- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- One of the most grounded, faith driven relationships in a popularity based culture which often promotes the exact opposite is without a doubt Meagan Good and Devon Franklin.
The power couple recently stopped by Sway in the Morning, to speak not only on their relationship that has become a testimony in itself showing a true transformation but also provide guidelines and tips to those that can apply it. One of those things many shy away from discussing is abstinence and celibacy, the difference between the two and what can be used in order to stay focused on that tempting path.
‘The Wait’ not only covers items that hinder growth in a relationship as a couple as well as an individual but addresses the questions you may have during that confusing, uncomfortable time of being stretched into your full capacity to love. Love Yourself. Love Others. Love this interview.

They are just the cutest couple and it's refreshing to see a faith based couple speak about their relationship
They are both intellectual.
Wow its great to see her being celibate in this industry.
trashhhhyyyyyyyy
I spent the entire video starring intently at each of them and I still can't decide who's better looking. They are physically perfect.
😄 Agreed!
I agree. Celibacy is more of a disciplined practice. You understand the greater purpose. I am happy with her change and her relationship. I don't know her but a relationship that involves God, commitment and spiritual intimacy is destined for longevity.
+SGSSG25 It's not about believing what he says. Practicing something because you want a clearer mind or you want to achieve something takes discipline. There's absolutely nothing dumb about me. But of course, that is only your opinion. And the rest I said are simply my beliefs, whether I clicked on this video or not. Plus, there are black women in Power. Clearly, just none you know.
Exactly. I've been celibate for a little over a year and I can tell you that it is a HUGE difference. My mind is clear, I'm no longer emotionally led, I'm able to see the red flags that I would normally be blind to before hand. I'm disciplined that sexual urge us no longer in me. My body has purged completely. I feel so rejuvenated the best feeling ever. I just wished I had known to do this in my youth years. The people who are celibate in this life to me, they are more successful, and more focused. The award for being celibate is well worth it.
Devon made some great points about people being actors in real life. He was so on point.
Can't Disagree.he is spot on
I want to say something about the sexiness of Meagan Good, however out of respect for her husband I'll refrain....
+ProjectDystopia Yeah man she looks good!
Man up son.
@
+Ktaressa They are...
***** I want Devon to fart in my face
This is crazy. I broke up with my ex a day before the new year started and he couldn't understand why but I did because I didn't want to walk into the new yea e with someone who doesn't have the same visions as me all around and I wanted to stop having sex and he still doesn't understand lol. I've noticed now that when you focus on YOU and not sex, love, and relationships that aren't healthy for you, you start to notice how successful you can become. Now they are speaking on it and I say Its crazy because I know it's a path I need to take.
AMEN
The power of late gratification... am soo much blessed by this book "wait"...
Why do some women always got to post comments about them wanting a good man? One of the things she clearly said was she worked on herself. Focus on yourself not having some good man
Exactly
Sway gives the best introductions hands down, period. This man can make anyone sound like the greatest person alive.
The way Mr. Franklin handled the homosexuality questions shows that he would make an excellent politician.
+William Walsh I was thinking the same. He just said NOTHING! LOL
+Catherine Mengue that's the thing...Money is power...they have a book out there...talking against homo would clearly decrease book sales. Just tell the truth, "I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman", or " I believe sex between two men or two women is wrong". Stop the BS.
+Daniel P Sway was wrong period!
+Mss Meee wrong for asking the question? I'm not following u... Can u explain?
Granted I could be wrong, but his motive didnt seem right. Its like he was trying to start something plus it seemed like the whole crew didnt like them. But hey if im wrong im wrong
In every interview you can just see the love emanating from Devon and pride from Megan. I love them together.
