Lamentations 3:26 (KJV): "It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord." This verse emphasizes the virtue of patiently waiting for God's deliverance or salvation.
@@TashaBlack8506 Very true, just got to keep in mind that GOD is LOVE and there won’t be a perfect man but there will be a perfect man for us. So even if we discern a fault in him, that’s God showing us he falls short in this area and allowing us to see if we are willing to deal with where he falls short and build and grow with him while God works on where he falls short. Prime example Keyshia Kaoir, everybody thought she was crazy for sticking around with fat, thugged out, CHEATING, in and out of prison Gucci, but she could deal with that while God worked on all of those things. Now imagine if she had left him and he became what he is to her now for another women. Not saying that she wouldn’t have found someone else but God was all in the transformation of Gucci and Keyshia was the last women standing and now he realizes that and values that and takes her everywhere he goes.
People are already overly focused on themselves. Even chasing after others is a self seeking effort. The Bible says to deny yourself. New age spirituality, while sounding innocent, is unbiblical and keeps creeping into Christian theology.
As followers of Christ, let’s seriously cover these ladies in prayer. I pray they are filled with the Holy Spirit and fear of God to where those strongholds are broken from their spirits. Please focus on living a righteous life for God instead of trying to bridge the gap with culture and trying to make Christianity “look fun.” NO ONE is saying you need to be perfect, but you should be peculiar/set apart from the world. We don’t want you being comfortable living in sin. Don’t let the enemy deceive you all into thinking this conversation is confirmation that what you’re doing is okay when you know it goes against God’s word and will for your life. Don’t play with His grace!
Agree 👍🏽 I once had a mature Sister in Christ Lovingly REMIND me that it was not about seeing HOW CLOSE I couLd get to the worLd or RESEMBLE those in the worLd without actually BEING a part of the worLd. And although I cLaimed to be expressing my Individuality, I only ended up looking like a poor Imitation of everyone eLse 😂 I’m now in my early 60s and Praying to God to heLp me Focus More on GodLy Devotion and to Remain MODEST in my Dress and Grooming.
They do have the Holy Spirit in their lives hence why they are changing. God’s processing through their deliverance and transformations. They are young in the faith but they are involved in faith communities and are really striving g to please God. Just pray that they keep getting stronger I their faith. Stop acting like you were not once there. You didn’t change overnight. And judging from your comment God still has some heart work to do in you,
I commend them on being this vulnerable. It's shows God is working through them. Faith journey isn't one size fits all. It's an individual journey tailor made for each person between them and God.
Crystal & Lady London are my favorite guest by far. I need the 3 of yall to do a panel of some sort. I LOVEEEEEE the insight and energy.. Yall create such a safe space. This was a beautiful bomb ass episode
I just became a fan of Crystals. I’m sure you’re a phenomenal Actress but I met you through your podcast also you too B. You ladies make me feel like God hasn’t forgotten about me even in the dark times, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your honesty and helping me on my journey back to Christ. Thank you for not putting on a front. Love you guys I wish you guys the best of success.
I believe that god wants you to serve where you’re at in your life. That doesn’t mean to change your whole life but to bring others that follow y’all influence y’all have over the culture to bring others to christ!
Don't believe that... only believe the word of God..b Simone just declared herself to be lukewarm..she is right everything is backwards..God uses your position to bring u closer to.him so that He may use you for HIS GLORY.. notice fb says friends and ig has followers..Paul said follow Me as I follow christ! The point of God gibing you talent to build followers is that you lead them to Him wholeheartedly and in the CORRECT WAY..WE GOTTA STOP MAKIN EXCUSES..EXCUSES GONE CAUSE FOLKS TO LOOSE THEY SPOT IN HEAVEN SELAH
That sounds funny and all but remember the scriptures because the point is to become Sara not stay in between God and culture that literally lukewarm at some point one must grow up (spiritually) of course! I tell you of a truth it's nothing like growing in God it's literally a supernatural High that no even snoop Dogg has experienced yet 😂 Amen n Selah
B was on point with saying we do things backwards when it comes to walking with God and that is so true! I always say that some churches have a way of teaching us a backwards way of walking with God where they push acceptance of the results of a relationship with God instead of displaying realness and humanity !! And guiding ppl on how to allow God in those real and human times in life.. I’ve experienced that and it left me confused and more focused on looking like something instead of truly walking it out. I didn’t have anyone properly guiding me on my walk with God and it took me leaving church to really understand what relationship with God really looks like and how to accept it’s authenticity without the pressures of trying to make it “perfect” or “acceptable”. After 7 years of not belonging to or consistently attending church i finally found my new church home ❤❤
GREAT EPISODE!!!…one day my friend asked me why do i like Crystal so much…because I’m always supporting..i said i don’t know it’s just something about her..🤷🏼♀️..wen i tell u I’ve met some amazing ladies in the KIPS community..SISTAS FOR LIFE! ❤
I’m telling you! It’s just something about Crystal. It was pulling me towards her. Her spirit her energy. Her being vulnerable. I don’t know. Also I listen to her. Keep it positive sweetie podcast. It’s great to see another member here.
Facts! Her energy draws you to her. I wasn’t a fan of Sistas or Zatima. I was drawn to her when I saw the clip of Davale & Khadeen asking her to christen Dakota. Then got caught up in Sistas and realized she was on it.
