00:01 The future for many young Black males in America
00:03 may not seem too bright... more often than any other group 00:07 in this Country... young Black men face a 00:10 greater rate of imprisonment, 00:12 a greater chance of being killed, 00:13 and greater chance of being unemployed... 00:16 today, on Urban Report, we'll hear from an 00:19 inner city Pastor that is all too familiar 00:21 with the plight of Black males... 00:23 My name is Yvonne Lewis and you're watching 00:26 Urban Report. 00:49 For many young Black men opportunities seem elusive 00:53 and the future holds no promise... 00:55 the fact is... many are living from day to day 00:58 with very little hope or expectation 01:01 that life will get better, they have no dream, 01:04 our guest today is all too familiar with this scenario, 01:07 and will share several points with us 01:10 from a Biblical perspective... 01:11 our guest is Pastor William Lee, Senior Pastor of Capital City 01:16 Seventh-day Adventist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana... 01:19 he's an expert in Urban Ministries 01:21 and he's the host of the Dare to Dream's 01:23 upcoming Program... "for Guys Only" 01:25 Welcome Pastor Lee... 01:29 Thank you so much Dr. Lewis for having me today... 01:31 it's a pleasure to be here... 01:32 Oh, we are so thrilled to have you... 01:34 Now, what are some of the unique challenges 01:38 that Black men face in our Society? 01:41 Yeah... the challenges are many 01:44 they range in regards to 01:46 violence, gangs, 01:48 especially our Black boys are joining gangs 01:51 at an all-time epidemic... so it seems... 01:53 there's drug addiction, unemployment, failing schools, 01:58 negative media... betrayal of the Black men, 02:02 there's a big problem, fatherlessness... 02:05 which... we're talking about abysmal... 02:09 and then... just this whole loss of morals 02:11 and values that our Black men are facing today, 02:14 so, there are many issues that we must address... 02:18 You know... that issue of the loss or decline of morals... 02:23 I mean... as I watch television 02:26 and I'm not a hip-hop fan at all 02:29 but sometimes in passing 02:31 you hear some of the lyrics and it's appalling to me... 02:34 it's appalling because... we've gone so far... 02:38 it's like the lyrics are just so profoundly 02:43 decadent... 02:45 and so, many times our kids are listening to this... 02:49 and they have rhythm and rhyme, and so, Satan is using it 02:53 to get into the subconscious mind... 02:55 of our young people... and so... 02:58 it's rather frightening to me... 03:00 what's going on... tell us from a Biblical 03:03 perspective... give us a Biblical perspective 03:06 on what's going on... if you would... 03:08 Sure... it's interesting that the Bible states in 03:12 Genesis Chapter 1 versus 26 and 27 I believe it is... 03:16 where the Bible says that God made man in His own image, 03:20 in His own likeness God made man... 03:22 and the Bible says specifically that God gave man 03:26 dominion and power over the earth 03:30 from the beginning of time... 03:31 God had set man up to be the ruler of the world 03:34 to have leadership in this world that we live in... 03:37 but the problems come in 03:39 just a couple of Chapters down the road 03:41 in Genesis Chapter 3... we're seeing that man sins... 03:44 he, so to speak, he disobeys God... 03:47 and now, his leadership and everything else 03:50 is called into question from that standpoint 03:53 we look right now that... from the beginning of sin 03:56 all the way to where we are right now 03:58 that man, so to speak, has been hiding from God... 04:03 and while God has given us 04:05 leadership and dominion 04:07 we've kind of put it down the back burner... 04:10 we've turned to other things and other avenues... 04:13 that are being really detrimental to the Black family 04:17 and to the Black men... 04:18 So you're saying, then, let me make sure 04:20 I'm understanding what you're saying... 04:22 you're saying that from the beginning... 04:24 man... not just men and women... 04:27 but man had a particular role in the household 04:31 and that role has been abandoned? 04:34 Yeah... I mean... 04:35 I absolutely say so... 04:37 that the Bible was absolutely clear that man 04:40 was to rule over the fish over the fowls of the earth, 04:43 of the earth... everything... God had put really 04:46 in the lap of man... of Adam, so to speak, 04:50 and from that time... to when he sinned... 04:54 it's been just a tremendous downward 04:57 spiral... especially as it relates to the Urban Male... 05:00 you look at most of our cities, it's very difficult... 