beautiful rendition gotta burst something in this house let's get to the conversation I just love the fact that you all are fun amen I mean you know that it's a joy to laugh in the Holy Ghost yes yes and so we're going to get to the mother and daughter questions but before we do both of you all walk in tremendous tremendous Grace and so share with us um the grace that God has given you number one to be the wife of the presiding bishop and then the daughter of the presiding Bishop share with us how God has just graced you with the mantle to operate in that role I believe that the most wonderful thing that God has or given to me is having a mother who was so exemplary Dr Maddie Moss Clark and I think thank you and to um have such an amazing mother who walked the Walk of righteousness and along with what she was um so exemplary and teaching us the way of righteousness and she was living right in front of us and I believe that's how God she taught us how to not take advantage of God's grace because he gives you opportunity after opportunity to go to him even in our we're not perfect but he gives us opportunity and that's what my mother taught and I think that's what really helped us and excuse me Dr Grant but I want to honor you take this time and thank you for having us and making this easy for us so that's my answer and here yes I honor you too Dr Luana um I would say it's Mommy passing those same lessons down to me I do think um being a pastor's kid was my internship [Laughter] and it was a good internship because I had mom and dad on my head like you have to understand that you not only represent yourself but you represent the father and then you represent where you come from um so there are some sacrifices that I've been taught that I have to make um which they pay off it's a part of the commitment and I'm glad that I have had parents to instill in me uh the essence and the value of commitment because there's so many people around now who have no boundaries and unfortunately we lose so much that God has given us because we don't have integrity so um I think that that those lessons that have been pounded in me I mean you know I remember when I colored my hair and I had like a blind streak going down the middle of my head and my Nana said girl you look like a skunk come on and you know when I was young I used to think my family were you know just always fussing at me but now that I'm older I'm like no I had a lot to lose I had a lot at stage so it wasn't just Ministry that they were preparing me for or for this space which is supportive of my father and my mother um but it's also dedication to the Saints it's a part of being a martyr for Christ so yeah wow you said something so powerful yes amen thank you you said something so powerful when you talked about walking in Grace and as you were as you all reflect on just your mother-daughter relationship how important is it for moms to give daughters the grace because we don't get it right as daughters all the time right and then as a as a mother you know having your mother Kiera how is it um how important is it for you to give your mom Grace because there's no manual that mothers or daughters have so how important is it that we give each other Grace as we grow as a mother I think it's very important to give them room give them space they will make mistakes that's a part of growing pains um I I learned that you know even though you know she she re she respects me I mean wonderfully um but when I lay my foot down she'll she'll know oh Mom ain't playing so we cannot I can't go to the party with her and then try to be mama at the same time I can't Drop It Like It's Hot that would hurt and then try to be an example so it's very important that as a mother that you give them space I think that one good thing that I learned is being a mother um is that I have conversations with her I don't always talk all the time I want to hear from her and I think that's where we make a mistake let me hear your heart even if it's something that I wanted to leave it open for her to be comfortable to tell me what she's battling with because I think it's so uh it's so prevalent today is that the daughters or sons are afraid sometimes we I was afraid to talk to my mother because she was so Stern everybody knew many more slogging that's you you knew about her but um she still allowed you know an open door for me to become comfortable so I think that's very important is that we have be open-minded as opposed to just being solster but yet letting them know don't cross the line yeah yeah she's so good uh I think the question for me is why should we extend Grace to our mothers yeah as daughters um I think we should extend Grace to our mothers because they're human they're figuring it out too day by day every day is a New Journey for them and um I think that we should even acknowledge and honor that they are doing the best that they can um not just that but you have sometimes where you have some mothers who have experienced different motherhood from their mother and they're like I don't want to do it that way I want to do it this way and they may be deflecting in a way to try not to carry certain traumas down and so I think we as we grow and mature we have to psychologically or emotionally