Amen!!! They often don’t have high character guests. They usually are cursing or saying something that doesn’t align with God. Just my opinion. OPINION. Lol
Thank-You Tony for reminding me the importance of cultivating Love for my wife. ❤ Blessed with 7 good Years of marriage. 🙏🏾 The marathon of becoming the best husband I can be continues! 💯
I am proud of u and I pray u continue to become better for your wife so u can continue to lead your family 🙌🏽 A healthy family is beautiful, beautiful memories...give that to your family stay strong 💪🏽 🙏🏽
Cheating is like the lowest you can go. Cheating makes YOU look despicable and uncontrollable. Not make you a good man or woman. You actually degrade yourself.
Females only say this cause y’all don’t want to be cheated 😂 it’s bad but not as nearly as bad as females make it. I don’t cheat and actually got cheated on and I don’t think it’s that damn serious.
This brother exposed everything about me & most men it’s refreshing to know someone genuinely cares for men to give us the actual truth! Very special podcast guys🙏🏾💯
Exactly 100% I've had men with Audi's, Porsches, Etc try to get with me. I'm not looking at the "C"ar I'm looking at the "C"haracter! I got all 4 B's with some added i.e. the brilliance...the brain, the brand, the body, and the beauty! The beauty of holiness like King David said. I'm not just talking about outward beauty, I'm talking about inward beauty too. Also I've never been into Gucci Bags and Rolls-Royces, I ain't that type of woman, that's majority average women. About 2 years ago I made a mini rap called "G" God gave me Gemstones not Gucci, so when you see me in the first "G" ya' know who put them on me! 😏👏💎👑 (Full Version) A Short Poem Entitled "G" God made "G"emstones NOT "G"ucci, So when you see me in the first "G" Just know who put them on me, lol "I wear what's God-made first "G", they wear what's man-made "G"ucci I guess that's what I get for being holy, shining for the Most High's glory. #Royalty 👑 #Isaiah54:12

I’m overjoyed that these young men had the wisdom to invite Tony to the show. I hope other podcasters will follow suit. Tony is changing the narrative regarding relationships. Our community desperately needs to hear what Tony has to say. I’m so proud of him!
Wisdom? Changing the narrative? This podcast was an hour and a half of saying “When men do wrong by women, it’s men’s fault. When women do wrong by men, it’s men’s fault.” Same decade-old pandering thats been done to death by dudes like Derrick Jaxn, Steve Harvey, Jamal Bryant, and the countless other “relationship gurus” that male audiences don’t acknowledge or respect. Tony says it himself: His following is 94% women, this channel’s following is 70% women, and their main appeal to female audiences is being an object of desire to their followers rather than actually helping them achieve meaningful results with the general male population. They don’t want the attention of men. They go out of their way to avoid interacting with platforms and content creators that have actual male audiences. That’s not a coincidence.
@@AJweathersbyexactly what I’m thinking 🤦🏿♂️. It’s crazy cause I actually tried to hear him out but naw this not it…. And how is he changing the narrative 🤔. Then he preaching religion like the majority of the listeners practice that shit come on.
@@DushaunKing Most people are religious. That part is fine. But the truly abhorrent part about Tony Gaskins is how he knowingly lies about the teachings of the Bible while presenting himself to be a biblical person. His entire gimmick is saying that men are given explicit orders from God on how they should treat their wives, and that the way women treat men is simply a byproduct of how good a man treats her. That is *NOT* a biblically sound belief. The Bible gives explicit instructions to both men and women about how they should treat each other in relationships, under no exceptions or conditions, and holds women to a clear standard of accountability just like it does men. No true follower of God’s word would tell a woman that it’s anyone’s responsibility but her own to be a good wife to a man. Tony is teaching false biblical doctrine and calling himself a man of God, while self-admitting to “used to” being the kind of man he claims to protect women from. Just like Derrick Jaxn. Just Steve Harvey. Just like Jamal Bryant. Just like all these false prophets who proclaim to be helping lead women to both God and better relationships with men, while doing the exact opposite in all actuality.
@@AJweathersby Sorry, it’s clear you didn’t watch this whole thing into entirety and heard what you wanted. It’s clear you already had an opinion about him before even watching entirely. The Bible gives specific instructions for men and women in MARRIAGE. That is what he spoke about mostly, not relationships. And you didn’t specify how Tony is doing the opposite giving advice to women with bettering relationships with men. He straight up said that he tells women that they are delusional and clearly explained his approach throughly starting 11 minutes in and how his approach is different from other podcasters. He explained how the new podcasters are causing division between men & women. Those same male podcasters don’t even speak anything biblical at all! Kevin Samuels was an excellent example that he used. Another great example he used later was a girl and her father comparing the father to Clark Kent. The father will no longer be a Superman as the girl gets older but will have to reveal his real identity. Tony has never hid the real him about his past with women, his personal life with his wife and kids. That’s the biggest difference with the men you mentioned.
