The episode opens warmly as host Day Gardner welcomes viewers to a heartfelt edition of The Vision, joined by co-hosts Ginger Howard, Dr. Alveda King, and Destiny Yarbrough. Their guest is Pastor Jearlyn Dennie, affectionately called Pastor J, introduced by Dr. King as a dynamic pastor, activist, wife, and mother whose ministry extends through service and empathy. The discussion centers on the seldom-addressed topic of grief, especially among leaders who are expected to stay strong even while suffering. Pastor J explains that many pastors must “lead while bleeding,” continuing to comfort others while quietly enduring their own heartbreak. She recounts her most personal trial—the loss of her twenty-year-old daughter—speaking with emotional honesty yet unwavering faith. Though she prefers the word transitioned to died, she finds comfort in knowing her daughter accepted Christ. The best gift she gave her daughter, she says, was introducing her to Jesus; the best gift her daughter gave in return was accepting Him. Recalling her daughter’s final words—“Mom, I’ve known Jesus all my life. How do people live without Him?”—Pastor J illustrates faith as the anchor that sustains her through pain.
She describes how the Holy Spirit became her “comforter” in those early days of grief. The day after her daughter’s passing, she still led her prayer call, deciding simply to pray instead of taking requests. Like a veteran relying on “muscle memory,” she drew upon faith memory—automatic trust in God born of years of prayer. When the news came, her immediate reaction was to pray; she called upon God, then her husband, then a friend from Rotary who owned a funeral home, telling her simply, “Go get my baby.” She shares how even as a pastor she felt crushed by sorrow until she recognized the destructive power of words. Hearing repeated condolences—“I’m sorry”—magnified her pain, so she began instructing friends to say only, “I love you” or “I’m praying for you.” That shift helped her reclaim emotional stability through affirming words rather than sorrowful ones.
Pastor J also reflects on her past abortions and the deep healing required to confront them. As a teen she once faced a decision between buying shoes and having an abortion—a stark picture of misplaced priorities in youth. Though she chose life for that child, she later endured abortions whose grief she had long suppressed until her daughter’s death brought it all to the surface. She realized she had never forgiven herself even though she knew God had forgiven her. Comparing the process to scrubbing a rug where stains reappear, she explains that healing means allowing God to expose hidden pain so it can be cleansed. Her message to young women is direct and compassionate: life in the womb is sacred, not “a lump of clay,” and those who ignore that truth will one day face its spiritual consequences. Yet she emphasizes that grace and forgiveness are available for everyone willing to surrender their past to Christ.
The conversation deepens as she describes how each of her seven children coped differently with their sister’s death. She refused to let tragedy define time, saying she does not “mark life by death.” Her husband, St. Clair Dennie, is portrayed tenderly as a man of quiet strength who would rock her to sleep as she wept, sometimes wordlessly, sometimes reminding her, “She knew you loved her.” Their faith preserved their marriage where many couples falter after losing a child. Pastor J laughs through tears describing him as “all that, a bag of chips, a Nehi soda, and a chocolate-chip cookie."
A highlight reel follows, showcasing Pastor J’s accomplishments: 2024 Inspirational Woman of the Year, producer of the Telly-Award-winning Miracle of Christmas, radio host of Today with Pastor J, and founder of She Leads Florida, a faith-based women’s leadership network affiliated with She Leads America. Discussing this movement, she explains that membership cannot be bought...

The episode opens with host Destiny Yarbrough and co-hosts Ginger Howard, Day Gardner, Katie Holmes, and Dr. Alveda King reflecting on the meaning of faith.  Each shares how faith anchors their daily lives—contrasting it with fear, quoting Hebrews 11:1 on “the substance of things hoped for,” and describing faith as the sustaining force that shapes gratitude, perseverance, and trust in God through all circumstances.  They emphasize passing this faith to younger generations so that their children, like the hosts once were, grow up grounded in spiritual conviction.  Dr. King notes that while love is the greatest virtue, faith and hope accompany it, setting the stage for the day’s guest: Apostle Leon Benjamin, whose ministry exemplifies faith in action.
Apostle Benjamin introduces himself as a Navy combat veteran, husband of 34 years, and longtime pastor with churches in Richmond, Virginia, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  He recounts running for Congress in 2020 and 2022 and remaining active in community and national prayer efforts.  Ginger Howard asks about his morning prayer call, which began in 2016 as a 30-day initiative before a presidential inauguration and evolved into a permanent weekday call at 8 a.m., uniting believers nationwide.  He explains that this intercessory network originally featured well-known pastors such as Paula White, Franklin Graham, Jentezen Franklin, and Bishop Harry Jackson.  What began as “news updates” has transformed into “prayer updates,” where participants testify about answered prayers instead of repeating discouraging headlines.  Benjamin stresses that believers must interpret current events through Scripture, not fear, and apply biblical truth to modern challenges—trusting God to shift national atmospheres and spark revival.
When the conversation turns to the future, Benjamin envisions a church entering deeper spiritual warfare.  Drawing from Revelation 12, he describes a new generation of “SWAT” believers learning to battle principalities through both prayer and the authority of Christ (exousia).  The modern church, he warns, still functions on an elementary level, often misidentifying fellow Christians as enemies rather than confronting demonic influences.  He parallels spiritual discipline with military readiness, explaining that true victory requires engagement in unseen realms, not merely discussion of them.  Asked about spiritual armor, Benjamin likens it to the equipment of a soldier: the helmet guarding thoughts, the breastplate of righteousness protecting the heart, the belt of truth fortifying integrity, the shoes of peace promoting reconciliation rather than conflict, the shield of faith for defense, and the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.  He cautions that ministers fall when they neglect righteousness, succumb to pride, money, or sexual temptation, or stop reading Scripture.  Authentic armor, he says, begins with personal deliverance—believers must cleanse themselves before ministering to others.
A musical interlude follows with the song “If I Could” underscoring the theme that human strength is limited but Christ’s power is limitless.  Returning from the song, the hosts discuss the lack of deliverance ministry in many modern churches.  Benjamin agrees, teaching that salvation (soteriology) involves ongoing deliverance—not only forgiveness of sin but liberation from attachments and spiritual strongholds.  He describes how demonic influence exploits emotional wounds and memories, creating thought patterns that only the truth of God can break.  Deliverance, he emphasizes, sometimes requires spiritual discernment rather than medical or psychological intervention.
When asked about the shofar, Benjamin provides a vivid lesson: the ram’s horn symbolizes both sacrifice and purification.  He explains that crafting a shofar requires gutting out filth, boiling, and fire—paralleling the believer’s refining process through heat, cleansing, and surrender.  The final act,...

