I'm 100 with Ace because he is speaking from a standpoint in the way of the world. God created sex for marriage, but we don't live in a world like that, and I wish that we do.
Totally got Tony's back. Let's not confuse conversational opinions for truth. It's facts. Stop cutting him off..it's not religion either. It's the way God set this system for us up. My opinion.
@@Savingrace457 he is, I agree. But this is where Romans 12:2 comes to play. It says….And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Ace’s Closing: “I like confusion and talk for talk sake. You’re uniformed Tony bc you don’t like listening to everyone’s pointless perspective”. Ace is literally the blind leading the blinder.
Christian women, I hope you're paying attention to this conversation. Married culture vs boyfriend/girlfriend culture. Choose which goal you're moving towards and date accordingly.
You have to go through one to get to the other. So what's wrong with learning how to date without hurting yourself or others? Dating does not have to involve sex or compromising your morals. I agree with Tony alot but he's rather narrow minded on how things are vs how they should be. If you're going to get people to come to Christ and want to do the right thing then speaking with them not at them & not shoving your ways and opinions on others. Him folding his arms & telling Ace to take the base out of his voice speaks volumes on his willingness to listen & accept his words. Ijs.
He said “I grew up religious too” that’s the problem, a lot of us grew up in church, that doesn’t mean a thing if we aren’t following the principles of Jesus Christ.
I feel that I think what he means by it is he gets where he’s coming from but there’s more to it and it’s important to speak to more than just one particular group or ideology and I would even go so far as saying the goal would ultimately be to get us all on the same page when it comes to the intentions of dating but in order to do that, we have to appeal to more than just a specific group
@@AgainstTheGrain1991 ABSOLUTELY NOT! For those of us who have a relationship with Jesus, we only believe in GOD'S WAY PERIOD! God's people do not follow the ways of the world! We are called to be different from the world! The Lord says in His word that whoever loves the world and claims to love God is a liar, period, and those are GOD'S WORDS, not mine! The world crucified Jesus because they HATED THE TRUTH, just like some of you people today HATE the truth, and you hate the truth because YOU LOVE living sinful NASTY lifestyles, and you do not want to hear that it is WRONG! PERIOD! It doesn't matter how much the world changes, GOD DOES NOT CHANGE! So there is no other RIGHT way, except for God's way!

Tony is so right, I went to one of their events in Chicago “Tonight’s Conversation” and it was pointless. There was no purpose, no solution, no take away. The panel depended on the audience to navigate the conversation. It was essentially pointless. And now I understand why. The sensationalism is what led me to buy the ticket.
Appreciate this comment bc I truly wanted to go when they were in Nashville but had to work. I'm sooo thankful that my time wasn't wasted. Marketing is a beast bc that's the only reason I was going to purchase. Watching this clip said enough
I've only watched clips here & there and could tell that it is a "pointless" event. It's entertainment/something to do. The forum is a live talk show and you can get their info by watching talk shows on TV or YT. No one ever walked away from watching a talk show with a deeper meaning of life/love/relationships. We all indeed come from different walks of life and experiences, there is always a common thread because we're human in search of the same things at the core of who we are -that's by God's design. So, while I don't have to walk step by step in your shoes I'm sure we'd have no issue relating to matters of the heart & what our spirit man yearns for. People should save their money & put it toward something that could yield results.
If you are unhealed you shouldn't be dating cause you out here hurting other people. TG thank you for sticking with the truth. Do whats best for the community 🎉
Tony Gaskin made some valid points and everything he stated is actual and factual!!!! I tuned into Ace Metaphor's, "Tonight's Conversation" podcast for a few episodes and instantly felt confused and the conversations were very cringy and unsettling. I just can't entertain nonsense and what's the purpose of having a platform if it doesn't produce any substance? How is it beneficial for the black community? Like Tony said, we are struggling as a black community, and we need to produce information that will help build healthy families and marriages. "Tonight's Conversation" is part of the problem!!!
continue to stand your ground for God Tony Tony you was calm about it as long as you did what God wanted you to do they can’t touch what God anointed period
Yeah I know right. That was crazy. And even though Tony was drinking that water to calm the storm in his belly from erupting, when he told Ace to drop that "base" out his voice!! He had every right to say that. Frfr.