The question about homosexuality was unnecessary, but Devon handled it well. He basically said he is not the type of Christian that would condemn someone because they are homosexual or that person differently. He alluded to having different "views", but said his views wouldn't get in the way of the way he treated them. Now THAT IS a Man of God. He never said anything was ok. Folks are bothered because he didn't jump on the "being gay will get you to hell" train. If he wants to win souls for Christ, it won't happen that way. You meet the person and eventually they will ask you about your faith through your good deeds and then the Holy Spirit convicts them to share the things they struggle with and then there is the opportunity to share the word in respect to that. He also never said " we wrote this book because the bible says that fornication is wrong and we don't want anyone to go to hell", although I'm sure he knows that already.
Tapered Natural TRUST AND BELIEVE, THEY'RE HITTING HIS BUNS FOR THOSE MOVIE PARTS.... THAT'S WHY HE SAID THAT.
Omg she is so blessed. A man who loves God.
Liz Richardson
Sure
Right!!
damn i wish there were more men out there like devon
+Mela Boricua There are but people like that are rare. But if you truly want someone like that you will find him. Most people make choice about lovers based upon what they have witnessed with their parents.
William Walsh funny thing is, my parents have been married for 30 years. my dad reminds me of devon.i just dont believe there are many men left like him.
Mela Boricua Look for people with PhDs in sociology, history, literature, chemistry, biology, or physics
William Walsh lol just bc someone has a Phd doesnt mean they are a good guy and Christian, believe me. im in academics, i have a masters and working on Phd
+Mela Boricua stop bragging, ur degree is probably easy as hell
THIS IS THE GOAL RIGHT HERE
These ladies keep saying how they wish they had a man/husband like Devon for all y'all know he could be a different person behind closed doors. Just pray that God sends you a husband that is fit for you and pray to God to make you fit for your future husband.
They better stay together forever with this advice they giving
best comment on here..
+Red Robin nah only till the proceeds from the book come through
+john smith 👏🏾👏🏾
+Red Robin #Savage hahahah lol
+Red Robin --ONLY TIME WILL TELL...
They getting so much hate. That means you doing something right 👀
Am soo much in love with this couple...They doing what a lot of people are refusing to do..Building ur relationship on God will guarantee you great success in every other area as well
Meagan's vocal tone is so solid.. Beautiful
I appreciate the way they interact as husband and wife! Like they talk that talk and walk!
Tracy G is so articulate and well spoken, she is going to go far!
They are a beautiful couple. I respect their commitment to God and to one another
Not saying celibacy will work for everyone but finally ! A beautiful black couple who finally do it the way God made it! I hope I can find a guy with the mentality of Devon...
Sad to see so many disrespectful comments under such a nice message... Dudes can't control themselves when they see a beautiful woman. That's why messages are necessary because people NEED it. It's prescribed for an illness. It's sad that when people tout a positive message, the haters rise up so strong. But when people are out living a life full of negative behavior, they get applauded. The cycle spins and spins and the same outcomes repeat themselves, i.e. poverty, racism, violence, etc..The FACT that the natural reflex to goodness is hate is more than enough to prove that sin and righteousness spoken of in the bible is the real deal..
Erin Liggins the question is, is what you speak of the result of conditioning or is it inherent among blacks people?
i totally agree. and the nature of that conditioning is so sinister...
fueled by hatred, jealousy, fear, arrogance, and straight evil... and it continues on even today as we can see. Where is the point that we take responsibility now that we are aware and have more power to protect ourselves?
now that is relationship goals!
Thank so much I have started my life over from a divorce and I am being celibate and I truly thankful for the both of you and many other people like you due to the fact I am 45 years of age going on two years celibate. Your relationship with God and that as a Men you lived what you preach was so inspiration that give me some Hope that my true Love will come. Because my Faith in Love is that mustered seed and megan just love your spirit thank you so much both of you keep it up. I love the way you both show your affection told each other when you at a church or interviews God Bless.
They both have amazing media training.
They will make such beautiful kids. Not many couples can you look at and say "what a cute couple" and actually mean it. Nobody settled for the other in this one.