@@blackbutterfye It’s clear to me that you’re already dead set on defending him and have no interest at examining him with a critical eye. But even so, I’ll still point out all the problems with what he’s saying. 1) Tony actually did well as explaining it himself, and I’m not sure how consciously aware he was of it: most of the appeal that male relationship podcasters like him have to women is that they present themselves as the kind of men women want, and listen to him because they like to imagine themselves as one day being with him. A man being a former player, cheater, womanizer, and now proclaiming to be a God fearing husband is right in line with most female fantasies about men. ‘Relationship experts’ like him are effectively the male equivalent of cam girls. They sell a dream. It doesn’t matter if their advice actually works on men, because women are watching to fantasize about the ideal man on the screen, not to confront the unideal realities of men in general. 2) He mentions how these other men’s podcasts are causing division. He’s a hypocrite of the worst degree for saying that, because he causes division. So much so, that no men listen to him. 94% female audience. His criticism of Kevin Samuels content in particular was that it made him start side-eyeing his wife, and judging her worth to him. That’s exactly what Tony tells women to do, and why men don’t care for people like him. And he half-references and perverts Biblical scripture to support these sort of views. 3) You say he gives advice to women. I disagree. He hardly gives any actionable advice or mentions anything in the way of self-improvement and making oneself more valuable/desirable to men. Quite the opposite, he mostly tells women that it’s men’s responsibility to see value in a woman as they are. Again, completely unbiblical and just generally bad advice, that he defends with deliberate half-readings and perversion of the the scripture.
That last 2 minutes he snapped. I was a loser who got overlooked. I’m married three years as of last Tuesday & still want that validation cuz i didn’t get it from my mom. My wife adores me & for years i didn’t know why. I had so much rage & confusion due to social programming. She was not my preference but she met standards i didn’t even know i had wanted or needed. Men…DO THE WORK. It is our responsibility, privilege, and duty to become our best versions of ourselves to uplift our spouse; family; and everyone around us. I love you but God loves you more. 🤙🏾🤟🏾
Tony Gaskins & Pastor R.C Blakes are the ONLY two men I listen to and take ADVICE from!🙏🏽❤️ Phewwww, always PROFOUND gems from Tony...Just coming out of a relationship that Tony literally advised me to leave years ago, but I've finally walked away... This interview came right on time for me🙏🏽❤️
YES!!!! Following Tony and Bishop RC Blakes platforms have CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I used to listen to Stephan Speaks, but it started to occur to me that how can this man who's never been married, really be a real relationship coach??!!
@Twister_numba24 🎯🎯 Exactly! I actually went to high school with Stephan; he's always been great with giving advice from back then, but we're in our 40s now, and no marriage yet? Especially since he's really a good guy from what I remember... it does give me pause about taking his insight🤷🏽♀️
@@empress1081Wow!!!! Aint that something!???!! out of all the men that I've dated the three 3 men that have never been married; all three of them had mommy issues. There's definitely something going on with someone after a certain age if he does not want to be married as a male.
I’ve never dated a man who was spiritually aware of himself internally or emotionally connected to himself. I have waited to meet this type of man but I have yet to encounter one. And I think that’s the struggle for many women.
Words are powerful. I Luke your spirituality in this message is why I replied. Words to be used in having, in present& or in the future. Look back at your message e.g. "never" Keep working on you, you on the right track...Words are powerful
Tony Gaskins is the first relationship coach I have ever listened to and it started during the pandemic. I took the three B’s Tony talked about very seriously. I went back to grad school and got my master’s. I turned one room in my house into a gym and lost weight and got healthy. Also, I did the work from within and realized I chose a person to be in my life from an unhealed perspective so, I let him go, because the relationship was not serving me. Thank you guys for bringing him on.
He was the first relationship coach I started watching too and man in general. I truly believe God put his channel in my sights because the place I was in…it just had to be God 🙌🏾. And I’ve been watching him since.
Tony is the best coach out there. I have learned so much from him over the years listening to his videos. I appreciate his transparency and direct message.
11:42am 1:29:51 Pacific time Genea Parks from California I'm am proud to be learning these valuable self growth messages through Hardly Initiated. I am becoming a better me!❤
Tony is a wonderful example for all men because he's been the player and is now living as a good husband and can relate to both. He breaks down the mindsets of both as well.
Tony gaskins and RC Blake's got me through some tough times...I can't wait to to tune in. ❤ loving the new desires for development within myself. There's no scarcity here, new opportunities is awaiting.
Tony gonna change the energy in the room! He’s going to make you feel exposed and even a little uncomfortable! He doesn’t sugarcoat or speak that politically correct pandering cap! Bout time!!!! Bless Tribe up!! 🎉
As a married woman, I can wholeheartedly agree with all that was said today. I appreciate Tony Gaskins for speaking life into the hosts and into the audience. Praise GOD for wisdom!
I didn’t want to watch this podcast initially. It was toxic. When I saw Tony, I knew they were now headed in the right direction. I appreciate the growth and wisdom seeking. It’s a beautiful thing.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is the BEST CONVERSATION that I have EVER heard on this platform! God bless you gentleman for your humility and learning stance throughout this video! It was so pleasant to see black men talk about real challenges facing our world at large and to receive such a righteous message! God bless Tony, keep doing God's work!