ACE is proof that all these UA-camrs should not have a platform. They are just in it for the exposure and money because saying all voices matter is how we ended up in this situation of anyone doing anything and justifying
There are married people on Ace’s panel and even Stephen Speaks who is a Christian. I went to the live podcast show and was grieved tbh. The live show was like a club. With the music playing and the twerk contest. Then the questions that were selected to be asked were childish and overly sexual. It was clear that Ace and most of the panel live in the world. The married woman and Stephen Speaks “ironically” left during the overly sexual segment. I also noticed Stephen looked visibly uncomfortable during some of the questions. The questions that were even a sprinkle biblically-related Ace would ask the married woman or Stephen to answer. Which showed me that Ace is not coming from a biblical background and doesn’t want to. He does promote the world and he promotes sex. I had to repent for being blinded and interested in the live show. I believe there’s a reason why Ace blocks out cursing on UA-cam. In person he was cursing so much and drunk. Tony and Ace have different beliefs and audiences so this “debate” would never come to an agreement.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I wanted to go when it came to my city but I missed it. But...when I watch the videos, it always seems so loud and seems like a party atmosphere. Like a lot of confusion, which breeds more confusion.
@@visionspoetry9164 yeahhh if you’re a Believer and you want to date/marry with God as the standard, don’t go lol. It’ll be a waste of your money & time.
Ace is making 10 times what Tony is and Tony wants $ also I think many of Tony followers don’t want to admit that Tony likes money Tony is also of the world his fans need to admit it
The fact that Ace cannot even let Tony get a FULL thought out not only proves his disrespect for Tony, but also confirms his Emotional Intelligence! I would never tune in to that man’s “ rhetoric”
21:15 this what Ace is saying right here is the problem right now in this world. Just because people are doing it, doesn’t mean it’s right. Too many are living life in a way that’s taking them straight to hell. Life is for a purpose but not many understand this! Heal first then decide to date.
I agree with Tony. Only people in healthy marriages should be giving advice about marriage. The black community doesn’t need the other voices. Look at the data on our marriages and out of wedlock children
Exactly the way he’s addressing things isn’t working the way we are living gives us bad results which means it’s wrong we needs to do better we need someone who’s truly a leader.
YES TO TONY. If you TEACH BLACK CHILDREN you will see that exactly what he is saying is what is needed!! Our black children are suffering SOOO much and it’s their parents and the culture we have let permeate that has ruined them!
Yup the other dude is as much of a “relationship coach” as an insect is a bear. And I can’t with all this fake phony “brother” 10times in every sentence
People should not be dating to find themselves! The best way to find yourself is to remain single and build focus on building a relationship with yourself!
@@susandodson1234 what should Tony have done? Just taken it? Ace's voice and mannerisms were emotional and very passive aggressive. People can demand respectful dialogue.
Everything TG said was on point. I'm 34, and if you are living this life and dating, you should be dating with the purpose of marriage. However, this generation is so lost with social media, etc., that almost everything he says will go over people's heads.
Yup! Absolutely 🎯💯💥 we must continue to pray for all lost souls. They really were not taught this. The Bible speaks on those perishing because of the lack of know. Tony giving the knowledge and of course so many will reject it and say I’m a Christian. The Bible does speak on Jesus telling so may to depart from HIM, HE never knew them! I pray they stop following these norms and hunger and thirst for our Creator that their destiny is saved from the disaster they are headed to in Jesus Mighty Name. They calling what should be a relationship a religion.
Tony is correct!!!! Of course its based principles... it's God's way not Tony's way... he keep saying Tony's way... use your platform to lead your people to marriage, especially our black culture, we need voices thats going to lead us to build positive healthy marriages... men are uncomfortable about marriage we need men like Tony to bring our men to being intentional about marriage!!!!
This comment shows that you don’t listen to Ace Metaphor platform because he does offer that. Which is why he made the comment about having healthy married people on his panel. To help guide you or show you internal things that you have to work on before actually meeting your equally yoked partner.
@@duffessence what I can respond to is Ace response to his stance in dating in today's society. I don't have to listen to him to know his values are different and that's ok, this interview told me all I needed to know... I've come across his tiktok and granted he's entertaining and he has valid points but his stance and values are different, which he has stated out of his own mouth... which I can appreciate that but I stand with Tony dating for marriage is the only way and that's God's way. He may speak on a healthy relationship but is he promoting healthy marriages..., is he preparing his audience for marriage etc... or is he for what society want him to be ( which he said he was) so that is what I am referring to... he's a dope speaker in his own right.
This debate made it very clear why intentional dating is a better for women spirituality, mentally, physically and emotionally. I feel like the recreational dating that Ace mentioned is the reason we have so many women who were misled, abused, and cheated on by men “trying to find themselves” and as a society we end up with fatherless children who will only repeat these vicious cycles as adults.
