There were gems dropped that add value to single men and those who are married. I love how Dr. Bryant shared that he is operating in grace but that favor trumps grace. And if he was married, that favor would propel him to even greater heights! #TeamMarriage

NO and I mean NO men out here are keeping it THIS REAL. I don't care what Dr Jamal's were in his past he clearly has transformed and has been made new again.

    When Pastor said the greatest gateway to sin is boredom, I felt that. As a woman, I've always felt that if my man isnt challenging me, holding me accountable for my shortcomings or having transparent and honest communication with me - i instantly become bored. I have to remember most people, (not even just men) have a hard time with that level of openness. Keeping myself busy by focusing on my own personal goals and aspirations have helped me combat boredom but if I'm being honest, it can be a challenge. In most cases, one person is always further along in their personal development. It takes a different type of love to have the patience and the understanding to completed this. For me, this is where having a solid foundation as friends come into play. When you have that solid foundation to your relationship, it becomes easier to allow your partner to grow without the boredom kicking in. Great conversation family ❤️

    @@tchoopee5143 This is such a great question!! To answer this, I believe that it is not a matter of who is further along at that point, but recognizing that growth is continuous and that in a union each individual must take responsibility for their own actions and ask themselves the hard questions such as "Why am I bored? What's the trigger within myself that's keeping me bored? How can I communicate this with my partner and work on this so that we both can grow?" If the partnership is worth the investment, we must communicate and be patient throughout the growing process. It's a never ending one, but growing and shifting through each transformation within our relationships is what makes the connection worthy and valuable. Thank you so much for challenging this perspective ❤️✨

    Pastor Jamal is so correct. These brothers don't want to put the work in for relationships. They want something for nothing. Then when us women won't go for it, they get upset and move on to someone else. It's only when they are old and sick on their deathbed is when they come around. By that time it's too late.

    So much wisdom in today's episode. The end really got to me; this is what has always been necessary for me personally to be in a relationship. Getting close means that our insecurities and dark side will always come to light. Being in a relationship means being committed first, to honesty with one's own inner life (so as to be able to open up to the other) and second, being committed to understanding the other' in a deep and meaningful way, including their woundedness.

    As a SINGLE, DIVORCED WOMAN, this episode was very enlightening for me! Now I have the tools to understand what is really happening with our black men these days. I must the admit, the dating pool is a little tainted but this could be from a lack of knowledge and information within our black community. Unhealed traumas/hurts and the inability to be accountable within our black community were a few things that were eye opening for me. Pastor Bryant really broke it down! I have encountered so many things while dating that has made to want to be complacent with my singleness. Not being willing to compromise my values and sugarcoat with my partner were issues in my past relationships. Now I know that when a man is truly committed, he will do the work…everything else is an excuse and the inability to be accountable for himself. I throughly enjoyed this conversation!

    But, do you share that same love when a Man holds women accountable as well? See men don’t have issues w/ people holding us accountable because we use to it. However, in the black community, a current issue is nobody can hold Bw accountable.

    Accountability is not a black woman issue it’s a human issue. What we are witnessing in this world today is BOTH men and woman that have trouble being held accountable. But this goes back to the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve both fell but neither took accountability. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. But just because some or even many have trouble being held accountable doesn’t mean all. I’m a black woman and my pet peeve is people not taking accountability for their actions. I hold myself to the standard that was written out in the Bible by God and and lived out through Jesus Christ my Lord. May I ask how can you assume by her statement that this lady doesn’t have the same energy when women are being called to task? I know a lot of us have been hurt but when are we going to stop trying to accuse one another but instead try to understand one another? It’s sad to see the battle of the sexes because it’s nothing but a tactic from the enemy to keep us divided because he knows the power that we possess when come together. Like the scripture says a house divided can’t not stand.

    @@HisGraceIsSufficient555 accountability isn’t an issue w/ men because we get held accountable regardless if we like it or not. If bm commit a crime, we go to jail. If bm don’t take care of kids we get put on child support. If bm don’t work, we end up homeless. Women in 2023, aren’t held accountable because either they get bailed out of their situation or someone makes an excuse for their actions. So, from my examples please explain to me how men & women are equally held accountable? If a relationship ends, the man gets blamed for the demise!

He gave nuggets to others and sound advice. The other guest although he stated he didnt blame his ex-wife, he really did but it was hidden because he was pandering for the next. Jamal Bryant was sound and just talked from experience and gave wisdom on how to proceed

    I've known of Dr. Jamal Bryant since his days in Baltimore. My ex husband and I used to attend his church regularly. We were crushed to the BONE when we heard they were getting divorced and he was a serial cheater. He talks a really really really good game, but as the saying goes, " action speaks louder than words. I want soooooo desperately to believe in him and his ministry, but only time and his next woman will tell if he's truly a reformed cheater ( or not).

    Thanks for the honesty. The interview proved what women have finally figured out. Most Black single men not serious about marriage and family. Most Black men don’t understand legacy and generational wealth and strong family values and keeping their wives, children and money strong. This is why many black women are so frustrated and heartbroken and dating other races of men or have given up on finding a good black man and became lesbian or celibate, or resigned to being without a man and doing motherhood and everything on their own. So sad. Hope things get better in our community. Many women realize adultery is common. Hate Pastor Bryant didn’t get his ex-wife Gizelle back. He has 3 beautiful daughters and pray they don’t get mistreated, disrespected and cheated on by black men. 😊❤