05:04 even in our Churches... to find men in our churches 05:08 that will stand up and really be the men 05:11 that God has called them to be... 05:13 so, what we're saying is that we have to reclaim 05:16 the men... these missing men... 05:18 we have to reclaim Adam... to put Adam 05:20 really in his rightful position that God established him for, 05:24 the Bible even goes a little further says in 05:26 Revelation Chapter 1 verse 6 05:28 that we are in Jesus Christ 05:30 He's forgiven us... and that we are kings and priests 05:34 that God has... he's actually called us kings 05:36 and priests... and we need to take back 05:38 so to speak... what the enemy has stolen from us 05:41 or even what we've given over to him... 05:42 over time... Wow! I like that... 05:45 you know... well, there are a few things 05:47 Number one... it's so important to show 05:50 the relevance of the Bible today... 05:53 it's so relevant... the principles there are so 05:56 relevant to what we're dealing with... today... 06:01 and so, when you're saying that God has given men 06:05 a certain position... and that 06:08 we were made in His image and that 06:11 we have kind of... as men and women... 06:14 I mean, we could talk about what's happened with women too 06:17 with... again... with the media and hip-hop... 06:20 and the music and all that... but... with the focus on males 06:24 that whole idea of man being in a position 06:27 of authority and dominion over the earth... 06:30 and us, actually, removing ourselves 06:35 from that position that God... placed man in... 06:39 that's a very interesting thing to me... 06:42 why did Adam hide from God in the garden... 06:45 why do you think he hid? 06:46 Yeah... that's very interesting because if you look at the 06:49 account... God had specifically given 06:52 Adam the command on what to do and what not to do 06:56 in the Garden of Eden... and Adam completely understood 06:59 that he was not supposed to touch the fruit 07:02 in the garden... that he was to stay away from it 07:04 but it's very interesting that somehow we believe that 07:08 they separated themselves... 07:09 and when they separated themselves... 07:10 in the Garden... and that's when the enemy 07:13 came in... especially to Eve when Adam was not standing 07:17 directly next to his woman... 07:19 and we see from that point that man is, sometimes, weak... 07:24 and he falls for 07:25 the tactics of the enemy... 07:28 when Eve gave Adam the fruit, you know... 07:30 he knew better... but he still went against God 07:33 and from that time on... we see God comes looking 07:36 for Adam... and I want you to notice that 07:38 God came specifically to Adam, God did not come to Eve 07:42 the Bible says, "Where art thou... Adam...?" 07:45 "Where are you... Adam...?" so God puts the 07:47 responsibility... right back in the hands 07:50 of the man... and from that point... 07:52 Adam stands up and says... 07:53 "God, I was afraid... I heard you coming... 07:58 in the garden... so I hid myself... " 07:59 and God asked another question... 08:01 God asked, "Who told you that you were naked?" 08:03 so to speak, so from the beginning of time 08:05 it seems that man... 08:07 and once he sinned... he has been running from 08:10 responsibility... he's been running... from God... 08:13 which we must put a stop to in our time... today... 08:16 Yes... yes... you know what... it dawned on me 08:19 as you were giving this explanation 08:22 that some of our viewers don't even know the story... 08:24 of Adam and Eve... can you just kind of... 08:27 give us that encapsulation of the story 08:30 and of man's hiding from God 08:32 and then relate it what's going on now... again... 08:34 sure... absolutely... the reality is that 08:37 God created the entire universe... 08:40 and the Bible says that every day when He finished 08:43 creation He declared that, "It is good... " 08:45 everything was perfect... 08:47 it was like the perfect Utopian Society... 08:49 everything was just right... and God created man 08:53 called Adam... and He created this woman called Eve 08:56 and they were the first married couple 08:59 that God put together... and it was Adam's responsibility 09:03 to lead Eve and to be 09:05 right next to her 09:07 in the Garden of Eden... the Bible says 09:10 that there was a tree though... 09:11 the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil... 09:14 which bore fruit... and the Bible specifically told 09:17 Adam the man... that you are not to eat 09:21 from this tree... now it's kind of an arbitrary 09:23 command that God gives... but He still gave the command 09:27 "Do not do it... " and the reality is, Dr. Lewis, 09:30 if God said it... we got to believe it... 09:32 you got to do it... there's not question about it 09:34 God always knows what's best for us... 09:36 Yes... yes... so Adam and Eve just like we do today... 