Tony is standing on God’s Word. Not everyone will live this way. They may call themselves Christians but the Bible says many will say lord lord and Jesus will say he never knew them. The Bible says live holy. This applies to every area of life yes even dating. Yall want to date and live according to your flesh but then wonder why you keep dealing with heart ache, disappointment and pain
@@bigamemphis10 have you ever read the Bible? Jesus definitely put people in their place when it was needed🤷♀️ Even Peter in the Bible didn’t play that lol I’m just saying
Get him Tony!! Casual relationships leads to risky consequences. Dating is not experimental and for healing which leads to a heartbreak if the person's expectations and values are higher than the other person. Ace is missing the whole point.
Tony G is standing on business and God’s word. Ace shows are just entertainment and influencers speaking on their perspective but still have no results. Once again, if everyone has a different perspective who is really right? He literally just said dating can be for finding yourself or entertaining purposes. Dating is not therapy sir. Principle will stand over “perspective” any day.
TONY IS RIGHT. Listen to married people when it comes to relationships. They’re at the epitome form of a relationship, lifelong commitment. Listening to anyone else, its not advice but information on their experience. We need more men like Tony
I love Tony’s message it helped me hold my boyfriend accountable, who is now my husband,❤❤I will always be grateful that I found your message at I time when I was lost. God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Tony has a great point, with a poor delivery. He keeps cutting everyone off, including the men in his studio. Then when it was Ace’s turn to finally speak, all of a sudden the ego was bruised because of “bass in the voice”. As a Christian, my earnest prayer is that we learn how to deliver the gospel in a better way. And not just spew it out with an attitude, because that seed will not fall on good soil. Sincerely heartbreaking 😢
I would truly like to add respectfully that I started my self love journey with Tonight’s Conversation with Ace Metaphor and his panel of therapist and diversity on relationships. It really allowed me to see myself in the relationships and the roles others played in my life. Ace showed meGod working in my life. I know that it’s up to the individual person as to what they take away from the content. I now know what to look for in a healthy relationship due to Ace Metaphor that has now lead me back to Christ. Your thought process is not completely wrong but that judgement in your voice is the reason why people don’t want to come to Christ.
The problem with people who overemphasize subjectivity is that, in their cowardice and dishonesty, they never acknowledge that not all ideas of life (and of dating in particular) are conducive to a well-functioning society: we might all have different approaches to dating, but not all of these approaches will lend themselves to healthy relationships. Thus, any community-oriented thought leader should not shy away from saying, "Right is right, and wrong is wrong!". Only trifling people benefit from cultural ambiguity, as they can always hide behind the pretense of subjectivity to not be accountable for anything. Is it any wonder, then, that many people nowadays are so open about cheating? After all, maybe faithfulness is not everyone's "truth"!
As a man that lives with purpose, I attest that Tony is absolutely right you can’t placate to everyone especially when you over 30. I Tell my lady this all the time.
Tony got intimidated in this conversation, and it’s unfortunate. Telling a man to take the base out of his voice is reflective of how intimidated he got because he was unable to articulate his argument in a professional. If a man has no rebuttal it’s best to safely agree to disagree.
@@alyu9337you proved his point. Ace is adding to the division and separation. There’s no solution or advice to resolve. It’s always about being a side chick
Can you imagine someone with no results telling Tony Gaskin "do a little more homework!" It's like someone with a GED telling someone with a Masters to "do a little more homework." In a deck of cards, Ace is definitely a joke, here! Lol!
💯 Ace is a joke, everything he says makes no sense. That comment of “do more homework” had me laughing at him, what a clown. Also, he said TG was being rude? Ace was rude with his constant iPhone scrolling & texting.
I watch them both. I have NEVER seen a clip from the conversation about no postpartum, r mental health lol it’s always about being a side chick or side dude and Tony’s message is strictly and specifically about relationships leading to marriage. Two different messages period
Ace metaphor and his platform has been extremely helpful to my personal development. I'm married, leaving a toxic relationship at times verbally abusive and negatively impacting our kids. I have learned through Ace I can love and support my husband as a friend and leave him. I have learned love is not the be all and end all and that love is not enough and can be used as a manipulative tool by the wrong people. Regardless of your relationship/dating priorities, you need to know how to protect yourself and your standards are your protection. That advice can align with a person whether they are seeking a religious marriage or common law or just dating not looking for serious (understanding how your actions impact someone who wants more). I agree Tony Gaskins is out of touch with today's reality.
I believe society is out touch because now that we have social media I think it dictates more how we should be living you know the trend today is thus next 2Months it's something and use watch ace whenever he came across.
