This series is life changing!! Black men conversing & demonstrating healthy authentic vulnerability will change generations.

[@latashaprice8546]

The biggest reason why black people did not have or the church mental health is because of money. Mental health is just now being covered and still is not fully covered as medical health. The church has been wanting therapy.That's why they've been wearing the pastor out with counseling. In the past pastors have counseled for free or with little love offerings. Therapy normally starts at $250 for the assessment and $150 per session. Economically families just was not able to cover that. So even the way that we speak on the church and what the real problem was, sometimes it's a false narrative. They would say pray about it because there was no answer that they could give. We need to have a conversation about having mental health as a part of health care fully. I need more than 10 sessions. I should not have to stop counseling because my insurance won't cover the other sessions that I need though I pay them every month. They get my money every month so I should be able to have as many sessions as I need.

[@3dkwms]

Why is it that in mega churches, we are not allowed to talk to our pastor? We can only talk to the assistant pastor

[@dngrn]

Definitely!

[@lisahill6817]

David man is really a strong person to be able to face his problems and actually put it out in public for the world to see. That takes a lot of guts and strength.

[@MathewGibson-w1k]

This is Awesome stuff!

[@msann1026]

This is one of the best podcasts I have ever seen. Black men keep healing yourselves. This is so powerful. ❤

[@Type2Thriver88]

Revolutionary 👊 thank you David Mann for creating a safe space for Black and Brown men which can help our community be better for future generations 👏🙏🏼❤️

[@billytria]

Yes much needed

[@jermaine3344]

I'm a female and I enjoyed the whole thing it got me to know that men go through things too so get me to want to talk to my son more often thank you and keep it going🙏

[@kmoore10197]

Great show, keep it going, bring on more episodes because it's definitely needed 💯💯

[@MANNTV]

More to come!soon

[@CoachTKA7959]

We as men need this! As Black and Brown men, we need it exponentially. This is powerful and timely! Please build on this!✊🏾💪🏾🙏🏾

[@quinnelmonte9435]

This was great. Men need a space to talk mental health without judgement, being dismissed, or overlooked.

[@toshistokes9277]

THIS is the beginning of something POWERFUL! It's a conversation men need and some won't acknowledge that they do! THANK YOU! 🙏🏾

[@niareign8482]

I shed tears and found healing watching this!! Dr. Tartt's work has changed my life and I am so grateful you had him on the show!! Bless you and Praise God!!!! 🎯

[@Harmony_chi_]

I’m 14y/o and I’m so blessed to see this it really opens your eyes to the real struggles that some men go through

[@phylliseasternshoreview1588]

This type of show has been something very needed. I divorced after 25yrs a marriage over 10 yrs ago. Probably still would have been married if my ex spouse had something even close to this. He didn't believe in counseling. But I did. But this show is awesome for men. Yes, kudos!

[@marysilmon6101]

Please continue this conversation..

[@Backpack16]

I loved the conversation, I had no idea, Israel, had his own story. I’m like Kirk, I’m going to talk about my issues. I’m a woman, but took great notes. The church, may not always talk about it, but God, is working through you all!

[@sherylegarrett8364]

It’s really good to see men own up to situations they were or are going through, becuz it’s really helping me already to open up about me!!! Thanks sooo much and I know y’all are bless and will continue on be bless

[@DRTARTT1]

This was the whole purpose. Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏾

[@latoriacheeks8845]

I so love this conversation!! I’ve taken notes on how to create a vulnerable space for my husband when I remarry. I’m sure you all saved lives with this recording!!! God Bless!!!

[@wicklesscandles-lotusoflov3255]

I really enjoyed this! Watching men talk about their mental health in a safe place and being vulnerable is SO POWERFUL AND NEEDED! Our men need this! So many men are suffering in silence and don't have to! I'm proud of all of them! This is an open door and invitation for other men to come forth and finally live in their birthright, being free!

[@debrathompson8048]

This platform is absolutely transparent. Thank David Mann and friends for the vision to do this. Mental health is real.

[@beverlybluitt8166]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤THANK EACH ONE OF YOU FOR SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL STRUGGLES DOING LIFE

[@lawondawilliams7273]

This is powerful! I love that the doctor was relatable, practical, professional, and spiritual! David keep doing what God has laid on your heart. Many men will be blessed and healed because of your testimony and work. Kirk and Israel were inspiring as well and have amazing testimonies and examples to learn from. I have been sharing this with every male I know and ladies too! This is good stuff!

[@LeesaBey-us7ub]

I just wanted to say thank you David Mann for always being a tremendous blessing ❤️💞🙏 &I wanted to say thank you all for your transparency 😊Each one of you have helped me tremendously!I laughed and I cried and I got delivered from y'all just playing your instruments!I danced I sung the lyrics and I watched the plays and shows😊I felt like I could make it I felt like I could stand❤😊😊 I just felt like Living because of You allllll❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm a Africa American woman ,single parent I've raised 7children by myself with God's help and i thank God for being alive today!Thank you LORD Jesus ❤ Thank you to the therapist and David Mann Kirk Franklin and Israel Houghton I appreciate you all❤❤❤I love you men of God!!!

[@carolynlilly3822]

Congratulations! David Mann for bringing forth a positive, safe place platform for men to come with other men to express their feelings. Many times we as women just don't understand, we can listen which is fine, but we really don't understand. Most men understand each other. We as women always have our home girls to talk to, but most men don't have another brother to talk to. So happy for this new journey of bringing men together. Now! Let me step aside & let you guys have your space.💯❤️

[@Lesia234]

I am just coming across this in January of 2024. I must say that this is the most healthiest conversation there is for men and for women to listen. Thank you because this the beginning of our black and brown men healing so they can be more for all people! Thanks David Mann sincerely from the my heart!!!!❤❤❤ Also I did watch Father’s Day and I appreciate the transparency and the ability to share with the public about life. Very courageous to allow the world to see into your life. It is not just happening to Kirk Franklin though but, this has have been happening for decades. I applaud you all👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@dawnie2302]

Kirk that is so true about the uncle who stayed in the room..becauae I had an uncle who was basically hidden and isolated because the family was ashamed and uneducated about mental illness.

[@demarcushill2199]

David Mann is my father figure of a real Man!!! He build structure in a mix family stepped up across the board!!! Im all in Im pushing to become the Mann he is balancing business a few kids and desiring to get remarried!!! Lets Gooooo Maaannnn

[@eileenodom1609]

“Repetition is the Mother of Learning and the Father of Action, which makes it the architect of Accomplishment” - Zig Ziglar So many more conversations like this one here. Talk about mental health more, talk about getting help more, tell your stories/testimonies more, talk about being vulnerable and opening up more, so that it becomes normal. Over and over, again and again. Show in the scriptures the mental health issues that people in Bible times exhibited and how those issues affected their lives and others around them and how they were or were not resolved. This was a wonderful start. More please!

[@karenwhite8680]

This is real truth, it’s been much on stages and platforms. But this is on the surface. Where everyone can grasp and understand. Especially what we battle within, without fear and being judge. Men to you all. This is fulfillment and some tools ⚒️ to equip to heal. Son Kirk this is your season for this. Yes God has gifted you and blessed you in your music 🎶 ministry. But this is what he wanted you to get to. To reach the world 🌎 God exposes us like an open book sometimes. We are the only one that can be the author in our books. Nobody can tell your story but you. Thank all of you for your God given courage. God masters all things he gives grace. 🙏👑⭐️

[@nursevirgie5714]

I’m proud of all of you brothers. Thank you for allowing this vulnerability of yours to be a blessing for others. May the Lord continue to heal you mentally and give you strength. Love you💙

[@DRTARTT1]

You are very welcome. I was honored to be a part of it. 🙏🏾

[@karenoree350]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND LETTING TAMELA HELP YOU

[@garyclement2888]

Very interesting and different. It's wonderful that someone took the time to create a show to deal with issues that men deal with, and focus on men. Everything about women and children, and very little about us as men. So this is a wonderful thing.

[@beverlybluitt8166]

It takes real courage to be so transparent no matter who you are and what you have accomplished so far,,and we All have untold stories on every platform of our lives ❤ ♥ 💜 💖 .

[@anikas.madison]

I love this series. I am so glad David Mann made the decision to do this. It is so important within our community to talk more about mental health and to show black men need to and should support each other in this area. Please keep this going. This is not only life changing it is live saving.

[@ladypace717]

"If I do, then others will be hurt. If I don't, then I will be hurt."...this statement...whew. THIS translates in so many ways.

[@growingisthepurpose48]

I am so Elated, Proud to the degree I want to cry.. Who is better suited to bring this to the forefront than culturally diverse, competent men who have experienced mental health, become vulnerable at various levels. Regardless of their education, status, spirituality, social acceptance, physical health and emotional health it gets results that are tremendous.. I salute you all...

[@MyVlogTherapy]

I’m so very proud of you all. This is what we’ve needed for a long time in the world and in the culture. The more we do this and be open, the more we all heal. You are loved. 🙏🏽✨

[@lou9294]

This is a true blessing for us as men to talk about what's going on inwardly with us thank you so much my brothers for sharing may God continue to bless you all's footsteps

[@MANNTV]

You are so welcome thx for your support.

[@bridgetp3989]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAVID MANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! God bless you brothers, who showed up to have honest conversation publicly!!!!! I definitely can tell that Kirk has been in counseling for years. The clarity in which he speaks! I hope men are tuning in.... and LADIES tell the fellas (man, brother, uncle, father, etc.) in you life about the conversation.

[@shirleycarter8241]

This is deep talk and yet desperately needed for male and female; younger and older. You all are helping others acknowledge the hidden issues within that many of us don't want to face neither talk about. Your voices sharing your personal experiences will help bring healing to many people. Thank you for pouring out to us today. God bless everyone.

[@Kekearies89]

I'm so happy and excited for this show. I love to hear men genuinely talk because it helps to be able to support and love them even when they are going through hard and quiet times. Love this so much❤❤❤

I Love How Black Men Or Men In General Can Talk About Their Problems Together And Can Relate!!!👏🏾🤲🏾💯🙌🏾

[@marcia1397]

I Am so thankful as a single parent with an Adult son, that might NOW find some answers about life for me. Thank you & Blessed LOVE ❤️

[@ranjohn100]

This has truly blessed me already. I was looking for some uplifting regarding mental health. Although I have positive ways of dealing with mental health, this was what I think I need as well. With this world and all the chaos of life, expectation that are placed on men, loss of love ones, our son's and daughters incarceration, sickness and health, ministry, leadership, parenting, being a husband, father, son, this all get really heavy on how we all deal with life. Please continue to have this safe place to communicate and demonstrate, healthy solutions to our challenges. Thank You

[@carolineburdette316]

Thank you do much Brother Mann, for obeying God, so that he can use uou to help do many men who are on the verge of loosing their man hood mentally, also the other guys, its so amazing , to see men whom we look at already got everything they desire, but yet they are & have been in the same space as our men whom feel they don't have much of any thing & that its to late, not realizing that, God created us all with a mentally emotionally physically & spiritual alikes, again thank you, 🙏

[@martij3220]

Like Kirk, I didn't know I had ADD until our son was diagnosed at 5 years old (and I was 28). I am grateful I had parents that didn't label me, and by the grace of God I learned how to manage my brain, especially in my High School years. I was raised by a Minister and Missionary, so prayer was constant. I may be one of the lucky ones that had parents praying behind the scenes. I will be sending this conversation to my son. Thank you David and may the conversations continue.

[@yashicajett7001]

As I am watching the likes and views are going up. I had to send this to my brother. I love this for the black man. As a woman I always thought I wanted a man to talk, but never did I actively listen. Thank God for leading you brothers 😊

[@shatayvuadukes2955]

i ❤it i am a woman and i went through mental health problems i seeked help halfway through and i was on my own the rest of the way and im still not open about my feelings so i can relate much respect for this conversation

[@vivinemavin7163]

This is awesome I love this seening men showing there feelings and talking about it this is good. They should be more things like this. May God bless you all Brothers for sharing and a special congratulation to Dave for this Vision to do this programme. I was so emotional when he was tearful. He's such a wonderful man of God inside and out. I really enjoyed your show well done men for all of your honesty. 🙏❤️❤️🙏

[@bettybailey9028]

I have a son and to grandsons I think this is needed greatly. Not only for them but I think it can help me as well. Doc thanks for the pointers on how to get the young boys to talk and open up my oldest g-son is 11yrs old and he lost his farther a month before both of they're birthday's and this let me know that he needs some therapy. So please don't stop this...🙏💙

[@DRTARTT1]

You’re welcome.

[@elizabethwillis3442]

This was such an excellent idea to provide a safe space for men to open up and not have to feel like they are less than a man for taking care of their mental health. This is very much needed.

[@astovall4678]

This was a great conversation among man. I'm so glad this is happening now..

[@mrs.burgess8642]

This is so necessary please keep doing this.

[@joy6369]

I thank you for this series because it gives women a chance to hear how men ? feel for real. Women let us not want to be who they are because, as I'm listening, I realize we caint do that in all realness. We lean hard on our men and that's how "others" get to them. We need to protect and work with them. Men are why we exist to be their helpmate.

[@julesm7791]

This in my opinion needs to be a part of your KZbin channel. I personally think that churches weren't teaching this when I was in my early walk with God

[@MANNTV]

We are working on thx for your support.

[@julesm7791]

@MANNTV I believe that when you started your own journey that's you wanting to help others 🙂

[@janiceprimo271]

Wow, this is a really good conversation. I'm a mother of two sons, and listening to these four men talking about mental health issues is a teachable moment for me . As a mother in a black and brown community, I am open to these types of conversations. Thank you all. Keep the conversation going .

[@babygrl2878]

The first thing that caught my ear is that men take care of everyone…. Black men and Women are fighting the same fight. Taking care of everyone but themselves. Can we say that’s a starting point? Understanding how that looks for each person and how it makes them feel?!? Thank you gentlemen for speaking your truths ❤️

[@renatafnedab3003]

The fact that we as a whole go with “ the church is a business.” , is something we have to work on.💯💯💯💯💯💔💔💯💯. The church is supposed to be the Body of Christ. I had to realize that as well. It took years to realize the church is supposed to be a relationship with other sinners that want to get healthy in Jesus Christ. I figured since we’re in therapy we should get to the truth.❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙏🏽💯

[@JoeDixon68]

Thank you. This series will need its own channel, its so rich in this one episode I look forward to what is ahead.

This is A Life Changer! I pray that you Continue These segments David Mann because this wasn’t just for the men, this is for the ladies too! If know your loved one is going through something, take the time to Really ask them how are they feeling and let them know before they respond back to be open and honest. We don’t want a shell answer, we want the truth whether it hurts or not. For those of us asking the question, remember your loved one is already in a vulnerable state, so please be patient and prepared to listen with an open mind and heart. This means be quiet and allow them to speak freely without judgement. Thank you for doing this live show. I shared this with my son who also enjoyed watching. He said this opened his eyes to a lot of different perspectives he was not aware of. ❤