09:40 sometimes we think we know what's best... 09:43 and the Bible says there was a serpent 09:45 in the Garden... that serpent was, in fact, 09:48 the devil... Satan himself... 09:50 and he tempted Eve... he lured her, so to speak, 09:54 to eat of that apple... or eat of the fruit, rather, 09:57 to eat of that fruit... 09:58 and when they ate the fruit, it wasn't an apple... 10:01 many people believe that it was an apple... 10:02 the Bible doesn't say what it was... 10:03 Right... right... and when they ate that fruit 10:05 then they disobeyed God and that was 10:08 what we call sin... that's when sin came in... 10:11 when they disobeyed God... and from that point forward 10:14 they began to point fingers at one another 10:16 they began to hide from one another, 10:18 they began to accuse one another 10:20 as it relates like... answer the man... 10:22 here we go again... where the man... 10:25 sometimes he hides from his responsibilities... 10:28 that God has given him... but I love the fact, Dr. Lewis, 10:32 that God came looking for Adam... 10:35 Ah... God did not give up on Adam, 10:38 even though Adam messed up... 10:41 God still was there for Adam... 10:43 and I think that's a good point for all men that's watching 10:46 this right now... understand that 10:47 no matter what you've done in the past... 10:49 no matter what's happened... 10:50 over the course of history... 10:53 or even no matter what's happening 10:54 even in our Society... if we submit ourselves to God, 10:57 God will be there for us, every step of the way... 11:01 God came looking for Adam... and I think 11:03 that's powerful right there, 11:05 God comes looking for Adam... 11:06 we know that God will look for us... as well in 2012. 11:10 Yes... that's such a powerful point because 11:13 when we mess up... whether you're male or female 11:16 when you mess up... that fact that God seeks us out 11:20 it's such an amazing thing... 11:22 the creator of the universe wants to know us... 11:25 as the Psalmist says, 11:27 "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? 11:29 and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" 11:32 Who are we... that God would want to have 11:35 fellowship with us and yet... 11:37 God sought out Adam because 11:39 He wanted restored fellowship 11:42 Hmmm... hmmm... God wanted restored fellowship 11:45 with Adam... and I think... 11:46 an important point too from what you're saying... 11:50 is that... when we go astray, when we make a mistake 11:54 we can come back... there's nothing 11:56 that anyone has done that is too serious... 11:59 for God to not forgive... 12:02 God will forgive every mistake... 12:06 every sin that we commit, God will forgive... 12:09 and He seeks us out... for that... 12:12 one of the things that we also need to talk about 12:17 is the role 12:20 that men are supposed to play 12:22 in the household... are they supposed to be 12:24 domineering over the woman, according to the Bible 12:27 or are they supposed to... you know because... 12:30 God did come looking for the man... 12:33 so, how does the woman fit into... 12:35 the whole paradigm here? 12:37 Okay... sure it was... the first part of that is 12:40 by no means is the man to be domineering, so to speak, 12:44 over the wife or not... 12:47 but the reality is that 12:49 God did call the man, Adam, to be the protector... 12:52 he called Adam to be 12:54 the Priest of the home 12:55 so the Bible says in Ephesians Chapter 5... 12:58 that husbands are to love their wife 13:01 as Christ loved the Church, Hmmm... Hmmm... 13:04 and that women are to submit themselves 13:07 to their husbands as unto God... so... 13:09 There's that word now, you know some women 13:11 are going to balk at that... 13:13 but submission does not mean that you are just 13:17 a doormat... correct? 13:20 Right, yeah by no means does it mean that at all... 13:22 but here's what the Bible says though 13:24 it says that they submit... as unto God... 13:27 so, the reality is that if the husband is to feel 13:32 what the spirit of God... and is showing the character 13:38 of God... and he's being just like God... 13:41 really, the woman would have no problems submitting 13:43 because the husband's doing 13:45 all that he's been called to do 13:47 and that's what God really wants... 13:49 for the man and the woman to be as one... 13:53 as the Bible says in Genesis 13:54 once again... He brought them together 13:56 they were to be one flesh... 13:58 Yes, yes... very interesting you know... 14:00 when you think about Jesus and His walk here... 14:05 and again... how He was portrayed... 14:08 many times we don't see him as a manly man... 14:12 He was often portrayed as weak... or weepy... 