Forsake Not the Law of Thy Mother

Forsake Not the Law of Thy Mother

Forsake Not the Law of Thy Mother Proverbs 1:8 In this heartfelt episode of It's Been a Journey, Shenelle explores the wisdom, sacrifice, discipline, and prayers behind a mother's love. What did Solomon mean when he said, "Forsake not the law of thy mother"? From the boundaries we resisted as children to the lessons we appreciate as adults, this conversation honors the mothers who loved us enough to say "no," teach responsibility, and point us toward God. Whether raised by a single mother or blessed with a godly mother who trusted Christ, this episode is a reminder that some of the greatest blessings in a man's life began with a praying mother. Join us as we reflect on the lasting impact of a mother's instruction and the legacy she leaves behind.

So many of us have learned how to function while still hurting. We’ve mastered showing up, smiling, and pushing through—while quietly carrying pain, disappointment, and even church hurt that was never truly healed… just covered.

We talk about: • How “Take the Bandage Off, Sis” was birthed • The real phases of church hurt • Practical steps to release pain and people • How dormant pain shows up in your life • A message for both women and men navigating emotional wounds This is not just a conversation—it’s a call to confront what you’ve been covering and step into real healing.

Introduction: I Found you When No One Else Did! (Ezekiel 16)

“I Found You When No One Else Did” -Based on Book of Ezekiel 16:4–6 In this powerful episode of It’s Been a Journey, we explore what it truly means to love someone from their broken beginnings—without holding them hostage to their past. Drawing from Ezekiel 16, this conversation unpacks how many relationships start in seasons of struggle, but are tested in seasons of growth. What happens when the person you helped build… no longer needs you the same way? Can love survive when healing changes the dynamic? And are you in love with who they are—or who they used to be? This episode challenges us to examine the difference between loving someone in their struggle versus honoring them in their growth. It speaks directly to couples, marriages, and anyone navigating relationships where healing, change, and emotional maturity are required. If you’ve ever loved—or been loved—at your lowest, this message will meet you right where you are. -Join us May 4, 2026 @ 7PM CST for our upcoming live episode: “Take the Bandage Off, Sis” featuring Jovie Wilkerson Because covering wounds… doesn’t mean they’re healed. #ItsBeenAJourney #FaithAndLove #RelationshipHealing #Ezekiel16 #MarriageGrowth

“COVENANT OR CONVENIENCE: When Love Was Real… But We Treated It Like It Was Replaceable”

Everybody wants real love… but not everybody knows how to honor it. In this series inspired by Ezekiel 16, we’re unpacking what happens when love starts off genuine—but gets mishandled through pride, neglect, and broken trust. This isn’t just about relationships… It’s about accountability, healing, and asking the hard question: Did the relationship fail… or did we? *Covenant or Convenience — a journey through love, betrayal, and the truth we don’t always want to face.

Live Version: You Don't Know me with Co-Host Cherrell

Let’s talk about it… A lot of relationships aren’t breaking because of lack of love… They’re breaking because of lack of understanding. Some men think they know their woman—but they’re loving who she used to be… not who she is now. And instead of asking questions… Instead of relearning her… Distance creeps in.Silence shows up. And sometimes… they step outside the relationship trying to find what they never took time to understand. In this episode, I (Shenelle) sit down with my daughter and co-host Cherrell Ball to have a real, honest conversation about: * Misconceptions in marriage * Emotional disconnection * Why understanding matters more than assumption * And how love without knowledge can slowly break a relationship This one is for the married, dating, and “we trying to figure it out” folks. Tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: “Am I still learning my partner… or just assuming I know them?” And men—I’m opening the floor for you too. If you’re ready to talk, comment: “Let’s talk.”