This was GOOD yall! I work at a church and also fell into the trap of feeling the need to sound holier than thou. God said “girl stop” - I appreciate this convo!
"Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t deceive yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
THANK U READING THESE COMMENTS THEY JUST TURNED ALOT OF FOLKS INTO BEING OK LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS..B SIMONE JUST DECLARED SHE WAS LUKEWARM AND NOW FOLKS ARE GOING MORE ASTRAY I SCROLLED HOPING FOR THIS COMMENT HELP LORDDDD
I stand to be corrected but i believe being lukewarm is different from staying lukewarm.when you get an organ changed, you dont automatically heal and start running around ,its a journey,most Christians crucify those on this journey,and i think thats the topic of discussion. GOD is gonna change your heart and then it'll reflect in your behaviour,the most important thing is that you dind him and hold on to him@TheNOchick
Y’all are so amazing! Could listen all day long! When B said I’m not Sexxy but I’m not Sarah!! Ouu I felt that one!!! Thank yall for always being transparent and authentic with us!
I’ve always told my man he is wise like a godly man but chilldddddd when you said they carry cold hearts, or cold spirits. That hit!!!! I pray God heals him and I pray he chases God for his own good and better for us to be better at loving my eachother.
Great conversation! God is looking for our hearts not behaviour modification. I think it's also worth considering that when you make a bold public declaration that you are a Christian, you inadvertently sign up to a certain standard especially having a huge influence. People look upto you and you could be the reason someone gets to know the Lord or conforms to a compromised lifestyle because if this person who's a Christian is doing it, it also means it's right for me to do it. Alternatively, you could do your faith walk in private in that way, no one will hold you to any standard.
@@ashleyshuler I hear you but that's where we get to the work of the Holy Spirit where he starts giving us new desires, and it's a journey for all of us.. Killing the flesh is not easy no matter how much we want to spiritualize it. Remember how Paul says in Romans 7, "the things I want to do, I don't do". However, that transformative work gets impeded and delayed if we continue to fill ourselves with worldliness after professing Christ cs, if we are not filling ourselves with the word, praying and really desiring it then we will look like these so called worldly Christians who like the phrase "Only God can judge me" and similar when people try to hold them accountable.
OH NO HUN..GEEZ HE IS DEFINITLEY LOOKING FOR BOTH! B Simone and crystals heart is in the right place but still far gone with understanding.. Simone literally just declared she is Lukewarm..and to THE POINT U JUST MADE THIS IS EXACTLY Y U ARE TO ACT RIGHT BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL MIMIC EXACTLY U AND THINK ITS OKAY ..READ THE COMMENTS EVRYONE IS SAYIN THIS IS WHAT THEY NEEDED AND THIS THE CONFIRMATION THEY NEED CAUSE THEY NOT LIVING A HOLY LIFE ..EXACTLY WHAT U SAID IS LITERALLY WHATS HAPPENING THROUGH THIS VIDEO SELAH MAY GOD KEEP U
Crystal, I am a huge fan. I have watched your platform for a long time. Your story has inspired and helped a lot of people. Your podcast has inspired people to take care of their mental health. Continue to be yourself because people respond to it. B. Simone congratulations on everything, and may God continue to bless you both.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God this episode was amazing!!! I watched this at work with my AirPods in and hollered the entire time!!! So many spiritual gems dropped, and wisdom gained as a growing young woman! Thank you Crystal and B!🦋
That le crae episode really WAS SOOO GOOD! I’m surprised to even hear now there was backlash. It’s one of my favorite episodes!! U did amazing!! Okay just had to pause to say that.. let me keep watching haha
And that comment was so true about everyone throws stones, but if God was in your house, you would be asking him to forgive you the stones that you throw at a glass house if they come back at you, they will completely shatter your house. Yeah, people are just Rude and very judgmental disrespectful and they don’t wanna be put under a microscope. Well, how about we look at you and everything that you’ve done they try to act so perfect but behind close doors none of us are perfect in general but behind closed doors you don’t get to see everything. I love seeing people being vulnerable. You get to see the real damn situations that all of us might go through. I love seeing Crystal vulnerable please don’t change for anyone. People are gonna judge us, but God knows. and if this comment makes it sounds like I’m being judgmental. I really do apologize. That’s not my intent.
I appreciate this so much. I can relate to this. Being a woman, surrounded by people in the Christian faith, I have always felt as if I stood out and don't fit in. However, after some time, God has shown me that because of who He is in me, I can be myself and not worry about the onlookers or commentators. It still bothers me from time to time, yet this has really encouraged me. Keep glowing beautiful Queens!
“IT MAKES YOU WANT TO BE BAD!” That’s SOOOOO real! Also, I had been wondering where Crystal Renee had been! I’ve been checking for new episodes of Keep it Positive and thought it was odd that there hasn’t been any. Glad to see her back on a couch even if it ain’t hers lol.