Once I started watching Tony G I stopped watching everyone else. I feel like I’m having a conversation with my actual uncle whenever I listen to him. The world recognizing his level of realness and honesty actually is helping to restore my faith in humanity. Tony’s level of authenticity and integrity is VERY rarely appreciated these days. I’m sooooo happy to see this man growing in popularity. We need so many duplicates of THIS man.
I, Pamela Busch, being the devout Christian that I am, can unequivocally say this was the BEST podcast of Hardly Initiated that I have ever listened to! Brother Tony Gaskin blessed my sanctified soul with his wise counsel! To God be all the glory! May God bless all 3 of you young men and use you for His glory!!! GRATEFUL GRATEFUL GRATEFUL 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🎯🎯🎯❤️
Tony Gaskins was the very first relationship coach I watched. I’ve used some of his tactics and at 65 years old I only wish relationship coaches and UA-cam were around when I started dating. Fortunately, I had my Dad and my Mom who were also very young when they married and had my brother and I, so we kind of grew up together. So I had some pretty good coaching-my brother as well. However, I do not believe either one of us would have survived today’s dating world!
I am a single woman in a season of waiting, and this is exactly one of the places perfect for me to learn, grow & mature. I can tell you right now that after listening to your podcast from beginning to end, I AM SO FULL AND OVERFLOWING! Thank you so much for what you do! I’m proud of you!
Same here… this was a powerful episode. I’m so full… I’m literally about to take some time to just journal and process everything I received and continue to apply it to my life.
Typically, this show is not within my demographic range but I loved loved loved the interviews with Judge Lynn Tolyer. This interview is highly interesting as well. The interviewing style is really solid. They don't over talk the guest and leave breating room for him to speak. It's good to hear different perspectives that are well- balanced and not so far to the left or right.
Tony is the cream of the crop! Completely real and raw, straightforward and yet loving and walks with confidence and grace in his calling to help people
This conversation is literally a BLESSING! Tony thank you for this and continuing to impart good messages to us thru all the noise. Blessings to Tony and Sheri Gaskins.
As a 51 year old woman, he is speaking the truth. I've been delusional and felt yes he will choose me. Knowingly, I wasn't his type or pushing myself because, in my mind, I thought, look at me ( my body). I had no clue I wasn't his cup of tea. Self-love is where it starts. Please keep it 💯 with yourself
I just love Tysean’s heart. All of his questions in every episode I’ve watched (and I’ve seen almost all of them since the new show) exude how much he desires to grow and be the best man his future wife can have ❤
Tony learn to be humble. His humility is honest. He doesn't care if man judge him. He just doesn't want God to judge him in sin. To God be the glory. Keep it going Tony. 1 Love young brother ❤❤
This was a powerful episode. It really gave the formula of how to be an authentic, purpose-driven Godly individual. For so long, we’ve been influenced about how to conform to culture. Many of us have strived to look like this person and that person, how to imitate people and be a copycat, but not really taught how to be authentically who God called you to be. Some of the prayers I’ve prayed for years was answered from this one episode. Through watching this, God showed me it all starts with self-awareness, self-evaluation, fully connecting to the source (God), and really having an intimate relationship with God so I can fully understand who He’s called me to be.
This brother is an OG and it gives me hope for my daughters that good men still exists. I don't have to pray for them to marry someone like their dad, cos I'm so loved I pray my daughters meet a higher version of their dad. Watching this gives me hope that good men still exist.
A man of integrity, Tony Gaskin & R.C. Blakes is a part of my testimony in regards to being a better woman & understanding my values & standards doesn't have to be lowered in order to be bless with a great relationship.
This was excellent! Tony Gaskins spoke life into these young men and the audience. I have followed him for years. This interview makes me feel proud. Much love!
Tony has been such a blessing to me over the years. So grateful for the information and advice he gives. He tells no lies out here at all. Between Tony and RC Blakes, they won’t steer you wrong. God bless you and your family Tony!
R.C. Blakes is my spiritual father and Tony is my spiritual 🙏🏾 brother. I ❤️ listen to them both and I actually live the life both of them speak of. Celibate and single 6 years. One partner for over 18 years with my ex-husband. I have been single, happy, thriving, whole and heal since I walked our of my marriage in 2017.
@46:20 Hearing him call on his father who is physically present with him, then asking him about the Bible is just beyond heartwarming to me. Now I understand why he's such a great man.
The RELIEF I had listening to the Host acknowledge his mindset as an Ex-Red pill follower and what changed in his heart. I pray he and others will begin to see themselves through a healthier loving lens. Deconstruct social conditioning - thank You Tony Gaskin!
This was really good! God sent Tony on an assignment that day just to tell Tysean and Ryan they were chosen. God is using them. The last 7 minutes was his assignment. I started to tear up when he began to speak a prophetic word over them.
Those who have followed Tony Gaskins understands his knowlege and passion. These young men gleaned to his knowlege, you could feel there curoisty and desire to learn. Blessings to all !!
