    In this powerful episode of NXT Chapter, T.D. Jakes sits down with Jason Wilson for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about masculinity, emotional healing, and the internal battles many men never speak about. Jason reflects on the viral moment that brought his work to the world — a moment that led to extraordinary highs, including meeting Laurence Fishburne and being recognized at the White House, but also painful lows when the moment was taken and repurposed without his consent by the popular TV show, This Is Us, impacting both him and the young men he was mentoring. From that crossroads of visibility and vulnerability, Jason shares his personal journey through grief, trauma, anger, and growth, revealing how unaddressed emotional wounds — including what he describes as the “mother wound” — can shape a man’s identity, relationships, and sense of self. Together, Jason and T.D. Jakes explore how suppressed emotions often surface as rage, isolation, burnout, and broken connections, especially for men taught to equate strength with silence.

Throughout the episode, T.D. Jakes challenges long-held ideas about masculinity, urging men to redefine strength through vulnerability, accountability, and emotional intelligence. The conversation touches on fatherhood, leadership, faith, generational trauma, grief, therapy, and the pressure men feel to always be strong for others while quietly neglecting themselves.