uh we call it emotional intelligence but growing in that space to where we don't react to some of the correction that they may give us but actually hear the heart of them um and then say Mommy uh you said you said my breath thing but maybe you could have just slipped me a minute or something you know um so I think there's a way to find joy in the relationship with your mother because at the same time you are her seed so there are many similarities there might be more I think with my mother and I there are far more similarities that I have with her than differences if I can be transparent she's probably gonna get me after this but I used to tease my mom about Whispering I would hear her saying you know just Jesus or Lord Lord she's just talking to herself and I say Mommy why are you talking to yourself you're weird and she was like girl you crazy if you don't talk to yourself I'm over here praying and telling myself to hold on so after a while now that I'm in my 30s and I'm married and you know I gotta act right with different people and you know consider the people factor and children are coming and I've you know been in my mind about some things now I find myself Whispering Keep Me Jesus Lord and you know sometimes I put my airpod in my ear so people won't think I'm talking to myself you said what not yeah so I I think that is very important because I started learning I see my mom in my days even the crumbs that are in the bottom of her purse I used to tease her about that and say mommy you got too many crumbs in the bottom of your purse now I got crumbs from Biscoff cookies in my purse I might even have a greasy napkin down there I'm juicy so crazy but yes I I think that is very important so that you can grow together and then it evolves into friendship which is beautiful my mother is my that's my Roe G I can't call him a roll dog but that's my homie so I think it can grow into a blessing wow so keeping that open door policy where mothers and daughters can have genuine conversations now during those conversations sometimes mothers and daughters experience conflict right some mothers may have one perspective while a daughter thinks another way so how do we handle conflict in those relationships when and the daughter wants to do it her way and the mother thinks that the daughter should do it another way our vice versa so how do we handle conflict well um when we have conflict um I think with us it's it's important that I stay and remain in my role as a mother and I give my take of it and then she'll give her take of it and I'll tell her I'm standing on what I say I'm not moving and then along with we already know how to pray and then a lot of times I'll agree to disagree with my daughter but just hear her out and then I'll try to come up with a way I'll pray and I said Lord let's come up with a way where it won't destroy the relationship which is happening today what can we do to come together even though you have some mothers they're they're tapping into so much of this crazy stuff that the world is offering they're offering a lot to our children but you have to have tell God to give you a way to say you know um I know she believes in this but she got to know what I stand for and you're going to respect me in in the area of where I am and standing for so I think that we need to just you know ask God I mean what we've had conflict we haven't been perfect I mean you know we we've had moments I think she tried to call me and I didn't answer I was very quiet and I think that was a way of me I don't want to say anything that that will bother me or yeah that hurts me exactly so I usually I just come up with the ways to keep peace in the camp but she's still gonna get out what she need to say she gonna get out when she's what she needs to say I think uh I agree with you Mommy I think um to for me one of the huge things that I've had to adapt is that you don't know it all yes you're a growing adult and yes you've had a world of experiences and yes you're in a world where the culture gives you a lot more information that is way too easily accessible sometimes we've gotten some stuff that was prematurely accessible but the mother the Bible says in the mall I believe in God's word so that might too be the difference with me as a daughter or with us as daughters in this room but the Bible says in the multitude of counsel their safety so I have enjoyed being a student at heart and I found that a lot of my friends have bumped their head a lot harder than I have because they simply didn't listen so I enjoy listening I enjoy having somebody who didn't bump their head for me already I don't got to go down that road you already went down there for me you enjoy having God bless you I'm gonna go this way and so yeah yes so I I think that is um something that I've adapted and I think that it's uh beautiful too you know with just a motherhood and and daughter Hood if I can say it that way because uh my mother too has allowed me the freedom to make choices on my own so it's sort of like uh the the parental consent that my parents have given me or that even I'm sure a lot of our parents in the church have given us is that they mirror what the Holy Spirit does the holy spirit gives you conviction they give you what the