I totally agree with the need to see different examples of what loving christ and living looks like. The world will having you feeling like it's a contradiction to want to party look good and go to church. Crystal tone is what drew me to her because its not every word God this and God that, but when she speaks you feel him. So I agree keep doing what you're doing. God loves and calls the Real. ❤
I pray that the lord continues to speak through the spirit sis❤️ I just want to clear up that partying and wanting to go to church are just actions. God is holy and righteous so when we truly grow and walk with his spirit our desires change through him. Just felt moved to speak this in love ❤️ keep growing and allowing God to work in you
This is an amazing episode. I don’t like being too hard on Christians but they do forget where they come from. Grace is real and it’s needed. This helps me remember to be me! Christians DO BETTER!!! and remember the Christ at the beginning and keep Him at the beginning.
Girllll, I just saw your episode with Lacrae and wanted to hear more about your story and just get to know you more. That episode was so GOOOOD. Im a 23 y/o single mother and just the way you carry yourself is really inspiring! You as well B. Simone 💗 loved your episode with him too, im glad Lacrae brought me back to you loveeee
Loved the vulnerable conversation! Crystal, I’ve been feeling this really strong urge forcing me to share what I've been suppressing 😩 but it won't go away… I feel called to tell you, to keep your options open and not to put all your hopes on one person. I get the sense that you sometimes do that-fully investing in someone too soon. Adding all your eggs to one basket. This London ting, he seems like a good person. There’s a positive energy around him. I’m even picking up that he played basketball overseas, possibly in Japan, and now he’s involved in coaching or scouting maybe both. He’s charming, and there’s nothing bad about him, but something inside me tells me he’s not the one God has for you. He’s part of the journey, but he’s not the destination. Whether you’re still talking to him or if things have faded already, just know that God has someone amazing in store for you. This person will be so aligned with who you are at your core and who you’re becoming-it’s going to feel right on every level. Listen, you won't have to save him, he’ll save you. He’s on his way. Just stay open, stay patient, and know that the love you deserve, the kind that will truly blow your mind, is coming. The best part is that it’s going to be even more than you’ve dreamed of. Girl, because the best is yet to come.
There are some ppl who give the Christian community a bad rep, and they should be called out for it. These ppl who suppose to be representing God can be some of the BIGGEST hypocrites. Church hurt is REAL. Thank God for grace and truly loving us unconditionally. ❤
This was a great episode and I enjoyed it their friendship is beautiful and I love to see them together they keep each other laughing and the conversation be so authentic and I love it
@@ludmillaarondo8118absolutely. Not sure your intention with this comment. But I know hit dogs holler. I have nothing to prove to anyone but God. And we’re like this🤞🏾
Hi @seraphine48 it’s sad that you’ve had a non Christ-like experience of Christian communities. I understand and I’m sorry about that. Please don’t give up on Christian communities. I believe there are some good ones out there and I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you to one that’s right for you 🙏🏽
@@ebierendiomu4890 thanks 🥰 I have my husband, friends, and family. It’s just churches and other larger groups where the judgement and gossip run too wild for me. I don’t want to involve myself in it. I’ve seen too much. It’s ugly. Literally knew someone who had to move states because of threats from judgmental people weaponizing the Bible. It’s not for me but may be for some. And I love that for them
I'm watching this podcast in November but it is so needed for " Christians" and non believers because we as a people and Generations can be so judgemental an I'm working on myself with this constantly to make sure that I don't deter anyone from being who they are. I pray that all journey's are what God needs them to be at the end of the day cause the journey is real but we are DIFFERENT. God bless and keep up the great work.
EVERYONE IS FLAWED 🗣️ THERE ISN’T ANYONE PERFECT BUT GOD… yall are living and learning and i love it 🫶🏾 only GOD can judge yall DO NOT let people get yall down; even though humans are evil and hurtful…
You must don’t read your Bible and the 11 people that agree with you ! If you saw your friend stealing, Prostituting , killing someone you wouldn’t correct them or hold them accountable???? or you would say live your life girl only God can judge ???? That’s not judging at all . Idk why yall always bring that up when you can clearly judge but righteously. What’s the whole point in going to church if yall don’t want people rebuking you or giving you kingdom advice ?? Everyone can be WASHED and RESTORED but yall want to stay stuck and die in your sin . Read the Bible or before trying to preach to someone . I had a whole child when I wasn’t married but I asked the lord for forgiveness and never made that decision again , that doesn’t mean I can keep doing it because of his grace . Grace runs out and yall taking advantage of it . I will not respond to whatever you say cause the word is true and I won’t judge someone that’s doing what I’m doing but I can most definitely give advice on something I been delivered from and that’s not judgement. That’s what God want us to do
It’s so crazy how God works. I was just crying to God about my walk and how I want to be closer and better with him, but I don’t wanna lose myself and be all Christian Christian and then this podcast come on letting me know that I’m gonna be all right, and I’m not the only one struggling with this topic our situation in my life thank you ladies for being so vulnerable and just speaking your truth and crystal. You’re an amazing person no matter what you said on Lecraepodcast I watch you all the time on Sister 🥰 and I feel like that character that you play is truly who you are. I love you so much girl and keep growing. I need you to keep being authentic.