All of my exes need this video... I was never perfect, and I have grown and healed tremendously. The thing was I had to lead the men I was with and save them from their own past. None of them had dad's around and not the greatest relationships with their mothers. I realized I was looking for my own past in someone else to relate to, and I thought we could heal one another. Now I know better about myself and loving myself so that I can find my true love.
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE!! Mr Gaskins evoked all sorts of emotions in me. I had to share the video to my teenage sons, my husband…. and now he and coworkers will be watching/listening it as well. WELL DONE GUYS!!
I don’t even have enough words for how amazing this episode was. God has anointed Tony and his wife to heal men and relationships in this culture. Please also have RC Blakes on at some point. These men are anointed for our time. God showed me he is raising up a modern-day new Sons of Issachar, and Tony is one of them. I praise God for he and his wife’s ministry and obedience to bring the truth to the table. He’s going to free a lot of men if they’re willing to learn from him.
Tony brought it! Oh my goodness… the truth and honesty, wow. And you 2 MEN stood flat footed and bare to receive wisdom and constructive “critiques”. You both were brave and showed so much courage and confidence even just bringing Tony Gaskins on the platform… AWESOME! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
This is great information for single men like myself who conceptually agrees with most of what is spoken in this video…good to see black men having WHOLESOME peaceful dialogue…love it
Dope discussion. Been married 15 years, was married at 25, everything he's saying is on point. I do feel like character rather than marriage, should be the basis of respect for men
This conversation was raw and real but of course, I didn’t expect any different from Tony Gaskins. Thank you both for having the courage to be open and provide a space for Tony to speak on your platform. I am sure it may not feel good to have a mirror facing right at you with nothing but your reflection staring back, the good, bad and ugly but it’s in those moments where we can choose to heal. Painful but rewarding… May this message reach millions and cause a shift for the greater good. Bless you all and thank you for blessing me with this podcast.
I watch Tony Gaskins because he has integrity and honesty in his advice. He tells it straight from a man’s perspective. He has a beautiful wife and family that he values, and lives his life with intention. It’s a wonderful thing!! ❤❤
I listen to Tony on a very consistent basis as he is the only coach I retain information from. The no sugar coating approach to love and relationships has brought me through some really hard times in my healing journey.
HE IS FULL OF WISDOM!! HE POURED!! I feel like this Podcast continues to get better and better each episode dropped. It is valuable to me and I am grateful to have come across this podcast 5 to 6 months ago.
Thank you for having Tony Gaskin on your platform. He shared a lot of wisdom from God for the two men to practice and the world. Tony continue to be a light. Thank you, Jehovah, for loving your people and using people to reveal your wisdom for change.
Bravo, Tony! I feel that this is a mandatory viewing for anyone single or married, but especially my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Tony should really be more popular than he is, but because he's counter cultural and spirit led. Thank you guys for this podcast.
OMG!! Ryan and Tysean! First off I just wanna say that I LOVE your show! I literally SCREAMED when I saw this notification w/Tony Gaskins. I was planning to send you guys a message requesting him. I'm an avid viewer & supporter of your show & have been following Tony for years. Tony & both of you are some of the realest out here on UA-cam, and I've been waiting for this collab for a while. I've been a subscriber for close to a year, and I've shared your platform with all of my close friends. YOUR SHOW IS AMAZING AND NEEDED. Every show is excellent, from Wall Street Trapper's amazing story, to Pastor Jamal Bryant, to Jeremy Anderson, & so many more! They're all speaking what's needed in today's world, especially within the black community. Thank you for blessing us with this awesome platform. I will be joining the membership very soon! ❤️
This is thee best conversation on the internet and all need to hear...Tony is a Godsend and the 2 other gentleman are phenomenal interviewers...u can NOT deny being spiritually fed...LOVE this 🙏🏽❣️
This is one of the best, most informative, and beautiful interviews I have ever seen. May God continue to bless all of you, your families, and future families as well. Mr. Tony Gaskin, I'm so glad you came onto my feed. Your commentary is extraordinary ! You are appreciated!❤
This discussion was so powerful! Breath of fresh air to hear mature grown men speak on these topics. I was struggling submitting to my fiancé. He’s a godly man and a good man and I started listening to Tony and other MARRIED men online really helped me see it in a positive light and helped me understand what submission and respect means to a man versus listening to some other “fake coaches”
Thank you God for giving Mr. Gaskin to this show. He has given these men truth... Now let's see how they show up on this Pod cast... who are they going to bring on after this? How will they show up what will be there message? Food(wisdom) for thought.... Blessings

My wife adores me & for years i didn’t know why. I had so much rage & confusion due to social programming. She was not my preference but she met standards i didn’t even know i had wanted or needed. Men…DO THE WORK. It is our responsibility, privilege, and duty to become our best versions of ourselves to uplift our spouse; family; and everyone around us. I love you but God loves you more. 🤙🏾🤟🏾
Much respect💪🏾
@@83ttaylor thank you.
dang your wife deserves better. hope she finds it.
