Get Up! Mornings With Erica Campbell

Slow down—but don’t miss your moment. This episode of Get Up Mornings with Erica Campbell, delivers a powerful reminder that timing matters, as Erica Campbell challenges listeners to move with faith instead of fear, even when everything feels urgent. In a world driven by pressure and “right now” decisions, that urgency can be fueled by anxiety and fear of missing out—both of which research shows can increase stress and lead to rushed, less thoughtful choices. Erica’s message is clear: be intentional, not hesitant. Take your time, but still act boldly when God calls, because overthinking and waiting for perfect conditions can keep you stuck while opportunities pass you by.   The conversation deepens with two standout segments that hit both heart and health. In Healthy Ever After, Alana Atkins breaks down why summer can leave you feeling drained, bloated, or battling headaches—often due to dehydration, heat, and diet choices, which experts confirm are major seasonal triggers that impact your body’s balance and blood flow. Then Erica’s Love Talk delivers a real check: “love don’t mean be stupid.” She warns against letting insecurity drive your relationships, reminding listeners that insecurity—often rooted in fear, low self-esteem, or past experiences—can lead to unhealthy decisions and emotional attachment to the wrong people. Tying it all together, the show reinforces a consistent theme: speak life, trust God’s timing, and don’t let fear—whether in your decisions, your body, or your relationships—lead the way.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell dives into a powerful mix of real-life relationships, faith, and inspiration, starting with a relatable conversation about feeling “locked out” of friendships. Erica opens up about the emotional confusion when communication breaks down and challenges listeners to lean into uncomfortable but necessary conversations to restore connection. She encourages grace, patience, and intentionality—reminding listeners that healing relationships takes effort, even when it’s hard, and sometimes the issue may not be about you at all but what others are going through.   The show also highlights inspiring voices, including gospel artist Jason Clayborn, who shares the message behind his new single “Whatever It Is,” reminding listeners to trust God through life’s challenges—an idea reflected in his faith-centered music career producing Billboard-charting hits and gospel collaborations.

When doubt creeps in and life feels uncertain, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell reminds listeners to lean into faith, not fear, and trust that God is already working things out.

The show emphasizes that worry comes from trying to control what only God already understands, and peace comes when you release that control and walk in faith.   The inspiration continues with the E&G “True Hollywood Bible Story” spotlighting Ahab and Jezebel, using humor to unpack a deeper lesson about manipulation, weak leadership, and the consequences of turning away from God. Their story—rooted in the biblical account where Jezebel influenced King Ahab toward corruption, injustice, and idol worship—serves as a cautionary tale about power, influence, and integrity. The episode also features PJ Morton, who joins the show to discuss his new gospel single “Mercy,” a track rooted in gratitude for God’s unearned favor and grace, reinforcing the episode’s overarching theme of trusting God’s love through every season.

Mornings with Erica Campbell, starting with a powerful reminder to trust God’s voice over fear and uncertainty. Erica’s Faith Walk challenges listeners to examine how their questions reflect their level of trust in God, encouraging believers to lean into prayer and spiritual guidance instead of acting out of ego or self-reliance.

Research supports this, showing that positive, responsive parenting directly influences children’s emotional and language development, reinforcing how powerful affirming communication can be. Beyond the core topics, the show celebrates growth and purpose—spotlighting career milestones like Kierra Sheard Kelly receiving the BMI Impact Award for her influence on gospel music and reflecting on Erica’s own acting role in Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery, a film that explores faith, accountability, and the consequences of temptation in modern relationships.

Dr. Kym Lee returns to Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell and instantly sets the tone with powerful, real-life encouragement—reminding listeners to stop seeking validation where it isn’t being given. Her message about “stop auditioning for people who aren’t casting you” hits home, urging people to release the pressure of proving themselves and lean into purpose, identity, and God’s assignment. That theme carries into her “Love Talk,” where she challenges listeners to reflect inward with one bold question: would you date yourself? The conversation taps into a broader truth about self-worth—psychology experts note that chasing approval often leads to exhaustion and self-abandonment, while personal growth begins when you stop seeking validation and start building identity from within. Alongside that, her “Faith Walk” analogy—kicking the glass to escape what’s holding you back—drives home the urgency of choosing growth over comfort.   The show also spotlights gospel star Kelontae Gavin, who joins to talk about his viral single “At the Meeting,” a modern spin on classic quartet gospel that has exploded across social media.

