Full Show | Chasing Church Celebrities; Let God Handle It; Money Mondays with Jini Thornton; and More

Erica Campbell delivers a powerful reminder to keep the focus on God, not personalities, during a thought-provoking Faith Walk about the dangers of turning pastors, gospel artists, and ministry leaders into celebrities. Drawing on a growing conversation within Christian circles about “celebrity culture” in the Church, Erica encourages listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ instead of idolizing public figures, emphasizing that spiritual growth comes from seeking God rather than proximity to influential people.   The show also tackles several headline-making stories, including the latest development in the case of Karmelo Anthony, whose request for a new trial was denied, leaving his 35-year sentence in place while his attorneys continue pursuing an appeal. Meanwhile, listeners pause to reflect on life, loss, and legacy as the team discusses grief, aging parents, and the importance of having difficult financial conversations before a crisis. During Money Mondays, Jini Thornton shares practical advice on organizing wills, insurance policies, retirement accounts, and care plans for loved ones. The episode also honors the life and career of actor Michael Wright, remembered by many as Eddie King Jr. from The Five Heartbeats, following news of his passing at age 70.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