The episode of The Vision TV Show, hosted by Day Gardner, Pastor Tracey Armstrong, and Destiny Yarbrough, briefly acknowledges absent co-hosts Dr. Alveda King, Katie Holmes, and Ginger Howard, before transitioning to updates on their kingdom work. Destiny shares excitement for the September SHIFT:LA media gathering and premiere of The Last Evangelist, with tour stops in Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta. Pastor Tracey discusses his monthly Hollywood "master sessions" for secular industry professionals, where God's power manifests, supporting Destiny Channel's growth. Day touches on her DC-area hospitality, hosting prayer gatherings with family, including grandsons Leander and Orion, and celebrating Tracey's children's milestones, like daughter Sophia's recent 19th birthday. The hosts emphasize rejoicing daily in God's made day and pursuing fruitful callings, including Destiny's planned churches in D.C. and L.A.

A stirring clip of Dr. Alveda King's "Pray for America" plays, an anthem invoking 2 Chronicles 7:14 for national healing through humility, prayer, and repentance. Lyrics plead for mind renewal over world-changing, standing for life—especially unborn children—and interceding for people, peace, love, and unity amid trials, with choruses urging lifted hands for America's families and land.

The spotlight shifts to guest Peggy Nienaber, state leader for She Leads America (with Day and Destiny involved via She Leads Georgia under Alveda and Ginger), a movement empowering women in faith, leadership, and advocacy. Peggy details its open-door policy for church involvement: contacting the office for youth groups, pastors' conferences, Bible marathons (public Scripture readings), nativity volunteers (featuring a live baby annually), and D.C. tours with prayers and introductions to new Congress members or chaplains. She highlights "coffee dates" for praying with staffers, offering to connect groups with representatives for targeted intercession, fostering bridges between local and national efforts. Pastor Tracey expresses eagerness for his Washington state prayer team to volunteer, praising Peggy's relational approach. Day inquires how churches can support, and Peggy emphasizes practical ways to engage, from event volunteering to policy advocacy, underscoring women's vital role in standing for life, families, and beliefs at the cross.

At Day's invitation, Peggy leads a profound closing prayer, thanking Jesus for unshaken faith growth and daily mercies. Referencing the angel at the empty tomb, she affirms women's bold stand for life and convictions, praying for discernment, protection, and proclamation among the hosts and viewers. Peggy intercedes for D.C.'s Congress, administration, young adults, and interns as the next generation to declare Christ; for peace, kindness, compassion, and love; comfort for Texas flood victims drawing nearer to God; and safety, encouragement, and heart-filling presence for all. The episode ends with a call to courage, persistent prayer for America, and trust in God's national plan, reiterating that He has a vision for every life, far beyond the world's view.

This episode of The Vision, hosted by Pastor Tracey Armstrong (guest host), Destiny Yarbrough, and Day Gardner, opens with warm greetings and acknowledgments of absent co-hosts Dr. Alveda King, Ginger Howard, and Katie Holmes, who send their love while engaged in kingdom work. The hosts share excitement about their respective books: Day discusses her 5-year-old work If Not For Grace, loosely based on her grandmother's life, revealing family secrets and skeletons uncovered after her passing; Destiny previews her upcoming Media for Kingdom Purpose, emphasizing mentorship, alignments, assignments, and her journey from a nervous TV guest at WATC to a confident host, highlighting obedience to God's call; Pastor Tracey talks about his latest project Kingdompreneurs, a step-by-step guide for Christians launching or scaling businesses online, applying biblical principles from Jesus and His disciples to give permission for wealth creation without fear of divine displeasure. They note the prevalence of online entrepreneurship and the importance of doing it biblically, encouraging viewers to pursue God-ordained marketplace ventures.