@@tsionmesfin4889 I gasped. Men really do settle. Have mercy.
What is meant by "she was not preference but she met standards"? Can you elaborate? thanks 🦋
Tony Gaskins & Pastor R.C Blakes are the ONLY two men I listen to and take ADVICE from!🙏🏽❤️
Phewwww, always PROFOUND gems from Tony...Just coming out of a relationship that Tony literally advised me to leave years ago, but I've finally walked away... This interview came right on time for me🙏🏽❤️
YES!!!! Following Tony and Bishop RC Blakes platforms have CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I used to listen to Stephan Speaks, but it started to occur to me that how can this man who's never been married, really be a real relationship coach??!!
@Twister_numba24 🎯🎯 Exactly! I actually went to high school with Stephan; he's always been great with giving advice from back then, but we're in our 40s now, and no marriage yet? Especially since he's really a good guy from what I remember... it does give me pause about taking his insight🤷🏽♀️
@@empress1081Wow!!!! Aint that something!???!! out of all the men that I've dated the three 3 men that have never been married; all three of them had mommy issues. There's definitely something going on with someone after a certain age if he does not want to be married as a male.
@@Twister_numba24 Facts!🎯
@@empress1081you can have an image of being a good man in the public dont mean behind close doors they are.
Now this is content! A man who walks the walk and talks the talk and still working to remain whole! It don’t get no better than this!
I enjoyed watching this podcast with Tony Gaskins!
Me too❤
Whew!!! Tony ain't hold back punches. He's holding accountable our favorite rappers, speakers, preachers, and comedians. Protect this man at all cost.
I’ve never dated a man who was spiritually aware of himself internally or emotionally connected to himself. I have waited to meet this type of man but I have yet to encounter one. And I think that’s the struggle for many women.
Words are powerful. I Luke your spirituality in this message is why I replied. Words to be used in having, in present& or in the future.
Look back at your message e.g. "never"
Keep working on you, you on the right track...Words are powerful
He low key mentored these gentlemen and they interviewed him ❤
Tony Gaskins is the first relationship coach I have ever listened to and it started during the pandemic. I took the three B’s Tony talked about very seriously. I went back to grad school and got my master’s. I turned one room in my house into a gym and lost weight and got healthy. Also, I did the work from within and realized I chose a person to be in my life from an unhealed perspective so, I let him go, because the relationship was not serving me. Thank you guys for bringing him on.
He was the first relationship coach I started watching too and man in general. I truly believe God put his channel in my sights because the place I was in…it just had to be God 🙌🏾. And I’ve been watching him since.
I love that for you 😊
@beajaa1178 pls what is the name of that teaching
Tony is the best coach out there. I have learned so much from him over the years listening to his videos. I appreciate his transparency and direct message.
Him and @Stephanspeaks frfr
The absolute best 👌 ❤
@@The_Love_ClinicYes, I was going to comment that. I listen to Stephan Speaks. He’s a good.
Point blank period
Same here.
11:42am 1:29:51 Pacific time Genea Parks from California I'm am proud to be learning these valuable self growth messages through Hardly Initiated. I am becoming a better me!❤
Tony is a wonderful example for all men because he's been the player and is now living as a good husband and can relate to both. He breaks down the mindsets of both as well.
Tony gaskins and RC Blake's got me through some tough times...I can't wait to to tune in. ❤ loving the new desires for development within myself. There's no scarcity here, new opportunities is awaiting.
Me too 😩😩
Me too 😩🙏🏾
I just got familiar with Mr. Blakes (Pastor).
Same 🙏❤️
Yesssss RC Blake has been so instrumental in my dating life!!! I’m hoping they’ll have him here soon
Tony gonna change the energy in the room! He’s going to make you feel exposed and even a little uncomfortable! He doesn’t sugarcoat or speak that politically correct pandering cap! Bout time!!!! Bless Tribe up!! 🎉
Indeed!!
As a married woman, I can wholeheartedly agree with all that was said today. I appreciate Tony Gaskins for speaking life into the hosts and into the audience. Praise GOD for wisdom!
I didn’t want to watch this podcast initially. It was toxic. When I saw Tony, I knew they were now headed in the right direction. I appreciate the growth and wisdom seeking. It’s a beautiful thing.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Same.
This is the BEST CONVERSATION that I have EVER heard on this platform! God bless you gentleman for your humility and learning stance throughout this video! It was so pleasant to see black men talk about real challenges facing our world at large and to receive such a righteous message! God bless Tony, keep doing God's work!
We definitely need a live session with Mr. Gaskins... he bring it real, raw and respectful!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Once I started watching Tony G I stopped watching everyone else. I feel like I’m having a conversation with my actual uncle whenever I listen to him. The world recognizing his level of realness and honesty actually is helping to restore my faith in humanity. Tony’s level of authenticity and integrity is VERY rarely appreciated these days. I’m sooooo happy to see this man growing in popularity. We need so many duplicates of THIS man.
They’re not ready for Thee Tony Gaskins !!!!!