I think you're mistaking a "religious" spirit for the Holy Spirit. Focus on the prize which is growing closer to God. Get in that TRUTH. God bless you sis 🙏🏽
Love loved this conversation! Thank you both. Hi B. Simone! Such a small piece of feedback, but I think it would make a difference to say "makes me want to..." as opposed to "makes you want to..." or "you just want to" - I definitely understand pulling people into the same/similar framework of mind or the camaraderie aspect of 'we probably experience the same thing so I probably speak for both of us when I say' kind of feeling, but I think taking ownership of personal statements through specificity of language is so important in conversation to leave room. It's a thing a lot of people do, and maybe people don't mind or really notice, but in my experience of facilitating dialogue one of the first community agreements to show up is "using 'I/my/me' statements" to avoid generalizing or speaking for another person
B no way love run from everything negativity and Crystal you are a light in darkness so don’t think you are alone in darkness you light shine so bright. And B I love y’all I’m proud of the steps yall have done and bout to do❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed the podcast! Please know that every “Christian” doesn’t represent the true body of Christ. There are followers of Christ that do live the life they proclaim. I love you both and I pray God continues to use you both for His glory. Abundant blessings and love 💜
When I say this is so amazing I love b & crystal walk because tomorrow I’m getting baptized and it put my mind at ease with every encounter of this episode! Keep on doing your walk here I am so proud of you both 💗
Happy belated birthday Crystal!!! I hope you enjoyed it, you so deserve it as you are out here killing it!!! Keep going we are all out here cheering you on 🎉❤
Proud of Crystal. I didn’t know much about her but followed about a year ago and over time I picked up on her not feeling like she’s herself in podcast etc but with this I can see a shift and feels more authentic. Happy to witness this new pivot!
This podcast was what I really needed, you guys claim the spirit but showed your true spirit. I am so happy to see y’all together, yall friendship, yall love, yall honesty is so raw and uncut and yall showing us your truth while taking your path to divinity is absolutely AMAZING.❤
I’m hate to say but the 2024 version of Christianity makes excuses for our weak areas. To acknowledge that there is a chance to fall is different than simply making room for the error to occur and labeling it in a human experience. There are areas you can set boundaries in order not to find yourself in sin and to find it humerus is sad. Noone should hide behind any of their faults because there is no condemnation in Christ but let’s stop stretching God’s grace to give room for intentional sin. Just because you’re honest about your sin still gives the same results. A building filled with “unbelieving “ believers with no proof of a transformed life. Just a social club on Sunday.
this is my new favorite episode! B we are literally so much alike, while i was watching you react to her give you the tea on her dating life im literally smiling ear to ear like i really have to meet this woman we have the same energy!🥹 and love to see Crystal always such an inspiration such a gem love you both♥️♥️♥️ it’s like ok girl calm down you don’t know them
This was such a good episode. I love the duo that is y’all. Great conversation. Congrats Crystal on that new possible love ❤. Thank you both for being real and being your true authentic self. We love to see it! 🫶🏽
I saw the Lacree podcast and I thought you were very real about who you are and how God is working on you. I believe your story set a lot of women free that day. Some of us Have gone through so much that we are not proud of in our lives, but we have to know that God still loves us and has a plan to use us for His glory. Thank you for your decision to be open and transparent with us, we love you and God loves you too, continue to let your light shine.
Oooowweeee!!! Love everything about this!!!!! I don't even watch podcast but babayyy this was so good. Keep on keeping on ladies ❤️❤️Praying blessings on you both 🙏🏾♥️
Around 50:20.. focus on God and the heart will shift and naturally fleshly desires becomes unattractive.. soo true! He is the Source! The word of God is the source! Amen.. this was everything ❤ Bless yall
I am a new fan of Crystal from this episode. What a beautiful soul. You both just have so much light it immediately resonates with my own. God bless you both and thank you for informing me about about Woman Evolve. I had no idea but now I am fully aware. So informative and fun for me. I also want wish Crystal a beautiful and blessed birthday❤🎉
You need to do a women’s event!!! You are the bridge, a lot of people need to hear and see the imperfections and the transformation!! God keep working in her
Wooowww so many of us are in the middle. “The holding pattern” as my therapist calls it. We’re not where we want to be but we are not where we use to be. 💕💕💕
I lovedddd this episode. So relatable. And let me tell you. As someone who was farrrrr on the churchy side, being in the middle is actually right where you remain in humble humanity. Think about AA. The best sponsors are the ones who know they can mess up tomorrow. Sober 20 years and done in a day. So they approach everyone w grace. Only those who THINK they got it would judge those who mess up. And ironically those are the ones who mess up in secret. Ignore the haters. The Lord sees your heart. In your realness, you seek Him more. The extremes are actually not even somewhere to aspire to. God will allow you both to bless people RIGHT where you are
@@Leeeigghactually she would come I think, she's mission focused not who the host is. Remember she was on Hardly Initiative when they brought a whole witch. People were asking Megan to bring her on her Pod and my response was, she'd need to do research on her cs Tiph is a straight shooter...
I appreciate how B is embracing her journey. But it’s crucial that we don’t let the fact sanctification is a process to give ourselves permission to live compromised. So seeing her transparency and bearing witness to her growth is meant to bless many!

Another tip for single ladies the more you focus on yourself and God the less you seek relationships the men will seek you out.
Very very very true! However the discernment you build up while focusing and loving on yourself is like a brick wall 😂😂😂
@@TashaBlack8506 Very true, just got to keep in mind that GOD is LOVE and there won’t be a perfect man but there will be a perfect man for us. So even if we discern a fault in him, that’s God showing us he falls short in this area and allowing us to see if we are willing to deal with where he falls short and build and grow with him while God works on where he falls short.