We need more black men like this💕💯
"i heard it was going to be him months before we went on our first date" Listen people! The truth is right there in front of you.
awwh i love they way they are always holding hands. Meagan always reaches out for his hand.
I can relate to everything that they are saying, to both of them I take off my hat.. because I am a strong woman of God, Gospel Recording Artist, Celibate 20 years now, and it's the Lord who leads me, I pray for a Celibate husband like DeVon Franklin, but it has to be gods Will.
I love how devon shut down the first caller. He better get him together lol
"I wanna marry ya'll" LOL!! I loved this..
Lmaooooo yes! Me too lol
So much respect for Sway... he’s one of the only interviewers who does detailed research and actually gets into who comes on the show
She's a real woman
the way meagan looks to him real love
I'm happy for this couple, they're my inspiration. May God bless them.
For those of you who don't like how Devon answered the question on homosexuality, I'd just like to influence you opinion if you don't mind. What he was saying is that he's not gonna just blatantly say "I disagree with homosexuality" because with today's society it would only be taken out of context and the following message would be lost. The following message is that although homosexuality is immoral, it's not something us as Christians should demean homosexuals for because we're all sinners and we understand that people don't just choose to be gay a lot of the time. We CHOOSE to lie or have sex out of wedlock or w/e but to be homosexual a lot of the times doesn't work like that. And I feel like what he's saying is he doesn't agree with it per say but that doesn't mean he hates gay people or ANYTHING along those lines but it's like society will you with your words so much nowadays that you gotta talk like a politician sometimes. He's trying to win over and strengthen Christian souls..
And he understands that in order to do that, you have to learn how to speak in certain settings in which your saying what you mean but you arnt being misinterpreted, there are times and places to be more specific about things when he has a more intimate platform to go into each of his views, a radio show is not the place to do that. Part of being an evangelist is being strategic
notice they didn't want to step on any toes when talking about homosexuality 😂😂😂😂😂
Look how she listen to her man that worth alot!
i was smiling throughout this interview..so beautiful this couple
This was such a great interview, I love these two and I read their book The Wait so quick it was so good and I definitely learned some stuff and I am proud to say I'm following the celibate route. I love to see how genuine, playful, and just how real they are as a couple it's refreshing. Excited for the day I find a love like this.
This is a really good book. I read it front to back cover. You won't be disappointed.
Sharla Gardner Yes it is
sway was so tacky... the book is about them waiting until they are married to have sex. What does that have to do with homosexuality? Thats like also bringing up, "How do you feel about black lives matter?"
DEEEEEEEEP. Love this. Thank you Sway, Devon & Meagan 👏🏾🙏🏾
Everybody head started bobbing all out of nowhere when the beat played :) they couldn't resist the music 😀
Megan Good whats your skin care regimen though? :)
this guy looks like Trai Byers from Empire.
twins
To God be the Glory!
It is good to see true love. They look so happy and I really hope it lasts forever.
BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND BLESSED COUPLE!! LOVE IT!! I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MEAGAN AT A PANEL DISCUSSION AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY! SHE HAS AN AMAZING TESTIMONY AND STORY! GOD BLESS THEM! :D
One of the greatest interviews that I've seen so far this year.
I love them. I love Meagan and her husband. Such a good looking couple.
I'm not a Christian but they are awesome and great points.
I watched to see what this guy was about after all the headlines and was starting to like him for his eloquent way with words. But then he came undone and did an Obama at 13.02 when asked the "allegiance" question about his views on homosexuality and totally caved in to the pressure to please the crowd (which I I've done against my will so many times in other situations) and basically misled people by saying that God's purpose for celibacy until marriage was just as applicable to homosexuality despite knowing full well, as a pastor, that the bible is clear that it is against the will of God. And Meagan is clapping him like "you answered that good honey" because he seemed to appease the interviewer but I know from personal experience that afterwards - if you truly follow God as you say you do - there is no way you can feel peaceful inside about not speaking the truth - kind of like Peter when he was too scared to admit he knew Jesus. Or when you get asked that other allegiance question: are all religions equal (aka is there more than one God) and you say something like yes when you really think no. So painful! It takes all your courage to resist, but it's these moments when we are sifted that we have to resist that powerful pull to tell people what they want to hear, even when it means going against the crowd and losing something in the process........like book sales or movie deals....or "friends". The reason people say the truth hurts is because the bible does say the truth is sharper than a double edged sword. So sometimes the speaker also gets hurt from the backlash from those wounded from hearing the truth. And so people try to swallow us with anger and insults like "bigot" or "judgemental".
