I am honored to welcome special guest Dr. Charles Wyatt Johnson (D.Th., Pastor, Advisor, Strategist & Thought Leader) for a powerful conversation exploring how the Church can embrace creativity, technology, and digital platforms to reach people with the timeless truth of the Gospel.

🐟 WHERE ARE THE FISH?

Using the fish as a metaphor for ministry, we will challenge traditional approaches to evangelism and ask: Are we willing to go where the people are, or are we expecting them to come to us? Together, we will explore what it means to fulfill the Great Commission in today's digital world.

📖 “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” — Mark 16:15

💡 WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE:

Discover how faith leaders, churches, and Christian creators can use digital tools to communicate biblical truth, build meaningful communities, and reach people who may never enter a traditional church.

We will discuss the difference between creating Christian content and making disciples, the importance of authentic connection, and how innovation can expand ministry without compromising the Gospel.

This conversation invites us to consider whether we are measuring ministry by numbers or transformed lives—and whether God is calling us to launch into unfamiliar waters.

📖 “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” — Luke 5:4

🔥 A PARADIGM SHIFT FOR MINISTRY

What if ministry is not simply about building bigger spaces, but building broader bridges? What if the mission field has changed, but the assignment has not?

Join us as we explore how creativity, faith, and digital innovation can help us reach people where they are.

Welcome, everyone, and thank you so much for joining us tonight for this powerful and important conversation!

I am Dr. Pamela Robinson, and I am honored to welcome my special guests, Dr. Michael Bart Mathews and Mr. Ray Scott, as we discuss: “Who Holds the Strong Black Man? Black Men, Grief & the Permission to Heal” Tonight, we are having an honest and meaningful conversation about Black men, grief, mental health, emotional resilience, and the permission to feel, process, and heal. To everyone joining us from Chicago and the Central Time Zone, thank you for being here with us at 6:00 PM Central Time. We are grateful that you have chosen to spend this time with us.

WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH This is more than a conversation about grief. It is an opportunity to better understand the emotional experiences of Black men and the expectations, pressures, losses, and responsibilities they often carry. As a Trauma-Informed Mental Health Therapist, Dr. Pamela Robinson specializes in blending evidence-informed secular and faith-based principles to support healing, hope, emotional wellness, and personal growth. Tonight's conversation creates space for both practical mental health insight and the role that faith, spirituality, community, and healthy relationships can play in the healing journey.

WHAT ARE THE TAKEAWAYS? Join us and walk away with greater insight into: Why many Black men have been conditioned to be strong while struggling to give themselves permission to grieve and heal How grief can impact emotional health, relationships, identity, faith, and daily life The importance of creating emotionally safe spaces where Black men can be honest about what they are carrying How women can better listen to, understand, encourage, and support the Black men in their lives Practical and faith-centered perspectives on healing, resilience, hope, and emotional wellness Why strength and vulnerability do not have to be opposites Ladies, I especially encourage you to join this conversation and engage with us. As women, we often love, support, work alongside, raise, and care deeply about Black men. This conversation gives us an opportunity to listen, learn, and better understand how we can support the emotional health and healing of the men in our lives. Whether you are a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, colleague, or someone who simply cares about the well-being of Black men, your voice and perspective are welcome here.