problem is and then they give you a solution whereas condemnation makes you feel guilty it makes you feel like I should if you think about condemnation you almost want to sometimes you've thought about I keep saying it I'm tired of myself I thought about suicide before but if you have parents who are the Saints that's what makes the difference because then they don't transfer traumas they don't they have emotional or like you said mom is praying how should I deliver this so that it doesn't sting and she don't remember in her 40s what mama said and she's holding it against me while we're talking and growing together so I think that's where the where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty I believe when God gives you an answer through your parents you'll get a kind of Peace the Bible says I'll give you peace I'll give you Stillness I'll give you contentment and it may be something that we don't want to hear Bible says a fool uh despises correction and I have really seen that baby has been a fool because you didn't listen to Mama Mama's voice comes back up to me as if it's God using her voice as he did with was it Samuel and Eli and so I think that's where I'm like I've done enough mistakes on my own and made enough decisions I'm gonna go ahead and listen to Mama we pray that you are riding these nuggets down and that was so good what you all said to put space between the conflict because oftentimes there are so many words that are said from the daughter to the mother from the mother to daughters to tear that relationship apart and so for us to put space between the conflict and the response is so good so when we come back after we have uh handled the conflicts we know it's there how important is it for us to say I'm sorry or should we say I'm sorry now we know mothers tell the daughters you better say I'm sorry but should mother say I'm sorry as well to daughters first lady and Kiera absolutely I think the mothers should show you got to have a forgiving heart and you have to know what your mistakes that you made realize it you have to be the example in front of your mother so yes if I made a mistake that's been anytime I've apologized when I I know I was right you know we know we right because we mama and we went through experience you know we know we're right but there's because of what's happening today I mean it could be something like social media I'm like no that's not the way I saw it on there and she said Mom now I said no it's not she came back and said let me show you mama is like this and I said I'm so sorry Kiki you're right because she is actually it was a learning experience for me to tap into how we I'm still mailing out stuff you know she emailing and texting so it's a learning experience and I think of course we should have a forgiving heart along with uh saying I'm sorry being willing to uh own up to your mistakes I agree I I agree I feel like we have to yeah I agree I think we should have um say sorry when my brother and I used to get in Conflict my parents would always say all right now what did you do don't come tattling and telling let's also see what thoughts did you have in this matter and then also just to uh piggyback off of what you said conflict because I think resolving conflict is also accepting responsibility for something that you've done it's a way of Rehabilitation which is also a way of Deliverance in our church we go to the Lord we repent we say Lord I'm sorry if you say I'm sorry and you repeat it then it's like you don't really mean what you said so as mom said practicing forgiveness as number one as a Believer that's what makes the difference I think relationships period are so much more easier when you're really trying to mirror Christ when we're not trying to mirror Christ we have a lot of hard time just letting stuff go or even sometimes taking the apology that we're never giving we hold on to stuff and then it becomes our issue because somebody ain't said sorry no I'm trying to make it into heaven with your sorry or not so go ahead and do what you're gonna do you know but um I think that uh us having us saying sorry it it also is a way of personal development and self-awareness like some of us could you know know so much but you could be so have such a lack of self-awareness to where you didn't because the Bible talks about considering it all did you consider your behaviors did you think that that was going to affect somebody else do you think that it affected mama mama probably always in her mind about how she is raising you the least you could do is sometimes reward and say my you did a good job girl you know so I think that um that that is what the Lord has convicted me on which is celebrating our mothers honoring them and you asked too about um it was something you asked and what came to mind is if you don't honor your parents your days will be short so I see a lot of reality stars that call their mothers out of their names and every time I watch them I I feel like I sound like an old good Church of God in Christ mother that's saying baby you destroyed in your day that day is off that's day 19 that's cut off cause you ain't right you know so I think that forgiveness has to do with that being transparent but knowing how to talk to people I get so