Tony's directness and transparency are truly refreshing. His insights on manhood, relationships, and much more are not only accurate but also deeply needed in today's world. It's inspiring to see a Black man genuinely walking the walk and preaching the word of the Maker. Although I seldom comment online, I feel compelled to share how much I appreciate Tony's contributions
Don't like the way Tony gaskins is being cut off . Seems too much like trying to create hostile conversation for video content. Not respectful. No good.
Last comment, Ace was way more respectful than these comments are saying, Tony Gaskins is not even LISTENING to him because he has blocked off receiving any messaging from him. And for him to tell him he is getting too much base that's so whack. Smdh
Right and use watch ace when he first came on the scene maybe about 4yr ago .I believe he was more humble but believe a little success has gotten to him just a bit .His whole demeanor has changed.
I’ll never understand Ace. Marriage is based on Godly principle. Why would any ungodly person desire marriage? If you don’t desire Christ, marriage is not necessary in your life.
These “influencers” do that with every area in life; money, people dynamics, marriages, career, etc. They exploit Godly principles and rename it as their game but make it all inclusive so sins are acceptable. Some of the influencers don’t recognize that their “game” is based on the foundational principles that God created in the beginning.
I never could understand that myself...The world will adopt religious traditions, yet be against the very God that implemented them. Make it make sense...🤔
God created individuals...marriage is just optional. Salvation, sin vs. holiness, heaven or hell has nothing to do with whether someone is married or not.
It's NOT Tony's Way, It's Yahweh's Way!!! Tony is doing Kingdom Work in an efforts to REBUILD the Black Families, Black Communities. Anything outside of Yahweh's Way is leading us straight to hell.
I love Tony Gaskins because he reminds us how weird this generations values are. God principles will always make everything else sound crazy. Because honestly “not everyone dates for marriage” is telling. Ace be so fake passionate in his advice to ppl only to argue with a man who’s all about bringing man and woman together in the most serious way. Through marriage! Just the way he hopped on the live with that devious smirk to argue with Tony let me know where he is spiritually and he ain’t really about what Tony about. This was an example that the real gon always expose the fake. Ace is performative and what the Bible calls a “false prophet” he really got a whole show dedicated to giving ppl relationship advice but this debate proves he really just about drama, entertainment and making money.
Yes you can see in his facial expressions every time Tony brung up biblical principles. It’s sad to see. And ppl love listening to him and his toxicity. I did too before I elevated spiritually. Not I can’t even tolerate listening to him at all.

The difference here is one guys is strictly promote marital unity under God's covenant. The other is promoting relationship entertainment.
@@tgee1007 This is true!
If you are unhealed you shouldn't be dating cause you out here hurting other people.
TG thank you for sticking with the truth. Do whats best for the community 🎉
Tony Gaskin made some valid points and everything he stated is actual and factual!!!! I tuned into Ace Metaphor's, "Tonight's Conversation" podcast for a few episodes and instantly felt confused and the conversations were very cringy and unsettling. I just can't entertain nonsense and what's the purpose of having a platform if it doesn't produce any substance? How is it beneficial for the black community? Like Tony said, we are struggling as a black community, and we need to produce information that will help build healthy families and marriages. "Tonight's Conversation" is part of the problem!!!
Agreed! It was confusing, and God is not a God of confusion so I will never listen to them!
Perfectly said!!!!
Marriage is not the solution for the Black community, God is!
You will know them by their fruit.
That part.
I'd like to see Stephan Speaks, Tony Gaskins', Ace Metaphor, and Tim Ross all on one panel.
Yessir
Tony said he would never come back after this i believe
Yesssss me too!!! That would be sooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Take out Ace Metaphor because he is not standing on what those other guys are. Ace is for culture the other guys are for results.
I dont believe Ace is on the level of the other three gentlemen yet. I'm surprised he kept interrupting Tony. It's a bit off putting
Don’t like a sneak attack they pulled on Tony. They were wrong for that.. 😡
I peeped that too.👀
continue to stand your ground for God Tony Tony you was calm about it as long as you did what God wanted you to do they can’t touch what God anointed period
He handled it well
I agree.
Yeah I know right. That was crazy. And even though Tony was drinking that water to calm the storm in his belly from erupting, when he told Ace to drop that "base" out his voice!! He had every right to say that. Frfr.
Tony Gaskins said nothing but the TRUTH & the TRUTH shall set you free 🕊️.. point blank perioddddd !
Amen!!!
Dating for fun is immature.
ACE is proof that all these UA-camrs should not have a platform. They are just in it for the exposure and money because saying all voices matter is how we ended up in this situation of anyone doing anything and justifying
Cmon Tony!!!! With the word!!! Doesn't matter the time of dating...