14:15 or... what do you think about the portrayal of Jesus 14:19 by the media... 14:20 movies and books and things... 14:23 what do you think about how He's been portrayed? 14:25 Yeah... that's a good point I think you're right on it... 14:28 that sometimes... especially in our churches 14:31 that we've kind of 14:33 feminized Jesus 14:35 and we have even feminized the Gospel 14:37 Hmmm... 14:38 simply... kind of meaning of this 14:39 that men and women are... they're wired differently... 14:43 and Church services especially in the Black context 14:47 I mean... Church is emotional, if there's a call 14:50 and a response... the preacher... 14:52 I get up and say, "Say Amen.. " 14:54 we want people to respond... sometimes, men are just 14:59 wired differently... they don't show emotion 15:03 in public sometimes... and even when it comes to 15:06 Jesus... we have this, you know... 15:08 of course the Bible is absolutely correct 15:10 in choosing that term... but we see that Jesus 15:14 when He was in a temple and they were buying and selling 15:20 inside the temple... we saw another side of Jesus 15:22 when He began to overthrow the money changers 15:25 and got the whip in... and told them 15:27 to get out of "my Father's house" 15:29 we call it the "House of Prayer" 15:31 this is a totally different side of Jesus 15:33 this is the side of Jesus that men 15:34 especially can identify with because... 15:37 Jesus is not just letting people walk over Him... 15:40 walk over Him... you know... He's standing up 15:43 and being a man... Jesus was a carpenter 15:46 carpenters are not weak and wimpy men... 15:48 and I think that in our Churches that we would do well 15:50 to present Jesus as a strong man... 15:55 as a man that can identify with other men... 15:58 a man that was... Pharisees came after Him... 16:01 almost every day of His life... He had problems 16:04 just like the Black man has today... 16:06 but when Jesus teaches us is that 16:09 we can overcome... we can stand firm 16:12 we can stand in His power... my father... he saw me 16:15 from a little age... my father, you know, 16:18 was a strong Black man... he said, 16:20 "Son, there is nothing more powerful 16:22 than a Black man 16:23 that knows the Lord... " 16:24 Hmmm... and what he was trying tell me 16:27 is that we can lift our head up high 16:29 we can recognize that "if God be for us... 16:32 no one can be against us" 16:34 that we don't have to settle 16:35 to Society's depiction of who we are... 16:39 who we're supposed to be, because our identity 16:41 can be found in Jesus... and for that... 16:44 I'm very much grateful... 16:45 Amen... you know... when you tell your children 16:50 your sons... to be like Jesus... and then there's a 16:55 feminized kind of version of Him... 16:57 you want your son to identify with a strong man... 17:02 and so, I see what you're saying that we have done that 17:06 and I think... and because the church is 17:09 female dominant... there are so many more women 17:12 than men in the Churches... and in Schools... 17:15 you know, you have female teachers... 17:17 you have more female teachers than men... 17:18 and then the homes... children are raised by females 17:23 more than by two-parent households 17:25 so, we can... tend to... 17:28 distort the image again 17:31 of Jesus Christ... and we have to be careful 17:33 of that in our homes... to make Jesus 17:36 the strong man that He really was... 17:39 as depicted in the Word... 17:41 I'm going to switch gears on you now... 17:44 Okay... with some of the... 17:46 again the... challenges that Black men face 17:50 such as sexual temptation, 17:52 let's talk a bit about that... because we know that again... 17:56 the music... the films... all of these things 17:59 and these things are not just relegated to Black men... 18:04 this is a temptation across the board... 18:06 sexual temptation is an issue across the Board... 18:09 speak to that for us, if you would, 18:12 Yeah... this is absolutely unbelievable 18:15 the pressures that men are under... 18:19 especially as it relates to purity... sexual purity... 18:22 I'm doing a series right now in my Church 18:25 I call it the "Samson Syndrome" 18:28 Ah... if you look at Samson... 18:30 you see that Samson made poor decision 18:33 after poor decision... and Samson... he had... 18:36 just like Adam, so to speak, he fell to women 18:40 time and time again... Adam gave in to Eve... 18:43 and we see Samson gives in to... he marries a prostitute... 18:47 he goes down to Timnah... then Delilah comes into his life 18:51 men face this tremendous 18:54 challenge not only to be faithful to themselves 18:58 but also being faithful to their spouses as well... 19:01 and this is something that we need to talk more about 19:04 in the Church... we preached this past weekend... 