A motivational video clip rolls in, urging activation of prophetic destiny for marketplace impact, addressing business decisions, leadership conflicts, and scaling through God's direction, with a call to embrace one's calling now for greater influence. The hosts introduce guest Lindy-Ann Hopley, a writer, media expert, evangelist, and prophetic voice to the nations, who shares her powerful testimony of backsliding as a worship leader, struggling with hypocrisy and rejection, culminating in a face-to-face encounter with Jesus. In her room, He appeared in a white robe, offering a ring and proposing marriage with eyes full of love, not shame, delivering her from deep-seated issues and affirming His pursuit, akin to seeking Adam and Eve in the Garden. Hopley stresses that shame drives hiding, but God's kindness invites return, transforming lives through His unconditional acceptance.

Hopley promotes her book Beautiful Witness, available at beautifulwitness.com/book, which encourages sharing personal stories as testimonies of freedom, noting that revival—rooted in resurrection—is available for marriages, families, health, and more, as all creation awaits believers' manifestation. She delivers a prophetic word for the hour: a "turnaround" in America, where what seemed like political or satanic takeovers will spark revival, uncapping the Church from religious smiles without supernatural power. Having traveled to 34 countries, she foresees an eruption of signs, wonders, and kingdom manifestations, including an LGBTQ revival, with unlikely sources overthrowing principalities like Jezebel's downfall by eunuchs. Hopley blesses viewers, affirming God as the answer and open door, urging pursuit of His vision.

A clip of Dr. Alveda King singing "People Need the Lord" reinforces the episode's evangelistic theme, emphasizing humanity's emptiness without God and the Church's role in sharing salvation. The hosts praise Hopley's joy amid trials, affirming Jesus as the only way out of messes, and close by reiterating the show's mantra: the world has a view, but God has the vision, encouraging viewers to seek His guidance and get Hopley's book.

The episode of The Vision, hosted by Destiny Yarbrough, Dr. Day Gardner, and Pastor Tracey Armstrong, begins with an enthusiastic welcome, noting the absence of Dr. Alveda King, Katie Holmes, and Ginger Howard. The hosts share heartfelt gratitude for handmade cards from children featured in their Christmas special, with messages from Elizabeth (thanking for soccer balls), Silas (requesting a return invite), Melanie, and Bryce, showcasing their artwork and effort. Destiny and Day express love for the children, promising another spectacular Christmas special if God wills, reinforcing the show’s mission: the world has a view, but God has the vision. 

The episode introduces guests Sandra Onal and Sherry Tatum, co-hosts of Friends & Neighbors that also airs on WATC TV 57 in Atlanta, praised as women of God with hearts for the Lord, who engage in hosting, music, and writing. Sherry, with 27 years of hosting experience, and Sandra, with 10, thank the hosts for their warm welcome and beautiful set. Sandra shares a message on willingness, inspired by Jesus’ choice to come to Earth, offering eternal life through His sacrifice. She encourages viewers to embrace God’s calling by breaking chains of anxiety, inadequacy, or depression, positioning themselves for divine glory. Obedience, she explains, polishes believers through trials, enabling them to shine brighter. Day connects this to new Christians’ challenges in releasing familiar habits, likening it to God’s pruning for growth, as per John 15’s vine analogy.

The discussion emphasizes obedience with critical thinking, illustrated by a child refusing to draw a witch in art class, standing firm in faith. Sherry underscores rewarding such obedience, citing Philippians 4:6-7, which instructs replacing worry with prayer and thanksgiving, leading to peace. Pastor Tracey delivers a prophetic word, seeing scrolls unraveling over the guests’ heads, signaling new seasons of writing. For Sherry, she envisions princess-themed songs for young girls, offering godly alternatives to Disney’s influence, and for Sandra, scripts locked in her heart, ready to unfold. Both guests receive this prophecy with gratitude, affirming better days ahead.

Destiny prompts the story of how Sherry and Sandra became co-hosts. Sherry recounts producer Greg proposing co-hosts, and she chose Sandra for her genuine spirit and love for the Lord, a choice Greg confirmed. Sandra notes speaking at Christian Women in Media early in Destiny’s leadership, cementing their connection. Sherry shares a testimony: after 24-25 years in ministry, feeling she had said all she could, God directed her to Exodus 4:10-12, where He declares He made man’s mouth and will provide words. This renewed her confidence, and she encourages viewers to pray for God’s guidance in speaking and living His vision. The hosts affirm God’s desire to fill lives with His words, as seen in Sherry and Sandra’s writing and ministry, urging viewers to seek His purpose.

The episode closes with a blessing, reiterating that God has the vision for every life, encouraging prayer to discover and fulfill it. The hosts’ warmth, the guests’ insights, and the prophetic encouragement create an uplifting call to align with God’s plan, distinct from worldly views.

From Executive Producers/Hosts: Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough and Day Gardner

The episode of The Vision TV Show, hosted by Destiny Yarbrough, Day Gardner, and co-host Pastor Tracey Armstrong (with absent hosts Dr. Alveda King in DC, Katie Holmes at a beauty pageant, and Ginger Howard traveling in Europe), begins with warm greetings and updates. The hosts celebrate winning Best TV Show at the 2025 International Christian Film & Music Festival (ICFF), giving glory to God. Day shares her summer joys: family time, health, building a she-shed (a personal sanctuary with amenities like a fireplace), and gardening, which draws her closer to God. Destiny Yarbrough discusses her bittersweet empty-nester phase as her son moves out today, finding solace in work and prayer, while reflecting on successfully raising him to independence. Pastor Armstrong updates on post-NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) progress, including developing the Destiny Channel, helping content creators from the convention's pitch-a-thon bring projects to life, and family well-being amid kingdom-building efforts.

