You can’t have your way and serve God if your way is different from his word. You can’t pick certain parts of the Bible and disregard the rest. Either he’s lord or not . Either his word is true or not. God can still get glory through you as a Luke warm Christian but that doesn’t mean you will inherit the kingdom. It doesn’t mean that you will hear well done. I’m not here to judge but encouraging this type of belief is going to lead people away. Good conversation but tit shows that people still don’t truly know him
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. He didn’t believe what’s being pushed down our throats. He was love and stood in judgment of no one. That’s what being Christ- like is. There’s more Christ outside of the church than inside.
We have to stop wanting people to be on the same level as we are. You have to grow to God being Lord of everything some people can wake up and it’s just like that others grow to that place The Bible says you have to die daily (dying to your flesh) and if you will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart (look it up it’s in there) You seek him by reading asking praying worshiping As long as they continue to seek God he will meet them every step of the way God sent his son for the liar killer backbiter fornicator adulterer homosexual and the Lukewarm God sent Jesus for the world and the world is full of all kinds of imperfect yet loved people The only way things change is by seeking God Keep seeking Him He will meet you where you are
@@purposebyhisdesign7614I get what you’re saying and I agree. But I think and I could be wrong is that the commentator is talking about the ones that really try to live both worlds. It’s a difference between really trying and seeking but still falling and someone saying they believe but still choose to live like the world, and not even trying to repent.
LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!! IT WAS EVERYTHING!!! It was compelling, refreshing, uplifting, educational, revealing, life-changing, rejuvenating….oh my Lord I could go on!!!! I cried, shouted, and clapped like I was in Sunday service hearing from God. Please do more podcasts like this. I definitely support you Chrystal and feel your “space” is indeed welcoming to get real and pour out, while renewing your heart, mind and soul with the message God needs us to receive. Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing a platform that ministers, even while it entertains. Much love to you Chrystal and your producers. ❤❤❤❤❤
I was so afraid to watch this episode! I don’t follow this woman’s platform, but she’s a familiar face, and so are some of her guest so I clicked…… I’m happy I did! So refreshing! So respectful! So diverse! Job well done!!!!!!!!!!! This is what the GOD I believe in wants! Respect, love, & unity.
I don't think I've ever seen a group of people with so many diverse ideas on God and religion have such an authentic, transparent, and respectful conversation, without judgment. This was very refreshing, and I would love to see more discussions like this where God gets the glory. Great job ❤
Devale Ellis, YOU ARE ON THE LINE!!! Keep asking questions, God is BIGGER than any organized religion. I marvel, and I love Jesus. I trust the Spirit. Trust what God reveals to you!!!
Ms. Lawrence testimony was beautiful. I needed to hear this. This was such a great discussion. Crystal, you are changing lives. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories. Such a powerful discussion.
I appreciate Miss Lawrence for her testimony of not working and God providing. I’m in that situation right now and people look at me like I’m crazy. I have all that I need.
This program is giving me goose bumps. The Holy Ghost is in the house. Thank you, Crystal and your guest. God is truly AMAZING, and he is working through you. PS. Crystal, I also thank you for mentioning a few episodes ago about your Pastor Dharius Daniels. He is a God send. I watch him every week on RUclips.
This conversation was absolutely needed. I love all the beautiful testimonies. One thing I learned throughout this journey is to be open minded. The overall goal is relationship with God, over religion and traditions. Somethings we have to unlearn, and we have to experience God for ourselves. Thank you for creating the space. Can we admire the talk show set up, you spoke it into existence on the episode with Sherry. Thank you for always keeping it positive!
Devale seems to have such a sweet spirit and he seems to really love and respect others. It was cool to see him in this light. This was a great episode, everyone added value to the conversation.
I’m so grateful for your platform, Crystal! Every episode is encouraging. I laughed and I cried. Continue to let God use you and your platform! Merry Christmas! ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I could have easily sat with this group and shared my testimony! All of the guests were so mature and transparent! Thanks for blessing us 🙏🏽
Wow, this episode was incredibly powerful! The message really resonated with me, and I feel so inspired after listening to everyone Testimony. Thank you for sharing such profound insights! Watching from🇨🇦❤
At the end of the day it’s between them and God. When we have a genuine relationship actually reading HIS Word and seriously applying it to our lives Holy Spirit will do the real work. If not we will bust hell wide open living off our assumptions. Lord help us.
