No one is perfect. But the beauty in having a relationship with God, is even in our imperfections, He desires to be our Father and our foundation. The faith walk can have its share of challenges, and sometimes we can feel far from God, because of mistakes we’ve made, or because we simply don’t feel worthy to be loved by Him or anyone else. This episode is crafted to assure viewers that their feelings are valid, and that although being human is hard, they can be certain there’s nothing too hard for God and nothing too far from Him either. Crystal will have an open and honest discussion with a special group of friends and influencers, who like her, understand their humanness, and also their need for faith, forgiveness and a strong foundation in God.
Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Coming up on Keep It Positive, Sweetie.
I just said, if I go out with a full ball gown on and lashes from here to P Street, can't nobody tell me that God ain't still with me. That's right.
And when you get to that point, not to cut you off, when you get to that point, that is like the point where you know that In church, they say, you know that you know that you know. You know, and when you're able to get to that point, it's nothing that anybody could tell. Even if you're wrong and even if you fall from grace, you still know that you have your father and that he has you.
This episode is sponsored by Better Health. Hey, sweeties. There is so much stigma centered around therapy, whether it's stress, sadness, worries, or relationship issues. There's shame that is attached to it when it really shouldn't be. I initially started therapy during the pandemic because this is the first time I actually got to sit with myself.
With the hustle and bustle of life, we all tend to suppress some things and neglect it when we need help. When I first tried therapy, I didn't feel any mental clarity or that it was working, but that's because I was not being honest with my therapist. Once I found the right licensed therapist for me and I was honest, my world changed.

Chapter 2: How do personal experiences shape our faith?
And that's what people kind of miss. It was like at first I was like, I'm scared to watch it. They're like, no, it's a true story. I was like, OK. I was like, I can get into it. Cause sometimes when you just feel like they're like making up this stuff, but like, that was a real true story. And when I found you guys had a pastor that I was like, wow, that's dope.
He was on set the whole time. And he came by to everybody's trailer. Well, of course you had to say it was okay for him to come in. He came, he prayed and told us why he was doing this, why he was called and all this kind of stuff. And it was, it was, that was, that was quite an experience. Yeah.
I can imagine.
and one of the directors, Jackson. He was an atheist when y'all started filming that movie. I just found this out. He was an atheist and now he saved his kids at Christian school and everything.
That's the story.
He said he came from, he told me this like just last week and he was saying it came from y'all prayed every day before y'all got started and everything. And I just was like, you what? I said, you was, he's like, no, I was an atheist. I just did not believe anything. And he's saved now. No one is too far behind.
I watch my dad, bro. Like, my dad, you never met my pops. Oh, you did meet my pops. You see how he just be jobbing? I'll never forget this. My father came home working from Chase Manhattan Bank. Bro, I got laid off today. You told me I'm walking on to college. You said you had me the first semester. I got you, bro. God will provide. And walked away. I kid you not.
I think he had a three-month contract left, the last day of the contract. Scoop, you can tell this story because I'm not lying. The last day of the contract, he's there, you know, he's getting ready to leave. No one else is there. This is his last day. He's like, let me make sure everything is cool. While he's walking out, the guy says, hey, Troy, I'm glad I saw you.
I'm doing a contract over at Sundial. I'm wondering if you're interested. The next day they hired my father as a, what is it called? Not a contractor. When you help people build their business.
