Reflection in process refers to the act of stepping back and examining the actions, decisions, and outcomes of a process. It involves critically analyzing what happened, why it happened, and what can be learned from the experience. Reflection allows the ability to assess performance, identify areas for improvement, and make adjustments for future iterations of the process. It's a key component of continuous improvement and learning.


Passion in music can be defined as an intense emotional connection to the art of creating or performing music. It's a profound love, enthusiasm, or devotion to the craft that drives individuals to express themselves creatively, connect with others, and pursue excellence in their musical endeavors. Passion in music often involves a strong emotional response to melodies, rhythms, lyrics, or the act of making music itself. It motivates musicians to dedicate countless hours to practice, to strive for mastery, and to share their musical expression with others.


Our motivation for doing what we do comes from emotional engagements that we leverage. I've examined the impact of music and passion for decades, and have determined that one does not exist without the other. The next time you experience someone or a group of people trying to share their passion, take the time to listen, support, and encourage. Your impact is greater than you know.

I was seven the first time I hid a crack pipe. It was used, still warm, and I slid it under the big blue sectional before my big brother could open the door. He was at the front, shaking. “My mom said not to let anybody in,” he kept repeating.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and an opportune time for us to examine where we are as a people as well as a church when it comes to the stigmatization that continues to follow this critical area of our well-being. While society overall has begun trending toward more awareness, there has not been that same movement in churches, especially congregations that are historically houses of worship for people of color.

Marriage is ministry. It’s not about who leads, who follows, who talks louder, or who works harder. It’s about two people walking in agreement under God’s covering, carrying the weight of life together, and building a love that honors the Lord.

When most people think of the Prison Ministry, they think of going inside the correctional facilities. That is my passion, and I’ve done it for forty-seven years; however, I realize that other people find going into a facility intimidating.

To everything, there is a season. As one season comes to a close, another begins. Just as Moses passed the mantle to Joshua, I am honored to pass the mantle of leadership to Evangelist Leandra Green as the new pastor of Believers Temple Word Fellowship.
