i've had my luggage to get misplaced and didn't get it until after the service i have to go buy a wardrobe so i i always dress in something that i can preach in yeah so just in case just in case so

[Music] but we don't sing cause that's like working right exactly so we we but we have i mean this just natural fun and you know we even play games sometimes there's a part of her that the world and her and her sisters that the world doesn't know because they are really comedians no i believe it and i mean it just goes and once they get once we're set together at different places oh man once they get going i'm just like okay here we go right you know let's go yeah he's so slow he's so slow no because i was getting ready to get serious okay i'm gonna let i was about to get sick let me get serious for a minute praying for jackie yes i was out of town um the whole clay evans thing was at the same time and we were but uh praying for for jackie um of course in the homegoing of her husband and um i watched some of the clips and all that and i don't know have you all had anybody that close past in years since mama or yeah that's what i was thinking it hasn't been yeah actually um i see the this is i think that's why it was so hard right because it was close to us this time so i'm talking about other people and i didn't even think about that during the holidays that happened during the holidays yeah when you mentioned even thanksgiving day right it was thanksgiving morning about two o'clock we were all at the hospital wow and when you mentioned about calling a loved one in regards to if you have someone in the family it's so good that because we constantly have to embrace her you know and just because she had her moments we were out of town thinking that that would kind of get her away from the environment um we were out of town she would have her breakout moments of 46 years of marriage wow what you expect and that's the entire yeah you know so um it just we just embraced her and surrounded her let's deal with the elephant in the room and then we can move on with this interview okay bishop has been clowning me when i call him i did a certain show uh on the ark of the covenant on on one of the most holy of holy days everybody knows we were out in the hallway and uh the shofar had you know was posted below and and it it blew a little bit and then you know being who i am i said glory and then i said let's go so there's a joke in your family now and even in it's it's going around coaching going global bro so we just so when he said let's go and glory he's he's messing with me okay so i'm just you got that outfit i told all myself now you did you did so let's talk about the human side because we just talked about losing loved one i just lost happening with us recently um i it was a moment that we had because the day that he passed my sister jackie has always been the strong one looking out for everybody she's a nurse and she's just always you know finding out if everybody else is okay jackie's always been the the strong-minded one you know what you need and um coming to your rescue when i saw my sister at that moment just breaking down it was like oh my god what we're going to do she's our strength so we had to kind of you know it was like a real moment i'm like we're this is real this is really happening to us so death has no no respecter of person because it's just it's anybody it can happen to anybody so in knowing you know christ like we know him that's so important to have that relationship because in times like that in times of death you have nothing but christ to lean on you know i i mean god give us peace in the midst of this you know we need comfort in the times of like these and um i mean we've you know people see us like you say in the here there and everywhere but in moments like this this is life like wow we are really having this encounter have you ever bishop said god why how how did you let this happen too and now i know i know probably what you're going to wrap you almost lost karen and we talked about it in the green room and the whole all of us were praying because we we love we love your family but have you ever been like as strong as you are and and i've never said i may have said this to you you're one of my favorites you can preach in 20 minutes like my grandfather didn't destroy it you're one of my favorite preachers um and you'll be saying some in them 20 minutes so have you ever had one of those moments oh absolutely you know um um just talking about as my wife talked about jackie and and we saw jackie in a very vulnerable moment and she needed all of our strength and situation with my god sister i just talked to her saturday when she was just telling me what a great brother i was then she shifted and started talking about her funeral then the next thing i knew i'm rebuking her no we praying for you what are you talking about and she said something that i probably never i'll never forget she said okay and she said in the same tone but i'm ready and then that was saturday night monday she's gone yeah and uh i just couldn't i couldn't i didn't wrap my mind around because we wanted her to live so bad and um you know we talked about the future all the time and so uh when you lose there's some people in your lives i had a my honest been dead probably 15 years now but she and i were very very close but those when it's some key people that are called you the one god why and what why are you letting this happen to me i preached a sermon uh some years ago called temporarily confused and you say there's situations in your life you've gone through and you've been sick you thought god would heal you he made you take the medicine there's some people that were dealing unfairly with you you thought god would take care of them he let them hang around why does this happen well jesus said what i do now you know not but you'll understand it later and so uh we we have those challenging moments in our lives and uh we pray to god and say why but the main thing is you gotta trust him and know that he's doing what's best for you if you're watching now if you need prayer want to get a couple of calls through they're willing to pray for you today even your family eight five five seven three zero word eight five five seven three zero word you may have lost