Using the analogy of planting and roots, she encourages anyone feeling stuck halfway through the year to stay focused, trust the process, and stop measuring progress by visible results alone. That theme carries into her “Kym Talk,” where she tackles growth from a real-world lens—addressing backlash around Lizzo’s go-go cover and calling out a bigger truth: some people are comfortable with your potential, but not your expansion.  On the financial side, Dave Anderson (The Business Bully) breaks down why income alone doesn’t build wealth, emphasizing ownership, investing, and passing down assets as the real path to generational stability—an idea backed by broader data showing persistent wealth gaps tied to lack of assets and ownership opportunities.

Erica’s Faith Walk reminds listeners that God didn’t send Jesus to condemn the world, but to save it—shifting the focus from guilt and shame to purpose and transformation. The discussion reinforces the difference between conviction, which draws you closer to God and encourages change, and condemnation, which creates shame and distance. The show also brings Scripture to life with a creative retelling of the story of Abigail, Nabal, and David, highlighting how Abigail’s wisdom and humility stopped conflict before it escalated—an example of how discernment and quick action can shift outcomes and allow God’s justice to prevail.  On the music side, the energy stays high as gospel artist Jahcee joins the show to introduce “Breaking News,” a powerful worship anthem created through the CCC Collective alongside Israel Houghton.

Biblical scholars note that Solomon’s request was significant because it showed humility and a desire to serve others rather than self‑interest, which is why God responded by giving him more than he asked for.   The show then shifts to practical life wisdom with Money Mondays, as financial strategist Dave Anderson, known as The Business Bully, breaks down why credit health is essential in moments of economic uncertainty. He offers straightforward advice on pulling credit reports, addressing discrepancies, lowering credit utilization, and communicating with creditors rather than avoiding them—steps experts widely identify as foundational to improving credit scores. The episode also covers the sudden shutdown of Spirit Airlines, explaining how the budget carrier ceased operations after failing to secure a $500 million federal bailout, leaving thousands of travelers stranded and marking the collapse of one of America’s most recognizable ultra‑low‑cost airlines amid rising fuel costs and repeated bankruptcy filings. Together, the conversations balance faith, finances, and real‑world headlines—helping listeners start the week spiritually grounded and practically prepared.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

This episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell weaves together faith, culture, and inspiration, led by the always-engaging E&G True Hollywood Bible Story. The team brings new life to the familiar Genesis account of Jacob and Esau, breaking down how Esau’s impulsive decision to trade his birthright for a bowl of stew serves as a timeless warning against sacrificing long-term purpose for short-term satisfaction. The conversation underscores the spiritual weight of stewardship, patience, and honoring what God has entrusted to us—lessons that continue to resonate with believers today.   The show also features uplifting music and fresh voices, including gospel artist Josh Bracy, who stops by to share his single "Favor Everywhere.” Bracy discusses how the song reflects God’s grace showing up in everyday life and how balancing ministry, music, and family keeps him grounded.

This uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell centers on celebration, faith, and empowerment. As Erica celebrates her birthday, she offers a deeply personal Faith Walk encouraging listeners to live with expectation—not anxiety—trusting that God’s timing and blessings are intentional, not random. Reflecting on life, growth, and gratitude, Erica reminds the Get Up Church that placing your heart in a posture of faith and patience allows hope to thrive, even amid uncertainty. Her message echoes a broader encouragement shared across her platform: no matter the season, expect God to do great things.   The show also features powerful conversations that blend spiritual and practical wisdom. Pastor Touré Roberts joins Erica to discuss his new book, Knowing: The Journey to Certainty in an Uncertain World, where he explores “divine intelligence” — the inner, God-given knowing that brings clarity in chaotic times. He emphasizes trusting this inner compass over fear or noise, a message resonating strongly in today’s uncertain climate. In addition, licensed gerontology social worker Dr. Macy Smith sheds light on the rising rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia, explaining that lifestyle choices—such as staying socially engaged, physically active, and mentally stimulated—can significantly reduce risk, a claim supported by current research showing up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable with healthy habits.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, gospel powerhouse Tasha Page‑Lockhart stops by to talk about her long‑awaited return to new music with her latest single, He’s On the Way. After a nearly seven‑year break from releasing solo projects, Tasha shares how healing, reflection, and trusting God’s timing shaped both her life and music, offering encouragement to anyone waiting on a breakthrough. Her testimony of perseverance aligns perfectly with the song’s message—that even when the answer feels delayed, God is still moving behind the scenes and showing up right on time.   The show also leans into spiritual insight and laughter with the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story retelling of Jesus raising Jairus’ daughter, based on Mark 5:21–43. In classic Get Up fashion, the story highlights the powerful moment when Jesus clears out the mourners, speaking life where others saw finality—an enduring reminder that faith often requires silencing doubt before a miracle can happen. Plus, with Jai stepping in for GRIFF as guest co‑host, the morning is filled with authentic faith talk, encouragement about accountability and growth, and the kind of real‑life perspective that keeps the Get Up Church inspired and engaged.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell delivers a powerful, joy-filled episode anchored in faith, love, and purpose as Erica Campbell challenges listeners to truly live out their Christian walk. Drawing from Romans 12:2, Erica’s Faith Walk focuses on renewing the mind—rejecting superficial values and aligning daily decisions with God’s will, not popular culture. She reminds believers that discipleship isn’t proven by titles or appearances, but by how we love others, echoing her moving message that “they will know us by our love.” This theme continues through heartfelt reflections on sharing faith authentically beyond church walls and letting compassion—not judgment—be our witness, a message deeply rooted in Christian teaching and widely discussed by faith leaders and theologians.   The show also celebrates gospel history in the making as Lisa Knowles-Smith joins as guest co-host, marking the success of her hit single "Promises,” which recently made history as the first all-female gospel quartet song to reach No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Gospel charts. Lisa opens up about honoring her family legacy, mentoring a new generation of quartet artists, and inviting listeners to help choose her next single—turning the Get Up Church into part of the creative process. Rounding out the episode, holistic practitioner Alana Atkins brings practical insight during Healthy Ever After, breaking down common weight-loss blockers like seed oils, low muscle activation, and poor sleep habits—topics currently fueling major health conversations nationwide as experts debate how inflammation, metabolism, and daily habits impact long-term wellness. The result is a full show that feeds the soul, celebrates legacy, and equips listeners to live healthier—inside and out.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this powerful edition of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica delivers a soul‑stirring Faith Walk anchored in Proverbs 24:10 — “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” Drawing from scripture, personal reflection, and spiritual wisdom, Erica challenges listeners to rethink how trials are meant to build strength, not break it. She reminds us that adversity isn’t proof of God’s absence but often evidence that growth is happening, encouraging everyone to shift their mindset, guard their voice, and stand confidently in God’s strength rather than their own.   The show also features Grammy‑winning artist Charles Jenkins, who sits in for GRIFF and introduces his brand‑new album The Blue Chevette, a feel‑good, R&B‑inspired project rooted in gratitude, love, and everyday joy. Jenkins shares how the album reflects his upbringing and expands the sound of gospel beyond Sunday morning, with tracks like “Best Day” celebrating life’s simple wins. Erica wraps the day with a heartfelt Love Talk, urging listeners—especially singles—to change their mind about love, release fear and past disappointment, and realign their expectations with God’s design for healthy, hope‑filled relationships, a recurring theme in her faith‑based relationship teachings.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