So many layers to what he said, you really gotta keep up 🚀
I, Pamela Busch, being the devout Christian that I am, can unequivocally say this was the BEST podcast of Hardly Initiated that I have ever listened to! Brother Tony Gaskin blessed my sanctified soul with his wise counsel! To God be all the glory! May God bless all 3 of you young men and use you for His glory!!! GRATEFUL GRATEFUL GRATEFUL 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🎯🎯🎯❤️
Mr.Tony is so blunt and streight to the point with it.And that's exactly how we need to hear knowledge. Thank you all for all you do.
Tony Gaskins was the very first relationship coach I watched. I’ve used some of his tactics and at 65 years old I only wish relationship coaches and UA-cam were around when I started dating. Fortunately, I had my Dad and my Mom who were also very young when they married and had my brother and I, so we kind of grew up together. So I had some pretty good coaching-my brother as well. However, I do not believe either one of us would have survived today’s dating world!
@sonjad47. I agree with you. I'm in that ERA as well.
The most intelligent, truthful and honest guess so far! 💪🏿👍🏿🔥🔥❤️
He was my first too. He's awesome! I follow him everywhere 😁
I am a single woman in a season of waiting, and this is exactly one of the places perfect for me to learn, grow & mature. I can tell you right now that after listening to your podcast from beginning to end, I AM SO FULL AND OVERFLOWING! Thank you so much for what you do! I’m proud of you!
Thank You Jesus!A God Sent Man,This is A Man Of God That Stands For The Righteousness and Truth From The Inner Man.Keep Teaching The Gospel.
FACTS!!!!
Check out Kingdom Single, Kingdom Woman, and Kingdom Man those 📚 by Tony Evans will bless u.
Same here… this was a powerful episode. I’m so full… I’m literally about to take some time to just journal and process everything I received and continue to apply it to my life.
My alarm is set! Yes, another great guest!!! 🎉
🔥🔥
Preach Men of God!!!.😇🙌🔥
Typically, this show is not within my demographic range but I loved loved loved the interviews with Judge Lynn Tolyer. This interview is highly interesting as well. The interviewing style is really solid. They don't over talk the guest and leave breating room for him to speak. It's good to hear different perspectives that are well- balanced and not so far to the left or right.
Priscilla Shirer...is it even possible or Rich Paul
😂
@@rhongiastuckey427 pp
Tony is the cream of the crop! Completely real and raw, straightforward and yet loving and walks with confidence and grace in his calling to help people
This conversation is literally a BLESSING! Tony thank you for this and continuing to impart good messages to us thru all the noise. Blessings to Tony and Sheri Gaskins.
As a 51 year old woman, he is speaking the truth. I've been delusional and felt yes he will choose me. Knowingly, I wasn't his type or pushing myself because, in my mind, I thought, look at me ( my body). I had no clue I wasn't his cup of tea. Self-love is where it starts. Please keep it 💯 with yourself
hello @beautyblack6931 hope you're doing well, would you say it made you more happier ?
@miky8913 The sad part is that I'm not sure. I am more at peace.
I just love Tysean’s heart. All of his questions in every episode I’ve watched (and I’ve seen almost all of them since the new show) exude how much he desires to grow and be the best man his future wife can have ❤
Right!!! I would marry him and live a great life in a heartbreak! Tony was not playing 😅!
I agree
True, I’m proud 🥹 f both of them!
Yes, he has grown a lot. Much respect to both young men 🙏🏽✨
@@The_Love_Clinic What? You would live a great life in heart break?
Finally on a podcast where Tony can be completely honest and true to his message.
Godly wisdom flowing all through this...thank you so much Tony. And thank you Tysean and Ryan for this episode.
Wow this was beautiful
Yesssss
This was beautiful ❤❤❤ I thank God for this show..
Tony learn to be humble. His humility is honest. He doesn't care if man judge him. He just doesn't want God to judge him in sin. To God be the glory. Keep it going Tony. 1 Love young brother ❤❤
Yes it was❤
He is probably faking it.
You guys all did a great job and should definitely strive to bring on and hear from real men, who are actually faithful, married and successful.
This was so good. I’m proud of you Tony Gaskins! You represented Christ well! Thank you Hardly Initiated for this episode!
HALLELUJAH TO THAT❤❤❤
This was a powerful episode. It really gave the formula of how to be an authentic, purpose-driven Godly individual. For so long, we’ve been influenced about how to conform to culture. Many of us have strived to look like this person and that person, how to imitate people and be a copycat, but not really taught how to be authentically who God called you to be. Some of the prayers I’ve prayed for years was answered from this one episode. Through watching this, God showed me it all starts with self-awareness, self-evaluation, fully connecting to the source (God), and really having an intimate relationship with God so I can fully understand who He’s called me to be.
This brother is an OG and it gives me hope for my daughters that good men still exists. I don't have to pray for them to marry someone like their dad, cos I'm so loved I pray my daughters meet a higher version of their dad. Watching this gives me hope that good men still exist.
I love that! You set the standard and they can only go up from there
A man of integrity, Tony Gaskin & R.C. Blakes is a part of my testimony in regards to being a better woman & understanding my values & standards doesn't have to be lowered in order to be bless with a great relationship.