This is a conversation that needs to be had more! And i literally LOVE DEVALE ELLIS💕 he thinks just like me and is a true seeker and i see him as a true inspiration and representation for the ones who push boundaries of tradition💗
❤ this is great yes church hurt is real I'm looking for a church home right now I'm doing online church. I love this I'm also a pk child I was in church everyday in a Holiness church I'm just trying to get back to God. So I'm seeking God on my own now. I trust God and I know he is faithful
I was an amazing episode. I grew up in the church as well so I can relate to each and every one of you. I had chill when each one spoke, that I watched it twice. Thank you all. God bless 🙌🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 what a beautiful and blessing episode. All your guests gave phenomenal stories that are relatable to what we are going through and growing through, as KIPS would say🙏🏿🍷 Kudo’s to Devale and Crystal for including him in the circle, so he can be transparent regarding questions he would have regarding the Bible and always getting push back when questioning The word. I remember going to Church 5 to 6 times on Sunday and Usher board practice on Tuesday, but one of our services on Sunday at 5 o’clock was called BTU(Baptist Training Union). I was 12 years old. I remember another young man who was 12 asked the Deacon, the instructor, a question. How can Mary be a virgin if she’s pregnant? The Deacon looked startled, and the elderly member looked embarrassed, so the young man got the pushback, and the Deacon said, “We’ll talk about that later. Next question:”? You can say Deacon didn’t want to talk about the Holy Spirit. “Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as, in fact, you are doing.” Crystal. 1 Thessalonian 5:11 Merry Christmas Crystal to you and Family and the KIPS fans
This episode was so good. Religion is such a sensitive topic and for y’all to come together and respect each other and be able to talk about it in a mature way was so nice to see. Thank you Crystal ❤🫶🏽✨
Ask God for wisdom he will give it too you because the Bible say study to show your self approve meaning u got to learn the word for yourself not just go off man but I love this discussion
All are God’s children. The religion might have a different name, the way people worship and pray might look or sound different. The paths to our creator might differ, but we all draw from the same source. There is no right religion because we all serve the same God. We complicate God by making our creator more like us rather than seeking to love like and live in our creator’s love.
Thanks for all you do; I LOVE your show I am so glad that GOD! Allowed me to connect with you on your show even though we don’t know each other personally; And I believe we don’t see, hear, or see anything or hear anyone by MISTAKE!!! GOD!!! BLESS YOU ALWAY!!! LOVE!!! YOU!!! KEEP! THE! FAITH!!! ALWAYS!!! 💜💜💜
This is basically everything my pastor was talking about on Sunday. The title was “We can make it with a messed up family” Jesus came from 14 generations of people who wouldn’t be deemed “christian” because of the things that they did. You do not have to be perfect for God to use us. A lot of church hurt and harmful theology pulls people away. God >>>> religion. What a beautiful conversation.
I believe Devale will one day sit and spend time in the Word in his quiet time. It comes by revelation. And he will find a church that is right for him where he will learn and grow in the Lord. A church for him and his family. It may not even look like the churches that we are more familiar with.
Devalle Ellis came just to cause confusion. He didn't have any intentions of knowing the truth. He came to play the devil's advocate. Pretty clever. I still love him. He's my adopted home boy. I'm from Nigeria. Much love bro!
24:58 Devale's question is valid and truth be told, as Christians, we've at some point wondered about this especially if you have friends or colleagues who practice religions outside of Christianity. However, God's ways are not ours. We need to pray that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened at all times. If I die and found out Christianity was all a lie, well, at least I held on to something. I don't think Christianity could be anything but the truth (this could be because I grew up as one, that's my life and everything). The Bible doesn't lie and there's been many instances of God in my life that solidifies true Christianity. Jesus is the way, truth and life. I'm not God but there's the possibility that grace abounds for those who believe in God but aren't Christians. I won't be the judge of that.
DeVale hasn't had his Damascus Road experience, once he has had that then all of questions will be answered. You have to have that encounter. Paul was a change man for real once he had that experience.
We truly need more conversations like this. The faith journey is a journey of learning and triumphs. Sometimes believers go through the walk afraid to ask questions for fear of being outcast or treated poorly. Remember Jesus served in love & truth
Devale you gotta pray 🙏🏾 for a true encounter with JESUS CHRIST because he will show you the way! There's encounters that are happening in the Middle East of ppl being saved from being Muslim and are Believers now in JESUS CHRIST. Your questions are truly valid and that is truly a gift for you to have visions/dreams....Ask GOD he will show you as Pastor Brenda expressed.

