Ah Sarita, losing a mom...until it happens ...one can't really know... it creates a hole that is hard to explain. you brought tears to my eyes. A beautiful testimony to her ❤
I started to cry once you mentioned loosing your mom. I lost my mom in 11/15/2023. You have given me new perspective. God bless you for always glorifying the father. ❤️
Mercy! 20 mins in I was praising God! Outstanding conversation! I chuckled a little as it seemed Chrystal was a tad quiet as she was worshipping right along with us. It was amazing she could still remember to ask questions! One of my favorites now! Definitely have to listen to over and over again! 🥰
I praise God for Dr. Sarita and her obedience. Seeing her lived experience is helping me. Her authenticity makes me feel seen as a Christian Black Woman.
What a gift to the body of Christ, to women, to black Christian women. Thank you God, thank you Crystal, for this podcast. May every hearer, be a doer and follow this lady’s example.
OMG, I think Dr. Lyons is my twin. In my 30s, I had shingles stressed to the max. Then knew nothing about rest like as she said until I was angry. Still growing in this area but much better. Her book is on my list to read. God bless.
Thank you Dr. Lyons and Crystal for being image bearers of Christ. I LOVED this dialogue and “real talk”. Your experiences as black women who are followers of Christ need to be heard by the body💜I thank the Father for both of you being centered in the word and led by the spirit. May God continue to bless you both and your ministries.
“A broken clock is right twice a day” - Dr. Sarita Lyons My God today!🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’m about to run!🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️ My goodness.. “What’s your Why? Ma’am you better teach !!! That sounds like what’s the heart motive? Thank you for this episode.. needed, necessary and very refreshing The truth nuggets .. whew
Thank y’all so much for having this conversation! Everything resonated so deeply with me. Dr. Sarita , thank you for your obedience in writing this book. It was needed!
Thank you Crystal this is another amazing conversation.I lost my mother last year and all that She said about her relationship with her mother has encouraged me as a church girl.Thanks again.🙏😄🙏🙏👏👏🙏🙏👏👏🙏
Man this was good! I listened to the podcast first then had to come listen again to leave a comment. So many gems! As a black woman in my earlier 30s, I needed all of this. God’s timing for the release of this was perfect! 💕
This really blessed me. I have recently learned who Dr. Sarita Lyons is via JHP's videos, conferences and such. Phenomenal wise word for black women of love Jesus Christ and how to navigate our faith, specific culture as black american women. Bless you!
Chrystal...you always know the right questions to ask....gets to the core of the matter...And Dr Sarita's GEMS 💎!!!!....Transparent Spiritual Wisdom talkin'!...Will definitely watch this one again!
This was an incredible interview and conversations. Thank you both so much for your thoughtfulness and ability to make resting in Christ practical and understandable for Believers and even those who are still hesitant to come into the Faith. Wonderfully done! GLORY!
Thank you for this deep.and multi faceted discussion. I love what you say about we have to go back to the garden. God has created us for such a time (and place) as this... Looking to the past for answers can be yet another distraction from embracing where you and whose image we are created in. I am Africa and... you are so right that many of the "idols" in the West are as evil but often a lot more subtle than the ancestral worship so common place here.