Prime example Keyshia Kaoir, everybody thought she was crazy for sticking around with fat, thugged out, CHEATING, in and out of prison Gucci, but she could deal with that while God worked on all of those things. Now imagine if she had left him and he became what he is to her now for another women. Not saying that she wouldn’t have found someone else but God was all in the transformation of Gucci and Keyshia was the last women standing and now he realizes that and values that and takes her everywhere he goes.
Totally agree

Not my bridge
It's not wise.
You can’t bridge cultural and kingdom business.. it’s called being lukewarm

Big factzzz sis… DC was a dream come true!!!
I’m telling you! It’s just something about Crystal. It was pulling me towards her. Her spirit her energy. Her being vulnerable. I don’t know. Also I listen to her. Keep it positive sweetie podcast. It’s great to see another member here.
Facts! Her energy draws you to her. I wasn’t a fan of Sistas or Zatima. I was drawn to her when I saw the clip of Davale & Khadeen asking her to christen Dakota. Then got caught up in Sistas and realized she was on it.
This was GOOD yall! I work at a church and also fell into the trap of feeling the need to sound holier than thou. God said “girl stop” - I appreciate this convo!
"Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t deceive yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
THANK U READING THESE COMMENTS THEY JUST TURNED ALOT OF FOLKS INTO BEING OK LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS..B SIMONE JUST DECLARED SHE WAS LUKEWARM AND NOW FOLKS ARE GOING MORE ASTRAY I SCROLLED HOPING FOR THIS COMMENT HELP LORDDDD
Yes! Give us that word🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@TheNOchickit’s very disheartening…praying for repentant hearts🙏🏾Choose ye this day whom you will serve!
I stand to be corrected but i believe being lukewarm is different from staying lukewarm.when you get an organ changed, you dont automatically heal and start running around ,its a journey,most Christians crucify those on this journey,and i think thats the topic of discussion. GOD is gonna change your heart and then it'll reflect in your behaviour,the most important thing is that you dind him and hold on to him@TheNOchick
Y'all are the reason why God ain't represented well
My prayer is that new believers continue to grow in the Word so that they know who He is and what He has called us to be.
Y’all are so amazing! Could listen all day long! When B said I’m not Sexxy but I’m not Sarah!! Ouu I felt that one!!! Thank yall for always being transparent and authentic with us!
I’ve always told my man he is wise like a godly man but chilldddddd when you said they carry cold hearts, or cold spirits. That hit!!!! I pray God heals him and I pray he chases God for his own good and better for us to be better at loving my eachother.
🙏🏽
Great conversation! God is looking for our hearts not behaviour modification.
I think it's also worth considering that when you make a bold public declaration that you are a Christian, you inadvertently sign up to a certain standard especially having a huge influence. People look upto you and you could be the reason someone gets to know the Lord or conforms to a compromised lifestyle because if this person who's a Christian is doing it, it also means it's right for me to do it. Alternatively, you could do your faith walk in private in that way, no one will hold you to any standard.
After your heart has changed, Your behavior has to be modified. Galatians 5:16-25
Yes, but a changed heart should naturally go down with changed behavior because a Holy Spiritual transformation occurs from within.
@@ashleyshuler I hear you but that's where we get to the work of the Holy Spirit where he starts giving us new desires, and it's a journey for all of us.. Killing the flesh is not easy no matter how much we want to spiritualize it. Remember how Paul says in Romans 7, "the things I want to do, I don't do".
However, that transformative work gets impeded and delayed if we continue to fill ourselves with worldliness after professing Christ cs, if we are not filling ourselves with the word, praying and really desiring it then we will look like these so called worldly Christians who like the phrase "Only God can judge me" and similar when people try to hold them accountable.
OH NO HUN..GEEZ HE IS DEFINITLEY LOOKING FOR BOTH! B Simone and crystals heart is in the right place but still far gone with understanding.. Simone literally just declared she is Lukewarm..and to THE POINT U JUST MADE THIS IS EXACTLY Y U ARE TO ACT RIGHT BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL MIMIC EXACTLY U AND THINK ITS OKAY ..READ THE COMMENTS EVRYONE IS SAYIN THIS IS WHAT THEY NEEDED AND THIS THE CONFIRMATION THEY NEED CAUSE THEY NOT LIVING A HOLY LIFE ..EXACTLY WHAT U SAID IS LITERALLY WHATS HAPPENING THROUGH THIS VIDEO SELAH MAY GOD KEEP U
Crystal, I am a huge fan. I have watched your platform for a long time. Your story has inspired and helped a lot of people. Your podcast has inspired people to take care of their mental health. Continue to be yourself because people respond to it. B. Simone congratulations on everything, and may God continue to bless you both.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God this episode was amazing!!! I watched this at work with my AirPods in and hollered the entire time!!! So many spiritual gems dropped, and wisdom gained as a growing young woman! Thank you Crystal and B!🦋
My first time watching her new podcast and I Love it. So relatable ❤
From culture to Kingdom 💪🏾
My God BSimone is 😂😂😂😂😂 the friendship you guys have is truly amazing✨✨
That le crae episode really WAS SOOO GOOD! I’m surprised to even hear now there was backlash. It’s one of my favorite episodes!! U did amazing!! Okay just had to pause to say that.. let me keep watching haha
And that comment was so true about everyone throws stones, but if God was in your house, you would be asking him to forgive you the stones that you throw at a glass house if they come back at you, they will completely shatter your house. Yeah, people are just Rude and very judgmental disrespectful and they don’t wanna be put under a microscope. Well, how about we look at you and everything that you’ve done they try to act so perfect but behind close doors none of us are perfect in general but behind closed doors you don’t get to see everything. I love seeing people being vulnerable. You get to see the real damn situations that all of us might go through. I love seeing Crystal vulnerable please don’t change for anyone. People are gonna judge us, but God knows. and if this comment makes it sounds like I’m being judgmental. I really do apologize. That’s not my intent.
