I just, I never even asked to be big. I wanted to be effective, not famous.

Famous is the consequences of being effective. I didn't know nothing about being famous and I didn't like it. And so there I was. And when you first knew, everybody attacks you first and figures you out later. Because though we say you're innocent until proven guilty, the reality is you're really guilty until proven innocent. I didn't know that then, and I was young, upstart.

You have to understand that you're looking at a 60-year-old old man but you're talking about something that's happening to a guy in his late 20s with little kids and the first time I was in the Washington Post the article was so vicious it made me nauseous I was so shocked that you could say that stuff about somebody you didn't even know based on assumptions and a little bit of this and a little bit of that. They piece it all together, and you don't get the same thing back. So I decided I don't want this. I was preaching for Pastor Bishop Donnie Mears,

and nobody knew it because preachers can override their feelings and function. I preached the places on fire, but inside I want to quit. I told God I'm through with this. I preach the places on fire, but inside I want to quit. I told God, I'm through with this. I'm not going through this. I don't need this. I don't see, I don't need that. I'm a guy who likes to go get his own chicken wings. I don't have to have all of that stuff to be happy because I wasn't raised with it. I can make it. You throw me an apartment and give me just a little skillet, a cast iron skillet. You know what I'm talking about? And some seasoned salt and stuff in a couple of ways.

I will run you out of here. I will run you out. So I said, I'm not doing this no more. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this because I don't need this and I didn't ask for this. I'm only doing this because of what happened in my life, of the circumstances that happened in my life.

He put me on stage. I didn't ask for it. And when I saw how much it cost, I thought, you can have that right back here. You can have that right back up in here. I don't need it. So I was mad inside. I was hurt. And I stayed up in the fellowship with the pastors because I didn't want to go back to my room and sulk in my own sorrows.

And they said, there's a lady down the stairs waiting to see you. The service was over and the fellowship was over. The pastor was starting to leave. I was trying to outweigh her. I thought she'd give up and leave. And when I finally came down the steps, she was there. And she was just a willowy bit of a woman. And she said, Bishop Jakes, she said, I've been in the hospital.

She said, I was pregnant in my fallopian tubes, and the baby died in my tubes, and I was carrying around a dead baby, and the toxicity from the baby almost killed me. And she said, the only thing that kept me alive was hearing you preach. She said, if you hadn't have been preaching to me every day, I swear I would have died. And then she looked at me and she said, it's for us. It's not for them. It's for us. It hit me so hard. I didn't even get her name. I got in the car and cried all the way back to my room.

Because she reminded me why I was there. for listening. Kindly support the movement of this podcast by supporting us or subscribing to our premium content for more exclusive stuff. When you do so you also get a shout out in our next episode. Thank you.