somebody during this time we're here for you dial the number we'll take a couple of calls i want to shift a little bit i remember the video when you would uh have uh kyra on stage and you tell us saying this and do the runs and all that did you ever think that j drew would be doing what he's doing uh cara would be the the gospel sensation that she is that you all like speak that into their life you look like you reflected not care did you did you because i see you doing with the grand babies now absolutely i'll be watching your videos on the piano so did you all did you all just like pray over them and say they're going to be this or you what how did that happen absolutely my wife is a praying woman and she prays over the children and of course i did too but y'all won't give me my credit but i started kiki to singing bishop i don't recall that i know you don't i know you don't that's what i'm trying to tell you we have proof no you don't have no proof of that because we was in the car no we were in the car i'm the one to train kiki to do the runs in there yeah well me man well i haven't heard your runs when you preach you sing like me you did old songs but no we you know i knew that um kierra always had a very strong will we raised her to be a very independent uh person and jay drew is a is uh you know he has nothing but go-getters around him so they had to develop and when they weren't producing we were there to say come on you got to do better than this come on and so and then constantly praying you know believe it or not kiara was my most challenging child and god so she's probably had a little bit more prayer than jj because she was the challenging challenger oh jesus [Music] j drew didn't become challenging until he turned 20. thank you and then he said okay i y'all done had all this goodness from me okay i'm going to show you something and but thank god both of them have come back around and uh and i'm just thankful to god of course i have my wife is super talented and uh and we they're both college graduates and and they're just phenomenal i run into kyra on the plane all the time so sweet so mannerable i run into jay drew uh sometimes i had concerts bishop yeah daddy is right there i same thing yeah mannerable i mean just exceptional and i want to say that to you publicly what we watched on you all's reality show uh praying over j drew and how real was that karen oh yeah that was real that was real because it was when you when you were raising your children you it's it's a certain plan that you have for them and you don't want to push them i've always been i don't want to push them to do something that they don't want to do because they may not you know do it to the fullness of so i i just said you know what i'm just going to i'll just make one step and see how they're going to gravitate even what i did with kiera but i prayed over um jay drew because it was a scary moment and i look at my husband and he was such a great role model to my son and i told him i said i said watch your dad i said he's he just has so much going for him spiritually and naturally so i said he's such an example so i didn't push it down his throat but now i got on my knees and he didn't know i went over to his house i was bleeding the blood i went all in his closet and his shoes his clothes i got some oil he didn't even i went over there i started playing the blood and i said god put the change in them i said so we don't have to work hard and you know as parents and when i tell you he started developing spiritually i mean working in the ministry because i always said you know i want my children to be in the church you know but i don't want them to be discouraged from the church you know i don't want them to us to push it in them and then they be discouraged and don't tell me about church anymore like it got scary on the show when you mentioned and j drew started saying something about the church and i said you're not going to talk about my church and everybody remembers that but i try to put it in them no you're going to respect you know what we live about because what we do is help bringing putting food in your mind absolutely that's the famous statement from all of us i said the same thing that's right my daughter one time said i had to church people i said uh what you're wearing right now is the church people right there so you're not gonna say that again we're gonna go to nina in tennessee you're on the line nina yes yes um i was calling to see if uh y'all could pray for my family my mom when we were kids should remind me of the clark family she used to make us sing and would go to church and i wanted um the devil has been trying to plague a family with illness but i'm trusting for a breakthrough i already got that coming through but i want us to be able to to serve god as a family again to pray for us to be whole my mom is saying like she used to again all right bishop let's let first lady pray father we thank you for this day and time and for our sister that's on the phone we know that your timing is always right even when we don't understand but father i pray that you would bring peace upon her right now i pray that you would bring all things together make all things well in her family god and i pray that you will give her what to say give her what to say and how to say it order her steps and order their steps to receive and we thank you in jesus name amen amen amen god bless you eight five five seven three zero word so how long have you been married thirty five years thirty seconds no because [Music] because i was thinking it's 35 and a half because we got married in june june 16th of 1984 all right and so this coming june it will be 36. it sounds like a man that got in trouble they couldn't remember in the past oh man i know i know and we dated five years before that so you heard the lady um called nina about family sure and i you know you're all a great example what has been if you could if you could both say one word carrying you first has been the glue that has kept you together just one word i know you it's um love love love bishop family kept us to get from from my point of view because i can could tell your story but it was family my kids kept us together when we had those tough moments of course it's all you know love you know you love a person
