I’ve been watching for a minute now. This is my first post. I binged for a while and couldn’t stop watching! To be honest I’m still struggling with the whole church thing! But God got me! This was a refreshing podcast next to Hardly Initiated. I felt like Paul when he tried to convert some of the scholars and one said you have almost convinced me to believe!!!! Go look up that scripture it’s in the New Testament! Anyway Laterras. God Bless you! You’re on purpose!!!

[@DearFutureWifey]

Thank you for revealing what I need to pray for. I'll keep planting seeds. I just prayed for you. Can't wait until you give a testimony on how the Lord changes your heart towards Him. As a matter of fact, I'll just minister to you right here. Bernadette, do you realize God has a divine plan for your life and the only way you'll fully know the instructions is by reading the Owner's Manual? He knows your inner workings and He loves you unconditionally. He desires to be in relationship with you and wants you to give Him your life. Romans 10:9-10 states, "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." It's a simple as that. If you are ready to experience everlasting life recite, "Lord Jesus, come into my life. Forgive me of my sins. I believe you died on the cross for me and that God raised you from the dead. Teach me how to become more like you. Amen." If you stated that, you are saved. The LIT Fam is here to support you on this journey and you are officially my sister in Christ. If you accepted Christ as your personal Savior, comment below. If you're not ready yet, that's okay too. We'll keep praying for you.

[@atiyaparson3025]

Thanks again for having us. We had a great time. Looking at this video is so bitter sweet for me though. I can tell I had been crying. The day before was an absolute nightmare. I had just found out my nephew was killed. Thank you God for giving me the strength to still show up and tell our story.

[@Lynipop1]

Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your story. I pray the Lord comforts you and your family and as time goes by you’ll find joy in the memories.

[@stephaniebowen1541]

So sorry about your nephew sending prayers and condolences. (Enjoyed the episode)

[@highlyblessed03]

Sorry for your loss prayers 🙏 for you and your family

[@lcjones4682]

Hate to hear about your loss. Praying for you. But know that your story blessed many people so thank you pushing thorough and showing up in spite of your grief. Definitely blessed me as a single woman looking forward to marriage.

[@tinarobinson1868]

Sorry for your loss. Prayers up for the Fam

[@shareenladd1048]

This was such a good episode. He reminds me of Al Green, Ron Isley and humorous like Tracy Morgan 😂. Beautiful couple

[@karenmcgee1869]

Yes. Lol.

[@alicetheegreet]

Tracy Morgan is who I was thinking of when I started watching this but couldn't put my finger on it. You're so right! His whole demeanor is very much Tracy Morgan-esque... LOL 😆

[@vanessiajohnson3279]

I can agree as a hardworking woman.... I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE LEADER IN MY HOUSEHOLD! #LeadMe

[@angeleyes3396]

Lead me!!

[@pksensation]

I am not proposing period

[@aubriellemorgan]

💯💯💯💯💯

[@blackqueen67]

Not at all!!!

[@J_Elle30]

Yeah he can go somewhere with that

[@ReShea90]

No way, no how.

[@kailanicoleman1375]

Amen sister haha!

[@cutenobi]

Great interview. As a Christian, I always appreciate people’s testimonies on how they transformed.

[@marguerites.4860]

This show never misses. I always enjoy the different stories & perspectives from couples & singles. I am not yet married but I enjoy these conversations because they keep me encouraged and also it reminds me I’m not alone in this journey. I pray for Laterras, all those who step a foot in to be interviewed and every single viewer I ask God to touch hearts & meet needs where they need to be met. I pray for Gods mercy and that he gives us wisdom as well as discernment when it comes to our daily walks & relationships.

[@blackqueen67]

Amen and thank you for prayers

[@gretablackwood]

Amen. Thanks for the prayer. 💜

[@MrsB565]

I do not believe it was ever intended for a woman to propose

[@EddieBsTakeout]

Agreed 👌!

[@lisac8420]

Agreed! And how Lateras broke it down was 🔥. Made total sense...

[@michaelenegrant]

I believe it’s just another counterfeit from the devil, just trying to mess with what the creator, God Almighty set. There are somethings a man should only do and vice versa.

[@healthfit313vegan5]

This episode was everything. I loved watching how genuine the Parsons are.

[@lb1798]

Doug IS HILARIOUS!!!

[@Kiaafyaee]

This was good episode! LT I’m glad you stood on your beliefs about women not proposing to men ! I was getting nervous when it took a minute for you to respond ! lol but I’m glad you got him all the way together and explained so beautifully!

[@DearFutureWifey]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@msvanessa8640]

Break it down Laterras! There is value in marriage🙌🏾💃🏽🕺🏽🎶🎶

[@Cherishbarber94]

I think women who say marriage is a piece of paper bc they feel like marriage won’t happen for them

[@neneakpan8281]

He says he will malfunction.🤣🤣🤣. That got my laughing and that’s how it should be honestly

[@janicetaylor1272]

That was so funny...he say she can see through walls 😂😂😂 Women become bionic 😂😂😂

[@Nicole-uu3zn]

The husband had a opinion on women proposing and the host went on triade 😂. Let that man have his opinion

[@franklinstatus4]

They blend well together! 😂😂 I can dig it!

[@j.o.y_aliba]

His so chill and fun and she is so beautiful and kind, they seem to get along so well!! I loved this episode. Their flow is amazing!!

[@bernadettegreaves5397]

Thanks for the prayers! I grew up in church from a baby! I’ve read the Bible from front to back a few times! I’ve said the prayers of faith numerous times. Ive gone to Israel and prayed at the holy wall!! I love God since I was a child! None like God I’m just struggling with the way the word has been taught to me and I can say I identify with many in the Bible I’m just in a space where life has been living and I am where I am today because of the experiences I’ve had!! Anyway I know God continues to work on me as I am becoming more pliable in God’s hold!

[@MsYolandaGail]

Omg, I just watched the proposal video. Sang Laterras! 😂😂

[@williemaeward1564]

It's the transparency for me. I just love it periodt!!!! Great and inspiring episode.❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@michelehilton4513]

Sis, so true about social media. I watched a Tubi movie called "The Representative ". It's a must see. Women stop being desperate! Focus on you & God and HE will take care of the rest. May God continue to bless your marriage. ❤️🙏🏾

[@veronicadiera1837]

I love this couple! he is too cool and she is lovely. Good morning yall!

I usually don’t watch this podcast but my mom loves it. I must say this was a really a good episode.

[@DearFutureWifey]

Thanks for watching it and giving me a try

[@nathifablanchfield8925]

Guys….Where your blinders and you GOTTA have BOUNDARIES! He better preach! 😂😅 I love how real they were and entertaining 😅. Thank you Laterras for bringing this couple on. They remind me of the typical couple we grew up around seeing that made it through some stuff and now we get to hear the stuff lol. Good conversation. I have to go run see the proposal video now ☺️

[@dawnjones6752]

This was a great episode, love the transparency of the couple. I truly enjoyed their story. Purchasing their books and will follow on KZbin. Thanks LW! ❤

[@annettebrowder1707]

Another great show. Loved their candor and the laughter. Transparency it was. Thank you,

[@leatricewalker8038]

This was an amazing episode ❤ I loved the authenticity and humor!!

[@aprildrake7958]

What a delightful conversation! My take away was the importance of starting out in friendship, setting boundaries and doing ongoing counseling to keep it all tuned up. Thank you so much L.T. for hosting this couple! ❤

[@andreamiller9748]

Love this couple and their story! Such a blessing!

[@alicetheegreet]

Your proposal video was everything Laterras! I watched it and was just awed the entire time. I can understand why you feel about only men proposing. Until I watched the proposal, I could see it from your guest's perspective more; and I couldn't intellectualize your point of view. Now, I get it. By the way, your ex-wife is very beautiful, and from the way you talk about her, she's beautiful inside too. Watching your proposal saddened me and had me crying, because I feel like if you two had met each other now without the history you two have, you'd be so perfect for each other. OK, I'm crying again. Time for me to get off this YT before I get another episode recommended to me to watch.

[@Thenewlife83]

That was a beautiful opening (before the video started)....❤❤❤

[@joycepack1265]

Great show. I live in Indy. I'm so glad you stand on the principle of Relationship that the Man should be the head and propose. I'm not settleling. Thanks L....Great podcast ❤

I would love to hear how they were able to withstand the pressures and temptations of a husband in the NBA traveling and the wife being a well respected musician/singer and being able to really say they “Still”.

[@cherwallace6026]

Men are hunters and there are lots of “prey”. I think that the hunter needs to ask the woman because I think in a sense he needs to be willing to humble himself to say: This is the one I need in my life, and I am not hurting women anymore. Personally, I could never propose to anyone, regardless of how much I love him. I can definitely present and let him know, it’s safe for him to approach…

[@wandamoore9582]

I’m going! Count me in!🎊🎊

What did you think about it?

I think it was very heartfelt and genuine.

[@peacemakerblessings7985]

Wow my first time here I love the intro song….❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@QueenNeLee]

I enjoyed this couple so much! He just reminds me of a cool uncle 😂 they seem to be really chill ppl! I was LOL when he said that he’ll be cool with a woman proposing because he was serious as a heart attack 🤣 although I don’t agree I like hearing different perspectives. One couple that comes to mind is Jim Jones & Chrissy off of Love & HipHop 😫 And Laterras you better PREACH when it comes to marriage only being “paperwork” I loved the analogy you used about a house title…baby I need to see the deeds “paperwork” in order for anything in my life to be official! 💯