sick I'm sorry I folk trying to just say what you want to say the Bible says yes the truth will set you free but who said the truth has to be brutal right if it's going to set me free then that mean I'm gonna move forward I press for the mark for the prize of the High Calling through Jesus Christ I'm reaching for a prize I can't reach for the prize wounded so you got to give me the truth so I can get it and my wings can't be clipped so I think that that is a part of transparency and healing conversations such as sorry wow yeah as a matter of fact let's just practice that whether your mother or your daughter is here because how many of that I'm sorry opens the door just for a healthy conversation for you to be free and for your relationship to be free so just turn to the person sitting next and you're just say I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry turn to somebody else I'm sorry I'm sorry practice it in the house I'm sorry yeah yeah and you know Dr Grant just to add even with spiritual mothers we're including everyone right yes ma'am so even with daughters that we that that is very prevalent in the Church of God and Grace we have spiritual mothers and I think we need to be mindful that a lot of our new generation that I am embracing the ones that sincerely want to come to church and dedicate their lives to Christ I think it's very important that we embrace them as we're not just talking about mother and daughter biologically but spiritual mothers oh we have to be mindful of that and embrace and let them know I mean they'll come they'll do something in church that's because they haven't been taught I had to realize that we've been taught we've been raised in this thing they're just coming some of them are leaving their parents at home their parents are dropping them off at church this is what I realized they parents are dropping them off at church if they come in dress a little a little different and got on her hot and fruity Flutie pants I come to her I said baby let's go shopping yes so with loving kindness have I drawn thee if I take her shopping I'm gonna say girl I'm gonna buy you some or go let's go to Saks Fifth Avenue and get you a bad trip I'm gonna go with you but there's ways my point is there are way all for your kindness and showing them without you know I'm being so Stern Dr lawana a fun experience you shout out to my Auntie Jackie all of us know that little raspy growly voice she gonna fuss but it's some good fussing that's good for your soul you know how we eat some foods and it may not taste good to us but it actually has medicinal purposes it actually has nutritional value um so that's one experience that I can relate to with what you're saying and then um turns out a good old church mother at my church I'll never forget it I used to wear that brown lip liner around my lips and I would mush it in it almost like I have black lip gloss on and the mother came up to me and she said baby that lip don't match your future foreign [Applause] she said it listen it looks a little dark I ain't gonna say what she said but it looks a little dark and turns out that's mommy she said it looked like doo-doo mommy it turns out that was that's my my grandmother-in-law now I had the longest attitude with her but then I got another lesson from Daddy and then Dad said uh Kiki you can't wear every Trend every trend is not for every leader and so it was like little pockets of conversations or confirmation that the Holy Spirit would drop into my life so that I wouldn't be mad at those mother-like experiences that I wasn't so okay with and turns out not that lady that said they don't match your future she in my life forever [Applause] I wasn't gonna like her and that was gonna be the end of it but she looking at me like uh-huh and I'm here so I think we should continue to embrace those moments I like to encourage a lot of my peers and even young women as well in our ministry that the village is not just for the child it's for the adult too so don't think that when you get in your teens in your 20s you can just know it all Bible says pride comes before the fall you're gonna fall and bust your head you better listen to somebody if your breath stank and they said your breath is hot put something in your mouth I'd rather you tell me Mama tell me in a minute baby you need to quit Whispering so hard your breath is a little hot she don't scrub that tongue nor the roof of that mouth you know um so I I would I just I enjoy the village it's a blessing to me that's so good so good so good so good so good okay I'm not talking about the village let's go to the question about serving in Ministry um so what should mothers know because first lady you are a very busy woman of God and we celebrate the grace that God has on you to do it all come on one more time let's clap for that I mean you walk in extreme Grace but as a mother and raising children and you're in Ministry how do you keep your priorities the priorities the main thing and then Kiera as a daughter in Ministry your parents are a Ministry your ministry as well how do you find that balance between uh Ministry and being Who You Are I believe it's uh helpful to me and knowing each capacity talking about being a wife to my husband I have a career but I