God's way is the only way
.... He lays the foundation of marriage/dating
THIS
Listen Tony I'm with you when you're right ✅️ and... you're 100% right
Salute
There are married people on Ace’s panel and even Stephen Speaks who is a Christian. I went to the live podcast show and was grieved tbh. The live show was like a club. With the music playing and the twerk contest. Then the questions that were selected to be asked were childish and overly sexual. It was clear that Ace and most of the panel live in the world. The married woman and Stephen Speaks “ironically” left during the overly sexual segment. I also noticed Stephen looked visibly uncomfortable during some of the questions. The questions that were even a sprinkle biblically-related Ace would ask the married woman or Stephen to answer. Which showed me that Ace is not coming from a biblical background and doesn’t want to. He does promote the world and he promotes sex. I had to repent for being blinded and interested in the live show. I believe there’s a reason why Ace blocks out cursing on UA-cam. In person he was cursing so much and drunk. Tony and Ace have different beliefs and audiences so this “debate” would never come to an agreement.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I wanted to go when it came to my city but I missed it.
But...when I watch the videos, it always seems so loud and seems like a party atmosphere. Like a lot of confusion, which breeds more confusion.
@@visionspoetry9164 yeahhh if you’re a Believer and you want to date/marry with God as the standard, don’t go lol. It’ll be a waste of your money & time.
I praise God for giving me the foresight to know that aces show was a toxic mess when I first saw the advertisement
Guys thank you both for bring on Tony G. He single handedly just exposed Ace true intentions. We'll done
Ace is making 10 times what Tony is and Tony wants $ also I think many of Tony followers don’t want to admit that Tony likes money Tony is also of the world his fans need to admit it
The fact that Ace cannot even let Tony get a FULL thought out not only proves his disrespect for Tony, but also confirms his Emotional Intelligence! I would never tune in to that man’s “ rhetoric”
“Heal before you deal”-- Tony G.
Weird thing is Ace has a similar video and message it just gets overshafdowed by all the nonsense he spews
Tony you are supported. WE NEED what you have to offer; we thank you for your honesty & transparency. Continue to do the Lord's work 👏🏽👏🏽
Ace is TRIGGEREDDDDDD 😂
Big triggered
I love it lol
Very keeps interrupting Tony and all😅
He’s doing the devils work
I Thought I use like ace when I first ran across him about 4yrs ago
Why is Tony evening having a conversation with someone who is not equally yoked with him
Jesus had conversation with people that wasn't yoked with him
TONY!!!!!!!!!!! great conversation sir, you laid out your points and the facts
21:15 this what Ace is saying right here is the problem right now in this world. Just because people are doing it, doesn’t mean it’s right. Too many are living life in a way that’s taking them straight to hell. Life is for a purpose but not many understand this! Heal first then decide to date.
Yeah but the results out way everything.
I am a part of Tony Gaskins' audience.
My self
Same🤗
Tony know they ain’t str8
As am I and this was a total set up. Smh I agree with Tony.
Me too
Thank you Tony for being a man of principle and clarity..
Say that again for the people in the back❤
Tony wasn’t giving worldly living and messaging a pass. And I respect that.
Tony is too blessed to go on Ace’s panel
Agreed!
I agree with Tony. Only people in healthy marriages should be giving advice about marriage. The black community doesn’t need the other voices. Look at the data on our marriages and out of wedlock children
Exactly the way he’s addressing things isn’t working the way we are living gives us bad results which means it’s wrong we needs to do better we need someone who’s truly a leader.
Giving advice about "marriage"
@@teresam5199 yes. I’ll edit my comment. Thx
YES TO TONY. If you TEACH BLACK CHILDREN you will see that exactly what he is saying is what is needed!! Our black children are suffering SOOO much and it’s their parents and the culture we have let permeate that has ruined them!
Done deal!!! YES! Gaskin all the way.
Useless debate.
Yup the other dude is as much of a “relationship coach” as an insect is a bear. And I can’t with all this fake phony “brother” 10times in every sentence
🎉🎉
Absolutely.. Tony is a true man of God & not to be played with .. some people just love confusion sadly
💯‼️
People should not be dating to find themselves! The best way to find yourself is to remain single and build focus on building a relationship with yourself!
Tonight’s Conversation =entertainment Tony Gaskins= Godly principles to date and have a healthy marriage!
I have gained even more respect for Tony after this brief debate.. Don't play with God's principles!!
Wow he told Ace to take the base out his voice and he’s godly??? He disrespectful!!!!
@@susandodson1234 what should Tony have done? Just taken it? Ace's voice and mannerisms were emotional and very passive aggressive. People can demand respectful dialogue.