Well put and we definitely have to pray for true encounters with JESUS CHRIST because he is the only way! John 14::6🙏🏾
It’s a journey. What might look “lukewarm” today might not look the same for them next year. That’s the point of this entire discussion.
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. He didn’t believe what’s being pushed down our throats. He was love and stood in judgment of no one. That’s what being Christ- like is. There’s more Christ outside of the church than inside.
We have to stop wanting people to be on the same level as we are. You have to grow to God being Lord of everything some people can wake up and it’s just like that others grow to that place
The Bible says you have to die daily (dying to your flesh) and if you will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart (look it up it’s in there)
You seek him by reading asking praying worshiping
As long as they continue to seek God he will meet them every step of the way
God sent his son for the liar killer backbiter fornicator adulterer homosexual and the Lukewarm
God sent Jesus for the world and the world is full of all kinds of imperfect yet loved people
The only way things change is by seeking God
Keep seeking Him He will meet you where you are

Whew Ms. Laurence just took me out with “I have no LACK but no money”. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I KNOW Him as my provider & this was a sweet sweet reminder!
Such an important conversation! Shout out to Crystal for creating the safe space to dialogue and ask questions! 🙏🏾
I love Devale Ellis and his questions are so pure and honestly that’s the same way I am

I started listening to this episode and was touched and decided to go to church for Christmas Eve. Thank you. I resonated with everyone stories
Thank you God and crystal for providing this safe space and thank you to everyone who participated ❤️
That gave me chills when they said “Job well done my good and faithful servant”❤️🙏🏾
Ms. Lawrence testimony was beautiful. I needed to hear this. This was such a great discussion. Crystal, you are changing lives. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories. Such a powerful discussion.
I pray that as each person continues to seek God for themselves He meets them every step of the way❤❤❤
This was a very good thing to talk about. Thank you Crystal.
This was SO good. Miss Lawerence got a whole preacher on thee inside of him.
By far my favorite episode! 🤍
I appreciate Miss Lawrence for her testimony of not working and God providing. I’m in that situation right now and people look at me like I’m crazy. I have all that I need.

Loved this episode and the faith journey of each person!
This was really good. Your gem hit the nail on the head for me… we all need and deserve grace from others and mostly ourselves on this faith walk.
Devale seems to have such a sweet spirit and he seems to really love and respect others. It was cool to see him in this light. This was a great episode, everyone added value to the conversation.

This is one of the most remarkable episodes I watched here. I would love for this to be a regular segment. It resonated with me on several levels.
At the end of the day it’s between them and God. When we have a genuine relationship actually reading HIS Word and seriously applying it to our lives Holy Spirit will do the real work. If not we will bust hell wide open living off our assumptions. Lord help us.

Devale caused no confusion. Truth will come by revelation and it will be revealed to Devale. Devale will encounter Yeshua.
Thoroughly learned a lot! Y’all poured a lot in meeee. And I’d do same to everyone.

This was everything! Jesus
This episode was very good and nothing like being surrounded by like minded people ❤❤❤❤
