    Is Your Life In Jeopardy

    What if everything you've been chasing, money, houses, cars, the "bag," is actually keeping you from what you truly need? And what if what you already have in your hands is the very key to unlocking everything you've been praying for?In this powerful episode of Let's Talk About It with Pastor E, your host takes a deep dive into the often confusing tension between our wants and our needs. He breaks down why God prioritizes your needs over your wants, how capacity and trust play a role in your breakthrough, and why the miracle you're waiting for might be closer than you think, starting with what's right in front of you.Using the timeless story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, Pastor E reveals a mind blowing truth: the disciples showed up with "nothing," but they actually had baskets in their hands, and those baskets became vessels for overflow. The same applies to you. Your peace, your joy, your love, your health, these are the needs God wants to fill first. Once He can trust you with those, He can trust you with more.If you've been stressed, overwhelmed, or wondering why your prayers about money and stuff haven't been answered yet, this episode is your wake up call. Stop chasing wants. Start stewarding needs. Because when you get that right, the multiplication is inevitable.In This Episode:[01:49] Introduction to "Let's Talk About It"[02:13] Wants vs. needs[03:36] God fills our needs first[04:46] The miracle of feeding the 5,000[08:36] What's in your hand?[09:08] The importance of peace, joy, and love[11:53] God must trust you with money[12:37] Taking practical steps for your wants[13:41] God's plan of healing and deliverance[14:59] Conclusion and final thoughtsNotable Quotes[02:52] "The things we want is us as people — it's usually something tangible that doesn't mean anything.

    The Million Dollar Question

    What if the very questions you’ve been avoiding are the keys to fixing your spirit? In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E flips the script on the classic game show Jeopardy, because in life, you don’t get answers handed to you. You have to ask the right questions. From childhood wounds that still ache decades later to the silent “whys” we never speak out loud, Pastor E gets personal. He shares his own scars, both literal and emotional, and opens up about crying out to God at 40-something over something that happened when he was 17. No polished sermons. Just real talk about trauma, purpose, and why your spirit can’t be fixed until you start asking: What happened? When? How? Why? Whether you’ve been hurt by abandonment, abuse, or just life’s cruel turns, this episode is an invitation to stop running from your questions and let God turn your negatives into positives. Your breakthrough isn’t in pretending you have all the answers, it’s in finally asking for them. If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs it, and make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next.

  3. Master Your Response

    Master Your Response

    What if the real issue isn’t what people did to you, but how you respond to it? In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E continues the conversation around the 2026 theme: “Spiritually Fixed in ’2026.” He challenges listeners to look deeper at one of the biggest spiritual traps we face: taking offense. Pastor E explains that while people may hurt us, offend us, or betray us, the real battle lies in how we respond. According to him, the enemy’s strategy is simple: get you offended so you react from hurt instead of truth. Once offense takes root, it shapes your reactions, fuels revenge, and keeps your spirit from healing. Using biblical examples like Jesus, Peter, and Joseph, Pastor E shows how true spiritual growth happens when we respond differently than our pain expects us to. Whether your trauma comes from rejection, abandonment, abuse, or betrayal, the path to a healed spirit starts with taking responsibility for your response. If you’re ready for your spirit to truly be restored, start with one powerful shift: refuse to let offense control your reaction. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [01:08] Continuing the “Spiritually Fixed in ’26” message [01:36] Understanding the spirit, soul, and body [02:17] The enemy’s strategy: offense [03:34] Vengeance and hurt people [04:17] The responsibility of our response [04:59] The enemy testing identity and reactions [05:26] Jesus in the garden and choosing obedience [07:35] Responding from offense vs responding with love [08:00] The command to love and show mercy [08:50] Ananias and Sapphira and the power of honesty [09:46] Jesus as the example of mercy [11:28] Joseph’s story and responding with forgiveness [12:14] Trauma and how it shapes our reactions [13:05] Letting God handle vengeance [13:28] Why offense damages the spirit [13:59] Testing your response with those who hurt you [15:00] Learning truth through honest conversations [16:05] Taking responsibility for how you respond [16:20] Final challenge: respond better, even when it hurts [16:44] Episode wrap-up Notable Quotes [02:17] “One of the biggest tricks from the enemy is to offend us. We take offense. That’s the biggest problem.” — Pastor E [02:34] “ I can't offend you as long as you don't take it. It's just that simple.”— Pastor E [03:25] “We’re responsible for how we respond.” — Pastor E [03:44] “Hurt people hurt people. Vengeance is ours and it doesn’t matter what happens to them. We wanna be the one to inflict the harm back.” — Pastor E [04:59] “The enemy never wants you to know who you really are.” — Pastor E [07:35] “Once we’re offended, if we took offense, we’re gonna respond from the offense – and then the enemy has you.” — Pastor E [12:42] “How do you respond to the thing that caused trauma in your life? This is how your spirit is going to be fixed.” — Pastor E [13:36] “Nobody can offend you unless you take it. You make it part of your spirit.” — Pastor E [13:50] “ God tells you, now, guess what? I'm preparing this table in front of your enemies. Our first enemy is our family or friends, the people that are close to us because they're the first people that hurt us, and God is saying, okay, they're at the table. Lemme check your response.” — Pastor E [16:33] “ Say it again. I'm responsible for how I respond, so I have to respond better even though it hurts.” — Pastor E Reference: Let's Talk About It S1E16 Let's Talk About It Podcast Apple Spotify Pastor Eric Brown  Website Email