Period
Everything TG said was on point. I'm 34, and if you are living this life and dating, you should be dating with the purpose of marriage. However, this generation is so lost with social media, etc., that almost everything he says will go over people's heads.
Yup! Absolutely 🎯💯💥 we must continue to pray for all lost souls. They really were not taught this. The Bible speaks on those perishing because of the lack of know. Tony giving the knowledge and of course so many will reject it and say I’m a Christian. The Bible does speak on Jesus telling so may to depart from HIM, HE never knew them! I pray they stop following these norms and hunger and thirst for our Creator that their destiny is saved from the disaster they are headed to in Jesus Mighty Name. They calling what should be a relationship a religion.
Agreed
Tony is correct!!!! Of course its based principles... it's God's way not Tony's way... he keep saying Tony's way... use your platform to lead your people to marriage, especially our black culture, we need voices thats going to lead us to build positive healthy marriages... men are uncomfortable about marriage we need men like Tony to bring our men to being intentional about marriage!!!!
🎯💯💥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This comment shows that you don’t listen to Ace Metaphor platform because he does offer that. Which is why he made the comment about having healthy married people on his panel. To help guide you or show you internal things that you have to work on before actually meeting your equally yoked partner.
@@duffessence what I can respond to is Ace response to his stance in dating in today's society. I don't have to listen to him to know his values are different and that's ok, this interview told me all I needed to know... I've come across his tiktok and granted he's entertaining and he has valid points but his stance and values are different, which he has stated out of his own mouth... which I can appreciate that but I stand with Tony dating for marriage is the only way and that's God's way. He may speak on a healthy relationship but is he promoting healthy marriages..., is he preparing his audience for marriage etc... or is he for what society want him to be ( which he said he was) so that is what I am referring to... he's a dope speaker in his own right.
Tony Gaskins is self righteous.
I want him to talk about marriage and relationships with a panel of his exes. Let's see how that goes?
Religious people be the most judgmental 😮
Right 😅😅😅phony asl

I love Tony’s calmness throughout this conversation as ace being argumentative
He’s filled with the Spirit, Peace. Ace seems to be demonstrating an combative spirit…certainly not of God
Yes!
What were u watching ..Tony was out of control
This debate made it very clear why intentional dating is a better for women spirituality, mentally, physically and emotionally. I feel like the recreational dating that Ace mentioned is the reason we have so many women who were misled, abused, and cheated on by men “trying to find themselves” and as a society we end up with fatherless children who will only repeat these vicious cycles as adults.
Tony is standing on God’s Word. Not everyone will live this way. They may call themselves Christians but the Bible says many will say lord lord and Jesus will say he never knew them. The Bible says live holy. This applies to every area of life yes even dating. Yall want to date and live according to your flesh but then wonder why you keep dealing with heart ache, disappointment and pain
🎯🎯

School these ‘Brothers’ Tony Gaskins🙏🏾‼️ 🗣️
Tony Gaskin is absolutely right!! One thing for sure, when you are right, people get offended and will argue with you no matter what.
Yes Truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged
Yesss Tony👏👏👏 this is a clear representation of Godly wisdom vs. Carnal mindset.
The way Tony spoke and acted was Godly to you?
@@bigamemphis10 have you ever read the Bible? Jesus definitely put people in their place when it was needed🤷♀️ Even Peter in the Bible didn’t play that lol I’m just saying
What’s your husband’s opinion?
It’s probably the same as the wife that you don’t have.
@@bigamemphis10 he hasn’t watched this episode but let me just say…. the Bible supersedes anyone’s opinion 🤷♀️
Get him Tony!! Casual relationships leads to risky consequences. Dating is not experimental and for healing which leads to a heartbreak if the person's expectations and values are higher than the other person. Ace is missing the whole point.
I’m here for the Clarity. Thank you, Tony! These people need to heal before they deal. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Principled dating used to be referred to as courting…
Team Tony Gaskins all the way! The principles of love and dating have not changed...amen!
Tony G is standing on business and God’s word. Ace shows are just entertainment and influencers speaking on their perspective but still have no results. Once again, if everyone has a different perspective who is really right?
He literally just said dating can be for finding yourself or entertaining purposes. Dating is not therapy sir.
Principle will stand over “perspective” any day.
The thing is people are entitled to their own perspective but there is only ONE TRUTH.
Tony Gaston is 100% correct everything he said about Ace’s show is what you do experience confusion and sensationalism
That part. It’s mostly entertainment
Thank you “Tony” this is exactly what you call a “Grown Man” vs “Grown Boy conversations. 💯
Tony was dropping jewels!