It was a joy-filled and faith-packed morning on Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell as the Get Up Church came together to celebrate Cheryl’s birthday, flooding the show with love, gratitude, and heartfelt tributes that highlighted her impact both on and off the air. The celebration set the tone for a powerful episode centered on encouragement, purpose, and gratitude. The morning also featured deep spiritual reflection through the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story of Doubting Thomas, bringing John 20 to life and reminding listeners that faith isn’t the absence of questions, but the courage to believe even after doubt — a lesson theologians and Bible scholars often point to as one of the most relatable post‑resurrection moments in scripture.  The episode also welcomed Jekalyn Carr, who stopped by to talk about her new single “History (Breakthrough)”, a collaboration with gospel legends Shirley Caesar, Karen Clark Sheard, and Harvey Watkins Jr. The song — part of her Jekalyn X The Legends project — draws from the idea that remembering what God has already done fuels faith for what’s next, a theme Jekalyn emphasized through her testimony, prayer life, and commitment to bridging generations in gospel music. Between the birthday celebration, biblical storytelling, and powerful music ministry, the show delivered a reminder that joy, faith, and breakthrough often meet right where community and belief intersect.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Faith, discipline, and wellness take center stage on this episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Erica opens with a powerful reminder to walk by faith, not by sight, encouraging listeners to step into purpose even when the path feels uncomfortable or uncertain. She challenges the audience to move beyond fear, hesitation, and self‑doubt, emphasizing that obedience often comes before clarity. That message deepens as Erica speaks candidly about learning to live past your feelings, urging believers to let God’s Word—not emotions—be the loudest voice guiding decisions, relationships, and daily behavior.  The show also delivers practical tools for whole‑body health during Healthy Ever After with Dr. Ian Smith, who breaks down why protein is essential for energy, hormones, immune support, and muscle health—especially as we age. Drawing from his latest book, The Last 15, Dr. Smith explains that most adults don’t get enough protein and shares why increasing protein intake can help stabilize blood sugar, support metabolism, and preserve lean muscle mass. Backed by medical research that shows higher protein intake supports muscle retention and overall health, the conversation reinforces a key theme of the morning: faith and stewardship go hand in hand—honoring God means taking care of both your spirit and your body.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

This uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell centers on spiritual renewal and the power of personal transformation. Erica’s Faith Walk dives into 2 Corinthians 5:17, reminding listeners that being “in Christ” means the old life is gone and a new one has begun — not just in belief, but in behavior, mindset, and identity. The message challenges believers to stop glorifying who they used to be and fully walk in the freedom and purpose of who God has made them now, a theme echoed throughout the show’s moments of prayer, encouragement, and reflection.   The show also brings scripture to life with the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story spotlighting David and Nathan, a powerful reminder of accountability, repentance, and grace drawn from 2 Samuel 12, where Nathan boldly confronts King David with the truth, leading to repentance rather than destruction. Rounding out the episode, Bishop William Murphy III joins Get Up! to introduce his song “No Failure,” a prophetic declaration reminding listeners that while people stumble, God never does. Murphy opens up about how grief, leadership pressure, and personal transition shaped the message behind the song, offering hope that God’s promises remain intact — even in seasons that feel like setbacks.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

