Thank you!!🙏🏾🔥

Your ex-wife was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT-- MEN benefit from wife's labor, leaves her for the YOUNGER WOMAN who gets ALL THE BENEFIT-- it's REALLY SAD for a Man of God to DIVORCE HER which breaks with God's Word, then shame her the way you did. To add insult to INJURY, ALL of you keep laughing about this SHAMEFUL STRATEGY. BELIEVE ME--She feels HURT & USED. Being that she is now OLDER, who is going to marry and/or take care of HER?? Honestly speaking, this is HURTFUL to the possibility, viability and stability of marriages EVERYWHERE. PLEASE talk to your Creator God about this SHAMEFUL, ADULTEROUS TREND 💔💔💯💥😮‍💨

[@Gracious240]

Honestly Bishop Davis rubs me off the wrong way. Firstly, it’s sad to hear he only married his first wife because he wanted to USE her skills and credit to build - and now that he’s done building, he would like to enjoy the fruits with a younger woman. Secondly, there’s something off about the way he describes being a Bishop as a career with its pinnacle being on TV. I thought the whole point of being a Bishop was to win souls and Shepherd them for Christ. Thirdly, when asked about pre-marital sex - he’s response should have been grounded on the Word of God not “everyone should do what they feel like” cool-aid. Grown folks will do their thing but I’m shocked a Bishop would even give this advice. Also it’s so cringe when I listen to the double standards of the hosts. You’re in the streets dealing with hoes but you look down on women with murky pasts just as bad as yours. It’s almost like you despise your own reflection. Why judge a woman harshly for doing exactly what you do. And the weird analogy of wanting a younger woman so it feels like you’re introducing her to new things an older woman already knows - what happen when the younger chick matures and levels up to the point that those things no longer excites her? I usually enjoy your episodes but this one exposed a-lot of faulty ideologies.

[@Trishell1013]

I agree. You will know them by there fruits

[@First12love]

All I can say is thank you. As someone who professes to be a Christian, it doesn’t matter what my flesh (i.e. thoughts) says, If it doesn’t line up with what the son of God Jesus Christ, then I’m out of order. We can’t be on the fence about anything trying to appeal to the general public. Trust me, God is not pleased. Also, WHERE IS THE STANDARD? I will listen to some of these podcasts, especially when people are speaking logical facts… however, I’m also keen on what I’m listening to, if it’s foolish, I turn it off. Just because a person finds a lucrative way to make money discussing relationships, doesn’t mean the person has done their fair share of counseling, training, or coaching people. To the host, I haven’t heard the whole episode, but I appreciate the questions. I’m only 7 minutes in and I see the looks on your faces… the look of disbelief, confusion, or “What are you talking about look?” You guys are doing great, keep up the great work!

[@MsEngineer42]

I expected to hear Christ's/God's standard from the Bishop. It is also disappointing to hear the double standards that you gentleman are willing to partake in with women willing to bless you with their bodies but they are of no value, considered trash when they've done exactly what you have done. I pray that the women take the advice to really listen and keep it moving. If all women would hold their bodies sacred and wait until marriage, promiscuous men (grown boys) would have no choice but to grow into the King, God requires of them, but when sex is handed out like free candy discipline will never be developed.

[@ResplendentRaider]

Yes, he doesn’t seem like a bishop at all, maybe a bishop for the world, or one that portrays one on tv. And then explain how one can break covenant with God, but then re-marry?? Unless your spouse dies, or one commits adultery, one is not expected to re-marry. Even with adultery, reconciliation should be attempted, but if not then that person has the right to break covenant. So a lot of what he’s saying just dont sound right to me, again it sounds of the world.

I feel people overthink and over analyze how a relationship/marriage should work. But it’s simple. I agree with Bishop. I do cover the main bills. But my wife still works because she went to school for her career. She works 40hrs a week and most days from home. So she does the majority of the housework and cooking. I work 70hrs a week and I came home today to her in bed with a migraine. I made dinner and did the cleaning. Simple

Thank you for this comment! I teach my son to have integrity and not put a woman in this position by using a woman who you know has feelings for him that are not reciprocated! There is no integrity is whoredom! There can be integrity in honesty and finding someone on your same level who wants exactly what you want exhibited by actions and not just words. But most times a man knows that a woman wants more and he still engages in “casual sex” knowing she will likely be hurt in the long run by the interaction which is a definite lack of integrity!

