Forgiveness is never easy, but neither is an unhealed wound. Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to forget but it does mean to let go.

Forgiving is tricky, everyone says you should forgive, but no one tells you how. Forgiveness is a character, strength, and process that, when practiced, is associated with improved psychological well-being.

In this episode, the Kings break down forgiveness and how it has and still impacts them.

“The first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.“ -T.D. Jakes

As Kings and Queens, we have to be in control of our own emotions and not allow our pride and ego to control us. But the first step is acknowledging where we are deficient. Understand our ego or pride problems to correct them to live a life full of abundance. Be Real, Be Confident, Be Royal, Be King.

Be King today and every day.

This episode we discuss what it takes to raise Kings and Queens in the world today. With special guest B Murphy, dropping in to share his knowledge of raising his 6 sons and daughter.

We dive deep into generational parenting. Should we raise our kids the same way our parents raised us? Should we be strict and stern when speaking to our kids? Or more laid back and be more of a friend to our kids? We can all agree there are different tactics when parenting our kids, but which way is the right way?

The Kings discuss how they were raised and how it influenced them to be the men that they are today. This topic is so important because of how it shapes the world; the next generation will be the next police officers, judges, senators, boss's or even the next president of the United States. How the next generation is raised affects a lot more than we know.

For the love of money. In this episode of the KINGS Hour, the KINGS ask and answer an important question in the black community; Has money changed you? The KINGS relive what their impressions were about money when they were younger compared to what they know about it today.

Many say, the more money you make the more problems you have; or if you are making money you leave your past and old friends behind. If you make money you change into a whole different person, but is that true? Does making more money or improving your financial situation change who you are as a person? Money is a tool, and how you use that tool can open or close many doors of opportunities. Everyone grows up very differently, what you are taught and what resonates with you may be different than the next King or Queen.

Listen in as Walter, RoJo, Jojo and Sly explain how their understanding of the ‘Ol mighty dollar has influenced or change their mindsets in who they are today.