Them people in his comments are horrible, I just seen the crazy from b Simone’s interview
I appreciate this so much. I can relate to this. Being a woman, surrounded by people in the Christian faith, I have always felt as if I stood out and don't fit in. However, after some time, God has shown me that because of who He is in me, I can be myself and not worry about the onlookers or commentators. It still bothers me from time to time, yet this has really encouraged me. Keep glowing beautiful Queens!
“IT MAKES YOU WANT TO BE BAD!” That’s SOOOOO real! Also, I had been wondering where Crystal Renee had been! I’ve been checking for new episodes of Keep it Positive and thought it was odd that there hasn’t been any. Glad to see her back on a couch even if it ain’t hers lol.
Love the transparency!! YES ❤❤🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for being yourself, both Of you. I needed this ❤
I totally agree with the need to see different examples of what loving christ and living looks like. The world will having you feeling like it's a contradiction to want to party look good and go to church. Crystal tone is what drew me to her because its not every word God this and God that, but when she speaks you feel him. So I agree keep doing what you're doing. God loves and calls the Real. ❤
I pray that the lord continues to speak through the spirit sis❤️ I just want to clear up that partying and wanting to go to church are just actions. God is holy and righteous so when we truly grow and walk with his spirit our desires change through him. Just felt moved to speak this in love ❤️ keep growing and allowing God to work in you
This is an amazing episode. I don’t like being too hard on Christians but they do forget where they come from. Grace is real and it’s needed. This helps me remember to be me! Christians DO BETTER!!! and remember the Christ at the beginning and keep Him at the beginning.
Girllll, I just saw your episode with Lacrae and wanted to hear more about your story and just get to know you more. That episode was so GOOOOD. Im a 23 y/o single mother and just the way you carry yourself is really inspiring! You as well B. Simone 💗 loved your episode with him too, im glad Lacrae brought me back to you loveeee
This episode was so needed. Thank you guys for your genuine conversation and company💋💐
Loved the vulnerable conversation!
Crystal, I’ve been feeling this really strong urge forcing me to share what I've been suppressing 😩 but it won't go away… I feel called to tell you, to keep your options open and not to put all your hopes on one person. I get the sense that you sometimes do that-fully investing in someone too soon. Adding all your eggs to one basket.
This London ting, he seems like a good person. There’s a positive energy around him. I’m even picking up that he played basketball overseas, possibly in Japan, and now he’s involved in coaching or scouting maybe both. He’s charming, and there’s nothing bad about him, but something inside me tells me he’s not the one God has for you. He’s part of the journey, but he’s not the destination. Whether you’re still talking to him or if things have faded already, just know that God has someone amazing in store for you.
This person will be so aligned with who you are at your core and who you’re becoming-it’s going to feel right on every level. Listen, you won't have to save him, he’ll save you. He’s on his way.
Just stay open, stay patient, and know that the love you deserve, the kind that will truly blow your mind, is coming. The best part is that it’s going to be even more than you’ve dreamed of. Girl, because the best is yet to come.
There are some ppl who give the Christian community a bad rep, and they should be called out for it. These ppl who suppose to be representing God can be some of the BIGGEST hypocrites. Church hurt is REAL. Thank God for grace and truly loving us unconditionally. ❤
Exactly 💯💯💯
This was a great episode and I enjoyed it their friendship is beautiful and I love to see them together they keep each other laughing and the conversation be so authentic and I love it
I had to let go of “Christian” communities. So many of them are NOT Christ-like. I’m better off just me and God
Are you Christ-like ?
@@ludmillaarondo8118absolutely. Not sure your intention with this comment. But I know hit dogs holler. I have nothing to prove to anyone but God. And we’re like this🤞🏾
Hi @seraphine48 it’s sad that you’ve had a non Christ-like experience of Christian communities. I understand and I’m sorry about that.
Please don’t give up on Christian communities. I believe there are some good ones out there and I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you to one that’s right for you 🙏🏽
@@ebierendiomu4890 thanks 🥰 I have my husband, friends, and family. It’s just churches and other larger groups where the judgement and gossip run too wild for me. I don’t want to involve myself in it. I’ve seen too much. It’s ugly. Literally knew someone who had to move states because of threats from judgmental people weaponizing the Bible. It’s not for me but may be for some. And I love that for them
Me and Crystal birthday twinnnsss!!! 🥳🎉
LIBRAAAA GANGGGGGGG
I'm watching this podcast in November but it is so needed for " Christians" and non believers because we as a people and Generations can be so judgemental an I'm working on myself with this constantly to make sure that I don't deter anyone from being who they are. I pray that all journey's are what God needs them to be at the end of the day cause the journey is real but we are DIFFERENT. God bless and keep up the great work.
