The day kicks off with a powerful Faith Walk, “Speak Up, Brothers,” where Erica delivers a heartfelt message about emotional honesty, especially for men. Drawing from scripture, she encourages listeners to stop carrying life in silence and to reach out for help instead of fading into isolation. The message hits home as she talks about the danger of pretending everything is okay, reminding everyone that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s survival. That message blends seamlessly into the show’s uplifting energy with birthday shoutouts, prayer, and community support, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a support group than a radio show. 

In Healthy Ever After, Ayurveda practitioner Alana Atkins breaks down how holiday eating doesn’t have to wreck your body if you eat mindfully, slow down, and move after meals. She also talks about setting boundaries during the holidays so you don’t carry emotional stress that doesn’t belong to you. Later, during Love Talk: “Relearning Love,” Erica unpacks what real love actually means using 1 Corinthians 13—stressing patience, kindness, and maturity over toxic behavior labeled as “love.” Paired with Mr. Griffin’s emotional testimony about ongoing health struggles, the episode becomes a full-circle reminder that faith, health, and love are all connected—and you don’t have to go through any of it alone.

The morning begins with Erica’s Faith Walk on discipline, patience, and commitment, where she reflects on getting back into the gym with her trainer and how spiritual and physical growth both require consistent work. She emphasizes that no quick fixes—whether in fitness or faith—replace the daily grind, urging listeners to honor the body God gave them by putting in the effort. Throughout the hour, she reinforces the message that taking responsibility for your growth is an act of gratitude to God.  

The show also features a heartfelt interview with Bishop Bruce Parham, who shares the story behind his hit gospel single “Call on Jesus” and talks about preparing for his upcoming live recording in Trenton, NJ—where his daughter and godson will take part, making the moment especially meaningful. Later, Erica’s Love Talk dives into the power of hugs, explaining how intentional physical connection releases oxytocin and reduces stress, helping partners “reset” emotionally before heading into the day. Whether through spiritual discipline, renewed creativity, or simple affection, today’s episode centers on choosing actions that strengthen you and the people you love.

The morning opens with Erica’s uplifting Faith Walk, where she breaks down what it truly means to “go and make disciples,” encouraging listeners to move beyond passive church attendance and actively walk with people through their spiritual journeys. She emphasizes mentoring, teaching, correcting with love, and helping others grow—not assuming they “should know better,” but recognizing many were never discipled at all. Her message, pulled directly from Matthew 28:19, centers on purposeful Christian living and preparing the next generation with real guidance, not judgment.  

Financial expert Jini Thornton joins for Money Mondays, offering timely and practical advice as families face a high-cost holiday season. She encourages listeners to accept financial changes without shame, set stress-free budgets, communicate honestly with relatives, avoid pressure spending, and use helpful tools like Fetch, Ibotta, and store apps for savings. Thornton also highlights Giving Tuesday—reminding families that generosity matters at every income level.  

Erica closes with a heartfelt Love Talk about releasing control over your children and trusting that the lessons you’ve planted will eventually take root. Drawing from her own life, she explains that parents can guide, pray, and teach—but ultimately kids must make their own choices, mistakes, testimonies, and futures. She encourages listeners to exchange fear for faith and let their children stand before God on their own decisions, not their parents’ perfection.

On today’s uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, listeners were reminded that sometimes God’s greatest protection comes disguised as rejection. In her powerful Faith Walk, Erica shared how divine “no’s” can redirect us into greater purpose, a message echoed across countless Christian teachings about discernment and timing. Meanwhile, Healthy Ever After brought an important conversation as Dr. Ian Smith unpacked the silent mental-health battles many Black men face—an issue that has been pushed into national focus following several high-profile tragedies in recent months. Dr. Ian emphasized breaking stigma, increasing access to culturally competent therapists, and recognizing early warning signs, aligning with CDC data that shows rising mental-health risks among Black men nationwide. 

The inspiration continued with Erica’s heartfelt Love Talk, where she explained that real love requires discipline, effort, and doing what’s necessary even when it isn’t comfortable—a lesson backed by relationship-research showing that consistent, intentional effort is one of the strongest predictors of long-term relationship success.

The episode opens with a powerful reminder in Erica’s Faith Walk about the kind of God we serve—one whose word “stands forever,” even when life feels delayed or discouraging. Pulling straight from the pulpit-style encouragement she delivered live, Erica emphasizes that God’s timing doesn’t operate on our expectations and that believers shouldn’t lose hope just because blessings don’t arrive on schedule. Her message echoes common frustrations many Christians face, urging listeners to lean into God’s consistency, not human predictions or emotions.  

From there, the show shifts into practical empowerment for everyday life, including a Money Mondays conversation with AI expert Kim Fox Dunigan, who breaks down how artificial intelligence can simplify holiday planning—from budgeting Thanksgiving dinner to navigating Black Friday sales. The episode closes with a thoughtful Love Talk, where Erica addresses love-language barriers and how couples often miss each other emotionally by “doing for” instead of “doing with.” Drawing on real experiences from her own marriage, she teaches listeners how to bridge relational gaps by asking directly what your partner needs and learning to speak love in a way they can actually feel.

This uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell (with Dr. Kym Lee King sitting in) centers on next-level faith and next-level letting go. In her Faith Walk, Kym challenges listeners to release old versions of themselves, stale habits and fear so God can make room for “what’s next,” echoing Philippians 3:13’s call to forget what’s behind and reach forward. Bishop Joel Peebles’ Fresh Word Friday drives the point home, warning that “broken people break people” and urging you to watch who you let speak into your life, because your three closest friends often point to your future. Kym’s “Kymism” and thoughts tie it all together: God is the “master editor” of your life, pruning jealous, stagnant or one-sided relationships so your circle is full of truth-tellers, accountability and real love, not just hype and hidden resentment.  

The show also spotlights new gospel music and real-world headlines. Houston worship leader Leroy Thomas stops by to debut his single “On Time,” a choir-ready reminder that God shows up right when you need Him, and shares his Heartstrings Foundation, created to keep music education and artistry alive in underserved communities. In news with Sybil Wilkes, listeners hear about Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, honoring the six-year-old who bravely integrated a New Orleans elementary school in 1960 and became a lasting symbol of the civil-rights movement; the US Mint’s decision to stop minting new pennies after more than two centuries because each one now costs more than a cent to produce; and new USC research linking the dry-cleaning chemical PCE to a higher risk of liver fibrosis, underscoring why paying attention to everyday chemicals matters. Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day Dr. Willie Jolly reminds everyone that “your history is not your destiny,” and the team closes by pushing listeners to get back in a Bible-believing church, trust God’s timing, and let go of whatever’s holding them back from their next level.
