    Season Finale | The Women's Ministry Nobody Wants to Talk About

    What does it really mean to be Sisters in Christ, But Not Family? In this powerful season finale of It's Been a Journey, host Shenelle Ball-Green is joined by Prophetess Stephanie Saunders (The Flow Encounter, Inc.) and Prophetess Keesha Brown (Towdah Praise Worship Center, Inc.) for an honest conversation about biblical sisterhood, church hurt, spiritual maturity, forgiveness, unity, and authentic relationships among Christian women. Together, they discuss why women who love the same God sometimes struggle to connect, how to heal from wounds caused by other women, what true biblical sisterhood looks like, and how we can move from division to unity in the Body of Christ. This conversation isn't about exposing women—it's about encouraging healing, restoration, accountability, and genuine love among God's daughters. 📖 Key Scriptures: Psalm 133:1 | Ephesians 4:3 If you've ever experienced church hurt, longed for authentic Christian friendships, or desired healthier relationships in ministry, this episode will encourage, challenge, and inspire you. Subscribe, follow, and share this episode with another woman who needs to be reminded that we are called to be more than sisters in name—we are called to become family in Christ.

    Who Are You Listening To? | Father's Day Special with Bishop Ralph Brown

    In this powerful Father's Day episode of It's Been a Journey Podcast, host Shenelle welcomes Bishop Ralph Brown for an honest conversation centered on Proverbs 1:10-19 and the voices that influence our lives. Every day, men and women are faced with competing voices—friends, culture, social media, family, past experiences, and the voice of God. But which voice are you following? Bishop Brown shares wisdom on how the enemy uses subtle influences to pull people away from their God-given purpose, why discernment requires time in God's presence, and how spiritual blind spots can hinder our growth if we allow them to go unchecked. He also discusses the importance of godly mentorship, intentional change, unity within the Body of Christ, and the role women play in encouraging men through love, patience, and wisdom. This episode challenges listeners to take inventory of their influences and ask a life-changing question: What do you spend most of your time doing? Because the answer may reveal which voice has your ear. 📖 Scripture Focus: Proverbs 1:10-19 🎧 Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs this message. #ItsBeenAJourneyPodcast #WhoAreYouListeningTo #Proverbs1 #BishopRalphBrown #FathersDaySpecial #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #Discernment #GodlyWisdom #SpiritualGrowth

    Forsake Not the Law of Thy Mother

    Forsake Not the Law of Thy MotherProverbs 1:8 In this heartfelt episode of It's Been a Journey, Shenelle explores the wisdom, sacrifice, discipline, and prayers behind a mother's love. What did Solomon mean when he said, "Forsake not the law of thy mother"? From the boundaries we resisted as children to the lessons we appreciate as adults, this conversation honors the mothers who loved us enough to say "no," teach responsibility, and point us toward God. Whether raised by a single mother or blessed with a godly mother who trusted Christ, this episode is a reminder that some of the greatest blessings in a man's life began with a praying mother. Join us as we reflect on the lasting impact of a mother's instruction and the legacy she leaves behind.

    Introduction: I Found you When No One Else Did! (Ezekiel 16)

    “I Found You When No One Else Did”-Based on Book of Ezekiel 16:4–6 In this powerful episode of It’s Been a Journey, we explore what it truly means to love someone from their broken beginnings—without holding them hostage to their past. Drawing from Ezekiel 16, this conversation unpacks how many relationships start in seasons of struggle, but are tested in seasons of growth. What happens when the person you helped build… no longer needs you the same way?Can love survive when healing changes the dynamic?And are you in love with who they are—or who they used to be? This episode challenges us to examine the difference between loving someone in their struggle versus honoring them in their growth. It speaks directly to couples, marriages, and anyone navigating relationships where healing, change, and emotional maturity are required. If you’ve ever loved—or been loved—at your lowest, this message will meet you right where you are. -Join us May 4, 2026 @ 7PM CSTfor our upcoming live episode:“Take the Bandage Off, Sis” featuring Jovie Wilkerson Because covering wounds… doesn’t mean they’re healed. #ItsBeenAJourney #FaithAndLove #RelationshipHealing #Ezekiel16 #MarriageGrowth

    “COVENANT OR CONVENIENCE: When Love Was Real… But We Treated It Like It Was Replaceable”

    Everybody wants real love… but not everybody knows how to honor it. In this series inspired by Ezekiel 16, we’re unpacking what happens when love starts off genuine—but gets mishandled through pride, neglect, and broken trust. This isn’t just about relationships…It’s about accountability, healing, and asking the hard question: Did the relationship fail… or did we? *Covenant or Convenience — a journey through love, betrayal, and the truth we don’t always want to face.

    Live Version: You Don't Know me with Co-Host Cherrell

    Let’s talk about it… A lot of relationships aren’t breaking because of lack of love…They’re breaking because of lack of understanding. Some men think they know their woman—but they’re loving who she used to be… not who she is now. And instead of asking questions…Instead of relearning her… Distance creeps in.Silence shows up.And sometimes… they step outside the relationship trying to find what they never took time to understand. In this episode, I (Shenelle) sit down with my daughter and co-host Cherrell Ball to have a real, honest conversation about: Misconceptions in marriageEmotional disconnectionWhy understanding matters more than assumptionAnd how love without knowledge can slowly break a relationshipThis one is for the married, dating, and “we trying to figure it out” folks. Tune in, reflect, and ask yourself:“Am I still learning my partner… or just assuming I know them?” And men—I’m opening the floor for you too. If you’re ready to talk, comment: “Let’s talk.”
