On this episode of Breaking Our Silence, Lupe Moreno and her guest, Carla Webb, discuss healthy relationships.

Carla knows what it's like to feel unsafe, unhealthy, unhappy and unloved.  As a survivor of domestic violence, she has made it her mission to help people take back POWER and CONTROL of their lives.  She believes everyone deserves to be happy, emotionally and physically healthy, feel worthy of love, and have safe relationships.

After spending eighteen years as an educator and a lifetime in ministry, becoming a Certified Christian Life Coach has been a beautiful marriage of her passion for teaching with her desire to help people grow their relationship with Christ.

With Christ at the center of all she does, she will work together to help you figure out where you are, where you want to go, what are the obstacles standing in your way and how to take actionable steps to live the life you were meant to live. You can reach Carla at http://www.carlawebb.org/.

This three-part series began with “That’s Why I Don’t Go to Church: When the Village Fails - Part 1” (December 19, 2017) where Keyana Ri’Chards shared jaw-dropping accounts of the sexual abuse she endured, for more than 10 years, at the hands of her very own pastor, who was also her uncle. She told listeners, “watch your kids around family, pastors, everyone!” In “Wellness for the Unchurched: When the Village Fails - Part 2,” (January 2, 2018) Pastor Randle focused on a message for the pulpit and the pew. In  part 3, Pastor Randle returns with Pastor Scott and Pastor Wallace on January 16 2018. These three pastors will engage in discussions to tackle the ugly truth of the “called by God” taking “I can do all things” to ungodly extremes: sexual abuse, manipulation, witchcraft, mind games,  preying on the naive, misleading the innocent and the narcissistic pastor. The ultimate goal is to increase awareness, accountability and action for the pastor and the pew to stop all forms of abuse and return the church and community to align with God’s will.

Tune in to The JOURNEY as Allen R. Randle Sr., Pastor of Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church continues the discussion on That’s Why I Don’t Go to Church: When the Village Fails - Part 1. He has a message for the pastor and the pew, tackling taboo issues, addressing and bringing to light what’s often encouraged to remain in the dark. The wounded may find themselves questioning God, His existence and wondering why He allows bad things to happen in His church, because of a pastor’s misguidance, failing to provide wise counsel and overstepping sacred oaths and boundaries. We must move beyond the deep wounds, scars and cover-ups that cause Christians to refuse to attend any church!  This segment aims to help pastors heal and bring healing and wellness to the pew, to help the unchurched kindle or rekindle their relationship with God so they can fulfill their purpose and reach their destiny.

Our guest for tonight's program, author and speaker, Mr. Eric Elliott, challenges many long-held beliefs about what it means to be a real man, and shares with us principles from his book, Onward to Manhood: Establishing Godly Masculinity.  Mr. Elliott challenges Christian men to reassess the way we are raising our sons and mentees to become godly men, husbands, and fathers in our 21st century society.  Among the topics we will be discussing are: Why some men find it difficult to grow up from boys to men; Is the belief that some have that black males are failures true?; If there is a problem with black men, is it the result of poor parenting?; Can single moms raise boys who become responsible men?; What does it mean to be an "Insignificant Man?"  Although Mr. Elliott has a technical background, he is firmly entrenched in manhood as a husband, father, son, brother, teacher, friend, impact speaker, and author.   From each of those platforms, he's extended timeless encouragement to numerous friends and associates. Join us tonight and share with us your viewpoints on manhood.
