    It Will Be God | Sophia Ruffin Wilson

    Rejection can start so early you don’t even have words for it, and healing can take so long you wonder if anything is changing. From Houston, we sit down with Prophetess Sophia Ruffin Wilson, a Chicago native whose story holds nothing back, from growing up under pressure, to losing her identity, to living openly in homosexuality while still feeling a relentless conviction that God was calling her home. We talk honestly about what happens when churches focus on the outside first, especially when someone’s pain is visible. Sophia gives leaders, church kids, and pastors a better posture for discipleship and deliverance: treat people like humans, lead with empathy, and stop trying to force outward change as proof of salvation. Her words land hard and clear: “Let the word do the work.” She also shares how God transformed her from the inside out, even during years when her outward presentation didn’t match people’s expectations, and why that process taught her to stop living for opinions. Then the conversation shifts into grief and resilience. Sophia shares how she carries the loss of her mom, why praise can coexist with disappointment, and why therapy belongs in a healthy faith journey. We also dig into the message behind her book, It Will Be God, plus practical encouragement for single women who are tired of settling and still want a God-led relationship.

    Warryn Campbell on Producing, Pastoring & 25 Years with Erica Campbell

    Season finale. Five Grammys. Multiple platinum records. A church that started as a Bible study in a hotel ballroom. And a marriage that just hit 25 years. Pastor Warryn "Baby Dub" Campbell joins Jazz for the final episode of the season, and he brought the tea. Warryn walks through his path from PK and self described "preacher's mascot" to producer, to founder and pastor of California Worship Center, including the true story of how a 50 Cent shoutout accidentally filled his sanctuary on Easter Sunday. He talks candidly about the cancer diagnosis that pushed him toward the pulpit, working with Tupac while staying true to who he was in the room, his marriage to Erica Campbell, and why he thinks gospel music has drifted from authenticity. Plus, Jazz puts him through a This or That round covering Commission vs the Winans, Tupac vs Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre vs Babyface, Mighty Clouds of Joy vs the Canton Spirituals, and more.

    Why Are You Charging for a Book You Didn't Write?" A Father's Day Conversation on Pastoring

    It's a Father's Day edition of Thee PK Pod, and this one is personal. Jasmine sits down with her own father, Bishop Clifton Edwards Jr., for a conversation that goes from LA gospel history to hard truths about the current state of the church. Bishop Edwards has been pastoring for over 35 years. He brought Yolanda Adams to LA before anyone knew her name, worked alongside Thomas Whitfield, Maddie Moss Clark, and a list of gospel legends most people only read about. In this episode he gets honest about money in ministry, including the moment he questions pastors charging people just to access them as a covering. He calls out what he names "pastoritis," a generation chasing the platform without wanting the process, and explains why he's never wanted to be famous. They also get into his new venture, the Episcopal Training Academy and Conference, built to help pastors get the theological education the pulpit doesn't always require. And because no PK Pod episode is complete without a game, Bishop Edwards ranks his top three preachers of all time and goes head to head in a round of "This or That" covering gospel legends from Thomas Whitfield to Hezekiah Walker. A father, a bishop, a mentor to half of gospel music. Press play. Subscribe.  To learn more about the Episcopal Training Academy visit https://www.etacademy.net/ Support the show

    Cory Henry: Grammy Win, The Church Experience, and Why He's Done With the Music Industry

    We sit down with Grammy winner Cory Henry for a real talk on calling, church culture, and what it costs to keep creating at the highest level. He connects faith, freedom, and artistry, then gets brutally honest about burnout, streaming payouts, and why he’s ready to retire from the music industry but not from music.  Cory is a Grammy-winning musician, composer, and the creator of The Church Experience, a monthly residency at the Miracle Theater in Inglewood, CA. He grew up in Brooklyn playing organ by age three, performed at the Apollo by six, and has spent over 30 years navigating the tension between the church world he came from and the wider world he always knew he was called to. In this conversation, Jasmine and Cory go deep on the church kid experience from the inside: what it's like to have your gift controlled by church leadership, how to separate God from the people who claim to represent him, and what it looks like to build your own version of ministry when the traditional path wasn't built for you. They also get into the Grammy reality check, why Cory is walking away from the music industry (not music), the math that makes streaming unsustainable for independent artists, and what he's looking for in a wife. (Spoiler: she needs to have her own money.) If you grew up in church and ever felt like your gift was managed, minimized, or misunderstood, this one's for you. Be sure to share this out with a musician or artist that can relate.  #TheePKPod #Cory Henry #Podcasts #Music Support the show

    Faith First, Gigs Second: How Nisan Stewart Mastered the Double Life

    Pastor. Drummer. Producer. Nisan Stewart has worked with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, and Jamie Foxx, toured the world, and still shows up every Sunday to pastor Greater Emmanuel Temple in LA. In this episode, he breaks down how he learned to put the church first without losing his career, why he almost said no to pastoring, and what happened 40 days after his father installed him as pastor.  We also get practical for creatives and musicians. Nisan breaks down capacity, timing, burnout, writer’s block, and the slow grind of finishing big ideas. He explains why gratitude protects the gift, why professionalism keeps you booked, and why musicians can’t afford to wait around for “top artist” calls anymore. Plus, we dig into The Soul Seekers origin story and why he’s bringing back Praise Connection Underground as a monthly space for musicians, singers, and creatives to network and get covered in prayer. If you care about gospel music, church musicianship, creative leadership, and navigating faith in the entertainment industry, this one is for you.