The more men speak the more I hate them the more they confirm my suspicions. They're predators who prey and take advantage of people's mental well being. I have begun to hate men not because they are men but due to their mindset. This is why we're not replacing children at the rates we did women no longer want to have children with selfish assholes

@Down with the Clique definitely we will have sex if we are in love/serious that's the point. If it's not on the table up front it becomes very clear who is interested for sex or who is interested for me. That's what I mean about seeing his character some will completely switch just because they want sex after 1 or 2 dates. Personally I don't even know them yet so that makes me uncomfortable. If they get mad I know I made the right choice. If they understand/respect it that makes me more interested bc I know he wants something real.

Yes indeed! I told The soul I’m interested in and getting to know that it’s not wise for us to have sex with each other! Mainly because I want to be in love and loved back!

Stop listening to these men! Stay away from them until one comes along and sees you as a human being, not a tool/object for his existence!

[@gogoldiego]

[@realty8551]

Who teaches this identity? It was the family/society before the world collapsed from wars, industrialisation, migration/travel and, capitalism that comes with all that. Today, the only hub of hope is the church of Jesus Christ, whom this bishop is misrepresenting like he is his first wife. Something quick to remember here: the Church is the bride of Christ, who, I promise you, Christ will defend at all costs. So, any soul lost because of defunct teachings/doctrine like the one being presented by this bishop, will be judged. Ask Moses, King Saul, King David, King Slomon and do never forget Judas Iscariot. Christ will give a healing again. Amen.

[@S7Beauty]

I get a lot of this but it also shows a man’s CHARACTER when he decides to USE a woman based off his judgments of her not “valuing” herself. Ladies stay sharp out here cus a lot of the men will use being a AINT shit as just being a “man” ..

[@sonnetiaquarles4248]

I don't know how I feel about this episode. In one instance some of the things said makes sense. On the other hand are men encouraged to marry young because an older woman is not enough? Not sure what that is all about. People are people everyone should be judged for who they are. I know lots of older women who have young energy, but because they also have life experience and gained knowledge they are not as desirable because you think she might not stroke your ego? I get mixed messages with this podcast . Recommending and lifting up the younger women as the most desirable, means many middle aged women like myself should just try to keep hope alive? I am not bitter or angry, just trying to understand what the message is here. I know nothing is black or white, but the conversation probably made a lot more men consider young women, instead of focusing on the right women. Also, integrity is doing what is right when no one is looking. Is sleeping around with a woman you deem as damaged an act of integrity on the man's part? We are only responsible for what we do, our own choices. Karma doesn't just visit the person, it can visit their children. You treat someone's daughter or son wrong, and someone will treat yours wrong. Just saying to think about what you say. What is the message you want to send? Thank you.

[@lightoverdarkness3078]

As a person that believes in the the gospel of Jesus Christ....I am disappointed the Bishop gave a wordly POV on sex verses using the platform to exalt the word of God and encourage both men and women to abstain from premarital sex no matter how prevalent in media, how many past sexual experiences, and how old you are. Our bodies are not our own. We belong to God. Our primary problem is living in YOUR OWN truth that brings so much pain vs being safety of GOD bc HIS TRUTH (JESUS TRUTH) is the way.

We all want to be validated by something. That looks different for everyone. "Let he who is without ___ cast the first stone.." Like Kanye said.. "we're all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it.." I personally appreciate that Ryan allowed himself to express himself openly. Self-awareness on this level is an example of POSITIVE masculinity. It's an attractive paradigm of a man having the desire to be the [LEAD]-ER. The Head. Encompassing a GREATER intelligence and receiving admiration from a woman, in her feminine energy, presents a rarely sought-after balance. Can we NORMALIZE [OUR] MEN BEING VULNERABLE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CRITICISM, or do we have to point out that which may present as a flaw, or may be considered an area of self-adjustmentment (and to whom?), to justify some type of misplaced communal advancement.