A video clip on reformers inspires, with prophetic words about God building His church, planting believers strategically, and ushering in harvest time through firebrands, evangelists, missionaries, and media influencers. Destiny recounts her recent delegate trip to Israel, meeting families affected by the October 7, 2023, attacks—those who lost loved ones and those with hostages still held—urging viewers not to fear visiting, as the nation needs prayers, support, and tourism amid economic hardships like empty airports and sold Ubers. She emphasizes standing with Israel, highlighting the resilience of places like Kibbutz Be'eri and the Nova Festival site, now memorialized, and calls for ongoing intercession against antisemitism and for hostage release.

Guest Pastor Brandy Gibson, a multifaceted leader—pastor of World of Life International Ministries (with branches in Atlanta, Birmingham, and Tanzania), author of The Authority of the Believer, filmmaker, and marketplace minister—joins to share her journey. Starting ministry at 19 after a divine encounter, she has traveled to over 20 nations, founded a Bible college in Tanzania, and authored books like The Authority of the Believer and The Real You, focusing on spiritual authority and identity in Christ. Her film work began with historical documentaries on Detroit's Black Bottom and Harmony Village, evolving into collaboration with her husband's Dunamis Films TV. Brandy stresses walking worthy of one's vocation (Ephesians 4:1), prioritizing the spiritual over the physical as in Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:7, and following the Holy Spirit amid rebuttals.

The conversation shifts to women's empowerment through She Leads America, which all three women (excluding Pastor Tracey) are part of, describing it as a unifying movement equipping influencers without ego or division. A clip from the She Shines Retreat features worship songs like "My Life Is in Your Hands" and "Jireh," evoking themes of surrender, provision, and identity in God's love. Brandy highlights women's role as household influencers and hearts, akin to the neck turning the head, and praises the group's supportive prayer dynamic and organic expansion, like a recent tea in Birmingham opening doors to Honduras. They note interconnectedness with Christian Women in Media and Destiny Channel, fostering kingdom unity.

Brandy addresses bridging sacred and secular, rejecting church confinement and advocating marketplace ministry like Paul's outreach to Gentiles, despite resistance from figures like Peter. She encourages spirit-led boldness, manifesting faith without status quo limitations. The episode closes affirming God's vision over worldly views, urging viewers to seek and follow it through prayer.

A message from Executive Producers Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough and Day...

In this inspiring episode of The Vision, host Katie Holmes and co-hosts Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, and Day Gardner welcome Dorothy Spaulding, founder of WBPI TV and author of "We Walk By Faith Not By Sight". The conversation centers on Dorothy’s extraordinary faith journey and the miraculous ways God has guided her through life, especially in founding a Christian TV station with less than $100.

Dorothy shares that her journey began with a call from God to “walk the cross” — literally traveling with a wooden cross across the country, relying solely on faith for food, shelter, and direction. For eight years, she and her husband walked without money, credit cards, or a bank account. Her transition from a life of worldly success to one rooted in spiritual purpose came after personal loss and a 40-day fast, during which she heard God’s directive to begin a new mission. Though she had no formal resources, God provided through people and circumstances — from engineers at major networks donating old equipment to strangers offering meals and shelter.

Through this walk of faith, Dorothy learned to trust God’s provision completely. She describes countless miraculous encounters, including stories of people who were healed, saved, or redirected from suicide through simple interactions with her cross-bearing ministry. One example involves a man who had planned to kill himself and his family but changed course after encountering Dorothy and her husband. Another tells of a girl who came to Christ and immediately began evangelizing her peers. These moments, she emphasizes, are the fruit of radical obedience to God's call.

The discussion also touches on Dorothy’s early life — once a businesswoman who turned away from her Christian roots before rediscovering her faith following a painful divorce. Her transformation from a worldly life to full-time ministry underscores her central message: walking by faith means stepping into the unknown and trusting God to supply every need.

Dorothy recounts a range of powerful testimonies from her travels. She tells of a young man with burn scars inflicted by his deacon father, who finally understood God’s love after a compassionate hug. In another instance, a pastor—on the verge of quitting ministry—rededicated his life after being moved by Dorothy’s story. These deeply emotional accounts highlight the brokenness people carry and how small gestures of love and truth can break through pain and despair.

The conversation also includes touching anecdotes about divine provision — such as a man who unknowingly purchased a pair of shoes six months before he met Dorothy’s husband, whose own shoes had just worn out. These acts of provision reinforced Dorothy’s trust in God and inspired viewers to believe in His faithfulness.

Throughout the episode, the hosts underscore the impact of simple obedience and the spiritual transformation that follows. They reflect on the scriptural truth that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,” and encourage viewers to take steps of faith in their own lives.

Dorothy concludes with a heartfelt call to salvation, inviting those watching to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She explains the simplicity of salvation as outlined in Romans — confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart. The episode ends with a powerful prayer for salvation and an invitation to join the family of God, emphasizing that no matter one’s past, Jesus offers healing, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

Ultimately, this episode of The Vision serves as a testimony to the power of faith, love, and obedience. Dorothy Spaulding’s story is a profound reminder that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things when they fully surrender to His will. Through her life and ministry, she exemplifies the call to “go tell” — sharing the good news of Jesus Christ wherever one...

