In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Charles Dean takes a deep dive into one of the most honest and vulnerable questions a man can ask himself: "Do I really know how to love her the way she needs to be loved?"

This episode explores the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of how men are taught—or not taught—how to love a woman. From cultural conditioning to childhood examples, many men enter relationships without the tools or understanding of what real, intentional love looks like from a woman’s perspective.

Dr. Dean unpacks:

• The difference between providing and emotionally connecting

• How emotional intimacy, active listening, and presence matter more than material things

• The myths men believe about love and masculinity

• Why "loving her your way" may not be loving her at all

• How to ask her what love feels like to her—and be open to grow

This episode is a mirror, not a hammer. It’s not about blame—it’s about awareness, growth, and becoming the kind of man who doesn’t just say “I love you,” but shows it in a way that speaks directly to her heart.

In this empowering episode, Pastor P reminds singles of their true worth and identity. You are not meant to be discounted, devalued, or placed on clearance.

This message will encourage you to see yourself through God’s eyes and inspire you to wait for the kind of love that honors your value. It's time to stop shrinking—because you were never meant to fit on a bargain shelf.

In this raw and revealing episode, Ms. Lo asks the real question: Can you handle my story? So many of us carry pain, secrets, trauma, and testimonies that are hard to tell — let alone for others to understand. But healing starts with truth. Sit back and get ready for a powerful conversation about transparency, growth, and learning how to share your journey without shame. Because once you tell your story, the healing begins — but not everyone is ready for it. Are you?

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Pastor P dives into the importance of guarding your heart—especially in your single season. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to protect our hearts because everything we do flows from it. But what does that look like in relationships, dating, and emotional connections? Join Pastor P as he breaks down how to discern wisely, set healthy boundaries, and keep your heart safe without becoming closed off. If you've ever been hurt, misled, or emotionally drained, this message is for you. It's time to heal, grow, and guard the treasure God placed within you.

This episode takes listeners further into the process of healing, self-reflection, and restoration. Dr. Dean shares powerful insights on how to set emotional boundaries, rebuild your sense of worth, and begin to trust love again—starting with yourself.

Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, navigating toxic patterns, or simply trying to understand why love can sometimes hurt more than it heals, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and concrete steps to move forward.
