Devon Franklin’s Next Chapter After Divorce

Best-selling author, movie producer, and motivational speaker Devon Franklin returns to the show. He joins our episode titled “Dream Catchers” to talk about his latest projects which include “Flamin’ Hot”, the inspiring backstory behind Flamin’ Hot Cheetosâ, and “Jesus Revolution,” a film that chronicles the 1971 monumental TIMES Magazine story about the growing Jesus movement in the south. Plus, Devon also gets candid about life after his high profile divorce from Meagan Good and the major life lessons he learned in the process. #TamFam, this is another one of those sit-downs that you do not want to miss!

[@l.mendes547]

I'm sorry to say this but also many women nowadays want to pray for that 'Godly' man, but not put the work for what it actually means. They want all the benefits and safety comfort of a God fearing man but continue with the same old ways as they were...once you pray for such a thing you have to be ready to fully take it in. He doesn't have a random job, he works for a mission but still adjusted a lot for her in support of her. We can't just ask for men to be accountable, we need to hold women accountable too. She was so butt hurt for being criticized by the Christian community but truly how can you pray for a life and then continue in your old ways, that's not how it works and it's very easy to hide in a victim role, yet he continued to stand by her. They were unequally yoked because she didn't take the effort to further grow... I really respect Shaunie who you can see how she's fully taken the time to not only grow but stand by her man and his mission. You can see the difference in approach and that she is taken up the full role of what that means. (Wish them both the best though in finding the best fitting person for them.)