In this uplifting episode of The Vision, hosts Destiny Yarbrough, Dr. Alveda King, Day Gardner, and Katie Holmes welcome prophetic minister and pastor LeaAnn Pendergrass. Known for her bold, Spirit-led evangelism and spontaneous outreach—even in places like grocery stores and gas stations—LeaAnn shares her powerful testimony and delivers a timely prophetic word of encouragement. The discussion explores her early life, ministry journey, and the vital role of unity and collaboration among women in ministry.

LeaAnn begins by recounting her spiritual awakening. Though she was first saved at age 11 in a Methodist church, it wasn’t until decades later that she experienced a deeper transformation. During a women's retreat in Alabama, she encountered the Holy Spirit while reading the Bible late one night. Drawn by a supernatural hunger, she opened her Bible to John 15:18-19, where Jesus says, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first... I have chosen you out of the world.” In that moment, she not only heard God’s voice but began to pray in a heavenly language, signaling a life-altering infilling of the Holy Spirit. That divine encounter launched her into a consecrated life of full-time ministry.

At the time, LeaAnn owned a music store that sold secular music. After her encounter with God, she returned home, rededicated the business to Jesus, and experienced a wave of divine favor. Her products began to sell out, and customers seemed spiritually drawn to the store. Despite the success, God soon asked her to give it all up and follow Him fully. Obedient to that calling, LeaAnn transitioned into ministry, including a long-term commitment in West Virginia, followed by work in California where she helped establish a church in Hollywood and led street outreach efforts.

LeaAnn shares how the process of being set apart involved spiritual refinement rather than outward appearances. She challenges common misconceptions that associate holiness with external presentation, emphasizing that true consecration happens within the heart. Despite her outward transformation—trading long dresses and head coverings for a more modern style—her inner calling remained firmly rooted in God. She relates her journey to biblical figures like Joseph, who endured trials to be prepared for future leadership and service.

A significant aspect of LeaAnn’s ministry is her prophetic calling. She explains that she began receiving words of knowledge and prophetic insight during worship and prayer, often sensing things before they happened. Mentored early on by seasoned prophetesses, she grew in her ability to share messages of encouragement and edification. She reminds viewers that prophecy is a process—it must be tested, and it often unfolds over time. Citing 2 Corinthians 1:20, she affirms that this is a season for fulfillment and restoration.

Throughout the episode, LeaAnn emphasizes the importance of spiritual boldness and taking initiative to minister in public settings. She recounts a drive-through prayer outreach where she prayed for carloads of people, often moved to tears by the presence of God. Though not everyone responded, she highlights that love never fails and that God uses willing vessels in unexpected places. For those who fear sharing their faith, LeaAnn encourages asking the Lord for holy boldness and trusting Him to open hearts.

The conversation transitions into the significance of collaboration, especially among women leaders. The hosts and LeaAnn affirm the strength of unified, Spirit-led partnerships that value diversity in personality and gifting. They highlight how each person’s unique anointing is essential to the greater mission, likening their collective work to a bouquet of flowers—distinct yet harmonious. Their shared vision is to uplift, serve, and lead as forerunners in ministry, without competition or comparison.

LeaAnn closes the episode...

In this inspiring episode of The Vision, host Destiny Yarbrough and her co-hosts—Dr. Alveda King, Ginger Howard, Day Gardner, and Katie Holmes—welcome special guest Kathleen Cooke, co-founder of Cooke Media Group and founder of Influence Women. The episode centers around the importance of Christian influence in media, the power of storytelling, and maintaining a strong biblical foundation in a media-saturated world. Kathleen shares her journey from childhood creativity, encouraged by her parents, to becoming a SAG actress and respected media executive with global impact through faith-based programming and storytelling.

Kathleen discusses her foundational belief that Christians, especially women, need to engage deeply with God’s Word to remain spiritually grounded amid the distractions of digital culture. Referencing her devotional book Hope 4 Today, she emphasizes that reading the Bible at least four days a week can have a transformative effect. She warns of the spiritual pitfalls in Hollywood and urges women aspiring to media careers to be rooted in a biblical worldview. This foundation, she says, helps creatives resist compromising their values, particularly when pressured by an industry that often demands moral concessions.

The show features a moving video about Influence Women, Kathleen's organization dedicated to empowering Christian women in media. With chapters across the U.S., it provides education, encouragement, and connection through podcasts, webinars, journals, and mentorship. She notes the urgency of producing excellent, values-based content as today’s audiences are flooded with media, often without discernment or depth. For aspiring creatives, Kathleen stresses the need for training—both in technical skills and storytelling—and recommends using discernment in choosing mentors and programs that align with Christian values.

The conversation also touches on Kathleen’s recent work, including a documentary for the Museum of the Bible, and her experiences in the entertainment industry. She highlights the importance of standing firm in personal convictions—refusing roles or projects that conflict with her faith—and encourages others to do the same. The co-hosts affirm that Christians have the right to express their beliefs just as others in the industry do, advocating for respect and representation of biblical values in media.

