In this powerful episode of NXT Chapter, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with Priscilla Shirer — New York Times bestselling author, internationally renowned speaker, and actress — for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about faith, grief, purpose, and the chapters that shape who we become.

 Priscilla opens up about growing up as the daughter of Pastor Tony Evans, the pressures of the "preacher's kid" fishbowl, and how her mother Lois Evans gave her the freedom to simply be a child. She reflects on losing ten family members in five years, including her beloved mother, and what it truly means to grieve while still believing in God's goodness. Priscilla also shares the shocking discovery of cancer in her lung — just one week after her mother's funeral — and the miraculous story of how she not only survived, but came out breathing at 100% capacity.

The conversation dives into the real work of marriage after 26 years alongside husband and business partner Jerry Shirer, lessons learned from mentors John and Trina Jenkins, and the importance of raising present, grounded sons. Priscilla talks candidly about her unexpected journey into film — from War Room to Overcomer to The Forge — and the values that guide every role she takes. Together, T.D. Jakes and Priscilla explore therapy and faith, the danger of pouring into others while neglecting yourself, learning to say no, and her mother's parting charge: don't drop the baton.

From walking as her love language to the luxury of margin, this episode is a masterclass in grace, grit, and what it looks like to live purposefully — one breath, one step, and one chapter at a time.

In this powerful episode of NXT Chapter, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with Anthony O'Neal — bestselling author, CEO, nationally recognized financial expert, and one of the most trusted voices in personal finance — for a raw and transformative conversation about money, mindset, and the decisions that shape your financial future. Anthony opens up about his own journey from homelessness in the back of a car in a Walmart parking lot, to becoming a leading authority on wealth building and financial literacy. He shares how a lack of financial education — not character — led him to $30,000 in debt in just seven months, and what it truly cost him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to find his way back.

Together, T.D. Jakes and Anthony O'Neal break down why our schools, communities, and families are failing to prepare the next generation for financial reality — and what it takes to change that. They discuss the difference between earning money and multiplying it, the danger of student loan debt, the power of margin over income, and why where you live may be the most important financial decision you ever make. Anthony also shares wisdom from his time as a professor teaching consumer economics, including why proper prior planning is the foundation of lasting wealth.

From real estate and home ownership to entrepreneurship, debt freedom, and regional cost of living strategies, this episode is a masterclass in financial intelligence — and a reminder that the information you never received doesn't have to define the chapter you're stepping into next.

Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo — who served in both the Obama White House and under President Biden — joins T.D. Jakes for a powerful and transparent conversation about leadership, inflation, economic policy, artificial intelligence, and America’s global influence. 

As one of the highest-ranking Nigerian American officials in U.S. history, Adeyemo shares behind-the-scenes insight into guiding the U.S. economy through historic turbulence — from supply chain disruption and inflation to overseeing sanctions that shape global conflict and diplomacy. He explains how economic tools have become central to national security and why trust, stability, and long-term thinking are essential to maintaining America’s position in the world.

The conversation also explores financial literacy, economic mobility, and access to capital for small businesses and underserved communities. Adeyemo speaks candidly about representation in positions of power and the responsibility that comes with shaping policies that affect millions of families.

Bishop Jakes and Adeyemo further discuss emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, digital finance, and the future of work — and what today’s leaders must do to prepare the next generation for an economy defined by rapid transformation.

Rooted in faith, guided by discipline, and driven by service, this episode offers a rare look inside the mindset of a leader operating at the center of global economic power — and the principles that sustain him in moments of pressure and consequence.

In this powerful episode of NXT Chapter, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with political commentator, activist, and CNN host Van Jones for a raw and thought-provoking conversation about faith, politics, race, redemption, and the future of America.


Van Jones opens up about working across party lines—from advising Barack Obama to collaborating on criminal justice reform during the Donald Trump administration—and what it really takes to create bipartisan change in a divided nation. He shares behind-the-scenes insights from his time in the White House, the evolution of prison reform policy, and how unlikely alliances helped reshape lives through second-chance legislation.


The conversation dives deep into media, power, and responsibility, including Van’s role at CNN and the pressures of navigating truth in an era of outrage. Together, he and T.D. Jakes explore the moral tension between activism and faith, the state of leadership under Joe Biden, and why empathy—not ego—is the missing ingredient in today’s political discourse.


From community transformation and economic empowerment to spiritual resilience and personal reinvention, this episode challenges listeners to think beyond party lines and toward purpose-driven leadership.


This is a masterclass in courage, collaboration, and conviction—proving that real change begins when we choose understanding over division and faith over fear.
