Welcome back to Sister Circle Live. We couldn't let our friend passage your mom, Brian. Go without chatter with him a little bit more. What a little bit more. That's what I'm going to do. That's what I'm going to do. That's what I'm going to do. Yeah, look at her passage your mom. Look at her. We went down to the other section of Sister Circle, the couches. Yes. And you spoke so eloquently about merging the church with the outside and needing to get outside. And one of the things that you've done recently as you've partnered with Kanye West, or you had Kanye come to the church with the movement that he's doing with the gospel choir, we see you're doing a lot of work in New birth. That is kind of outside of the box. Yes. And what I wanted to know is how did this come about? But moreover, how do you deal with the backlash behind it? There's been a lot of backlash from the collection plate going around too many times and letting them sneak up there on the pool. Yeah, you know, I know you heard it. Oh, yes. I mean, you made this conscious decision to have this type of connection. Yes. What are some of the things that you are apprehensive about? And how do you deal with it? Yeah, I think that the gospel is supposed to be risky. Yes. That if it's safe, God's not in it. Hello, Samo. So Kanye called us with a four day notice and said, can I come? Can you come? I will meet you there. Right. So I opened it up. And most of the people who were critical of it go to a church. So I wasn't looking for them. It was the largest number of young adults I've had at that church to the extent that I had 500 people waiting in line at 630 in the morning. So however it is, I got to get them in church is wonderful. And to those who couldn't see the vision, 156 millionials got saved that day. Why? And so all of the small clears, it's worth it all. Everybody's got to go back into what is their priority. So we got backlash from influential artists in Atlanta about a second offering. And the hypocrisy for me is that they bemoaned that when just coming from a strip club. Oh, wait a minute. And so you have no issue. No, that's not about us. I don't know. What you do with your money is fine, but you can't besmirch those who are really doing community development and engagement against those who are coming down the public. And so I'm just coming back from the Bahamas, from getting 56 young people who were left because of the hurricane. And yesterday I dropped them off at Hampton University. Oh, that's a great question. Free home, free home. And none of the rappers who had an issue with me gave money to those students. And so he the apartment solution or your apartment problem. And so I think that the church has really got to get to a place where we're unapologetic about our boat and our stands. And you cannot have that position if you're not doing the work. Oh, well, then there's that. We need to keep a down to the floor. Oh, well, that's a table. That's a table. I want to talk about that just a little bit more, Pastor Brian, because we had Kier Shier here just the other day. And she was talking about her collaboration with like Missy Elliott and Sir The Baptist. Tell me what can we do, especially when we have those traditional church folks that kind of snicker and sneer down when they see this emergence of the gospel world and the secular world. Tell me why do you think that emergence is so important in this day, Nate? A few weeks ago, I played in church, Frankie Beverly, a maid. Yes, that's what you wanted to play. Come on now. Come on now. I want people to show how to get enough dancing for they realize what was playing and where they were. So the people who have an issue, they know the music. And so let's not act as if we are witness protection and we only listen in the mahali of jazz. Not yet. And James Cleveland, I'm going to have some level of balance. Jesus ate with sinners and publicans and prostitutes and gangbangers. And the church has got to go back to doing that. Because most of our churches are dying. This is the largest demographic of black people who don't go to church. Dick Gregory said to me some years ago that in the 60s, when black people were in trouble, they call on Jesus and NAACP. And now here's a generation that doesn't call on Ethan. Oh, why not? And so now we've got to do something to make Jesus relevant to a generation that doesn't own him. Wow. Right now. You talked about Republicans, Democrats, you saw our campaigns on the vote. I'm in it. It would be fantastic. What does the church need to do to make sure that our folks are signed up ready to go and ready to make a change? I'm a baby at the NAACP. And mega-ever's put together a prong of three points. Voter education, registration, get out the vote. And so the church has got to be influential in educating our voters as what's important and matured to know everybody who's our color is not our kind. Just because you're black, that means you have a black agenda. And so all of the issues that you all talked about circling education, that there's more student loan debt than there is credit card debt. When we talk about health care, that there's no universal health care for a charitable diseases that impact our community. My goodness, my goodness. Well, Pastor, your church recently partnered with Delta for the efforts of relief for the Bahamas. How can our audience get in on that in health? I've got to do two shout outs. One as Jeff Blue gave me a chartered plane to put all of the students to take the hand to yesterday. Wow. So I got a cell of Jeff Blue. And Delta Airlines, for those of you who are friends of this show has given me four cargo planes. One for the next four weeks. If you ship whatever donations you want to send to the Bahamas, we're going to take it to Delta. And for the next four weeks, we'll make sure it gets to free-port in that. They need to bring to the church. Yes, they can send it down to Newburgh. Wow, that's amazing. Wow, that's amazing. You're not sending to Delta, Delta. That thing is on lay-off. That's fantastic. That's fantastic. I've got to plethora things. We'll put the information on social media as well. Thank you. So we can help you fill those planes. Help, man. Can we give it up for Pastor Jamal? Why did you? Thank you. We're sticking around and what you're doing for everybody. We appreciate you. And thank you for letting God use you. Thank you, man. Thank you, man. Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you. Or again, you can keep up with Jamal Brian on all social media platforms at Jamal H. Brian. He's very active. All right. All right, follow him.