like many days my daughter she has mentioned it to me that I put my career aside and I'll say I got to support my husband and become the wife because I don't want him to look back and say you know regret she didn't support me when I supported her and her husband never done that because I've always been I've let go of myself and I think it's very important that you become selfless and when you become so you can walk with excellence in each capacity as a wife as a mother I learned to take out time I'll tell my my daughter and my son stop whatever you're doing it's time to have dinner family time we need to have family time now my son has gotten it so he'll call us what y'all doing you want to go to dinner and he got it now so it's something that they have become acclimated because they saw me walk in that capacity of a mother so it's very important that you walk in those capacities with Excellence so that when they become married they know how to handle their husbands and know how to handle their wives and and I think what helped me is that in knowing that I pray God I want to do everything in excellence because they have a future ahead of them and they are watching me so I want to watch my every walk so I think that is very important I now I will confess mama is sitting right in front of me right here I will confess I will be the great wife in other capacities with that cooking I can't get it right like I should because of my career oh but I'll make up for it on his birthday I'll cook a big old dinner for him yes you know so it's just ways that you do things to make up for because I feel guilty sometimes because I want to be in that that excellent white that God is calling for my mama can cook though now she she underestimate herself that mac and cheese especially that mac and cheese on the corner where you the hit the Heat hit a little longer baby okay ain't that greedy I'm the juicy one so y'all Pray My Strength I like to eat but anyways um I um I think it's so important and I've been taught to Dr lawana that um our first Ministry is our family and um you know I'm having a little pregnancy emotions so bear with me if I start crying or something but um one of the things that rested with me after my grandparents left was um that I gave them my time I did not let the road keep me from spending time with my Nana and Papa and um I didn't I used to feel guilty because I felt like am I being lazy you know because I I would cut it off or I would say no let me get a little later flight because I made a promise that I was going shopping with Nana and um mama would say you know once um I call it the upgrade when the saints leave and they left and they left right I call it the upgrade on life they didn't just die they they went to see Jesus so um but I said all that when uh my grandparents took the upgrade on life mom said uh key you don't have to feel guilty because you gave them their time you gave them what you know you spent time with them so to make long story short um I make it a priority now if Mama got something going on I'm canceling I can't do it and and sometimes I feel guilty about calling people back and then two that's the part of planning God is a god of order so you can't just call canceling everybody you got to do things in order so there are some things that I won't accept and then even with Dad Dad got to preach this Friday oh I'm gonna be here I've got to be here for the bishop I got to pray for him um I got to pray for my mama I gotta go there to you know uh Jacob just had a birthday and he said I didn't I haven't done anything fun for my birthday I said well I'm gonna take you to because all Jacob want to do is church I said let's go to a water park or something you're a child so we took him to Kalahari and everybody was like you didn't have to work on his birthday I said I did have to work but I held the day uh open because I wanted to I promised Jacob that I would take him um so I think it's very important because God forbid if anything happens to any of our loved ones the least you could do is say I gave them my time [Applause] and you know that I'm gonna add this just to give me a few seconds one thing that I will never forget what she did before her grandmother passed is that she said Mom I'm going to see Nana she was off the plane and valuable time is very important that we need to be aware of and she said Mom I'm going to see Nana she went to see Nana and she went to the house and all of a sudden Nana was in that house in the room right and she was laying in the bed and she was laying and she said what's wrong this is not like you it's talking about mother Sheard and she said it's not like you get up Nana and Nana would put this the spread back over and Kiki would say no get up Nana come on let's go to the hospital let's go let's get up and go let's get up and go and that when she made her get up and go to the hospital that's when she found out she had covet Uncle Ethan's family was there it wasn't nobody else you know it was family I'm sorry to interrupt you no you're fine I was just making the point of having that valuable time because you don't know what tomorrow holds you don't know when you're gonna leave a loved one's going to leave can I add Dr Luana I have these moments where