I was born in the UK 60 years old. At 10 1/2 years old I received Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. 😀I have been learning all my life to find my identity in Christ and God's word, despite being discriminated against because of my black skin. I HAVE NEVER BEFORE heard anyone outside of my parents and family (earthly Caribbean origin) speak like Dr Sarita Lyons about black Christian women in this way. THANK YOU. We are Royalty, children of the King of Kings once we are saved/ born again through Christ Jesus. I believe that this truth and God's Word should govern my life. For the last 50 years I have believed being a Christian and a child of God, comes above my blackness, gender and culture. ❤😊❤ Thank you Chrystal and Dr Sarita for sharing and going 'there'. ❤🙏🏼 I'll be buying this book😊
Wowwww! I already enjoyed Sarita ❤presence and talks, but wowwww! The mother loss part had me teared up girl! I sit in cries of my mother not here, especially this time of year. But I will be sitting in my tears with the Lord when I experience those cries. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so thankful and grateful to listen to this conversation. I know this message is for me. God know that I needed this, He knows our needs. Because He knows us. His teaching me something New everyday. I’m laughing and tearing!! I can related to so much what Dr. Sarita Lyons sharing. Glory To God!! I Thank Jesus Christ!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽in Him is my rest!!✝️👑🩸🕊🕊🕊🔥🔥🔥🔥I will stop here. Yesssssss!!! I must take care of myself. I’m a Living!! Breathing Testimony!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾((HUGS))🥰♥️♥️♥️
What a therapeutic and knowledgeable session! God bless you Chrystal and Dr Sarita!!!! Dr Sarita spoke about Sankofa and it originally from the Akan tribe in Ghana, which means "To go back and get/retrieve". It's is usually depicted by a bird with its head facing backwards. Its literal translation comes from the Akan proverb, "S3 wo wer3 fi na wosan kofa a yenkyiri," meaning, "It is not taboo to go back for what you forgot (or left behind). #PerspectivesWithLorrencia
OMG , i feel you i lost my mother last year still grieving ❤❤❤and things she wanted me to do i am finally able to them now and she s not here to see them ❤❤
I'm sorry this conversation was complicated for me.😩 I feel the same I don't want my life to depend on race. I do not focus on these things that cause distractions for me and my mental. 🥹 I do not want to navigate my beliefs in Christ by trying to understand why he created me as a Black Woman. This conversation is so good! I also want to run away from my responsibilities sometimes!🫣🤭😅 I will stop here and just try to soak this episode in.🥹 Thank you for sharing Dr. Lyons with us.🙏❤
Happy Happy Thanksgiving to your family my name is Camille pancham always watching all your podcast I love you so much you is so pretty I love your hair
Ouch! Each time you delay in writing this book, it's a form of disobience. People need to read this book, a book that God wants written. This just hit me!
Love the testimony here, by Dr. Sarita! I get it, and, there’s no race, color, creed, division, denomination in Jesus! When someone marks, modifies color, black/white, you're talking about the physical, not in The Spirit. So, we should speak for all God’s Daughters! I know you stated ' those far removed'. I'm not far from Jesus, speaking personally. And, I've been following your Dad on radio for 3 decades, The Urban Alternative; OCBF, your Family, for many years! No badge required. ❤
I like Shaffy Bello would be a good addition to your UA-cam channel. I really enjoy her wisdom. She's a Muslim. I'm Muslim and I'm constantly searching on UA-cam for content creator writers. I would love to work for you some day as an intern. My husband has an accounting degree. I want to work with Mrs. Hurst. It can be an awesome experience. I want personally meet your dad. I have family in Beaumont, Texas.
I love Dr Sarita. Finished church girl and it actually led me back into church. 💜
Ah Sarita, losing a mom...until it happens ...one can't really know... it creates a hole that is hard to explain. you brought tears to my eyes. A beautiful testimony to her ❤

I'm speechless. This is Loaded. Need to re-watch and take notes.
May God continue to bless your ministry Dr.
Thank you for always sharing Chrystal

Wow!! "There is nothing more painful than a compliment that's not true." I felt that. Wow!
This conversation is therapy for me. Thank you!
Glad it was therapy for you!
Me too!
The part about resting in anger hit home. It spoke directly to my situation. I thank God that I clicked on this video ❤
What a gift to the body of Christ, to women, to black Christian women. Thank you God, thank you Crystal, for this podcast. May every hearer, be a doer and follow this lady’s example.
I am a strong Black woman who also is a weak Black woman who is fully dependent on God.” I love this, thank you for this conversation.
OMG, I think Dr. Lyons is my twin. In my 30s, I had shingles stressed to the max. Then knew nothing about rest like as she said until I was angry. Still growing in this area but much better.
Her book is on my list to read. God bless.
This is so good! “How can someone ever care for you more than you care for yourself?” ‼️‼️‼️ I felt that!
Rest is from the Lord. I was dysfunctional. That's why i am in counseling.
I'll be reading, absorbing 📚 "Church Girl" on the beach in Hawaii this week! ⛱️
Alright girl! Blessings and traveling mercies!
She is indeed an exceptionally brilliant mind, a joy to listen to! Every time!
Thank you Dr. Lyons and Crystal for being image bearers of Christ.
