FULL SHOW | They know Christians by their love; Gospel singer James Fortune talks new project with GRIFF; Love the elders; and MORE

On today’s Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica explores how “They’ll Know Christians by Their Love” challenges believers to let genuine love—more than accomplishments or image—stand as their defining mark, rooted in John 13:35. The hymn, originally penned in the 1960s by Peter Scholtes amid social and racial turmoil, became an anthem of unity and discipleship that transcends denominational lines. Erica emphasizes that serving with a humble heart, from greeters to groundskeepers, is what truly reflects Christ’s love in the world—a call to live kindness as witness to faith.   Noted gospel artist James Fortune joined the show to share insights about his new In the Room: Preluxe EP, the first offering from his 20th-anniversary live project. Featuring six tracks—led by the title single “In the Room”—the EP celebrates God’s presence in every space, from hospital rooms to living rooms. It also highlights impactful collaborations with Todd Galberth and Pastor Mike Jr. and gives listeners an early taste of Fortune’s full 25-track live album slated for next year.   In the heartfelt “Love the Elders” segment, the hosts address the spiritual and practical importance of honoring aging parents and community elders. They highlight how loving our elders—through compassion, preparation conversations, and respect—preserves family unity and reflects biblical values. Scriptural principles from Leviticus, Timothy, and Proverbs underscore this call to value older generations as sources of divine wisdom and grace.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