I'm like I wish Nana could have saw me get married but Auntie Gwenda was standing right there and my Nano finally she lifted up because we were going back and forth pulling her from the the cover saying come on get up and finally she got up and she said I just had a dream about you and I I miss her so much she said I just had a dream about you and I said what was the dream man she said you had on a beautiful white dress and this was before I got married and the Lord dealt with me and said I deliver messages to the Saints you'll think that they haven't seen it or they won't have a chance to see it but they'll have a chance to see it so the Lord dealt with my grandmother in that moment and I have this liver this Liberty where I'm like no Nana knew I was gonna get married she knew I was going to have a man and she met and she met my husband before she left and then Papu he married us you know so um and I had a dream years ago um and I talked too much so that's it but the the time like Mommy said with your family it's so necessary because God will allow you to have prophetic encounters and he'll remind you that nobody's missing anything that they should be missed they shouldn't be missing I have you so I I really believe I really believe in the familial structure I am who I am today because of my family my first best friends were my family and not just that sometimes if I have disconnects with my immediate family or family in certain Seasons the the family at the church the true Saints daddy taught me a difference between church folk and the Saints the Saints seek the Lord the church folks they just come to look cute but the Saints they're rolling the flow for you them and everybody else you know so I'm a hush there yeah wow so what you all have said basically is that family time is so much more important than you trying to be the Evangelist on the road and accepting every engagement to be with your family to be with your family this is so good come on one more time let's clap for our first lady and Kiera as we come to the end of our conversation um on on this uh on this morning can you all just share a brief word of encouragement first lady to the mothers in the audience um and then Kiera to the daughters um just from your personal experiences and then if you all would just pray for us uh that mother and daughter relationships would just be strengthened whether it's biological whether it's spiritual we know your testimony there are some women in the audience perhaps that have they've lost children and so let's just speak to the women of God the mothers and the daughters and then pray for us please what was the first to give them systems words of encouragement that's a mother moment uh words of encouragement to all of the mothers and I salute all of the single mothers all of the mothers who've had divorces and all of them I I salute all of the mothers who come to this amazing convention and to have such a Visionary leader so that you can go back home and teach your children and uh have take these nuggets I encourage you don't give up on your children I know you see them sometimes in in capacities of that you didn't raise them that way but I promise you God will flip the script we will flip the script because if you be faithful I'm telling you God will hear your prayer I have watched you you please know that I am a testimony because I remember when I used to testify Lord say my son save my son and now we see so much of a difference we can't stop him from coming to church now because he's soaked in that anointing and I'm telling you I tell God lord get that flesh out get that flesh out get that like a wash machine and it's so up I promise you so be encouraged mothers and know that there is hope in getting on your knees and going to battle for Jesus for your children foreign [Applause] as mothers are praying for us I think that daughters we should intercede on behalf of our mothers intercede that the Lord is removing inflammation swelling remove anything that will interfere with your cardiovascular system and pray father how can I bring peace to my mother so that she can live long how can I bring joy to my mother so that she can laugh again because at the end of the day we are an extension of them and I would love to be a blessing to my parents before I'm a blessing to somebody else outside of my spouse or my children but it's a blessing to be a part so I would encourage you to know that you're not too young to tap into that level of discernment where the Lord will reveal to you what the generation before you need if I can say it that way so I would encourage you you can do it girl you can be the daughter and you can also be the prayer Warrior sometimes when Mama can't get to Jesus you can get her to Jesus and so I just hope that you are encouraged I'm not saying that my man being able to get because she can get to him sometimes she's in on in at him on my behalf because I kind of lose my mind sometimes praise God but um don't nobody else in here lose your mind a little bit just get a little strain okay maybe I'm the only one they said no baby you the only one okay praise God um so I was just encouraged the daughters to stay encouraging to have that friendship that relationship with your mother I wanted to
