The Brother Leon Show

All good things must come to an end. This last episode of The Brother Leon Show focuses on the importance of family.

In today's society there are many voices and opinions of what men are and what they should be. However a lot of people who make those statements and have those opinions aren't men, and some of those people didn't have the privilege of having an authoritative male presence growing up in the home. We have so many narratives that whatever side of arguments you side with in regards to manhood, there w...

Couples at one point ask the question, What Are We Doing? The question signifies that there is a need for clarity and direction. There isn't a relationship on the planet that exists between people that exempts them from work in that relationship and for that relationship. People try to cut corners by cheating only to realize that the work they are trying to avoid must be done at some point. Cheati...

Biblical reconciliation is a lie when used as a solution for the problem of racism in and outside the church. When you look at the definition of reconciliation, the question must be asked, When were white people ever friends with black people? The bible is pro slavery and christian's try to describe it as being a righteous social service. It was bloody then in the old testament and new. It was blo...

The new path for those who are looking to make sense of the Christian world and walk have come to see what has been familiar, no longer serves them. The new path for some is called a path of deconstruction. Deconstruction is a life and process of unlearning christian practices that have been questionable, but also doesn't serve the christian. LaShaon Brooks is a former pastor, currently an entrepr...

African spirituality is apart of us as a nation of black people and people of color. However why is there so much misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding the practices? We have Kharla Jean of Wayom Tribe to answer the questions about African spirituality, and in particular the practice of Vodou. Our history isn't just the Christian traditions only. We need to look at our history as a whole...

As we begin our new season we look at Christianity close up. Is it a system of indoctrinated fear put upon people? Or is it the thing that will free a person in every aspect of their lives? In my search I look at God and Satan as forms of energy. So as a human being you are created to be a vessel that will house and express the God energy or the Satanic energy. Our bodies are referenced as temples...

We have to be careful as content creators and especially women who promote the upliftment of black men. Social media seems to be okay with the narrative of toxic black masculinity, the effeminatization, and emasculation of black men and boys. The men and women who fight against the narratives, the tropes, stereotypes, and labels are under attack and their voices being diminished or canceled. There...

Sometimes you have to declare, I'm over it now.

To wrap up this season Brother Leon is candid about his personal struggle overcoming the stigma of divorce and healing from it. No matter what you can heal from breakups and divorce.

Turning 52 is a milestone for me.

Have you ever asked yourself, Why do I need a heavy hand in my church life? Some of us say that we need hard preaching to make us do what's right when it comes to the things of God. Too many times we have unresolved issues of abandonment and fear that make us run into toxic relationships with people and even churches. We accept the verbal, emotional, financial, and even physical abuse as the norm....

Too many times we allow negative people to live in our heads for too long. These people add nothing to your life and they curse your actions and potential for greatness. This is a form of witchcraft. The bible says, suffer not a witch to live. So kick these people working manipultion and abuse out of your head. Cut them off and don't give them access to your life and resources.

We have come to the end of our 14 Days of Love series! In our final message we talk about love being divine. If God is love, and love is God. The divine nature of God is in you, if you choose to let it manifest? God is known as I am and we are made in HIS image. Declare I am! Declare I am Love, I am loveable, I am loving. It will begin to ignite the manifestation from within. It will also burn awa...

Love is not enough for a relationship with self and others. Ingredients are needed to make love sustainable, resilient, desirable, and beautiful.

Love is not abusive, but people can be. Love yourself enough to walk away from people and relationships that are abusive. Especially if that person doesn't want to hear you or even change how they interact with you.

You have to communicate love! To get the type of love you desire you must communicate it. The first communication is within you, and the second communication is how you explain it to those you deem worthy and desire. You just can't assume a person will love you the way you want to be loved if they are experiencing you for the first time. Too many times we believe that we can have the type of love...

A lot of times we have a gut feeling about things and even people. Don't ignore your gut feeling or even red flags when they appear. A red flag is an issue that needs to be addressed. If that red flag can't be changed or even discussed then you may want to consider moving on. When we ignore the telltale signs we end up blaming ourselves, because we knew it, but ignored what was in front of us the...

Love Yourself enough in this 14 Days of Love to give yourself closure from negative people and situations that left you broken. Going back seeking closure from negative and abusive people is like asking to be abused one last time for old time's sake. Learn in your life's journey to know you don't need closure, affirmation, or permission from people in your past to move forward. Go on with your lif...

Let God be the healing factor in a person's life. If you love a person, or even when it comes to yourself allow space for healing to take place. No external means can heal internal and emotional trauma, especially if it's connected to a problematic past. Only the eternal God can heal the internal issues of a person's life. You are not the healer. If you could, would you want that responsibility to...

Say Yes! Day 7 of our 14 Days of Love! You mustn't be afraid of saying, Yes to those things that will add to your life. Say Yes to self love, and those things and people that multiple the good in your life. Learn to say, No to those things and people that subtract and bring divisions into your life. Get the math!

Sometimes the greatest love you can give yourself is telling other people, No. Say? No to negative situations and people who do you no good. Love yourself enough to say, No and divorce yourself from people who have been no good to you and for you.

Day 5 of 14 Days of Love! We need to believe if love is going to work for us. Can you and are you willing to believe in love?

Day 4 of 14 Days of Love! We have to have faith in order for love to work. You need faith to have a mature love that will handle the doubts and beliefs when it comes to loving another person. You need faith to know that you are healed, whole, and restored. Faith to love again and to be loved by the right person is the gift you need to give yourself first.

Day 3 of our 14 days of Love! Today is the day of seeing love and having patience with yourself and others while going through the process of healing, self care, and self love. Be patient with yourself while love is at work.
