FULL SHOW | Put Your Phone Down; Dr. Dale Hopson Talks New Book “The Pit;” Pharrell and the Clipse Perform at the Vatican; and MORE

On today’s Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, the show opened with a powerful Faith Walk reminding listeners not to look back like Lot’s wife but to embrace the new seasons God is leading them into. In her Erica-ism of the Day, Erica challenged everyone to “put your phone down,” urging us to live fully in the present and build real connections instead of being glued to screens. The team also discussed whether pastors should preach about social justice from the pulpit, with callers weighing in on how faith and activism must intersect—especially in today’s divided political climate, intensified by reactions to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.  The episode also featured Dr. Dale Hopson, who shared insights from his new book The Pit: Purpose in Transition, teaching that even life’s hardest seasons can be preparation for greater things. Dr. Willie Jolly added a motivational word, reminding listeners to be the thermostat, not the thermometer, and set the tone for their environments. Rounding out the show, trending topics highlighted Pharrell’s gospel choir performance at the Vatican and a powerful New York Fashion Week runway moment featuring the daughters of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, blending culture, faith, and history.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