In a powerful moment, Kathleen and the hosts reflect on the influence of media on today’s youth and the rise of AI. They underscore the need for Christians to occupy digital spaces with truth and righteousness, producing content that points people to Christ. The segment closes with a heartfelt prayer for spiritual discernment, media impact, and protection over children and families, reinforcing the theme that media can be a tool for God’s glory when wielded by those committed to His truth.
Overall, the episode is a call to action for Christian creatives to remain spiritually anchored, pursue excellence in their craft, and use their talents to influence culture for the Kingdom of God.

The episode of The Vision featuring Bevelyn Williams offers a deeply personal and emotional exploration of faith, activism, and resilience. Hosted by Day Gardner, Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, and Katie Holmes, the conversation centers on Bevelyn’s bold pro-life advocacy and the personal sacrifices she has endured in her mission.

Bevelyn Williams shares her spiritual journey, revealing that she had undergone three abortions before becoming a Christian. Her transformation led her into street ministry, eventually transitioning her focus toward pro-life activism around 2015, especially after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo legalized abortion up to nine months of pregnancy. That moment spurred Bevelyn to become a vocal opponent of abortion, particularly emphasizing the disproportionate number of abortions in the Black community. She recalls her participation in a significant event in Alabama that memorialized 22 million Black babies lost to abortion, which served as a turning point for her ministry.

Bevelyn recounts her involvement in the “Jesus Matters” rally in 2020, an event she organized peacefully and lawfully. Although no arrests or citations occurred at the time, she was shocked to learn two years later—in December 2022—that she had been indicted. The indictment was based on an older civil suit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which had been repurposed into criminal charges. Allegations that Bevelyn injured someone during the event were questioned, especially as the supposed victim sought medical care days later. Bevelyn belie
ves her indictment was politically motivated and intended to silence pro-life activists like herself.
While in prison, Bevelyn says she experienced a profound spiritual awakening and refinement. She was housed at the same facility as Alice Marie Johnson, who became a symbol of redemption after her own release. Bevelyn found prison to be a harsh but clarifying environment—one that magnified personal traits and forced inmates to define themselves with authenticity. Through her consistent integrity, joy, and faith, she gained the respect of fellow inmates and was able to minister to them in tangible ways. Her prison experience was transformational; it not only revealed her inner strength but also affirmed her calling. Even now, she continues to mentor and pray for women still behind bars.

A poignant aspect of Bevelyn’s story is the emotional toll her incarceration took on her as a mother. Separated from her young daughter Eleanor, whom she had never spent a day apart from before, Bevelyn struggled deeply. She prayed for divine protection over Eleanor, trusting God to shield her daughter from the full emotional impact of her absence. Her faith was strengthened by the reassurance that Eleanor was cared for and thriving, even beginning to flourish more once Bevelyn returned home.

Bevelyn also praises her husband for his unwavering support throughout her ordeal. She calls him a “king,” chosen not by her, but by God. His loyalty and emotional strength, especially during her incarceration, played a vital role in her endurance. Their relationship, grounded in faith and mutual respect, provided a strong foundation during a turbulent time.

The episode ends with Bevelyn’s heartfelt plea to the audience: to serve Jesus wholeheartedly. She emphasizes that purpose, peace, and true fulfillment come only through a relationship with Christ. Her closing prayer calls for viewers to not only accept Christianity in name but to embrace the person and purpose of Christ fully, trusting God’s vision for their lives.

Overall, Bevelyn Williams’ story is one of courage, transformation, and unwavering faith in the face of adversity. Her testimony challenges cultural norms, exposes perceived injustices within the legal system, and invites others to find healing and purpose through a relationship with Jesus.

In this enlightening episode of The Vision TV Show, hosts Destiny Yarbrough, Dr. Alveda King, Dr. Day Gardner, and Katie Holmes welcome Jon and Jolene Hamill—authors, prophetic leaders, and founders of Lamplighter Ministries. The episode focuses on understanding the “end times” from both a biblical and spiritual perspective, exploring how global and national events may align with prophetic scripture. The Hamills share insights from their book, "End Times in Real Time", which aims to equip believers with discernment and spiritual preparation for the days ahead.

Jon and Jolene describe their ministry work in Washington, D.C., where they regularly pray with and minister to government leaders. Their message emphasizes that many in leadership positions are increasingly convinced that we are living in biblically significant times—not merely due to theological teaching, but because of real-world crises of biblical proportions. Jolene recounts a vision she had while in Israel, seeing a prophetic clock over Tel Megiddo (Armageddon) showing “10 minutes to midnight.” This vision, received in December 2022, preceded the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel by nearly ten months, reinforcing their belief that God provides real-time revelation.

A major theme discussed is the importance of aligning with God's timing—what the Hamills call “God’s holy clock.” The couple encourages believers not to fear end-times prophecy but to seek divine understanding, live boldly in their faith, and remain spiritually alert. They introduce the concept of “Turnaround Tuesday,” a prayer movement birthed from their personal journey to see prodigal sons and daughters return to faith. After a year of prayer beginning on Christmas 2014, their own son experienced a powerful encounter with Jesus on Christmas Day 2015, which became a turning point in his spiritual life.

The conversation also addresses the fear and confusion many believers associate with Revelation. Jolene shares how she had to unlearn fearful, inaccurate teachings about the end times in order to walk confidently in her prophetic calling. She encourages others to do the same—to let go of fear and embrace understanding and courage. The guests highlight the cyclical nature of biblical prophecy and emphasize the importance of recognizing and breaking destructive cycles while stewarding the opportunity for spiritual elevation.

