[@PacificMoceans]

I've never been that "i don't need a man" kinda woman. Nah, I've always needed men in my life from a healthy approach. Interdependently. The work inside, facing the mirror is the hardest shit to do for most of us. I can just imagine what men have to deal with because so much is expected of them. They're expected to be providers, great in the bed, be handy, to deny their emotions outwardly, to protect, and to be a plethora of other expectations. Protect our men with respect, but be firm on accountability, trust and believe men need that. Level each other up.

So many women out here are already "doing the work" We're going to the seminars, reading self help books and know the importance of what it means to be internally better to exude and be a better person overall. Men, not to take away anything from the ones who do, but there are plenty who arent doing the work. Black men I love you all so much but not enough to continue to pacify toxic behaviors. Black women are surpassing a lot of you in so many areas and now it’s your turn to really learn how to heal, love and lead. I could not be more grateful for Devon taking the time to bring light, share and open up dialog for great conversations especially from a spiritual aspect on these topics!

When I was with my ex girlfriend and used to go around telling my mum that she was the one and I love her and I would never cheat and have never cheated... she looked at me and said “don’t worry, you’re just like you’re dad and every other man, it’s in your blood. It’s not up yet” I was left speechless! Made me think like it was gonna happen so when it does then I shouldn’t be surprised and she said “when you do she either gonna be weak and leave or she’s gonna be strong and stay” I felt sad for her because she was talking about her and how her parents brought her up. That was the direct link to how my dad used to treat her smh

I love this conversation. This is exactly what my pastor was discussing. It still all boils down to making a decision. Goodness and truth in this interview. FYI, this conversation is not speaking for all men. In addition, he never said women don't cheat. Mind you instead of so called giving women game about how you can think like a man, he's simply addressing men of issues they may or may not be dealing with, because as women we can help, but we can't train or neuter or even change a man unless they make a decision to change. Men are not really animals and we (women) are not owners, vice versa.

[@r.m.4260]

"Sometimes the only thing a man will understand is pain....A man who's really in touch with the Master in himself, when the woman steps away, its a catalyst for change." I'm going through this right now! My girl of 5 years (on & off) wants nothing but space and time (w/ no deadline in sight) and its killing me! We've never gone w/o speaking, so this is torture. I've literally begged for her to start fresh but she needs to see a change in behavior, over time. That immediately sparked the need for change and the process of doing the work. I need to be a better man, and it took her cutting me off to take it serious. The scariest part is not knowing whether she'll fall out of love with me, start dating and fall for someone else, or just not want me back at all. She can be pretty cold when she's over something. We never had a cheating issue, more so not being vulnerable, verbal abuse, and treating her as if she wasn't good enough. Just trusting and believing that God will show her my efforts and restore her faith in me being the man she can trust to grow old with. I'm all the way committed to this change..it hit CTG at 37 and it's hitting me at 33. it's time! These are definitely hard times though man smh

I may check the book out. I've never cheated on anyone, but there could be some mental jewels in it. It's all about being better at the end of the day. If you don't fix or enhance your foundation, how can your house stand?

[@Tomi_janet15]

Exactly

[@MsClever26]

Exactly. also note it's not just a matter of never cheating on a woman, have you pursued and committed to just one? From his message dating without intent (dating multiple women) also hurts women and also signifies feeding the dog instead of mastering it

[@Wgaunichaux]

@@MsClever26 It's not a particularly a thing I do. I don't date multiple people at a time. There's spells where there will be some in secession of the other, but I mostly keep to myself and work on my personal development.

[@MatrixRC]

Nothing to say because what he is saying is true. I'm not going to deny or fabricate an excuse on why I don't agree. I'm happily married 10 years and a baby. Gotta master the dawg to the point of euthanasia

big facts my brother

[@azureavocado5195]

why is restraint and respect for your wife so challenging???

[@MatrixRC]

@@azureavocado5195 we can say the same but I wouldn't say challenging but having a since of awareness when those urges arise and playing out the consequences.

[@ledonahentley4488]

Grown man stuff right there. I think the book and message is for men who are ready to grow.

