Get Up! Mornings With Erica Campbell

Today’s episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell centered on intentional, love‑driven living, beginning with Erica’s Faith Walk reminding listeners that “all that you do be done in love.” Through scripture and real‑life reflections, she encouraged shifting motives from fear, irritation, and people‑pleasing to genuine Christ‑like love—echoing Paul’s call for believers to let every action be rooted in compassion and unity, as reinforced in broader biblical commentary on 1 Corinthians 16:14. In the Ericaism, she challenged the habit of expecting bad news, urging listeners to intentionally anticipate the good and remain open to God’s encouragement even in small moments. The show also touched on cultural news, trending topics, joys and concerns, and morning inspiration woven throughout the broadcast.  A highlight of the day was Erica and Cheryl’s in‑depth conversation with Apostle Mike Freeman, who shared powerful insights from his new book Seed Management—a teaching on the biblical law of seedtime and harvest and how disciplined, Spirit‑led stewardship shapes the outcomes of our lives. Later, in Love Talk, Erica confronted the painful reality of settling for relationships devoid of genuine effort or honor. She reminded listeners that “you deserve more,” aligning with broader Christian teachings on self‑worth that emphasize boundaries, dignity, and embracing identity in Christ rather than settling for treatment beneath one’s God‑given value. Together, these segments delivered a morning filled with clarity, conviction, and confidence—showing listeners how to love deeply, dream boldly, and honor themselves fully.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Kickstart your spiritual momentum with inspiring insights into fasting, reflections from Proverbs, and an uplifting gospel collaboration!  Today’s Faith Walk dared listeners into a season of spiritual fasting—opting out of meats, sweets, and distractions to deepen intimacy with God. Erica reminded us that fasting resets our souls, aligns priorities, and primes us for clarity and spiritual breakthrough—an alignment affirmed by experts who note fasting cultivates humility, sharper prayer, and greater spiritual sensitivity.   In “True Hollywood Bible Story,” the crew unpacked Proverbs 18:6–7, highlighting how careless speech can lead to discord and destruction. That mirror moment— “watch your mouth” reinforced the power of words and the wisdom in reigning them in.   Later, The Whispers—legendary R&B voices turned gospel ambassadors—shared their freshly remixed track “I Sing This Song for You,” produced in collaboration with Fred Hammond. They honored their late brothers and faith journey, inviting new fans into their 60-year legacy and calling for fresh voices to continue their harmony-filled ministry.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Erica Campbell opens the episode with a powerful Faith Walk segment titled “It’s Okay to Struggle,” encouraging listeners to wrestle with their faith through scripture and community, much like Jacob’s encounter with the angel. She underscores that seeking clarity in God's Word and processing doubts openly is not only acceptable—it’s essential. This invitation to vulnerability combats isolation and fosters spiritual growth, reinforcing that faith deepens when we embrace challenges with humility and support.   Later in the show, Erica delivers her heartfelt Ericaism: “A Message for My Brothers.” She reminds men that enduring weariness is not weakness—Jesus Himself wept and sought rest. True strength lies in honesty, community, and the courage to seek help rather than suffer alone. The episode also features a special guest segment with Keisha Ealy and Dr. Marcus Mason, who introduce their new musical, "Experiencing the Dream: MLK – The Musical." Centered on the love story of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, the production—set to premiere in mid‑January at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center—blends music, faith, and history to inspire audiences toward unity and love.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell

Next, in ERICAism: Talking with My Mom, Erica reflects on how her mother’s spiritual guidance shaped her identity and confidence. In a poignant back‑to‑school memory from eighth grade, she recalls writing affirmations to herself—proof that emotional support from parents fosters lifelong self‑worth.   The episode’s centerpiece is the Interview with Dr. Willie Jolley, spotlighting his “Power of Tomorrow” philosophy.

Finally, in Love Talk – Talking with My Kids, Erica shares heartfelt lessons on nurturing faith, confidence, and enduring love in her children—emphasizing that a solid foundation at home equips kids to stand against the world’s negativity.   Together, these conversations weave a tapestry of trusting God’s grace, honoring parental influence, shaping tomorrow with intentionality, and fostering loving family connections—all central themes to this inspiring episode.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Erica kicks off the show with a heartfelt “Faith Walk: Kids with Faith,” emphasizing the importance of modeling prayer and godly behavior for children so they internalize faith early. Studies show children exposed to consistent faith-based routines—like prayer and discussing spiritual matters—gain resilience, empathy, and a strong moral compass that stay with them throughout life.   In “Money Mondays,” Jini Thornton emphasizes legacy planning tools like setting Payable‑On‑Death (POD) designations on accounts to bypass probate, ensuring your wishes are honored efficiently. She also stresses the importance of regularly reviewing life insurance beneficiaries and sharing key job and policy information with loved ones—preparation that protects families and avoids future disputes.  The “Love Talk: Love Tips” segment offers simple strategies for couples to strengthen bonds: prioritize fun over criticism, pray together to enhance emotional intimacy, maintain meaningful eye contact during conversations, and increase non-sexual physical touch—like bedtime foot rubs and hand-holding—to deepen connection and reduce stress. Research confirms that eye contact and affectionate touch boost trust and emotional bonding, while shared prayer fosters spiritual and emotional connection.  

This episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell brings a deeply moving blend of spiritual insight, heartfelt prayer, and a soul-stirring musical tribute. Fresh Word Friday features Pastor Kenny Baldwin of Crossroads Baptist Church in Virginia challenging listeners to cultivate faithfulness in everyday acts—reminding us that being reliable in small responsibilities honors God, regardless of recognition or reward. Erica then leads a powerful prayer, anchoring Isaiah 54:17, Psalm 1 and Romans 12:2, declaring divine protection, wisdom, and discernment over children—a practice rooted in Scripture and echoed by many Christian prayer guides.   The highlight of the episode is the interview with singer and pastor Dr. E. Dewey Smith, who returns with a moving rendition of “Lead Me, Guide Me,” a hymn his late father, Rev. Eddie D. Smith Sr., often sang. Dr. Smith shared how the recording is both a tribute and a response to today's uncertain times—urging listeners to root themselves in hymns and daily prayer as anchors against rising anxiety and societal upheaval. With its mix of spiritual exhortation, familial prayer, and rich gospel music, the show offers deeply rooted encouragement designed to uplift your faith, your family, and your daily life.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Get Up! Mornings dove into a powerful blend of inspiration and heritage today. Erica led the Faith Walk with a deep meditation on John 3:16, encouraging listeners to explore the cause, cost, condition, and consequence of salvation. This verse, often called the “Golden Text of the Bible,” is central to understanding God's boundless love—sacrificing His only Son so believers may obtain eternal life—and highlights how meditating on scripture daily sustains hope and faith through life’s challenges. Through bringing this meaningful verse into everyday reflection, the devotional segment invited listeners to internalize the Word deeply and strengthen their trust in God’s plan.   The show’s True Hollywood Bible Story featured the confrontation and covenant between Jacob and Laban from Genesis 31. This story underscores divine guidance—God prompting Jacob to leave after 20 years, leading to Laban’s confrontation, and both men sealing a non‑aggression pact with a rock heap as witness, invoking God as their overseer. The narrative highlights reconciliation and God’s faithful presence amid familial tension.   The highlight interview was with gospel-soul legend Candi Staton, celebrating her new single “My God Has a Telephone”—a moving duet with William Bell—off her 32nd album Back to My Roots. This collab marks her first Grammy nomination in 40 years, a testament to her enduring influence in gospel music. Candi shared that working with Bell rekindled lifelong friendship and spiritual synergy, and the single’s theme of prayer as a direct line to God resonated deeply in their shared faith journey.   These segments—reflection on scripture, powerful biblical storytelling, and celebrating gospel legacy—wove a morning rich in spiritual depth and cultural roots.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Erica opens the show with a powerful Faith Walk message centered on Psalm 19:14, encouraging listeners to align “the words of [their] mouth and the meditation of [their] heart” with God’s truth—a call to ensure that spoken faith reflects internal belief. She shares her personal experience of praying healing over her husband during his cancer battle, emphasizing that when inner conviction and outward words unite, miracles can unfold. This biblical verse, attributed to David, underscores the importance of letting our thoughts and speech honor God by reflecting His will.   Next, Healthy Ever After guest Alana Atkins explains how aloe vera juice supports gut health and skin vitality: its polysaccharide-rich gel soothes the intestinal lining, reduces inflammation, aids digestion and absorption, and promotes skin clarity by boosting collagen—plus it acts as an internal deodorizer by binding toxins. Finally, Erica’s Love Talk on “Marriage is a Trip” delves into committed partnerships—she praises her husband’s acceptance of her authentic self after 25 years together, emphasizing that allowing room for growth and individual identity is key to a thriving union. Experts agree: maintaining autonomy fosters intimacy and trust in long-term relationships.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

On today’s Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica explores how “They’ll Know Christians by Their Love” challenges believers to let genuine love—more than accomplishments or image—stand as their defining mark, rooted in John 13:35. The hymn, originally penned in the 1960s by Peter Scholtes amid social and racial turmoil, became an anthem of unity and discipleship that transcends denominational lines. Erica emphasizes that serving with a humble heart, from greeters to groundskeepers, is what truly reflects Christ’s love in the world—a call to live kindness as witness to faith.   Noted gospel artist James Fortune joined the show to share insights about his new In the Room: Preluxe EP, the first offering from his 20th-anniversary live project. Featuring six tracks—led by the title single “In the Room”—the EP celebrates God’s presence in every space, from hospital rooms to living rooms. It also highlights impactful collaborations with Todd Galberth and Pastor Mike Jr. and gives listeners an early taste of Fortune’s full 25-track live album slated for next year.   In the heartfelt “Love the Elders” segment, the hosts address the spiritual and practical importance of honoring aging parents and community elders. They highlight how loving our elders—through compassion, preparation conversations, and respect—preserves family unity and reflects biblical values. Scriptural principles from Leviticus, Timothy, and Proverbs underscore this call to value older generations as sources of divine wisdom and grace.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

In this episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, listeners embark on a spiritual journey. Fresh Word Friday features Bishop S.Y. Younger delivering a powerful message on discipleship—urging the church to move beyond mere gathering into true life transformation, rooted in repentance as “rethinking” rather than surface change. He draws a vivid analogy, describing church as a huddle before the real-world “play,” and emphasizes the need for heart transformation that reflects in behavior and worldview.     The Faith Walk segment evokes nostalgia as Erica reflects on her childhood experiences of hearing revered voices read Scripture, underscoring how spiritual memories root faith deeply in adulthood. This journey through memory bridges into modern application—encouraging listeners to pass on a rich heritage of faith to the next generation.  The interview with Brian Courtney Wilson brings into focus, presenting his latest collaboration with Common Hymnal on the new anthem “God Will Prevail”. This track blends worship and social justice in the collective’s hallmark style, carrying a timely message of hope amid adversity.

Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell delivers powerful encouragement on Christmas Eve with a Faith Walk centered on staying focused and not getting distracted while doing God’s work. Drawing from the story of Nehemiah, Erica reminds listeners that opposition often shows up when you’re moving in the right direction—and that perseverance, prayer, and spiritual discipline are key to finishing what God assigned you to do. The message resonates deeply during a season when stress, grief, and reflection can easily pull focus away from purpose.  The show also features a heartfelt interview with MAJOR., who stops by to discuss his reimagined Christmas release, “Little Drummer Boy.” He opens up about hope, gratitude, and the importance of reflecting on what God has already done, especially during the holidays.

Drawing from Matthew 5:8, she reminds listeners that a genuine heart—not accolades, not performance—positions us to see God clearly and walk in peace.

Bishop Joel Peebles’ Fresh Word Friday drives the point home, warning that “broken people break people” and urging you to watch who you let speak into your life, because your three closest friends often point to your future. Kym’s “Kymism” and thoughts tie it all together: God is the “master editor” of your life, pruning jealous, stagnant or one-sided relationships so your circle is full of truth-tellers, accountability and real love, not just hype and hidden resentment.   The show also spotlights new gospel music and real-world headlines. Houston worship leader Leroy Thomas stops by to debut his single “On Time,” a choir-ready reminder that God shows up right when you need Him, and shares his Heartstrings Foundation, created to keep music education and artistry alive in underserved communities.

Mornings with Erica Campbell Podcast, the first standout topic is Erica’s Faith Walk reflection on the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control) and how genuine faith is demonstrated through character, not just church attendance. She challenges listeners: “How do I know I’m a Christian? What proves it?” and reminds us that the fruit of the Spirit should be evident in everyday life, not just Sunday mornings.

On this episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica kicks things off with her Faith Walk, where she shares how the Holy Spirit acts as that gentle “snitch” in our lives—nudging us to wake up early, notice the boot on our car, or stay calm when the ride gets slow. She reminds us that these divine inklings aren’t to cause panic, but to help us stand in peace when chaos strikes. Drawing from everyday moments—like seeing that boot or being delayed by a talkative driver—Erica emphasizes: you don’t have to blow up emotionally just because circumstances frustrate you.    Later in the show, Erica delivers her Erica-ism of the Day: Who Do You Vent To? She challenges listeners to consider the difference between sharing with safe, trusted confidants vs. offloading everything on social media. As her podcast page puts it, honest emotional outlets require healthy boundaries, not just public confession. Shifting into culture and sports, Erica sits down with veteran reporter Steve Wyche (an HBCU alum) about his transition from covering the NFL to elevating HBCU stories on the streaming platform HBCU Go.

In today’s episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica Campbell dives deep into three transformative themes: first, in her Faith Walk segment Learn the Lesson, she reminds us that God’s timing often places us in a process, so we’ll grow, not just so we’ll get the answer. She urges listeners to ask not only “When will this be over?” but “What am I supposed to learn?” when facing life’s challenges.    Next, in her Ericaism of the day Put the Weight Down, Erica compares carrying past hurts and frustrations to lugging around a gallon of water—it’s heavy, pointless, and keeps you from fully walking in your purpose. She encourages you to lay that burden at Jesus’ feet and step into freedom. Finally, during Love Talk Ask the Question, Erica emphasizes the importance of open, honest communication in relationships. She points out that whether you’re asking a partner for help or simply stating a need, withholding the question only weakens connection and intimacy.   Together, these segments call listeners to allow the process to refine them, to release what’s holding them back, and to speak about their truth in love.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell 

Ready to rise and shine? Let’s dive into three powerful moments from Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell speak to the heart of progress, partnership, and purpose.  First up, Erica’s “Faith Walk”-moment reminds us: you can’t skip the process. Drawing from a story about a student who simply used the answers in the back of the book, Erica emphasizes that God wants to see the work — the heart posture, the growth, the stretching — not just the result. It’s a call to embrace the full journey of relationships, careers, parenting, and faith, because you may get the answer, but if you didn’t walk through the process, you’re not fully equipped.  Next, in her “Ericaism of the Day,” she explores the power of collaboration. Recalling her own experience in the music industry (when she and Tina Campbell worked with a large team to produce the hit “Shackles,” for example), she highlights how leaning on others’ ideas and strengths doesn’t undercut you — it strengthens the mission. “If you try to do it all by yourself, you’ll struggle,” she says, underscoring that unity and humility open the door for something bigger than solo success.   Finally, their energizing interview with gospel powerhouse Tye Tribbett featured his new single “Religious (Holy You)” and the upcoming “We Outside Tour,” which blends faith, culture and worship in fresh ways. Tribbett’s message is that true worship often happens beyond four walls, in the midst of life — and that his music is meant to be “something solid to hold on to when turbulence hits.”  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell
