What happens when the place you're told reflects God's love feels…rejecting? When the people meant to guide you towards salvation turn their backs? When your heart, already fragile, is met not with restoration, but with ostracism?Yet, even in the shadows of that rejection, a different voice calls. A voice that sees the broken pieces, not as flaws, but as part of a masterpiece in progress.Join us as we explore the complex pain of being pushed out by the church, while still feeling the undeniable pull of the Divine. Can a broken heart find its true restoration outside the very place it sought refuge? This is… God’s Masterpiece.

I keep hearing that Black people  are loyal Democrats and this confuses me. Mainly because Black people don't vote, therefore we are not loyal to the Democratic party. That’s a misconception. If that’s the case the Democratic Party would not be hustling to increase voter turnout each year and the Republicans would not be able to conduct redistricting every other year to suppress votes. We either vote Democrat or we don’t vote at all.  We don’t fuck with or trust the Republican party, not because we are loyal to Democrats. It’s because today’s Republicans are the ones outwardly denying the existence of systemic racism and opposing the fight against said systemic racism. Yet with all that’s going and so much on the line including having a Black woman on the ticket for VP we are greatly divided Politically.  Especially Black Men. First Kanye decided to run, Nick Cannon supported Kanye after getting his black card snatched for apologizing and Jaheim took a break from driving his Uber to write a song about it. I know no one is perfect but with all the disrespect and disregard Trump has had for blacks over the last few months alone what is his appeal to Black men and young voters. Why is that considering such a huge price was paid to allow us to vote? Joining us to discuss The Movement and The appeal of Trump to Independents, black men and young people are Alvin Hicks, Ivan Walker and Darren Singleton Resources:  https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/ https://www.usa.gov/confirm-voter-registration https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/ Send your questions or comments to [email protected] or hit us up on FB, Instagram or Twitter @SweetTalkLane.

"Grief is the hardest journey we will ever take." ​We have experienced some form of grief over the last few months.  Many of us may have not realized that we were in fact grieving.  Usually, when we talk about grief we think of death. But grief also means dealing with the loss of normalcy, routine, employment, social interaction and much more.  On this episode we discuss Grief Journeys and how to help someone along their personal journey and what a grief journey entails. We answer the questions: How can I emotionally support someone who is grieving? How long should I grieve? What should I say or do when some says they are not okay? ​Featured Guest: Anitra J.Green was born and raised in Chester, PA.

Relationships are ending, a few are beginning and others are trying to stay on course.  COVID has reshaped our personal relationships in unprecedented ways, forcing us to live closer together with some people and further apart from others. Life in lockdown has necessitated close, constant contact with our families and partners, but social distancing measures have isolated us from our friends and wider communities.  The high-pressure environment of confinement, combined with the financial stress brought about by a Covid-19 burdened economy, has led to a rise in marital conflict. This is most evident in a spike in recent divorce rates and domestic violence. Listeners have asked me how I am managing after being quarantined  for 6 months with my spouse. So I have decided to address the questions directly with my spouse by my side.   On this episode my spouse and I answer questions asked by our followers as it pertains to Love, Happiness and a Pandemic. We tackle the topics: What two things  would you change about your spouse? What were/are your biggest fears about your relationship? What have you learned to appreciate about your spouse since COVID? Is friendship is an important component of marriage? What are our views about divorce and our guidelines for a successful marriage to name a few.