[@reesecupinthemil]

I loved this interview. I will be purchasing the book for my husband and myself to read. I myself had went on this spiritual walk as I call it in my late 20's. We women to have the lust issue. It is something for most humans to overcome. To not be controlled by the flesh. I got married a second time almost two years ago. I recently had to walk away from my marriage for 4 months. My husband and I recently got back together this past week. I can truly see some changes and really feel like he wants to out in the work to make our marriage work. I have been talking to him over the years about his behavior throughout his life because I knew him growing up. I told him the things he has done to me and other women in his past, that he wouldn't want it to happen to his Mom, sisters or daughter's. This show touched on so much for me this morning. It was pure confirmation for me. I will continue to master my KITTY KAT! Thank you Devon for a great book and how you articulated the book on the show today. Great show Breakfast Club.

Amazing interview...Its time for our black men to rise up and be the Kings they are born to be.

[@EbonySays]

I believe you attract who YOU are. It starts with love of self!😘😘😘

[@ThurstMETV]

Ah the law of attraction so arguably would you say that the women who attract "dogs" are attracting what they are right?

[@EbonySays]

@@ThurstMETV I suppose I am. I just think that the energy you put out is what you get in return. Dogs pick up on the scent of a woman who can easily be manipulated and take advantage.

[@ThurstMETV]

@@EbonySays That implies that she is a victim. But with your original statement there has to be some "dog" in her to attract a "dog" to which I agree to. There arent too many victims out here.

Be Amazing today!!!!

[@blaccpanther8715]

Its a brilliant message, it's exactly what psychologist Carl Jung conceptualizes as the shadow. As humans we have proclivities shaped by thousands of years of evolution, but the flip side is that our brains frontal lobe govern cognitive behavior, the lesson is that we have the potential to usurp the negative parts of our primal behaviors by confronting our 'shadow' and integrating it within us in a healthy but not destructive way. Men who let lust destroy their relationships and lives are not using enough cognitive power.

[@2KGrind09]

I don't understand what's so hard about being faithful to a person you "love?"

[@najmaj]

He's handsome and speaking truths....um.....where can I find a man like this?? 😣😣

This is really good interview man. He giving game to both sides.

[@BrookeElise81]

I LOVE this guy, he is SO wise and disciplined. I love his union with Meagan too. THEY are relationship goals!

[@shes_setapart]

Faith comes by hearing the word and everyone isn't ready to face and receive the truth. If you're offended you're part of the problem 🤷🏾‍♀️ Devon continue to uplift the Kingdom and spread the gospel! This world is starving for men of God. A change gon come...

[@sanoflight15]

do you subscribe to the theory of God or do you truly believe?

[@AdedotunFolarin]

ADAM WAS DOING FINE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN UNTIL EVE SHOWED UP, SAMSON WAS DOING FINE UNTIL DELILAH SHOWED UP, AHAB WAS TRYING TO REPENT AND DO THE WILL OF GOD BUT HE WAS MANIPULATED BY HIS WIFE JEZEBEL. SO WOMEN YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM TOO. AND THE TRUTH IS WOMEN DON'T MIND YOU LUSTING AFTER THEM, THEY JUST DON'T WANT YOU LUSTING AFTER OTHER WOMEN EXCEPT THEM AND THAT IS THE TRUTH.

Mr. Franklin is such an encouragement. He constantly challenges the status quo and calls us to be our best selves as men! I pray this book truly changes the narrative and makes us step up to the plate of responsibility. Salute.

[@Simplyunashamed]

I have a son now. I'm reading this book and all the books on healthy manhood. Lord, I pray you give Moms a heart the wisdom to guide our little guys to become men after your heart, who know, accept and love themselves, and lead their families in the fear of the Lord, in truth, with strength, compassion and honor. May we raise children- especially boys- who won't have to recover from their past. Amen.

Man this is so real... It takes a level of maturity to recognize that it's time to hang up the bullshit.. It's HARD! Living as a reckless man the majority of your life, that's all you know.. It takes a conscious and consistent effort.. Most of us ain't ready for that kinda commitment... Let alone a relationship...

[@GuidedbyCrows]

I've never been a dog. Never cheated. When I'm in a relationship then I'm good with that. I have other interests and hobbies other than continuing to pursue more women. Cheating, lying, have never been my struggles. My relationships end due to me moving far away or incompatibility.

[@ricardosime2654]

I love how he breaks this down. As men, we have to learn how to control our inner desires and truly ask ourselves if fulfilling these desires truly worth losing an amazing woman in your life?