My life coach has entered the building!! "The Tony Gaskins"🎉🎉. This will be #EPIC
This was excellent! Tony Gaskins spoke life into these young men and the audience. I have followed him for years. This interview makes me feel proud. Much love!
Point blank periodd!
BLOCCKEED is my fav
Broke busted and disgusted, loose booties lol he is hilarious!
@@syedagreen9978😂
Ok! Blessed tribe check in! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Peer eeh odddd
Listening to this one year later, but it’s right on time for this season of my life. Great Great Podcast 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
Tony gaskin and Rc Blakes are the ones I gleam from cause they walk the walk and talk talk
I am sooooo ready for this guest. I honor him and respect him dearly. Hands down.
Tony has been such a blessing to me over the years. So grateful for the information and advice he gives. He tells no lies out here at all. Between Tony and RC Blakes, they won’t steer you wrong. God bless you and your family Tony!
Exactly! They're both the real deal!
Yes , I listen to both these men every week .
Amen 🙏
R.C. Blakes is my spiritual father and Tony is my spiritual 🙏🏾 brother. I ❤️ listen to them both and I actually live the life both of them speak of. Celibate and single 6 years. One partner for over 18 years with my ex-husband. I have been single, happy, thriving, whole and heal since I walked our of my marriage in 2017.
Yess!!! Tony needed to be on here!!! A real man of God that is married and changed his whole life!!! Thank you Jesus!!❤😂🎉🎉❤❤
@46:20 Hearing him call on his father who is physically present with him, then asking him about the Bible is just beyond heartwarming to me. Now I understand why he's such a great man.
The RELIEF I had listening to the Host acknowledge his mindset as an Ex-Red pill follower and what changed in his heart. I pray he and others will begin to see themselves through a healthier loving lens. Deconstruct social conditioning - thank You Tony Gaskin!
Yes to this! TG is a real one!
Cant wait, a few months ago I left a message on this channel and suggested Tony Gaskins!!!!
This was really good! God sent Tony on an assignment that day just to tell Tysean and Ryan they were chosen. God is using them. The last 7 minutes was his assignment. I started to tear up when he began to speak a prophetic word over them.
Those who have followed Tony Gaskins understands his knowlege and passion. These young men gleaned to his knowlege, you could feel there curoisty and desire to learn. Blessings to all !!
All of my exes need this video... I was never perfect, and I have grown and healed tremendously. The thing was I had to lead the men I was with and save them from their own past. None of them had dad's around and not the greatest relationships with their mothers. I realized I was looking for my own past in someone else to relate to, and I thought we could heal one another. Now I know better about myself and loving myself so that I can find my true love.
I pray this message goes very far and that God protects Tony and his family while he shares this wisdom!!
Same 🙏🏽
I have been following Tony for years. He is the real deal. Bring him back.
Yes!
I have never heard of Tony Gaskins, but based on everyone's comments, I am definitely looking forward to being introduced to him in this episode!
Please binge watch his videos!!!
He gives it to you straight!
You won’t regret it ! Your life is about to change big time ! 🙏❤️
Get into it! He’s the truth! Changed the course of my life literally!
He is pretty cool. He gives really good guidance and information to men and women.
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE!! Mr Gaskins evoked all sorts of emotions in me. I had to share the video to my teenage sons, my husband…. and now he and coworkers will be watching/listening it as well. WELL DONE GUYS!!
I wish there were more men like Tony Gaskins. Whole in all areas in life ❤❤❤
I don’t even have enough words for how amazing this episode was. God has anointed Tony and his wife to heal men and relationships in this culture. Please also have RC Blakes on at some point. These men are anointed for our time. God showed me he is raising up a modern-day new Sons of Issachar, and Tony is one of them. I praise God for he and his wife’s ministry and obedience to bring the truth to the table. He’s going to free a lot of men if they’re willing to learn from him.
It’s so awesome to see Tony Gaskins on Hardly Initiated! He gone tell the unadulterated truth 🔥🔥🔥
And that’s exactly what is needed in these last evil and wicked days ….the unadulterated TRUTH.
Tony brought it! Oh my goodness… the truth and honesty, wow. And you 2 MEN stood flat footed and bare to receive wisdom and constructive “critiques”. You both were brave and showed so much courage and confidence even just bringing Tony Gaskins on the platform… AWESOME! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
This is great information for single men like myself who conceptually agrees with most of what is spoken in this video…good to see black men having WHOLESOME peaceful dialogue…love it
This is a truely abundant man. He is actually lead by a positive force. I never gotten this feeling from any other speaker/ coach.
Dope discussion. Been married 15 years, was married at 25, everything he's saying is on point. I do feel like character rather than marriage, should be the basis of respect for men
💯
Agree...some people are called to be single
Omg yall was listening! I said I would not subscribe unless Tony or Pastor Blakes came on the show. Yass can’t wait to hear this one
This conversation was raw and real but of course, I didn’t expect any different from Tony Gaskins. Thank you both for having the courage to be open and provide a space for Tony to speak on your platform. I am sure it may not feel good to have a mirror facing right at you with nothing but your reflection staring back, the good, bad and ugly but it’s in those moments where we can choose to heal. Painful but rewarding…
May this message reach millions and cause a shift for the greater good. Bless you all and thank you for blessing me with this podcast.
I watch Tony Gaskins because he has integrity and honesty in his advice. He tells it straight from a man’s perspective. He has a beautiful wife and family that he values, and lives his life with intention. It’s a wonderful thing!! ❤❤
It's so true cause women Naturally reciprocate what her man is showing. She is designed to do that.
Most definitely!
Absolutely happy to see that you guys brought our beloved TG on your platform.🙏🏽 He’s a true man of God and wise beyond his years.
I listen to Tony on a very consistent basis as he is the only coach I retain information from. The no sugar coating approach to love and relationships has brought me through some really hard times in my healing journey.
HE IS FULL OF WISDOM!! HE POURED!!
I feel like this Podcast continues to get better and better each episode dropped. It is valuable to me and I am grateful to have come across this podcast 5 to 6 months ago.
Thank you for having Tony Gaskin on your platform. He shared a lot of wisdom from God for the two men to practice and the world. Tony continue to be a light. Thank you, Jehovah, for loving your people and using people to reveal your wisdom for change.
Bravo, Tony! I feel that this is a mandatory viewing for anyone single or married, but especially my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Tony should really be more popular than he is, but because he's counter cultural and spirit led. Thank you guys for this podcast.
Yessss!!! I’m ready for the “nuances and caveats”. This is a good intro but we have to bring Tony on live next cause he keeps it 💯
Only the blessed tribe know about them nuances and caveats 😂😂😂
Yep! Blessed Tribe stand up!!
This man has alot of my respect. He is such a great leader for young men.
OMG!! Ryan and Tysean! First off I just wanna say that I LOVE your show! I literally SCREAMED when I saw this notification w/Tony Gaskins. I was planning to send you guys a message requesting him. I'm an avid viewer & supporter of your show & have been following Tony for years. Tony & both of you are some of the realest out here on UA-cam, and I've been waiting for this collab for a while. I've been a subscriber for close to a year, and I've shared your platform with all of my close friends. YOUR SHOW IS AMAZING AND NEEDED. Every show is excellent, from Wall Street Trapper's amazing story, to Pastor Jamal Bryant, to Jeremy Anderson, & so many more! They're all speaking what's needed in today's world, especially within the black community. Thank you for blessing us with this awesome platform. I will be joining the membership very soon! ❤️
I felt the same way
This is thee best conversation on the internet and all need to hear...Tony is a Godsend and the 2 other gentleman are phenomenal interviewers...u can NOT deny being spiritually fed...LOVE this 🙏🏽❣️
Brilliant is a strong word, not to be used frivolously; however, Tony is brilliant. What a heartfelt, enlightened conversation. Thank you.
Tony is a real one..very wise and more should listen to him 💯
Very excited. I wasn't talking them all the way serious until TG came through to be honest.
Omg I said the same thing ! 😂😂
That part sis!!! Tony needs to be on all these platforms!!
OMG me too!!!
Tony is the real deal! I’ve been listening to him for years. As a woman in my 20s, he’s essential!
This conversation was very enlightening and necessary. Thank you
This is one of the best, most informative, and beautiful interviews I have ever seen. May God continue to bless all of you, your families, and future families as well. Mr. Tony Gaskin, I'm so glad you came onto my feed. Your commentary is extraordinary ! You are appreciated!❤
I’m so proud and I’m only 10 seconds in 🤣 we don’t play about Tony! Real man right here. Know them by their fruits 🙏
“Run me my check, I’m married!!” - Tony
Super excited for this one!!!
The only relationship coach I follow. Proud to be a Blessed Tribe member of TG brand . Nothing but valuable guidance, direction, wisdom ❤.

Blessed tribe 😊🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
God is Faithful! God be the Glory! Great content Brethrens! Peace and Blessings indefinitely!🔥🔥🔥
This discussion was so powerful! Breath of fresh air to hear mature grown men speak on these topics. I was struggling submitting to my fiancé. He’s a godly man and a good man and I started listening to Tony and other MARRIED men online really helped me see it in a positive light and helped me understand what submission and respect means to a man versus listening to some other “fake coaches”
Ya’ll some real ones for having Tony on! ❤️
Let’s go!! Tony Gaskins is the real deal! So glad he was able to be on the podcast and drop nuggets and wisdom!!
Thank you God for giving Mr. Gaskin to this show. He has given these men truth... Now let's see how they show up on this Pod cast... who are they going to bring on after this?
How will they show up what will be there message?
Food(wisdom) for thought....
Blessings
@@borntoinspire578 right that's the real question! Both of those men (Hardly Inti.) have said some awful things, the black community has enough hatred especially towards women.
TONY GASKINS ALWAYS ON POINT 100%
Mr, Gaskin you are so correct in what you are saying. If you lead with Love you get it back respectfully
