Yvonne Orji Talks Navigating the Unexpected, Therapy & Dating

[@NoraKong]

I love when living for God and loving him looks nothing like what religion says it should look like. This is a true relationship and it makes me so happy. Definitely encouraged

[@asanda138]

Well said Nora. 👏👏👏I love how she is just herself, she really understands that you do not need to change who you are. With His Guidance ,God will highlight what you need to change in you.I strongly believers she is relatable to many. She represents the Relationship with God aspect very well.

“I’ve seen too much.” That Part. If I had know the sacrifice of choosing this path at 18, I’m not sure that I would have chosen it. However, I’ve seen His glory in my life and I cannot deny it. His timing has proven perfect in every area of my life. My career did not take off until 33 and I am waiting to meet my partner as a 35-year old virgin.

Great interview. Yvonne is my soul sister, we share the same birth date and we are living for Jesus and waiting for marriage at 37 😄 I have my copy of Bamboozled by Jesus and it’s marked all the way up. Every day I’m rereading it because it’s relatable and real. It’s an inspiring read and motivates you to keep going especially in the ways she weaves scriptures into her personal stories. May our godly husbands find us this year 🙏🏾❤️

[@ayannagoring2796]

I was deeply touched by this. I am currently in the fine print season of my life. I am kinda down about everything. I recently made a big mistake and Im so hurt by it. I am sad and angry with myself. But I am still holding on to my faith in what God promised. Thanks for this again.

[@colleenr3358]

Sis, I understand the frustration, but if you’ve repented, please know that God already forgot and forgave. The enemy wants you to stay down, but remember that Christ rose so that you don’t have to.

[@asanda138]

Sis God loves you, you are the apple of His eye. He sent His only Son to die for you. No mistake will ever separate you from His Love.We ALL make mistakes big and small. The mere fact that you are acknowledging that you made a mistake is a step towards the right direction. Whatever it is that you did, I strongly believe that one day you will testify, someone will learn from it. Love and and light to you❤❤❤

Keep holding on to your faith. God has you

[@anitamudiaga9545]

3 Naija queens winning! I felt the same way as Pst. Stephanie when I saw Yvonne on major shows like Ellen and Kimmel promoting the book - the gospel is being preached. It's really full circle with her and the Dr that she saw preach when she was 17.

Yvonne, girl you’re telling my whole story; right down to the “I wanna be down” with Brandy and everything. 😂 I grew up Catholic and never knew anyone who was fly and saved and rocked with Jesus, heavy. I already had been married and divorced with two daughters by two different emotionally unavailable men when Jesus snatched me. He is SO good. Turned my whole life around. I’m waiting for the RIGHT one now. Closed my legs and opened my eyes 2 years ago. #Discernment

[@veemaliz5949]

Lovely conversation. Yvonne is so relatable and refreshing. I can't get over how she looks like Lira with this haircut!?! Love it! I know that all these ladies are speaking if marriage as something they deeply desire, but I just think they should also enjoy the purpose God has placed on their singleness. They will look back one day and be so grateful for how much they did before settling down. And they will have so much to tell their children about. Marriage is beautiful, but so is Godly purposeful singleness. Love you all

[@terrology]

I was raised Catholic and I literally had a similar experience...I didn't know you could have a personal relationship with God. Changed my life when I joined a smaller church and now I can't image life without talking to Him everday.

[@Maria-kg1nh]

In the last part of the video when Yvonne say "who got to that person", "who told them" like that they can't rep Jesus I immediately thought about that Bible Verse where God asks Adam they same thing, when Adam told God something that God had never told him or made apart of his identity. Genesis 3:11 "...who told thee". So, true that we just have to live for God and live in the identity that He has for us and NOT what the world says. Great interview and vibe, really. God's love and blessings to all!

The Kingdom of God is made better when people like Yvonne are speaking of His goodness. I love her authenticity and she is unapologetic about how much she loves Jesus. I loved everything about this!

[@veewalker4472]

Love love Yvonne. As I sat here listening to these 3 awesome beautiful women, I wept for them as I reflected on my journey of singleness. I'm now 54 and have gotten no closer to the fulliment of Love and Marriage as the day I gave myself fully to the Lord at age 24. I watch year after year all these absolutely wonderful women constantly proclaim their love for Jesus/God and to be chosen for marriage, yet I dont see the testimonies happening for their mates manifesting. It's not that I'm not believing for them, I truly pray all 3 are blessed beyond their wildest hope. I have remained steadfast for 30 years, as well as at least 17 close girlfriends who have 30, 40, 50 years of singleness, all have served God faithfully, honored our temples and not one has been blessed with healthy romantic love. The only peace in the midst of the wait is truly that God provides me such joy, peace and wholeness while being single. I just want to for once turn on a show and see men saying how they long for a wife and asking God where she's at. The problem, is MEN are not seeking God for the blessing of marriage. They all deserve a wonderful man and a beautiful family and I sincerely hope and pray they will all blessed, they all such beautiful, smart, successful deserving ladies of the best!

[@sfreeman417]

[@parkcitypj1]

I had the same experience finding God from a non-denominational perspective. I was brought up Mormon and could never connect to Jesus the way they worshiped. I was totally changed after watching Sarah Jakes Roberts' "Girl Get Up" sermon.... It had a profound effect on me and I knew I could absolutely relate to her story and her connection to God... It changed me, I'm hooked on learning more and seeing the Bible in a whole new light.

It feels sooooo good to know I. Not alone. Thank you God for giving me this message.

On the other side of not being a virgin but waiting on God’s promises, I pray everyone’s strength! I think knowing God’s plans for you are very important. I encourage everyone, including me, who are on the same path but a different walk to continue to be STEADFAST. When I see women like Yvonne who are saving themselves at a mature age it scares me. 🤣It also tickles me because I can tell that there are still people on this earth who live on Kingdom time and not Earthly time Amen. Bless up.

[@chatwithanns]

And that prayer at the end was just beautiful. Thank you ladies for encouraging us! I receive it. [Spoken by Yvonne Orji at 42.29mins in the above video] “Hey daddy, first of all we want to come before you and say thank you. Thank you for this opportunity to even be in this space, in this same room, with you and knowing that the presence of God is here. Hey God, I just pray for everybody who is listening who needs a touch from you. I don’t know if its the hem of your garment, I don’t know if its a high-five or it’s a hug - whatever it is God, they need a touch from you. They are in a transitional stage. They are in the valley of indecision, and God they are uncertain, there’s a lot of things not going right, there’s a lot of uncertainty of which way to go. Um, there are probably too many things going right. Wherever it is that they find themselves God, I pray that you will give them clarity and vision. I know that one word from you that is acted upon can cause an eternal-internal change in their life and they won’t even recognise themselves this time next year, God. I pray that you will meet every need exactly where they are God. Not too high and not too low God. Exactly where they need you to be. And Lord I pray you’d give them the confidence to surrender. I pray that you will give them the confidence to surrender to YOU, even when it doesn’t make sense. Even when it feels hard, even when it feels like they are going backwards. Help them to know that You plus Them equals a majority - that no-one can stop the plans from God on their lives, not even them. So, God I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding, God. That they may surrender their logic to your goodness, because God, the plans that you have for them, really are of good and not of evil. And even though it feels like you are setting them up, God, you are setting them up to be the best version of themselves. And I pray that they believe that. I pray God there be a transitional shift in their mindset, a rewinding, a reworking, an upgrade if you will - a manufacturers upgrade God. Reset them like we reset our iPhones. And Father, I pray as they lean in to your goodness, to your word, to your will, that their lives will never be the same. In Jesus’ name, Amen”.

I am a newcomer when it comes to Miss Orji. I first and foremost want to say how much I enjoy your courage, outlook, spirit and faith. It’s extremely refreshing. As a seasoned African-American woman rocking an TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) I appreciate your hair style also. I will admit that I have had limited experiences with folks from the Nigerian culture. But, I do know as a woman of African decent to rock a natural much less short cut for too many is intimidating. No shade! I originally started with natural hair due to struggles with finances at the time. I was terrified, but I trusted my then hair dresser. But I tell you the liberation was awesome! So awesome that I took my only child to the beach that day and actually got into the ocean with him. One of my now fondest memories. I sincerely wish you the very best in regards to your faith walk. Take care I wish you well.🙏