If your mornings have been starting with anxiety instead of peace, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell hit right on time with a powerful reminder to stop doom scrolling and protect your mental health. Drawing from real-life observations and faith-based wisdom, Erica breaks down how constant exposure to negative news and social media can fuel anxiety, disrupt sleep, and steal your joy—something mental health experts say is closely linked to increased stress, depression, and emotional exhaustion. She encourages listeners to set boundaries with their phones, limit negative content, and intentionally make space for God, rest, and positive thought patterns rooted in peace rather than fear.   The show also brought clarity and empowerment with legal expert Judge Melodee Armstrong, who explained what families and individuals need to know after serious transportation accidents. Judge Armstrong emphasized the importance of gathering evidence, seeking legal counsel early, and understanding your rights—especially in complex cases involving airlines, large companies, or insurance providers who move quickly to protect themselves. Rounding out the morning, Erica delivered a heartfelt message for anyone stuck asking, “What’s wrong with me?”—reminding listeners that negative self-talk is often tied to stress, trauma, or unmet expectations, not personal failure. Mental health research supports this, linking chronic self-criticism to anxiety and depression, while highlighting mindset renewal, faith, and self-compassion as essential tools for healing. The takeaway was clear: protect your peace, advocate for yourself, and remember—there is nothing wrong with you.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica challenges listeners to live their faith out loud, reminding us that Christianity is recognized not by appearances or arguments, but by love in action. Drawing from John 13:35, she encourages believers to reflect Christ through kindness, humility, and how we treat people every day — a message that resonates deeply in a time when faith is often louder online than it is loving in real life. The conversation pushes listeners to check what they’re exuding and to make sure their walk matches their witness.   The show also delivers powerful motivation with Erica’s reflection on I Refuse to Settle, inspired by Charmaine Tucker’s newly released book, which calls believers to stop accepting average relationships, careers, and circumstances simply because they’re convenient. The message centers on choosing purpose over comfort and trusting God enough to wait for better. Rounding out the episode, Dave Anderson, “The Business Bully,” brings his signature Money Monday truth, urging listeners to stop romanticizing ideas and start executing them — reminding us that faith and finances work together, and that growth requires structure, discipline, and action.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this Good Friday edition of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, the show centers on faith, patience, and purpose as believers prepare for Resurrection Sunday. Pastor Dale C. Bronner, senior pastor of Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral, delivers a powerful Fresh Word reminding listeners that “some things take time,” encouraging perseverance in prayer and patience with people—especially when believing God for transformation. His message aligns with a core Christian theme of Holy Week: reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice on the cross while trusting that God’s work often unfolds over seasons, not moments, a perspective widely emphasized during Good Friday observances across the global church.   Erica then challenges listeners to walk confidently in their God‑given purpose, sharing real‑world insight from her own career journey and reminding believers that validation comes from calling—not popularity. The show also welcomes rising worship artist Madison Copeland, who introduces her new single “What Kind of Love (Agape),” released just in time for Resurrection Weekend. Drawing from the biblical meaning of agape—God’s unconditional, sacrificial love—Copeland explains how the song reflects Christ’s love shown through the cross and resurrection, a message at the heart of Easter faith worldwide. Together, the episode blends spiritual encouragement, cultural relevance, and worship that points listeners back to hope, identity, and the power of God’s love.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Faith, wellness, and purpose take center stage in a powerful and uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Erica opens with a heartfelt Faith Walk, encouraging listeners to be intentional about growing in the Word—not just knowing scripture, but truly understanding and living it. She challenges believers to spend focused time in the Bible, even if it’s just one verse at a time, reminding listeners that consistent spiritual practices like prayer and scripture study are widely shown to support clarity, resilience, and emotional well‑being. The message is clear: faith grows when we make room for it daily, not just on Sundays.  The conversation then shifts from spiritual growth to physical and personal transformation. During Healthy Ever After, certified trainer Dawn Strozier breaks down why progress isn’t always reflected on the scale, noting that better sleep, increased energy, clearer skin, and reduced pain are all real indicators of improved health—an approach supported by public health research showing that consistent movement benefits the body and brain well beyond weight loss. Erica closes with a deeply personal Erica‑ism, urging listeners to embrace discomfort as part of growth and to stop expecting extraordinary results from average effort. Drawing from her own experience, she reminds the audience that renewal—spiritually, mentally, and physically—takes time, courage, and a willingness to do something new. The episode ultimately encourages listeners to trust the process, stay consistent, and boldly pursue the best version of themselves.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this “terrific Tuesday,” the show opens with prayer and a Faith Walk centered on letting God lead—not as a shortcut to an easy life, but as a posture of trust when life feels confusing. The conversation points listeners back to scripture (including Jeremiah 29:11 and the reminder that God “knows the plans,” plus the idea that God is at work even in the hard parts), using a simple metaphor: life works better when you stop trying to fight for control and let God take the lead. A helpful bit of added context: Jeremiah 29:11 was originally written to people living in exile, offering hope and a future in the middle of a long, difficult season—not a promise that nothing hard will happen—so the encouragement here is endurance and trust, not “instant ease.”   