AI, global instability, spiritual deception, and revival are also discussed in light of prophecy. The hosts and guests agree that while technological and societal changes may seem alarming, the foundation of God’s word remains unshakable. Katie Holmes shares her approach as a parent, reminding her teenage daughter to filter all things through scripture, because “everything else is just noise.” The Hamills affirm that the battle for truth and identity is at the heart of the current spiritual climate, and the body of Christ must prepare through wisdom, prayer, and obedience.

The show closes with powerful prayers by Jon and Jolene, asking for wisdom, a spirit of understanding, and courage to fulfill one’s calling during these significant times. A prophetic word is released regarding the 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration, which they believe will mark the beginning of a new spiritual era and acceleration into the end times. The Hamills speak of a rising generation of “end-time awakeners” and reformers who will ignite revival and disrupt the status quo—not just politically, but spiritually.

Throughout the episode, the message is clear: believers are not called to panic but to prepare. With spiritual insight, trust in God, and courageous faith, Christians can navigate the complexities of our times and walk in alignment with God's divine vision.

In this episode of The Vision TV Show, Executive Producers and Hosts Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, and Day Gardner, joined by Co-Hosts Ginger Howard and Katie Holmes, celebrated the 4th of July with guests Tara and Trinity Wicker, a mother-daughter duo from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dressed in red, white, and blue, the hosts welcomed the Wickers to discuss their pro-life journey, family values, and the redemptive power of God. The episode emphasized the importance of unity as Americans and the sanctity of life from womb to tomb, highlighted by a video titled "Pray for America." Tara, a former councilwoman and CEO of W Consulting Group, and her daughter Trinity, the Youth Programs Director for Louisiana Black Advocates for Life and part of She Leads America, shared their personal story of healing and activism, rooted in their family’s experience with abortion and their commitment to faith-driven advocacy.

Tara and her husband Michael, married for 30 years with six children, met as high school sweethearts and faced a life-altering moment when they became pregnant at 15 and 16. After an initial excitement about starting a family, Tara, influenced by her mother, chose abortion, a decision that brought silence and shame for 30 years. Michael, unaware of the abortion until afterward, described the moment as one where "everything went silent," reflecting the deep emotional impact. Their healing came through their relationship with God, never blaming each other but taking shared responsibility. This experience fueled their passion for the pro-life movement, with Tara now serving as the Capitol Region Director for Louisiana Right to Life, advocating to ensure young women understand the consequences of abortion.

Trinity, inspired by her parents’ story, became a pro-life advocate after attending summits and camps, eventually taking on leadership roles with Louisiana Black Advocates for Life and Louisiana Family Forum. She shared how her mother’s openness about their past gave her the courage to empower youth to be bold leaders in their communities. Trinity emphasized the value of family support, describing her family as "enmeshed" and a vital support system, which she encourages others to foster. Her work focuses on equipping young people to live out their God-given purpose, drawing from biblical principles to be examples in speech, conduct, and purity, despite fears or feelings of inadequacy.

Tara’s journey of breaking her 30-year silence about her abortion began at a public luncheon where God prompted her to share her story, leading to healing through openness. She encouraged women carrying the pain of abortion to recognize God’s redemptive power, noting that sharing her story helped her heal and inspired others, including pastors’ wives, to break their silence. Tara highlighted that abortion does not define one’s life and that God can transform pain into purpose, a message reinforced by her and Michael’s ministry to share the truth about abortion’s impact on individuals and communities. Trinity echoed this, urging young people to surrender their weaknesses to God, trusting Him to work through them to fulfill their purpose.

The episode concluded with a powerful message about God’s forgiveness, emphasizing that abortion is not an unforgivable sin and that community support counters the enemy’s tactic of isolation. A poignant moment addressed Tara’s mother, who, as a single parent, felt like a failure when both her daughters faced unplanned pregnancies, reflecting a family history of abortion. The hosts and guests called for America to bless God, not just seek His blessings, and prayed for the nation’s healing. The Wickers’ story underscored the theme that God’s vision for life and family surpasses worldly views, offering hope and redemption to all.

In this episode of The Vision TV Show, Executive Producers and Hosts Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, and Day Gardner, alongside Co-Hosts Ginger Howard and Katie Holmes, welcomed Sandi and Jarrett Ellis to share their inspiring, Christ-centered love story and their unique ministry. Jarrett, Dr. Alveda King’s son, and Sandi, who was single for 17 years following a divorce, were brought together through Alveda’s prayerful matchmaking. Recognizing their shared commitment to waiting for God’s best and refusing to settle, Alveda suggested Jarrett as a guest for Sandi’s podcast. This introduction sparked a profound connection, rooted in their mutual devotion to Jesus, leading to hours-long phone conversations filled with laughter and spiritual bonding before they ever met in person, highlighting the power of divine timing in their journey.

Sandi recounted a prophetic dream from five years earlier, where she saw herself in Washington, D.C., with a handsome man she later identified as Jarrett. This dream revealed a capacity for unconditional love she hadn’t yet developed, underscoring God’s preparation for their union. Jarrett, also divorced, had surrendered his search for a spouse to God, declaring that if a wife was part of his destiny, God would provide. Their story emphasized the importance of patience and faith, contrasting sharply with secular relationship models that often prioritize physical attraction or convenience over spiritual alignment. By waiting for God’s plan, they cultivated a relationship grounded in a shared love for Christ.