Thank you both so much for sharing. Thank you for being the bridge!
The fact that she played a First Lady in Praise this🤣🤣🤣
EVERYONE IS FLAWED 🗣️ THERE ISN’T ANYONE PERFECT BUT GOD… yall are living and learning and i love it 🫶🏾 only GOD can judge yall DO NOT let people get yall down; even though humans are evil and hurtful…
You must don’t read your Bible and the 11 people that agree with you ! If you saw your friend stealing, Prostituting , killing someone you wouldn’t correct them or hold them accountable???? or you would say live your life girl only God can judge ???? That’s not judging at all . Idk why yall always bring that up when you can clearly judge but righteously. What’s the whole point in going to church if yall don’t want people rebuking you or giving you kingdom advice ?? Everyone can be WASHED and RESTORED but yall want to stay stuck and die in your sin . Read the Bible or before trying to preach to someone . I had a whole child when I wasn’t married but I asked the lord for forgiveness and never made that decision again , that doesn’t mean I can keep doing it because of his grace . Grace runs out and yall taking advantage of it . I will not respond to whatever you say cause the word is true and I won’t judge someone that’s doing what I’m doing but I can most definitely give advice on something I been delivered from and that’s not judgement. That’s what God want us to do
When I tell yall that Braelyn has a BEAUTIFUL soul, and is a gift to all of us from GOD, I mean that. Loved this.
Ladies, keep growing and going! Be your authentic self and allow yourself grace. Proud of both of you! CCFAM...🔥🔥🔥
Great episode! with my favorite girl Crystal🖤🖤 love you sis🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Mannnnnnnn…. I love this B🩷🩷🩷🩷 I love this duo !!!!! You guys are both such gem
Definitely 💕✨
I really enjoyed this episode - I laughed, cried etc. This was very insightful!
It’s so crazy how God works. I was just crying to God about my walk and how I want to be closer and better with him, but I don’t wanna lose myself and be all Christian Christian and then this podcast come on letting me know that I’m gonna be all right, and I’m not the only one struggling with this topic our situation in my life thank you ladies for being so vulnerable and just speaking your truth and crystal. You’re an amazing person no matter what you said on Lecraepodcast I watch you all the time on Sister 🥰 and I feel like that character that you play is truly who you are. I love you so much girl and keep growing. I need you to keep being authentic.
This💯💯💯
lol you could never lose yourself in God 😂sis that’s where you FIND YOURSELF!
I think you're mistaking a "religious" spirit for the Holy Spirit.
Focus on the prize which is growing closer to God. Get in that TRUTH. God bless you sis 🙏🏽
Love loved this conversation! Thank you both.
Hi B. Simone! Such a small piece of feedback, but I think it would make a difference to say "makes me want to..." as opposed to "makes you want to..." or "you just want to" - I definitely understand pulling people into the same/similar framework of mind or the camaraderie aspect of 'we probably experience the same thing so I probably speak for both of us when I say' kind of feeling, but I think taking ownership of personal statements through specificity of language is so important in conversation to leave room. It's a thing a lot of people do, and maybe people don't mind or really notice, but in my experience of facilitating dialogue one of the first community agreements to show up is "using 'I/my/me' statements" to avoid generalizing or speaking for another person
B no way love run from everything negativity and Crystal you are a light in darkness so don’t think you are alone in darkness you light shine so bright. And B I love y’all I’m proud of the steps yall have done and bout to do❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching and listening, learning, hearing perspectives of you and Crystal. Thank you!
Enjoyed the podcast! Please know that every “Christian” doesn’t represent the true body of Christ. There are followers of Christ that do live the life they proclaim. I love you both and I pray God continues to use you both for His glory. Abundant blessings and love 💜
I just love how warm the majority of these comments are🥰🥰🥰 this was a wonderful episode😍😍
The genuine laughter in this episode had me at my desk lmbo. Loved it ❤
When I say this is so amazing I love b & crystal walk because tomorrow I’m getting baptized and it put my mind at ease with every encounter of this episode! Keep on doing your walk here I am so proud of you both 💗
Happy belated birthday Crystal!!! I hope you enjoyed it, you so deserve it as you are out here killing it!!! Keep going we are all out here cheering you on 🎉❤
B this was so good 14:20 about the habits shifting AFTER Hod shifts my heart. I need this B.
Proud of Crystal. I didn’t know much about her but followed about a year ago and over time I picked up on her not feeling like she’s herself in podcast etc but with this I can see a shift and feels more authentic. Happy to witness this new pivot!
This podcast was what I really needed, you guys claim the spirit but showed your true spirit. I am so happy to see y’all together, yall friendship, yall love, yall honesty is so raw and uncut and yall showing us your truth while taking your path to divinity is absolutely AMAZING.❤
I’m hate to say but the 2024 version of Christianity makes excuses for our weak areas. To acknowledge that there is a chance to fall is different than simply making room for the error to occur and labeling it in a human experience. There are areas you can set boundaries in order not to find yourself in sin and to find it humerus is sad. Noone should hide behind any of their faults because there is no condemnation in Christ but let’s stop stretching God’s grace to give room for intentional sin. Just because you’re honest about your sin still gives the same results. A building filled with “unbelieving “ believers with no proof of a transformed life. Just a social club on Sunday.
