Rather than jumping straight into tools like ChatGPT, she stressed the importance of defining clear goals, identifying target audiences, and creating measurable business objectives before using AI to build marketing strategies. Her advice aligns with broader industry trends showing that organizations see better results when AI is tied to specific business outcomes and audience insights rather than simply generating content for content's sake. The morning was also filled with excitement from the 2026 Stellar Gospel Music Awards, where the Get Up Mornings team celebrated another major win while reflecting on a memorable weekend in Charlotte.

Homeowners across the country are feeling the impact of soaring insurance costs, and Erica Campbell welcomed financial expert Jini Thornton to explain why.

In the Christian faith, testimony is a powerful tool that strengthens belief, encourages others, and serves as a witness to God’s transformative work, with scripture emphasizing that people overcome “by the word of their testimony.” This theme carries throughout the show, reminding listeners that everyday conversations, social media, and personal interactions are opportunities to reflect God’s impact in their lives.   The inspiration continues with a powerful Fresh Word from Pastor Warryn Campbell, whose “High Frequency Living” message emphasizes that growth often comes in uncomfortable places where reliance shifts from self to God—teaching that elevation, pressure, and uncertainty are often signs of spiritual advancement rather than setbacks. The show also highlights a meaningful conversation with gospel artist Carolyn Traylor, a respected traditional singer known as the “Texas Powerhouse,” who shares her journey back to music and the importance of staying true to gospel roots while stepping out on faith to pursue purpose. Together, the episode blends testimony, teaching, and testimony-in-action—encouraging listeners to trust God’s process, embrace their calling, and keep showing up with faith no matter the season.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith, perseverance, and divine timing take center stage on this powerful episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. In the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story, the story of Blind Bartimaeus reminds listeners that bold, unwavering faith still gets God’s attention—despite being told to stay quiet, Bartimaeus persistently cried out to Jesus and was healed, showing that faith and persistence can bring transformation even in impossible situations. Erica’s “Faith Walk” echoes that same message, encouraging listeners not to despise small beginnings, while her Erica-ism spotlights a heartfelt reflection on Dr. Bobby Jones’ prophetic encouragement—years before it happened—that she would become a star, reinforcing the idea that God’s promises often manifest in His timing, not ours.   The show continues with inspiration and worship as Earnest Pugh joins the show to discuss his latest single “Your Glory to See You,” a powerful worship anthem centered on seeking God’s presence and shifting focus from problems to His greatness. The song marks another release from the award-winning gospel artist’s long-running career and continues his signature style of big, spirit-filled worship music that resonates deeply with listeners. Together, these moments—paired with encouragement, humor, and real-life testimonies—deliver a message that faith requires consistency, purpose grows in the waiting season, and true fulfillment comes from aligning your life with God’s presence.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slow down—but don’t miss your moment. This episode of Get Up Mornings with Erica Campbell, delivers a powerful reminder that timing matters, as Erica Campbell challenges listeners to move with faith instead of fear, even when everything feels urgent. In a world driven by pressure and “right now” decisions, that urgency can be fueled by anxiety and fear of missing out—both of which research shows can increase stress and lead to rushed, less thoughtful choices. Erica’s message is clear: be intentional, not hesitant. Take your time, but still act boldly when God calls, because overthinking and waiting for perfect conditions can keep you stuck while opportunities pass you by.   The conversation deepens with two standout segments that hit both heart and health. In Healthy Ever After, Alana Atkins breaks down why summer can leave you feeling drained, bloated, or battling headaches—often due to dehydration, heat, and diet choices, which experts confirm are major seasonal triggers that impact your body’s balance and blood flow. Then Erica’s Love Talk delivers a real check: “love don’t mean be stupid.” She warns against letting insecurity drive your relationships, reminding listeners that insecurity—often rooted in fear, low self-esteem, or past experiences—can lead to unhealthy decisions and emotional attachment to the wrong people. Tying it all together, the show reinforces a consistent theme: speak life, trust God’s timing, and don’t let fear—whether in your decisions, your body, or your relationships—lead the way.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this Fresh Word Friday, Dr. Creflo Dollar delivers a powerful excerpt from his message Religion Misled the Church, challenging long‑held teachings around divorce and condemnation.

To uplift the spirit, the episode features gospel producer Tony Dickerson, who joins Erica Campbell to talk about his journey as a Navy veteran, songwriter, and producer, and the inspiration behind“The Greatest of All Time,” the powerful new single performed by the The Tennessee Mass Choir—a declaration proclaiming God above all cultural “GOAT” conversations and reaffirming faith during uncertain times.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith and perspective take center stage on Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell as the show opens with the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story retelling of Peter walking on water from Bible scripture, reminding listeners that stepping out in faith is possible when your eyes stay fixed on Jesus—even in the middle of a storm. Erica builds on that message with her Ericaism of the Day, encouraging believers not to let doubt, comparison, or intimidation steal what they already know about God, emphasizing that faith grows through application, not perfection.   The show also welcomes gospel powerhouse Renee Spearman alongside Kim Burrell and Montell Jordan to talk about their new collaborative single “You Chose Me,” a song centered on identity and divine purpose. Written by Renee Spearman and Montell Jordan, the track reflects the biblical truth that God chooses us before we ever choose Him and blends contemporary gospel with soulful vocals that reach both church and crossover audiences. The conversation highlights Montell Jordan’s continued ministry journey from R&B stardom to gospel music and pastoral leadership, reinforcing the episode’s overarching theme: trusting God’s call, no matter the season.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, the show opens with a powerful faith reminder rooted in Psalm 34:1, where Erica breaks down what it truly means to “bless the Lord at all times.” Drawing from the biblical context of David praising God while in danger, the conversation challenges listeners to offer praise not just during victory, but in moments of fear, uncertainty, and hardship. The discussion reinforces that praise is an act of faith and spiritual maturity—even when circumstances don’t make sense—echoing the Psalm’s origin story of David trusting God while fleeing for his life.   Later, Erica encourages listeners to confront real-life struggles with temptation, referencing the phrase “lead us not into temptation” from the Lord’s Prayer. The conversation explores how temptation isn’t sin itself, but an opportunity to choose discipline, wisdom, and obedience. Scripture and commentary make clear that this prayer is less about God causing temptation and more about asking for divine protection and clarity in moments of weakness. The show also blends spiritual growth with practical living during Healthy Ever After, where fitness expert Dawn Strozier explains the importance of intentional training and progressive overload—a method of gradually increasing physical challenge to achieve real results instead of plateauing. Together, faith, discipline, and purpose take center stage, offering listeners tools to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
