journey. It’s a new day where we place love and understanding over judgement and correction. We let our lights shine so that others can be inspired, not shamed.

Faith and Fire is all about exploring our faiths in a safe and open space where we learn more about ourselves and don’t ‘should’ on someone else’s journey.

Stay curious, my friends. Your faith is your own.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your faith and your finances are way more intertwined than you may think.

That’s what I learned when I sat down with an accountant and a self-proclaimed Jesus freak to talk about how the two worlds intersect.

From tithing to building wealth in our businesses, we talk about how faith shows up in both our personal and business finances.
