Ep. 83: Love, Lies & Black Parent-isms: From Marriage Struggles to The Rapture on TikTok

This week, we’re mixing real talk about marriage, a nostalgic look at Black parenting wisdom, and a timely conversation about faith and misinformation online.

💔 Forever Segment — Love Beyond the “Like”

What happens when you love your spouse but don’t actually like them in the moment? We talk about navigating those seasons of tension, finding your way back to connection, and remembering why you chose each other.

👨🏾‍👩🏾‍👧🏾 Roots & Bloom Segment — Black Parent-isms

“Money don’t grow on trees.” “Because I said so.” We’re unpacking the iconic sayings and phrases Black parents raised us on and laughing (or cringing) at how often we catch ourselves repeating them with our own kids.

🙏 Lifestyle Segment — The Rapture & Social Media

Are you still with us, lol? We dig into what the Bible actually says about the Rapture, why people are so quick to believe false information online, and how faith and discernment matter in a world full of viral half-truths.

Today we’ll be touching on:

• Funny Movie Scenes (That Are Not Meant To Be Funny lol)
• What Came First, The Fruit Or The Color Orange?
• Love Beyond The "Like": What To Do When You Done Like Your Spouse
• Black Parent-isms: Am I Boo Boo The Fool?
• The Rapture Brought To You By TikTok (He's Coming Back!)