Sway's Face at 18:04 made by day LOL haha
Now every time I see Sway’s name I just remember Kanye saying “You don’t have the answers, Sway!”
They way Megan looking at him like I'm about to give the sexiest eye contact when u get home
Awesome interview, I learned soooooooooooo much!!! Thank you
Me and Meagan go way back, ask Cousin Skeeter.
Lol you're silly. I loved that show when I was younger.
I love them. The book. Everything. however, I only have one thing to say. to say people who are abstinent are abstinent due to "no options" isn't fair to say at all. Because I'm abstinent as well and plan to be (hopefully Lord) until i am married. & i have MANY options of people i can or could be sleeping with, and I also choose not to because I have a higher purpose for my relationships than just sleeping with any and everybody and I also believe that when you sleep with people your bodies are connecting and I am not willing to share my body with any and everybody at all until God sends me that person. So no Celibacy & Abstinence are not the same...but yes we REQUIRE, SEEK, and are PURSUING the same things when it's done through Christ. #Justsaying
I think they might frame it that way because they didn't remain abstinent and chose celibacy after multiple partners....but why make me out to be purposeless for making the decision to refrain from sex BEFORE indulging and then choosing it's better for me to not do that? His point is great....but it applies to abstinence, too.
doesnt matter what word abstinence or celibacy. the main thing is the intent. period.
WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!!!
I loved the ending the way they looked at each other while answering the questions😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lovely couple. Great interview
omg i am obsessed with this couple! 😍
Feeling for the call whose been 9 years with kids; my rule is 1 year & you have to keep it moving you don't get to play my time or life.
Omg so beautiful 💕 and I love how he looks at her the whole time she’s talking like that’s a MAN, a HUSBAND!
Beautiful...straight facts. People put their hearts in parts that spread apart and swell way to often to focus on the things that are important for a successful relationship.
I ain't buying none of this shit until I see more 18-25 year old women getting with guys like him.
Guys like him don’t exist lmao
There need to be more men who not only hear this message but adopt the mind frame of Devon in this world. (and women too who seek their hearts and not settle for less)
And Yes I love Devon and Megan they are young, growing and doing their best. Thumbs up for the book. Congrats!
Sways face at 18:05 hilarious
my favorite is meagan good, married a great man.. #realcouplegoals
We need more interviews of substance like this one...Good stuff for everybody cuz we all need work with relationships!!!
They live together, don't they? why she said : his bedroom instead of OUR bedroom?
Every point they made hit the hammer on nail. A person does have a string sense of discernment. I know I do. My career has gotren better and God is grooming me for my own business.
The real question here is: Is it even possible for a non-Christian man to be rational enough to understand and practice celibacy? I practice celibacy for common sense but I can't submit to Christianity and I really want a good man but the few ones I've met who actually believe in celibacy are judgmental because I'm not a Christian (that doesn't make me a bad person or a whore). I don't feel like converting into a religion just to secure a partner...
In reference to the homosexuality question, and how was dodging the question and being politically correct, Jesus was politically correct a lot of the times, hence why he answered the Pharisees and others with parables a lot of time. Trust you'd get the truth, but he'll deal with your ulterior motives which is not pure and of love at the same time! Which is what Devon did!
Exactly!!
Beautiful couple!
man..i been waitn a long time to find wifey....God i cant wait to come across the Love of my Lyfe!
