Went to church last Sunday, Unity Fellowship NewArk, and heard an amazing word from an amazing minister who is a powerful example of the word "Yes". She is God centered and God focused without being sanctimonious and preachy. Terez and I both walked away from that sermon feeling lifted and inspired and so, we had to invite her to the show. So, although this is not a "gospel" show, we will be discussing the spiritual manifestations accompanied by "yes" And maybe listen to a little gospel music, a little gospel house...whatever we do, you're invited to listen in or call in on Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne and Terez!