TONY IS RIGHT. Listen to married people when it comes to relationships. They’re at the epitome form of a relationship, lifelong commitment. Listening to anyone else, its not advice but information on their experience. We need more men like Tony
Married or single people with unhealthy, negative relationships can not tell anyone anything. Period.
Married people in healthy relationships. Got be clear on that one😂😂
As a man, I agree with Tony
thank you for saying that publicly! Many blessings to you!
I love Tony’s message it helped me hold my boyfriend accountable, who is now my husband,❤❤I will always be grateful that I found your message at I time when I was lost. God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Tony has a great point, with a poor delivery. He keeps cutting everyone off, including the men in his studio. Then when it was Ace’s turn to finally speak, all of a sudden the ego was bruised because of “bass in the voice”. As a Christian, my earnest prayer is that we learn how to deliver the gospel in a better way. And not just spew it out with an attitude, because that seed will not fall on good soil. Sincerely heartbreaking 😢
I would truly like to add respectfully that I started my self love journey with Tonight’s Conversation with Ace Metaphor and his panel of therapist and diversity on relationships. It really allowed me to see myself in the relationships and the roles others played in my life. Ace showed meGod working in my life. I know that it’s up to the individual person as to what they take away from the content. I now know what to look for in a healthy relationship due to Ace Metaphor that has now lead me back to Christ. Your thought process is not completely wrong but that judgement in your voice is the reason why people don’t want to come to Christ.
The problem with people who overemphasize subjectivity is that, in their cowardice and dishonesty, they never acknowledge that not all ideas of life (and of dating in particular) are conducive to a well-functioning society: we might all have different approaches to dating, but not all of these approaches will lend themselves to healthy relationships.
Thus, any community-oriented thought leader should not shy away from saying, "Right is right, and wrong is wrong!". Only trifling people benefit from cultural ambiguity, as they can always hide behind the pretense of subjectivity to not be accountable for anything. Is it any wonder, then, that many people nowadays are so open about cheating? After all, maybe faithfulness is not everyone's "truth"!
This was a well thought out comment! 👏🏾 wholeheartedly agree
Agreed 💯
“My truth” was the beginning of the end.
Let him cook!!!! Highlight this comment!!!
🔥💯🔥💯
Tony is right and the reason people are so broken is because they are looking for love in all the wrong places besides doing it the most highs way
And it's in God, not a man or a woman
As a man that lives with purpose, I attest that Tony is absolutely right you can’t placate to everyone especially when you over 30. I Tell my lady this all the time.
My boi Tony Is coming from a godly point of view not wordly point of view
Tony got intimidated in this conversation, and it’s unfortunate. Telling a man to take the base out of his voice is reflective of how intimidated he got because he was unable to articulate his argument in a professional. If a man has no rebuttal it’s best to safely agree to disagree.
TEAM TONY! He’s sooooo right!!!! Cool, calm, collected and wise!
Yes there's power in poise and boy did ace try to gaslight.I use to like watch ace but baby.
Team TONY! Just observing the difference in their body language speaks volumes. Tony was confident & poised.
Exactly there is power in poise
"Hold on lil bro you got a little too much base in your voice" 😅😂
Bass
And that was a way for “godly person” should be talking? He’s a hater because he’s not making money as Ace
@@alyu9337you proved his point. Ace is adding to the division and separation. There’s no solution or advice to resolve. It’s always about being a side chick
@@alyu9337 There are many things in life more valuable than money. Family is the best example.
@@alyu9337 not that it matters but Tony is a millionaire…
I appreciate a person that can be clear on what they stand for and what their perspective is over a bunch of generalities.
This is literally a spiritual conversation, and Tony is on the right side. Right on. Tony is speaking truth to power.
There’s no such thing as a coincidence… This was a Setup
💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Do They think we’re slow? Lmao that’s why Tony’s face looked like that when they asked if he would mind if Ace joined. He peeped game from jump
Like he said he came for clarity they for confusion
Nothing is a coincidence and social media. I’m sure they all knew.
Ace said a whole lotta’ NOTHING and HI FOUL for bringing on that clown to begin with
HI is with drama... My POV- 'Debate' is one of their buzz words from time to time...
Agree. Quit playing w Tony!!
Can you imagine someone with no results telling Tony Gaskin "do a little more homework!" It's like someone with a GED telling someone with a Masters to "do a little more homework." In a deck of cards, Ace is definitely a joke, here! Lol!
💯 Ace is a joke, everything he says makes no sense. That comment of “do more homework” had me laughing at him, what a clown. Also, he said TG was being rude? Ace was rude with his constant iPhone scrolling & texting.