Did you find her? 👀🤣
@@jennyramirez0692 hahahaha not sure yet. As far as i know i havent. Then again being a Sailor that works on a ship pretty much most of the day everyday out of the year in combo with corona limiting my travel from my command is a slight challenge. Life is gunna have to come at me harder than that tho to keep me away from my ride or die. Im still looking forward to it. Who knows maybe one day ill creep on the right online platform and bam! lololol
@@jennyramirez0692 And you?? How are things lookin?
@@jennyramirez0692 btw i just saw the video on your page. The 4 others with you discussing life after uni. You did you end up pursuing art?
@@JRis44 hahahaha omg
😭😭😭 I totally understand. You got any women sailors? Lmao
Awwww that was super amazing! Preach! God bless and keep you guys!!
Really good interview.
Long way from Friday!! M. Good
Beautiful couple. God bless the whole panel. Great discussion. Practicing abstinence brings clarity, focus, and for me I can get more accomplished in my life when sex not a factor. I have been asked how could I abstain after many years of having sex. My reply to my self. Self-love, truth, tired of meaningless sex, afraid of diseases, brokenness, valuing my body, no longer wanting too let an individual chip away from my body and not able to fulfill any happiness in my life, conviction. Every time I would have sex while doing the acts that I once was ok with I started feeling dirty. God is so good. I am older, wiser abstaining and happy. I had so much meaningless sex in my life that I do not ever have to have sex again. Also I started having sex at a young age. If I could change three things in my life , one would be never to have had sex before marriage and that would have been the only man. Not cool to be a woman and can't even count the amount of men I slept with. Shameful! Thank God for change.
Celibacy together 9 yrs 3 children. Some people man. You cannot be celibate when you live together. 9 yrs 3 kids what is celibacy going to do for you, you are engaged means you will get married in months.
Jessica Letsu lol girl I was thinking the same thing.. like such question 🙄
Many years ago I spoke on the phone to Devon Franklin regarding my script ROBBING HOODS. I could not convince him to take a look at my script. It's a shame because everyone that has read it loves it. I think it would be a hit.
This guy that called talking about what if after the honeymoon her sex isn't that great. He sounds like a little boy. I would have fast forwarded if Devon response wasn't coming. This guy question is good, but he just came off like a big kid to me and I can't explain it. Like Devon said women's body isn't a vehicle.
why the separate rooms its marriage not an arrangement
God bless both of them...their doing things the way God intended for us..
Beautiful couple! She is one of my favorite actresses! She was amazing in Eves Bayou!
I like the term organized chaos 😂
Hhhhmmm the Word is the Word... I'm sorry I can't skate around the truth... we judge the ACT and NOT the person... hey we all have vices we are struggling with but I have to answer according to the Standard we are all striving to live by.. for our purpose is to love unconditionally but I have to say DeVon failed to answer the question directly... for a lack of a better way of saying it... DeVon skated around the answer and wasn't straight forward...
hey! he just showed we are just that... HUMAN... a work in progress... our PERSONAL salvation is just that a PERSONAL one... you take those aspects that will help in the journey and leave the rest where it is... and keep going... MY faith is not in man but in Christ! And I think most folks forget and place folks like DeVon on a pedestal... I believe God used him and his wife to spread this particular message... and from there one keeps moving... I have the book ad thus far its been encouraging/inspirational in my 4yr journey of celibacy...
They received direct questions but talked around the answers. Maybe to tease the book but they could have been more specific. I also caught the smiles they exchanged back and forth after the question regarding homosexuality and they gave a political answer. Oh well.
They were probably expecting it or it caught them of guards and they're both like good answer
Damn many negative comments they look great and I really think they'll last they look great together and laws if they have kids mane 😍👌
My brother Devon is a winner
good looking couple
Lawrd!!! He's preaching😻
Loved this interview!
Megan Good's lips 😍
