I got the amazing opportunity to have a conversation with rapper, producer and teaching artist Yuself Shelton also known as YS1 DA FIRST. He opened up about the struggle of growing up without his father and how that has affected how he relates to God and others. We also took some time to chat about his music endeavors and his non-profit work in the city of Pittsburgh and beyond. The Holy Spirit showed up in a mighty way for us through this conversation! And I am grateful to Yusef for how he has committed himself to pouring back into the youth who face the same circumstances that he did growing up. This episode is going to help someone who has been wrestling with this very thing for quite some time. Whether you grew up with your father in your life or not, trust me, you will be able to take something important away from this authentic conversation.

Candid Fam! I cannot believe that it’s already March! That’s actually really wild so to kick off the new month I sat down with my brother in Christ, Joel Gray to have an encouraging conversation about the next generation. We chat openly about what we can be doing to make a difference for young people. Not just in their faith but also relationally, in the workforce, in mentorship and more! Joel truly has a heart for the youth and believes that there is more work to be done for our youth, so let’s get off the sidelines, put some skin in the game and start investing in the next generation. To keep up with Joel you can find him on LinkedIn by searching ‘Joel Gray’ or you can go to www.pittsburghkidsfoundation.org to check out the daily work that he does locally and abroad for The PKF.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with dynamic worship leader and a woman who I am proud to call my sister, Keea Dorsey, as she opens up to share her battle with pornography. Many women in church and outside of it are silent on this topic because it is often portrayed as something that only men deal with. However, it's high time time that we tell the truth and unveil the reality that there are many women who struggle with pornography as well. This episode is of high importance and is bound to set someone on the path to freedom when they hear it. So please send this episode to the last 5 people you sent a text message to, they will thank you for it! To keep up with Keea you can follow her and all her holy shenanigans on Instagram @keearae and if you are looking to book a worship leader for an event or a Sunday service you can reach out to her for that purpose as well!

This week on the podcast I feel the burden to chat quickly about mental health. So many people are outwardly appearing to be okay, they are brimming with energy and enthusiasm but inwardly they are crumbling. Many feel so much pain that they believe the only way out of the pain is death and I can say that I have been in that same exact place. I want to bridge the gap between mental health and spiritual health and encourage everyone to seek safe spaces where they can unveil their true feelings and receive the love and counsel that they need.

This week we are going back in time to tune into a message that I shared from my YouTube channel in 2019!

There are so many different issues in the world and yet it seems like Christians shy back from saying what needs to be said. I'm Kamera Dorsey and every Thursday, sometimes with the help of my sister co-host, Keea, we will be diving into topics that Christian's fail to focus on; and a little bit of what Christian's don't go deep enough into. The reality is, the world needs a different perspective that brings hope and freedom, so I'm challenging myself and yes, you, to join me on this journey as I change the narrative on Christian discourse. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kamera-dorsey/support