19:07 we talked about... so many times 19:10 that the devil puts in lure in front of us... 19:13 and if we are not careful the Bible says 19:15 in 1 Corinthians 10 verse 12... "Be careful lest you think 19:19 that you stand... lest you fall... " 19:21 Hmmm... hmmm... and so many... 19:23 if you look around in Society, there are so many of our 19:25 leaders... so many of our politicians 19:29 preachers and the like... 19:30 that are going down because of sexual temptation, 19:34 even through the internet I mean, you will be amazed... 19:37 our viewers will be amazed 19:39 on just even on the social media outlets... 19:43 on how our children are being exposed to pornography... 19:46 being exposed to... just all types of sexual sins... 19:50 and what the devil has done is that 19:52 he's trying to hook them at such a young age... 19:55 and when they get hooked young then they face 19:58 this challenge that often times men don't talk about 20:02 but they carry around... this burden or this guilt 20:06 for such a long time, and they don't even feel as if 20:09 they can talk about it... because it's been taboo, 20:12 so to speak, in our churches for so long 20:15 but we must address these issues 20:18 because if our family is going to be strengthened... 20:20 then we've got to... so to speak, 20:22 we got to pour stuff out of the closet 20:24 so that God can deal with us so that we can be whole 20:28 the way that God wants us to be... 20:29 Absolutely... we cannot... and that's so true... 20:33 we can't just sweep it under the rug 20:35 and act as though it doesn't exist... 20:37 Right... it does exist and thankfully 20:39 in an upcoming segment, on Urban Report... 20:42 I'm planning to interview Brother Raymond King 20:45 who has written about sex and the church... 20:49 and a life on the down-low and all of that... 20:52 as it pertains spiritually, because this is a 20:55 spiritual battle... It sure is... 20:57 this is a spiritual battle... Satan finds a weak point 21:01 and then... 21:02 those are the places that he goes for... 21:04 and for many... sexual sin... is a weak point 21:07 so, that is, Satan knows which buttons 21:10 to push... so that's a big button 21:12 that he pushes... Absolutely... and men are 21:15 extremely visual... I mean... all we have to do is 21:18 just see the image... and we're just like Adam... 21:22 we're like Samson... we go directly toward it... 21:25 and eloquent Job said... Job said... 21:28 in Job 31 verse 1... the Bible says that 21:30 Job made a covenant with his eyes... 21:33 not to look lustfully at a woman... 21:35 Yes... I think that's a covenant 21:37 that we as men... we have to make... 21:39 not just once... we got to be mindful 21:42 that we are human... that we have weaknesses 21:46 and to be on guard against the attacks 21:49 and the wiles of the enemy... 21:51 Absolutely... and to stay grounded in the Word 21:54 and to keep that relationship with Jesus Christ... 21:57 a lot of times... if you are engaged in any 22:00 kind of sin... whether it's sexual sin... 22:03 any kind of sin... that pulls you away... 22:05 your appetite changes... and you no longer 22:07 desire the Word... so you have to force yourself 22:11 actually... you have to turn your will over 22:13 to God and say, "Okay, I don't really feel like 22:16 doing this... but I'm going to do it 22:18 because that's the only way I can be fixed... " 22:20 is if I spend time... in your presence... 22:23 we again... here at Dare to Dream 22:25 praise the Lord... we have a Program 22:27 for sexual purity... it's called "Pure Choices" 22:30 where we look at all these different issues... 22:34 and some very sensitive issues 22:36 but they have to be addressed... 22:38 another issue that has to be addressed... 22:41 and I know our time is running out... but 22:44 but another issue that we really need to look at 22:46 is fatherlessness... Hmmm... hmmm... 22:48 in our homes... what effect has fatherlessness 22:51 had on our young men... 22:53 I mean... it's absolutely tremendous 22:57 every boy longs to have a male in their background... 23:04 I don't care who you are... especially as a Black youth... 23:08 I mean... we long to have somebody in our corner 23:11 cheering us on... telling us, "good job" 23:13 and when he's not there... we always seek that 23:16 from another man... that's one of the main reasons 23:18 why young people... especially our young Black boys 23:20 join gangs... just so that they can have a 23:23 sense of family... a sense of belonging... 23:24 so somebody can be in their corner... 23:26 kind of being there for them, and fatherlessness is 23:31 it's just another attack of the enemy to break 23:35 down the family... Hmmm... 23:37 I thank God... I should have said... 23:40 I thank God that I came from 23:41 a home with two parents... two Christian parents... 