Later, the episode’s biggest moments include a standout interview with Bishop Paul S. Morton, who joins the show to talk about his new single “Go Through” (a family collaboration featuring PJ Morton and Jasmine Morton Robinson) and the heart behind the message: you don’t get to the “other side” by getting stuck—you go through. Reporting around the release also notes the track is positioned as an anthem of resilience and is available on major streaming platforms. Then Dr. Willie Jolley’s “Wake Up and Win” spotlights Junior Bridgeman—a former NBA player who became known for building major wealth through business ownership (including fast-food franchises), reinforcing the show’s theme of steady, intentional growth. In the relationship/advice lane, the rundown also includes Love Talk: “Careful with the potions” (listed in the show materials), and the on-air discussion warns against treating people like “options,” because commitment and legacy require real decisions—not endless swiping.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Erica Campbell kicked off this Get Up! Mornings episode with a heart-check that hit home: “Comfortable Being Me” isn’t a vibe—it’s a decision. She shared why she chose a natural, low-maintenance haircut and challenged listeners to stop feeling like they have to “add something” (hair, makeup, extra anything) to be worthy, beautiful, or confident. The bigger message: learn to be at peace with who you already are—take care of yourself, yes, but don’t perform for everyone else to feel valid. That theme carries straight into Money Monday with finance expert Anthony O’Neal, who laid out practical ways to break generational money habits—starting with normalizing monthly family budget meetings and involving kids early so money isn’t “mysterious” when they grow up. He also recommended a simple framework for teaching children how to handle money—prioritizing giving, saving, then spending—and reminded parents they don’t have to be perfect to start; they can learn in real time using free resources and guidance.   Then Erica’s Love Talk asked a question meant to spark honest reflection: are you showing up as a blessing—or just another bill? She pushed back on transactional dating expectations (rent, nails, car note, expensive dinners as “requirements”) and urged women to prioritize heart connection, alignment, and legacy over “pay-for-play energy,” because money alone won’t build a lasting partnership. The takeaway wasn’t “don’t want nice things”—it was don’t reduce relationships to transactions and don’t miss real partnership because you’re only measuring what someone can buy. If you’re trying to build something real, experts consistently point to the same foundations Erica was circling: clear communication, self-awareness, and healthy boundaries—because long-term relationships work better when expectations are discussed honestly and respect stays intact.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Faith takes center stage on this powerful Friday edition of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell as Pastor Reginald Wayne Sharp II, senior pastor of Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, delivers a timely Fresh Word Friday reminding listeners to “control what you can and give the rest to God.” Known nationally for his clear, culturally relevant preaching, Pastor Sharp challenges believers to focus on personal obedience and spiritual integrity instead of trying to manage outcomes beyond their control — a message that continues to resonate across his growing congregation and digital ministry. The encouragement flows seamlessly into Erica Campbell’s heartfelt reflection on knowing your assignment, where she shares a defining moment with Donnie McClurkin that reshaped her understanding of ministry beyond church walls, emphasizing that purpose sometimes places you where you’re misunderstood — but exactly where God needs you.   The inspiration continues with a special in‑studio conversation featuring gospel powerhouse Deitrick Haddon, who joins the show to discuss his brand‑new choir‑driven single, “The King of Glory,” recorded with The Hill City Collective and STOUT. Released in March 2026, the song blends traditional gospel energy with bold worship declarations, reflecting Haddon’s lifelong commitment to choir music and his roots in ministry. During the interview, Haddon opens up about staying spiritually grounded while pushing creative boundaries, sharing how discipline, prayer, and clarity of calling have kept him relevant across decades in gospel music. Together, these moments create a soul‑stirring episode that challenges listeners to walk confidently in purpose, remain rooted in faith, and boldly share the message wherever God has placed them.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On this uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, the show centers on faith, healing, and resilience, beginning with a powerful conversation with Marquis Gold of Fresh Start Worship, who joins the show to discuss the group’s new single “You Are.” Gold shares his personal testimony of surviving a life‑threatening illness that landed him in the ICU, explaining how the song was born out of a moment when doctors told him to prepare for the worst. His story echoes a growing trend in gospel music where worship songs are deeply rooted in lived testimony, positioning “You Are” as a declaration of faith forged through crisis rather than comfort.   The episode also features an engaging E&G True Hollywood Bible Story spotlighting Jesus healing Peter’s mother‑in‑law from a severe fever (Luke 4:38–39), emphasizing Jesus’ compassion, authority over sickness, and the immediate response of service after healing—an often‑highlighted theme in biblical scholarship as a model of discipleship. Building on that message, Erica delivers a deeply personal Ericaism on choosing peace over denial, drawing a clear line between pretending nothing is wrong and resting in God while fully acknowledging reality. Faith leaders and theologians consistently reinforce this distinction, noting that true peace doesn’t ignore pain but trusts God within it—a message that resonated throughout the show as callers shared testimonies of healing, gratitude, and endurance.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

This episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell centers on spiritual trust, inner renewal, and practical wellness, all wrapped in encouragement and prayer. Erica’s Faith Walk challenges listeners to “close your eyes and walk,” reminding us that walking by faith—not sight—means trusting God’s direction even when the path isn’t visible. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:7, the conversation reinforces that faith is a daily decision to rely on God’s promises rather than circumstances, trusting that He is working behind the scenes even when we can’t see it. Listeners are encouraged to develop familiarity with God’s voice through consistent prayer and Scripture, allowing peace—not fear—to guide their steps.   The show also highlights the Love Talk rooted in Ezekiel 36:26, focusing on God’s promise to give us a new heart and a new spirit. Erica reflects on how life’s pressures can harden us, but God offers spiritual renewal—replacing hearts of stone with hearts of compassion, hope, and tenderness toward Him and others. Rounding out the episode, Healthy Ever After with Alana Atkins brings timely insight into spring health, explaining how seasonal transitions support the body’s natural detox process. Spring is associated with liver function and renewal, and Alana shares gentle, practical ways—like reducing heavy foods and supporting digestion—to align with the season without extreme cleanses. Together, these segments encourage listeners to trust God deeply, embrace spiritual transformation, and steward their physical health with wisdom.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

This uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell opens with a powerful Faith Walk centered on “Knowing Jesus More,” as Erica reflects on how intentionally deepening her relationship with Christ has transformed her confidence, endurance, and hope. Drawing from her new Christology study, Erica reminds listeners that knowing about Jesus is not the same as truly knowing Him—and that life’s hardships become survivable when faith is rooted in a personal relationship with Christ, not surface‑level tradition. Her testimony encourages listeners to keep seeking, trusting that God is always at work, even when the full picture isn’t visible.   The show also features a standout interview with Judge Glenda Hatchett, who celebrates 25 years on television while continuing her mission of justice and empowerment.

On this powerful Monday edition of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, the show opens with a Faith Walk centered on believing God’s love, reminding listeners that God’s love is not based on feelings or performance but on who He is. Drawing from scriptures like John 3:16, Erica emphasizes that belief is not just intellectual agreement but active trust—an idea widely affirmed in biblical scholarship, which explains that “believing” means resting fully in God’s love and promises. The show also features Dear Future Wifey gems about forgiveness and boundaries, encouraging emotional wisdom, while Erica’s Erica‑ism challenges listeners to embrace flexibility and trust God when life requires unexpected change.  The conversation continues with Money Monday featuring financial expert Jini Thornton, who breaks down the importance of legacy and estate planning, especially within families. She explains that preparing wills, guardianship plans, and clear roles isn’t about fear—it’s about peace, love, and protecting future generations, a point echoed by financial experts who say legacy planning reduces family conflict and ensures values—not just assets—are passed down. The show closes with a heartfelt Love Talk on living in today, reminding listeners not to get stuck in past moments or future anxiety. Research on mindfulness supports this message, showing that living in the present improves emotional health, relationships, and clarity, while Wake Up & Win with Dr. Willie Jolley highlights Eleanor Roosevelt’s courage and civil‑rights legacy, inspiring listeners to stand up for what’s right and believe in the beauty of their dreams.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell

The conversation reinforces why daily engagement with Scripture matters—building confidence in God’s character and His ability to guide us, even when life feels uncertain.   The episode also tackles practical life lessons, including why saying “call my manager” is not an insult but a sign of professionalism and respect for boundaries—especially when purpose, time, and responsibility are involved.

This powerful episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell centers on the annual St. Jude Children’s Hospital Radiothon, celebrating the lifesaving work made possible through listener generosity. Throughout the show, Erica, Griff, and the Get Up Church share emotional stories of young patients—including Kennedy, Braylen, Ashton, Phoenix, Reagan, Kinsley, Cameron, and Harry—whose families turned to St. Jude during the darkest moments of childhood cancer battles. Their stories highlight St. Jude’s model of providing treatment, housing, food, and travel at no cost to families, ensuring parents can focus solely on their child’s healing—an approach echoed nationwide during similar radiothons from major stations like WMCI, B100, and urban radio networks all rallying communities to support St. Jude’s mission.   The episode underscores not just St. Jude’s emotional impact but its historic medical breakthroughs, noting that childhood cancer survival rates have risen from around 20% in the 1960s to over 80% today, thanks in part to donor‑funded research. Erica and the team repeatedly call on listeners to become “Partners in Hope” by giving $19 a month, a contribution that directly fuels cutting‑edge treatment and research shared globally to save more children. With gospel artists, volunteers, and callers joining in throughout the broadcast, the episode becomes both a celebration of generosity and a reminder of the urgent need to continue fighting childhood cancer—one story, one donation, and one child at a time.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell
