In this deeply personal and unfiltered conversation, Bishop TD Jakes sits down with Tyrese Gibson for one of the most vulnerable episodes yet of The Next Chapter. Known worldwide for his roles in Fast & Furious, his Grammy-nominated music career, and his impact as a bestselling author and entrepreneur, Tyrese opens up about trauma, grief, faith, mental health, relationships, and rebuilding after loss.

Tyrese reflects on growing up without a blueprint, navigating Hollywood without mentors like Denzel Washington or Will Smith as parents, and carrying the weight of being the first in his family to reach this level of success. He shares powerful insights on surviving abuse, forgiving parents, processing divorce, raising daughters, and learning how to love in healthy ways after dysfunction.

Bishop TD Jakes guides the conversation through faith, purpose, marriage, and emotional healing, drawing parallels to leaders and cultural figures like Oprah Winfrey, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry, Barack Obama, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Michael Jordan, Prince, Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, and more — exploring how success, visibility, and pressure affect the human spirit.

From conversations about survivor’s remorse and masculinity to mental health, relationships, and legacy, this episode speaks directly to anyone rebuilding their life, redefining success, or starting their next chapter.

This is more than an interview — it’s a masterclass in growth, accountability, and faith.

Mellody Hobson, one of the most influential business leaders in the world, sits down with Bishop T.D. Jakes for a powerful conversation about money, trauma, identity, leadership, and the calling behind her work. As the President and Co-CEO of Ariel Investments and Chair of Starbucks, Mellody has advised CEOs, shaped boardrooms, and partnered with cultural icons from Oprah Winfrey to her husband, filmmaker George Lucas.

In this intimate episode, Mellody opens up about growing up in poverty — living with clothes packed in garbage bags and moving constantly — and how those early struggles shaped her extraordinary rise. She reflects on how pain, when unwrapped, always brings a gift, and how tragedy creates the canvas for triumph. Her story is one of grit, faith, and relentless purpose.

Mellody and Bishop Jakes dive into generational wealth, financial literacy, and the emotional journeys behind money — discussing figures from Warren Buffett to Jamie Dimon and the leaders who shaped her worldview. She shares what she learned working alongside global icons like Oprah, appearing on Super Soul Sunday, being named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, and partnering with industry giants across finance and entertainment.

She also speaks candidly about motherhood, her daughter Everest, and the legacy she hopes to leave: peace, grounded identity, and a responsibility to make the world better. Her reflections on leadership, representation, corporate culture, and trusting oneself offer rare insight into what it means to rise to the highest levels of business without losing your humanity.

This conversation is emotional, honest, spiritually grounded, and filled with wisdom for anyone navigating purpose, money, trauma, or personal transformation.

In one of the most revealing conversations of The Next Chapter, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with multiplatinum rapper, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and cultural icon Jeezy for a raw, emotional, and unfiltered journey through pain, purpose, healing, and growth. From the streets of Georgia to international tours with Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West, Jeezy opens up like never before about the moments that shaped him — and the battles he had to survive to become the man he is today.

Jeezy shares intimate stories from childhood: living in Japan and Hawaii, adjusting to life in Georgia, and navigating trauma while trying to provide for his family at just 14 years old. He reflects on the loss of friends, witnessing violence firsthand, and learning to compartmentalize emotions just to stay alive. He reveals how international travel, sushi nights, and unexpected mentors helped plant the seeds of the businessman he would eventually become.

Bishop Jakes and Jeezy unpack mental health, leadership, introversion, and the pressure of being a public figure. They discuss his mother’s battle with dementia, caring for her through her final days, and carrying grief without guilt. He opens up about addiction in his family, his complicated relationship with his father, and the healing that came only when he learned to extend grace — both to them and to himself.

Jeezy also breaks down the business behind the music: financial literacy, losing millions, owning real estate, and the difference between depreciating assets like Lamborghinis and wealth-building assets that create generational freedom. Bishop Jakes shares wisdom about entrepreneurship, leadership, and the importance of having a team that challenges you, not just agrees with you.

From nearly losing his voice, to battling Bell’s palsy at the height of his career, to surviving the darkest moments of his life — Jeezy explains how pain became purpose, how faith carried him, and how he transformed from street legend to industry mogul. Along the way they touch on appearances from Barack Obama, the influence of Tupac Shakur, and lessons learned performing alongside the biggest artists in the world.

In this powerful father–daughter conversation, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with Sarah Jakes Roberts for an intimate and revealing episode. From growing up as a preacher’s daughter in West Virginia to becoming a global leader, bestselling author, and CEO of Woman Evolve, Sarah opens up about the chapters that shaped her life — the trauma, the pressure, the rebirth, and the evolution. Sarah reflects on her childhood inside a rapidly rising ministry, navigating expectations, identity, and the complexity of being “normal” while the world watched her family. She shares candid memories of sibling dynamics, responsibility at a young age, and the loss of innocence that came with her teen pregnancy — a moment she calls both her deepest embarrassment and her unexpected grounding force.

Together, they dive into the emotional weight of growing up under a spotlight, the challenges of purity culture, and the internal battle between shame, worthiness, and faith. Sarah reveals how she found her voice by telling her own story, why vulnerability became her shield, and how her honesty helped millions of women find their own healing. The episode also explores her first marriage, navigating a toxic relationship, divorce, and rebuilding her identity as a young mother. Sarah and her father discuss the generational differences in communication, the unspoken expectations placed on pastor’s kids, and the quiet pressure of being called to purpose before you feel ready. They unpack fame, influence, and the loss of “normalcy,” the balance between platform and private life, and the strength required to remain authentic in a world that constantly critiques. Sarah opens up about motherhood, leadership, protecting her humanity, and why she calls herself a “forever student” — learning, evolving, and growing in real time. This emotional and deeply insightful episode is a rare look into love, leadership, faith, and family — and how healing moves through generations when honesty and grace are allowed to take the lead.

Closing Thoughts and Call to Action

Two of the most influential voices of our generation come together for a conversation rooted in purpose, discipline, calling, and destiny. In this powerful episode, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits with Denzel Washington — Academy Award–winning actor, director, producer, and one of the most respected figures in Hollywood — for an intimate, spiritual, and deeply revealing dialogue about the journey that shaped him.

From his early childhood in Mount Vernon to becoming one of the most acclaimed actors of all time, Denzel shares how faith, obedience, and divine instruction guided every step of his path. He reflects on the prophetic words spoken over his life when he was a young man, the moments God redirected him, and the quiet convictions he followed long before fame and success arrived.

Bishop Jakes and Denzel explore the tension between ambition and surrender, ego and purpose, success and assignment. They unpack the power of spiritual grounding, the importance of aligning your gifts with God’s intention, and the discipline required to stay focused in a world full of distractions, temptations, and noise.Denzel opens up about the responsibility of platform, the weight of influence, and why he treats acting as a form of ministry — a way to serve, inspire, and reflect truth.

He discusses the roles that changed him, from Malcolm X to Training Day, Fences, Glory, The Equalizer, and The Great Debaters, and how collaboration with legends like Spike Lee, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, Chadwick Boseman, Jamie Foxx, Michael B. Jordan, and Oprah Winfrey helped shape his artistic evolution.

The two also address discipline, fatherhood, manhood, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, sharpen you, and keep you accountable. They speak on the dangers of isolation, the rise of digital dependency, and the urgent need to strengthen emotional and spiritual resilience in an era dominated by social media, AI, and cultural fragmentation.

Denzel reveals how he prays before every role, how he navigates spiritual warfare in Hollywood, and why he believes you must protect your anointing at all costs. He reflects on legacy, gratitude, marriage, loyalty, and the power of redefining success — not through fame or money, but through service, character, and obedience to God’s calling.

This episode is filled with wisdom, humor, reverence, and clarity — a masterclass on purpose, leadership, calling, and the courage to live a life anchored in faith. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, believer, leader, or someone searching for a deeper sense of direction, this conversation will uplift you, challenge you, and remind you that destiny requires discipline.