I watch them both. I have NEVER seen a clip from the conversation about no postpartum, r mental health lol it’s always about being a side chick or side dude and Tony’s message is strictly and specifically about relationships leading to marriage. Two different messages period
Ace metaphor and his platform has been extremely helpful to my personal development. I'm married, leaving a toxic relationship at times verbally abusive and negatively impacting our kids. I have learned through Ace I can love and support my husband as a friend and leave him. I have learned love is not the be all and end all and that love is not enough and can be used as a manipulative tool by the wrong people. Regardless of your relationship/dating priorities, you need to know how to protect yourself and your standards are your protection. That advice can align with a person whether they are seeking a religious marriage or common law or just dating not looking for serious (understanding how your actions impact someone who wants more).
I agree Tony Gaskins is out of touch with today's reality.
Why isn't he married?
I believe society is out touch because now that we have social media I think it dictates more how we should be living you know the trend today is thus next 2Months it's something and use watch ace whenever he came across.
Tony's directness and transparency are truly refreshing. His insights on manhood, relationships, and much more are not only accurate but also deeply needed in today's world. It's inspiring to see a Black man genuinely walking the walk and preaching the word of the Maker. Although I seldom comment online, I feel compelled to share how much I appreciate Tony's contributions
Don't like the way Tony gaskins is being cut off . Seems too much like trying to create hostile conversation for video content. Not respectful. No good.
I agree with Tony. Don't like this interview or interviewer energy here . Have a great day
No blanket statements
Tony Gaskins is THE ONE & THE TWO baby!!! ❤
👏👏👏👏👏
🎯
Tony is speaking truth, stop mixing, it won’t work. Tony conversation is solid, it has a foundation. You cannot build without a foundation.
Last comment, Ace was way more respectful than these comments are saying, Tony Gaskins is not even LISTENING to him because he has blocked off receiving any messaging from him. And for him to tell him he is getting too much base that's so whack. Smdh
I’m a 60 year old African American woman. Tony on Point!!
Right and use watch ace when he first came on the scene maybe about 4yr ago .I believe he was more humble but believe a little success has gotten to him just a bit .His whole demeanor has changed.
I’ll never understand Ace. Marriage is based on Godly principle. Why would any ungodly person desire marriage? If you don’t desire Christ, marriage is not necessary in your life.
Wow what you said sums it all up.
Right like God created marriage why would an unbeliever desire that if anything it would be the opposite. Hmmm
These “influencers” do that with every area in life; money, people dynamics, marriages, career, etc. They exploit Godly principles and rename it as their game but make it all inclusive so sins are acceptable. Some of the influencers don’t recognize that their “game” is based on the foundational principles that God created in the beginning.
I never could understand that myself...The world will adopt religious traditions, yet be against the very God that implemented them. Make it make sense...🤔
Be careful...if you desire Christ it's not synonymous with desiring marriage.
I agree with Tony the entire goal of dating is two healthy people resulting in marriage . God created family
Period
God created individuals...marriage is just optional. Salvation, sin vs. holiness, heaven or hell has nothing to do with whether someone is married or not.
It's NOT Tony's Way, It's Yahweh's Way!!! Tony is doing Kingdom Work in an efforts to REBUILD the Black Families, Black Communities. Anything outside of Yahweh's Way is leading us straight to hell.
FACTS!!!!
We just need to make sure we're doing God's will not man's will.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I agree, why would I take marriage advice from a single man 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Not every one own his panel is single some are married
@@henriettebleck8608 as a married person what could you learn regarding marriage from someone not in marriage
I love Tony Gaskins because he reminds us how weird this generations values are. God principles will always make everything else sound crazy. Because honestly “not everyone dates for marriage” is telling. Ace be so fake passionate in his advice to ppl only to argue with a man who’s all about bringing man and woman together in the most serious way. Through marriage! Just the way he hopped on the live with that devious smirk to argue with Tony let me know where he is spiritually and he ain’t really about what Tony about. This was an example that the real gon always expose the fake. Ace is performative and what the Bible calls a “false prophet” he really got a whole show dedicated to giving ppl relationship advice but this debate proves he really just about drama, entertainment and making money.
Yes
Yes you can see in his facial expressions every time Tony brung up biblical principles. It’s sad to see. And ppl love listening to him and his toxicity. I did too before I elevated spiritually. Not I can’t even tolerate listening to him at all.
@@britneythomas3713 yea he bothers my spirit and come off fake and performative. All extra acting like he really mad for women 😂 man please
Yes I use like watching him when first started about 4yr ago but I believe the success has gotten to him
One thing we don't need is more divisiveness. Thank you for promoting mature dialogue.