    Spiritually Fixed in 2026

    Are you letting your flesh run your life? Whether it’s addiction, lust, or habits you can’t seem to break, many of us feel spiritually stuck. In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E introduces the 2026 theme: “Be Spiritually Fixed.” He breaks down the three parts of the human experience, spirit, soul, and body, explaining how living "flesh-first" traps us in destructive cycles. Real healing, he argues, begins with one thing: telling the truth. Not a polished version, but your raw, unfiltered story. Pastor E opens up about his own past, sharing his struggles with womanizing and dishonesty. He warns that hiding behind masks is like "feeding an alligator", the more you give in, the more it demands. Whether your roots are in abandonment, abuse, or addiction, you must stop letting others define your narrative. Hurt people may hurt people, but healing starts when you stop pretending. If you're tired of being ruled by your flesh, then this episode challenges you to take ownership of your story so you can finally move beyond it. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [00:35] Spiritually fixed in 2026 [01:22] Overcoming the flesh: the role of truth [02:43] Pastor E’s personal truths [03:52] Blame, hypocrisy, and feeding the flesh [06:28] Changing social norms and consequences [07:29] Owning your truth [08:42] Trauma and coping mechanisms [09:57] Identifying the real problem [11:06] Breaking the cycle [12:18] Spiritual identity: good vs evil [13:30] Episode wrap-up Notable Quotes [01:07] "If your spirit isn't good, you aren't good." — Pastor E [03:33] "I was looking for something, I don't know, maybe it was just love, because I believe 97% of us are all looking for love." — Pastor E [03:52] "My problem is my womanizing, my lying, all of these things are who I am or who I was." — Pastor E [04:11] "You're never, ever going to get spiritually fixed without your truth." — Pastor E [05:43] "Our problem is, when we feed our flesh, it feels good." — Pastor E [07:49] "If you're going to lie about it, you ain't never, ever going to be spiritually fixed." — Pastor E [08:19] "Nobody could tell your story better than you." — Pastor E [10:02] "The real problem could have been the rape, the abandonment, whatever it is, hurt people hurt people." — Pastor E [11:13] "Your spirit is exactly who you are; this body is a shell." — Pastor E [12:55] "The more you overcome, your spirit will be fixed." — Pastor E Pastor Eric Brown  Website Email

    If you don’t believe it’s possible, you won’t overcome it

    In Part 2 of this episode, we go deeper into the real stories behind the faith. Apostle Andrew said something that stuck with me the whole time, if you don’t believe it’s possible, you’ll never overcome it. We talked about mindset, expectation, and really trusting God even when life doesn’t look like it’s lining up. Apostle Steve shared a moment from his childhood that changed everything for him. But what stood out to me wasn’t just the encounter, it was the decision to walk away from what he was raised in to follow what he truly believed. That cost him something, but it shaped who he is today. I also got real about my own story. The mistakes, the close calls, the things that could’ve taken me out. That’s why I stand on transparency, because you can’t talk about redemption if you’ve never needed it. We closed on character and connection. Who you are matters, and who you’re connected to matters. One thing that kept coming up, believe in people, build people. If you’re in a place where things feel stuck, just remember… you might not control your environment, but you carry something that can change the atmosphere. If this blessed you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs it… and say something so we can talk about it.

    Surviving, Rising, and Answering the Call

    What if I told you that going from zero to hero is not just a slogan but a lived reality for those who refuse to let their beginnings define their destiny? In this compelling episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E welcomes two remarkable guests from Ghana, Apostle Andrew Huckman and Apostle Steve Paintsil, for a deep, heartfelt conversation about faith, identity, trauma, and the grit required to rise above life’s hardest seasons. Together, they unpack what it truly means to come from zero to hero, carrying not just personal ambition but the weight of entire families and communities on their backs. Apostle Steve shares a brief but unforgettable moment from his childhood: waking in the middle of the night to see seven radiant figures dressed in white enter a room and anoint his dying cousin. That single encounter shook him, shaped him, and set his spiritual path in motion. Apostle Andrew reflects on his own journey of hardship, from surviving without parents to building a ministry, a school, and even a hospital that now serves countless people in Ghana.

    Prioritizing Your Commitments

    Happy New Year. As we step into a fresh start, Pastor E asks a question that can shape your entire 2026: What are you truly committed to? Most people don’t fail because life is difficult.

Not in a selfish way, but in a way that honors God and positions you to pour into others from a place of strength.

    Leaving Old Patterns

    How do you take your present, your here, and finally leave it behind for there?