Yes I must shift my heart first & focus on God. Then everything else will change. Wow what a good word. Thank you ladies.
this is my new favorite episode! B we are literally so much alike, while i was watching you react to her give you the tea on her dating life im literally smiling ear to ear like i really have to meet this woman we have the same energy!🥹 and love to see Crystal always such an inspiration such a gem love you both♥️♥️♥️ it’s like ok girl calm down you don’t know them
This was such a good episode. I love the duo that is y’all. Great conversation. Congrats Crystal on that new possible love ❤. Thank you both for being real and being your true authentic self. We love to see it! 🫶🏽
So proud an happy for Krystal 🙌🏾 Keep thriving, keep being you girl. I love it 👏🏾
Happy Birthday, Crystal! Great interview, y'all 🤗🤗🙏🏿💐🤎👋🏿🎉
I ❤ you B! When the journal part came out! Send me oneeeee!

Im 15mins in on the episode and yall are preaching. thank you and crystal yall are my faves
I’m new to you but i think you are so relatable and you feel genuine..continue being yourself and allowing God to shine through. ❤
This was a great episode 🙏💕💕I ❤️ to see y’all together.
I enjoyed this episode so much! This is exactly where I am so this confirmed and affirmed a lot for me. Thank you ladies! ❤️
I just want to say I love ya’ll & I pray you both continue to evolve and grow & attain everything your heart desires. God bless 🤍✨
I saw the Lacree podcast and I thought you were very real about who you are and how God is working on you. I believe your story set a lot of women free that day. Some of us
Have gone through so much that we are not proud of in our lives, but we have to know that God still loves us and has a plan to use us for His glory. Thank you for your decision to be open and transparent with us, we love you and God loves you too, continue to let your light shine.
Oooowweeee!!! Love everything about this!!!!! I don't even watch podcast but babayyy this was so good. Keep on keeping on ladies ❤️❤️Praying blessings on you both 🙏🏾♥️
This was soooo good. Thank you both for being so real🥰
This is so good, thank you both for your vulnerability! God bless you guys
Around 50:20.. focus on God and the heart will shift and naturally fleshly desires becomes unattractive.. soo true! He is the Source! The word of God is the source! Amen.. this was everything ❤ Bless yall
I really needed this thanks so much ladies ❤
First time viewer… I just fell in love!! “I’m the bridge!!” 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This was great. I'm so happy I'm here. I needed this.
This episode truly blessed me i love you both.. Sisterhood is everything ❤
I am a new fan of Crystal from this episode. What a beautiful soul. You both just have so much light it immediately resonates with my own. God bless you both and thank you for informing me about about Woman Evolve. I had no idea but now I am fully aware. So informative and fun for me. I also want wish Crystal a beautiful and blessed birthday❤🎉
I’am so proud of you beautiful ladies, continue to let God use ya’ll. Love y’all Crystal and Simone
Between Culture and Kingdom... sounds like a book.
You need to do a women’s event!!! You are the bridge, a lot of people need to hear and see the imperfections and the transformation!! God keep working in her
Wooowww so many of us are in the middle. “The holding pattern” as my therapist calls it. We’re not where we want to be but we are not where we use to be. 💕💕💕
Loved this episode so much, you both are doing amazing work God bless you 🤍
This Podcast is EVERYTHING!! I am HOLLERINGGGGG
Not me tearing up during the gift!!! I LOVE SISTERHOOD 😭❤️❤️❤️
I lovedddd this episode. So relatable. And let me tell you. As someone who was farrrrr on the churchy side, being in the middle is actually right where you remain in humble humanity. Think about AA. The best sponsors are the ones who know they can mess up tomorrow. Sober 20 years and done in a day. So they approach everyone w grace. Only those who THINK they got it would judge those who mess up. And ironically those are the ones who mess up in secret. Ignore the haters. The Lord sees your heart. In your realness, you seek Him more. The extremes are actually not even somewhere to aspire to. God will allow you both to bless people RIGHT where you are
My sis Crystal Renee! Love her!!! #ProundSweetie
B Simone can you bring on Tiphane Montgomery!? To talk about her book Year of the Bride.
Agreed
Have you heard the Prophet talk😅❤! She will never come. She don't do that lukewarm stuff. She does GOD fulltime
@@Leeeigghactually she would come I think, she's mission focused not who the host is. Remember she was on Hardly Initiative when they brought a whole witch.
People were asking Megan to bring her on her Pod and my response was, she'd need to do research on her cs Tiph is a straight shooter...
The both of you are so beautiful and real and being honest with yourself and others is a beautiful thing 😊
Relate to this conversation too much. Loved this episode.
I appreciate how B is embracing her journey. But it’s crucial that we don’t let the fact sanctification is a process to give ourselves permission to live compromised. So seeing her transparency and bearing witness to her growth is meant to bless many!
I love the LLTA podcast ❤❤❤
loved this so much, this is what we need!