Featuring reflections on icons such as Will Smith, Tyler Perry, Samuel L. Jackson, Maya Angelou, Angela Bassett, Barack Obama, Don Cheadle, Regina King, Cicely Tyson, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and more — this dialogue bridges entertainment, faith, culture, and transformation.

This isn’t just an interview.

He reflects on legacy, gratitude, marriage, loyalty, and the power of redefining success &mdash; not through fame or money, but through service, character, and obedience to God&rsquo;s calling.
This episode is filled with wisdom, humor, reverence, and clarity &mdash; a masterclass on purpose, leadership, calling, and the courage to live a life anchored in faith. Whether you&rsquo;re an entrepreneur, creator, believer, leader, or someone searching for a deeper sense of direction, this conversation will uplift you, challenge you, and remind you that destiny requires discipline.
Featuring reflections on icons such as Will Smith, Tyler Perry, Samuel L. Jackson, Maya Angelou, Angela Bassett, Barack Obama, Don Cheadle, Regina King, Cicely Tyson, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and more &mdash; this dialogue bridges entertainment, faith, culture, and transformation.
This isn&rsquo;t just an interview. It&rsquo;s a spiritual experience.

Two of the most influential voices of our generation come together for a conversation rooted in purpose, discipline, calling, and destiny. In this powerful episode, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits with Denzel Washington — Academy Award–winning actor, director, producer, and one of the most respected figures in Hollywood — for an intimate, spiritual, and deeply revealing dialogue about the journey that shaped him.  From his early childhood in Mount Vernon to becoming one of the most acclaimed actors of all time, Denzel shares how faith, obedience, and divine instruction guided every step of his path. He reflects on the prophetic words spoken over his life when he was a young man, the moments God redirected him, and the quiet convictions he followed long before fame and success arrived.  Bishop Jakes and Denzel explore the tension between ambition and surrender, ego and purpose, success and assignment. They unpack the power of spiritual grounding, the importance of aligning your gifts with God’s intention, and the discipline required to stay focused in a world full of distractions, temptations, and noise.Denzel opens up about the responsibility of platform, the weight of influence, and why he treats acting as a form of ministry — a way to serve, inspire, and reflect truth.  He discusses the roles that changed him, from Malcolm X to Training Day, Fences, Glory, The Equalizer, and The Great Debaters, and how collaboration with legends like Spike Lee, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, Chadwick Boseman, Jamie Foxx, Michael B. Jordan, and Oprah Winfrey helped shape his artistic evolution.  The two also address discipline, fatherhood, manhood, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, sharpen you, and keep you accountable. They speak on the dangers of isolation, the rise of digital dependency, and the urgent need to strengthen emotional and spiritual resilience in an era dominated by social media, AI, and cultural fragmentation.  Denzel reveals how he prays before every role, how he navigates spiritual warfare in Hollywood, and why he believes you must protect your anointing at all costs.

Oprah Winfrey sits down with Bishop T.D. Jakes for a rare, unfiltered masterclass on calling, courage, ownership, and intention. From a Mississippi back porch with no electricity to building a global media empire, Oprah traces the moments that shaped her—how obedience to the call guided her decisions, why she negotiates for ownership (from 50% to 93% on The Oprah Winfrey Show), how she learned tosay “no” at the perfect time, and the intention framework that redefined her show and led to Emmys. They unpack the Color Purple contract lesson, the OWN pivot (turning a mistake into a miracle), money boundaries with family (“never give more than they’ve earned”), and how AI will transform medicine, education, entrepreneurship, and storytelling—plus the mental-health cost of always-on tech.

This inaugural Next Chapter episode is for founders, creators, pastors, leaders, and anyone writing a new season of life. You’ll hear the inside stories—Maya Angelou’s mentorship, Beloved in Philadelphia, the Ku Klux Klan interview that changed the show’s DNA, Gayle King’s “banana pudding” bribe, and how a childhood Easter speech became the blueprint for a lifetime of purposeful broadcasting. Oprah’s advice to her younger self, the “six trees → forest” revelation, and Bishop Jakes’ coaching on decision-making and imposter syndrome (“stay there”) will meet you where you are—spiritually and strategically.
