CEO's Blog, Conversations Of A Sistah, What she said

If Your Pastor is single…he’s OUT OF ORDER!! Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Jamal Bryant

Why is a single pastor OUT OF ORDER? Because marriage is considered a normal state, the married pastor has the protection of his wife. Not his mother, lover or undercover brother but the protection of his wife.

Your married pastor is supposed to have the status of a leader in the home, the fulfillment of the marital relationship and thus the freedom to relate to the congregation as one who is already committed within the covenant of marriage. Your pastor should also be one who is able to serve as a model for other men within the congregation and the watching community. If he (your pastor), is NOT operating within all of these and more, he’s OUT OF ORDER!!!

In 2012 I semi-addressed this topic in a blog post as to why I would not belong to a church where the Pastor is single. Why? Because I believe in this particular leadership position, one ought to have a partner to be an example for its members that; love, faithfulness and heterosexual relationships are God’s ultimate plan for man.

Conversations Of A Sistah, Happiness, Health, Tracy L. Bell

What would make you happy? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Happiness-Hands1

Researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy? For some it’s money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits that affect our well-being.

However, the emerging field of positive psychology is bursting with new findings that suggest your actions can have a significant effect on your happiness and satisfaction with life. Good or bad, happy or sad, we all have to live with the decisions that we make.

Recently in a letter I received from one of my loyal Ceo bloggers and listeners they stated:

Dear Ms. Bell,

What makes us happy? My girlfriend seems to think that she can only be happy unless she’s in a relationship, outside of that nothing else matters to her. And she’s constantly comparing herself to other woman regarding looks, accomplishments and success.  Until I asked her one day: what would truly make you happy? She couldn’t answer me.

Because we BOTH love your online show, please, please address this as a “Conversations Of A Sistah” show topic. Thank you I will await the subject.

Per request, join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss and ask the question: “What would make you happy?” I will also share the top ten (10) things scientist say will make you happy. 🙂

“DEPRESSION” is the discussion…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Depression may be described as feeling sad and blue, unhappy, miserable, down and withdrawn. Most of us have felt this way at one time or another in our lives but for short periods.

On Monday actor/comedian Robin Williams was found dead by his personal assistant in the bedroom of his California home. The coroner’s report indicated the comedian’s cause of death was “suicide due to asphyxia.” The actor suffered from severe depression.

Robin Williams was an incredible actor and a comedic genius, who apparently masked his pain and struggles in his stand-up routines. But who really knew he was depressed?

There are several forms of depressive disorders, join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss depression and the foundation needed to combat such a state.