23:44 and a strong father that took time... 23:47 he worked almost all day long... but he always took time 23:51 for our family... I can remember, Dr. Lewis, 23:54 many times... my bedroom was right next to 23:58 the driveway and at night... I just had a sense of 24:04 of un-peacefulness... it just was not... 24:07 I wasn't so secure as I could have been 24:09 until I heard my father's car pull in the driveway... 24:13 Ah... and when I heard my father 24:16 pull in the driveway... when I heard that 24:18 backdoor open... from my bedroom... 24:19 I thought to myself... "Ah... now, I can go to sleep... 24:24 now... I'm at peace because I know Dad is home... " 24:28 and so many times... our young people 24:30 especially our young Black boys they are not getting that... 24:32 mom is there... grandma is there... 24:35 our aunt is there... and yes... you know... 24:36 there are many fathers, I don't want to discredit that, 24:38 but the reality is that there are so many 24:41 of our young boys who are going to bed 24:44 without that sense of security 24:47 Yes... and the cycle continues 24:49 to repeat itself... which... we have to break 24:52 that cycle right now... 24:53 Absolutely... our children need their fathers... 24:57 they need their fathers... 24:58 they need for their fathers 25:00 to be a part of their lives... 25:02 and to step up to the plate 25:04 and to be fathers to them... 25:06 not just sire... babies... but fathers and parents... 25:10 That's right... 25:11 Pastor... I have so enjoyed this our time has flown by... 25:16 Wow... I know... I know... 25:18 the time has just flown by... 25:20 and I just thank you so much 25:21 for your input... you are a host of 25:25 "For Guys Only" Hmmm... hmmm... 25:26 tell us quickly, if you would, what do we have to look 25:30 forward to... you have about a minute to tell us 25:32 what do we have to look forward to... 25:35 with "For Guys Only" 25:36 Okay, let me say... first of all... 25:38 we are specifically and unapologetically 25:42 talking to the Urban Man... 25:44 we're dealing with episodes with finances... 25:47 getting your money right... 25:48 we're talking about... fatherlessness... 25:50 we're talking about being a mentor... 25:52 for somebody else... we recognize that 25:55 there are a lot of successful Black men 25:57 in the world... however you determine "Success" 26:00 but the reality is that when you have been blessed... 26:03 you've been called to be a blessing to somebody else 26:05 so... we're talking about being a mentor... 26:07 we're talking about looking out for another Brother 26:09 as well... we're talking about 26:11 this whole success thing... not just falling to 26:15 societal norms but being higher... 26:18 we are talking about daring to dream... 26:20 All right... all right... 26:21 we want men to dream and to think big... 26:24 and to think large... think the way that God 26:26 wants us to think... but we're cheerleading... 26:28 we're not going to tear men down 26:29 but we're going to be in your corner 26:31 to cheer you on... to say that, 26:32 "If God be for you... no one else can be against you" 26:35 and "if any man be in Christ he is a new creature... 26:38 old things are passed away, behold all things 26:42 become brand new... " so... dare to dream 26:45 to be all that God wants you to be... 26:47 Amen... thank you so much... 26:50 we're just so blessed to have you... 26:52 and have you as our host for "For Guys Only" 26:55 thank you so much for being with us today 26:57 on Urban Report... 26:58 We know that God has a special plan for each of us... 27:02 now what I'm going to say may not be politically correct 27:06 but that's okay... God expects the men... 27:09 to step up to the plate and be accountable... 27:12 to be the protectors and providers 27:14 for their households... indeed to be present 27:17 in the household... Pastor Lee stated that 27:19 God sought out the man in the Garden 27:22 to be accountable to Him... there are definite roles 27:25 for husbands to play within the home... 27:27 our older men and women should mentor 27:30 the younger men and women, and teach them 27:32 what God expects... and how to implement it 27:34 within the home and community... 27:36 in our effort to be equal and with spiritual decline, 27:39 we've lost our way... we've mystified our roles 27:43 in the household... I pray that we will seek 27:45 God's original plan for men and women... 27:48 Well, we've come to the end of another episode 27:51 of Urban Report... please join us next time 27:54 because you know... it just wouldn't be the same 27:58 without you... |