Is it not written that two people cannot walk together unless they ARE agreed ( somewhere in the book of Malachi); and whst of the Bereans who investigated the claims of Paul to see if these claims were true ( this is somewhere in the book of Acts)? Look, the Bible tells us not to remove the ancient landmarks, what our forefathers established. But sadly, this modern generation first do not have a landmark ( read Heb. 1:1-2), the old adage/knoedge by which our forefathers navigated the universe. Thus with or without Christianity, life has been preserved by rules, part of which govern the conscience, the heart and marriage. And Christianity, being the only solid religion on the planet earth, came to enhance thesel landmarks, make their realization easier and better ( Eph. 1:1-9: God has given us, through Jesus Christ, all blessings in heavenly places, and has made us rich and heirs of the Kingdom riches). Still very sadly, we find defunct represantion of these realities. Back to trust: trust is built and earned rather than presented to lazy people on a silver plate; thus to say trust is a choice is very inconsistent with the landmark principle of our forefathers ( Heb. 1; Rom.1), and only presents an individual as having a defunct worldview and a victim to the object of to the trust. This leads to manipulation. There's so much to write here, but; 1. Let people strive to have common sense( ask the Holy Ghost for it. He has it in plenty). 2. Let people excercise their freedom to speak( see I did not say freedom of speech, but TO speak). No one will kill you for speaking your mind. But even if they did, God would have allowed it. But still in your freedom to speak, excercises the Holy Ghost. Be blessed and remain wise, in Jesus glorious name. Amen and Amen.

The deep rooted misogyny that only men can like $ex and women have it as a lack of value is disturbing at this point. Please have conversations with a $ex therapist or coach. Men and women are equal $exual beings and both display less promiscuous behaviours with maturity

[@alegnarolyart5133]

That's why it's often hard for a woman to help a man build or stand by him while he's building ... because he could always leave and enjoy his success with someone else.

[@kamed.]

💯 Men do this ALL the time!

[@mariamoncadajamaicamelovet3995]

My dad kept it real with me and I’m so thankful. My body count is very low.

[@karadaiMM]

Was interested to see a Godly perspective was disappointed not to find that

[@tudy7487]

😂 Exactly

[@michellejohnson5459]

I agree with a lot that was said. Your guest is very knowledgeable. I constantly hear men worried about how many men a woman has been sexually active with but it goes both ways. A woman doesn’t want to be with a man who has been in a whole bunch of random Coochie either! And we women have much to work on. We shouldn’t be giving away our goods…it’s precious! Period.

[@kathywalker9546]

With all due respect, this comes off as an old player training young players. This is really why marriages aren’t working because of this do what thou wilt mentality. Interview RC Blakes and maybe you will be blessed enough to have a marriage that can withstand the test of time, Instead of looking ridiculous by dating someone half your age, whose interest could possibly be only your money.

[@kathywalker9546]

exactly what I was thinking

[@shannonwhite6591]

I feel in the flip side, if the man values himself, he would not rack up women either.

[@tryjames1ify]

I found this episode to be so interesting a real conversation on many levels and help as well. Then too read the comments for the other prospective. And still found it mentally stimulate. Thank You ALL

[@cj100517]

It’s funny how he said he used his 1st wife as a stepping stool for success. What do you think this younger woman is using him for?

[@dgo9121]

I heard enough in 30min not to trust this guy.

[@dacoldest3896]

@@dgo9121 lmfao

[@cw781]

I got that too; quite sad Really sad how the host stamped it

[@TT-nu4qk]

I think you missed the whole point. Most marriages are a business arrangement he gave her his prime an older woman and children love listen he is speaking his truth. Look at tribal arrangement for marriages its who can strengthen the family power with wealth not love

[@krazyscientist]

@@TT-nu4qk She wasn't that much older than him, his prime ended before he married his ex wife, he said they were married for 20 or 30 years, he also mumbled that he had a baby while married to her and immediately change the topic. He's clearly a womanizer, and preys on young women and don't too many men marry during their prime anyways, she's not even a decade older than him so she's not an older woman dating a much younger man they are the same biological generation, and right age grouped together, he was obviously promiscuous and cheating during his marriage.

[@girltalkforgirlz]

58:05 as a 22 year old woman this rhetoric is so gross. Seeking out a woman to build you up just to abandon her- for someone that you want to use to take care of you when you’re old and give you an illusion of status? Good luck with that .-. had me in the first half

[@fionajewels8807]

Bishop is a shell of a man. I don’t care what he says.

[@michellecole5189]

Relationships can be great when you mutually love, respect and honor one another. Understanding that in this day and time roles change. Like bishop said we as women do love sex just as much as men do but for me it has to be in a Monogamous relationship. Life is only complicated because people make it that way. Money is important but not the most important thing in a relationship. My opinion only thanks for allowing me to share it. PEACE AND LOVE ❤️ 🙏❤️

[@pat4502]

I’m kinda lost with this convo…bcuz dude says he agrees with casual sex with women…but in the next breathe starts talking about Womens body count…the hypocrisy… I mean anybody can lie about their body count but that clean bill of health says a tremendous amount

[@joyellejackson3280]

I heard the Bishop say, don’t judge a woman on her body count because we all have a past!

[@tierajacques4345]

To each its own. While there were good points in this episode. This episode did not sit right with me on so many levels. This is the perfect reminder to continue to pray, seek, and trust God for a beautiful relationship and stay off KZbin and other platforms seeking worldly advice and insight on relationships.

[@fpatillo]

Teach the young ladies who they are in Christ Jesus Knowing who I am in the Lord increased my value and standards

[@YTRoss44]

Great conversation. I miss My Father. Bishop My Father talked to me like a Man. He told me what he was doing after he divorced my mother, his ex wife. He gave me the good, bad and ugly. This is why I DONT have a body count. It truly starts with the man in the mirror. Thank you all for this conversation,.

[@delanabrown28]

A high value man is a man of God. And what's in your bank account doesn't matter when it comes to love. That's why most marriages not doesn't work

[@NIDIJU12]

Bishop Blake got me wanting to get into something serious 😊

[@18WheelsNHeals]

So glad Bishop was on this show and his words were valuable

[@rocknew1624]

Young brothers, you focus so heavily on a woman's body count, while simultaneously racking up your own high body count. Do you recognize the spiritual impact freely throw it all around has on any person?? You're also devaluing yourselves.

[@sheiswomantomessalynn5562]

I think with anything/anyone we listen to… we have to be able to pick and choose what works for us! Everything someone says is not the gold. We should measure everything by the word of God. This is why everyone should have their own relationship with God because the Holy Spirit will let you know what advise to adhere to or not. Some things he said i agreed with some stuff I didn’t. Your spirit knows y’all lol. Personally for me. There’s only a couple MEN of God I will listen to and that’s RC blackes, pastor Ron Carpenter and Myles Munroe. I do not stray. Lol

[@vivianwilson603]

The HOLY SPIRIT WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU KNOW SIS🙌🏾💯🤞🏾🙏🏾

[@desireescreen4781]

"I got you," my God. That's paramount!!

[@lydiadennard9383]

It's not guarantee that a younger woman going to take care you! I see it on daily basis.

[@CaramelD1]

Bring Bishop back regularly 💙💜💙💜

[@Habeshamorena8]

Whewwwwwwww baby idk who ordained him😢😢, This is why the word says "STUDY to show thyself approved." And why it's good to know the word for yourself. That way when you hear anything spoken that doesn't align with God's Written word you can reply the way Jesus did "it is written"

[@amberwilson8775]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Saysometh1N]

Regardless of a man being upfront about something just being sexual, if you know there will be casualties is that really integrity just because you told someone what it was. Honest sure. The part that is missing from that is having strong moral principles. Someone with strong moral principles would not discount themselves by engaging in this way. It is possible for men to devalue themselves too. Discounting is not just a woman thing. Men and women both have value and worth. Though it may be more acceptable in our society for men to be promiscuous, it actually is just as devaluing or discounting for them to behave this way in my eyes. In the example you shared, where you met a girl who you vibe with and she called you at 11 at night and asked about whether or not you smoked, you also discounted yourself by inviting her over and engaging with someone who is not what you are looking for in a woman. This is also the definition of discounting. Why waste your time entertaining or having sex with a woman or man you have no intention of being with or one you do not respect? Is it fair to make judgements on her and her worth only to be a willing participate in devaluing her because she doesn't know her worth. I'd say men in this position have an even greater responsibility. I believe this comment may have made you go down a notch in women's eyes who may have esteemed you as a high valuable. Something to consider... are you judging her but guilty of the very thing you judge her for?

[@chidieberenwaturuocha9672]

I have a better understanding of how to approach life from this interview. It has changed my reasoning process. Thank you guys for setting this up with the OG. Big Love ❤️

[@areyoufreeenough1372]

This Bishop is the man that is needed. A man without a vision is void and trying to attach themselves to whole women is an insult

[@ladya3838]

Sometimes, we can "all" talk less and listen more - men and women alike.

[@LynnieB19647]

Wonderful insight on dating. What an up close, personal, deeply Honest conversation. Makes me think, answers some questions that I’ve had concerning love.

[@abtransportationservice7195]

Women listen more and speak less he said.hope the young woman he is with right now is listening cause he never mentions anything about her being someone he love and respect. He just wants a care taker that he can have sex and have fun with.

[@krazyscientist]

He's basically a sugar daddy.

[@QYAH322]

That's Real Bishop !!! We NEED a Father's WISDOM ...

[@ErikasCorner]

When it relates to the daunting choice between obsession of success vs neglect, I hear in most cases that people always choose success. But then later on almost always they turn around and say they realize (when it's already too late) that they regret their choice. They say should've chosen the opposite. The neglect aftermath can sometimes be too high of a price to pay in the end apparently. I always wondered...how does one cope with the negative outcomes related to the neglect they produced?🤔

[@Heyu7her3]

The same is also said regarding the alternative. People want what they don't have.

[@Charlotte-990]

So what happens when the young wife/girlfriend gets older? A younger woman may love hearing that she keeps you young NOW but at the back of her mind she's worried and knows you'll leave her once the wrinkles set in. So you've an insecure relationship from the start and it will show through your lives

[@teresamarie7460]

When the young wife gets older, he will be dead. Hopefully, she saved some money wasting her youth on an old man.

[@gailmccoy751]

OMG, Thank you for the insight on things as a 62 yr old season woman.

[@mkh7967]

Once again the takeaway for women is to stop building with men and to get with one that’s already stable! You will feel used in the end of you don’t

This is good stuff- he was open and transparent.

Everything he has spoken of is spot on. Everything he has said, I have said to my children. Things I wish I knew back then.

Um Bishop is all over the place somethings off for me. A lot of things seem contradictory.

[@FaqueniRavel-nm7fs]

Im hurt listening to this bishop who doesn’t have convictions. Lord please have mercy on this bishop. He keeps saying I’m not speaking as bishop . Like hello then you are not a bishop. Is either you are or you are not and clearly he is NOT.

Right. It’s about the right upbringing not a specific gender of the parent. So many of our community was not raise my a mother or father but a grandparent and steered straight because of who poured into us.

Not sure how big the age gap but the younger partner is not necessarily getting the best over time. Initially yes, but it’s a trade off.

[@xiomarahewlett5677]

This conversation is too good! Especially the part about those building years and people getting neglected! So so true

If a man were to ask me about body count, I would be immediately turned off. & I've been abstaining for years. It would make me question your reasoning capacities which is significant as the man would be the leader.

Ask me about sexual trauma or sexual health. You know, the things that actually matter.

I worked in long-term healthcare for twenty years and I never saw a younger woman that wasn't a daughter, niece, or granddaughter visit a male resident. I'll let ya'll figure it out.

[@viktorija1264]

Wow... So much wisdom and knowledge in this conversation. And for the great men out there, if you are asking yourself if we, women want all those things from a man he said in the video, WE DO. Sending so much love and respect for all those men who are trying their best to be a respectful, honest, healthy leader, provider, protector(for women who know how to appreciate that). The world is really so much better place with you, and you give us hope that good healthy men exist! 🙏🏻

[@DairiesofaDarkSkinBeauty]

There would be no brainwashing of sex, morals, Money if people just follow the righteous word of God. There's really no need for the confusion. Keep it in your pants! Fix your credit! Be respectful! Period. Stop complicating life.

[@tanyaholt7451]

Amen to that Bishop

[@alexusrichardson318]

This is great to hear. Hmmm Good advice for women to know and reference. The MEN that should be MEN and knows what to present to a woman how to present himself WITH RESPECT FOR HIMSELF those men CAME ALONG DURING MY FATHER'S ERA AND ARE DEAD AND GONE! So to ALL THE WOMEN LISTENING TO THIS ADVANCE I PRAY FOR US AND GOOD LUCK TO US ALL🙏🏾🙏🏾