Married for eight months, Sandi and Jarrett exemplified a godly partnership, often seen holding hands and supporting each other’s callings. Their ministry at asweetsavour.com focuses on essential oils inspired by biblical references, such as spikenard and hyssop, crafted to evoke the presence of Christ through the sense of smell, as referenced in 2 Corinthians 2:15, which describes believers as a “sweet savor of Christ unto God.” Jarrett’s romantic gestures, like staying up until 2 a.m. to blend oils for their first date, naming one “Esther’s Scepter” after Sandi’s suggestion, reflected their commitment to a lifestyle of worship that engages all senses, aligning their physical and spiritual lives with their faith.

Sandi shared that her biggest adjustment in marriage was softening the high boundaries she maintained as a single minister, a necessity for pouring into others while protecting her spiritual life. Jarrett’s merciful nature, inspired by his love for the Book of John, made this transition smoother, allowing her to embrace flexibility while remaining true to her calling. Their “whirlwind romance” was built on a spiritual foundation, with Jarrett emphasizing the Apostle John’s teaching that “we love because He first loved us.” This principle enabled their love to be perfected through mutual devotion to God, setting their marriage apart from worldly models that often lack this spiritual core.

The episode included a lighthearted drawing for essential oil gifts, with winners from Integrated Book Marketing and Deep Vision, symbolizing the couple’s desire to share their ministry’s blessings. Jarrett closed with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to reveal His love to singles and couples, enabling them to love others fully. The couple invited viewers to explore asweetsavour.com, reinforcing the theme that God’s vision for relationships surpasses worldly perspectives. Their story offered hope and inspiration, demonstrating that a Christ-centered marriage, likened to a threefold cord, is unbreakable when rooted in faith and divine purpose.

The show opens with a warm welcome from the hosts—Dr. Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, Day Gardner, Ginger Howard, and Katie Holmes—as they set the tone for a heartfelt discussion about celebrating women. Destiny shares how God placed a message on her heart about the power of unity among women, emphasizing the importance of having trustworthy, supportive female friendships. This theme carries through the episode as the hosts reflect on their mothers’ and grandmothers’ profound influences, often evoking emotional and spiritual connections. They speak candidly about love, loss, and the legacy of maternal strength, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight how mothers shape values, faith, and character.

Each host offers a tribute to the women who guided them—some still living, others dearly missed. Alveda King honors her mother and grandmother, recalling her grandmother’s prayerful influence and her mother’s love for butterflies, even dedicating a garden in her memory. Ginger celebrates the bond between her mother and grandmother and the lasting impact of her grandmother’s promise to live to 100—a promise she miraculously kept. Katie Holmes remembers her mother's humor, beauty, and the compliment of being told she shared her mother’s smile. These stories underscore the unique legacy passed down through generations of women.

The conversation shifts to encouraging those who may not have had positive relationships with their mothers. The hosts stress that all women can find supportive mentors and friendships through faith and prayer. Ginger, for instance, has mentored young women for decades, while Alveda shares a vulnerable moment from her youth, revealing how insecurity gave way to healing through a deeper relationship with God. Her message is clear: every woman is loved, valued, and celebrated by God.
A lighthearted segment called *"Ode to the Road"* adds humor and joy, chronicling a real travel mishap turned musical moment. Alveda wrote a song and a children’s book inspired by the experience, showcasing her creative spirit. The hosts use this story to affirm the importance of joy, adventure, and friendship in their faith journeys.

The episode concludes with a meaningful discussion on conflict resolution among women. Ginger and Alveda reflect on their own friendship and how working through racial and cultural differences—especially while co-authoring a book—strengthened their bond. They emphasize open, honest communication, forgiveness, and prayer as tools for resolving misunderstandings. Other hosts agree, acknowledging personal growth, past hurts, and the importance of surrounding oneself with women who uplift and encourage.

Ultimately, the show is a heartfelt celebration of womanhood, spiritual sisterhood, and the transformative power of love, forgiveness, and shared faith.

The Vision TV show is Executive Produced by Dr. Alveda King and Destiny Yarbrough, with co-hosts Ginger Howard and Day Gardner, and Guest Host Pastor Tracey Armstrong. The Hosts dedicate this heartfelt segment to honoring Israel, with special guests Ashley Garrett, Consulate General of Israel for the Southeast, and Pastor Steven Curry, an Arab-born Christian minister based in Israel. The discussion centers on the profound spiritual, historical, and biblical significance of Israel for Christians, emphasizing the scriptural mandate in Psalm 122:6 to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 

The hosts share personal stories of their transformative visits to Israel, describing the overwhelming experience of walking where Jesus walked, from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Holy Land. Dr. King recalls a trip where she traveled in a bulletproof bus due to regional tensions, while Howard shares her emotional connection to the Jewish people during a trip led by Mike Huckabee. Armstrong highlights a documentary, Bridging the Gap in the Holy Land, which showcases efforts to foster dialogue and unity between Jews and Christians, underscoring the shared Judeo-Christian heritage.

The segment addresses the ongoing conflict in Israel, particularly the October 7th hostage crisis, with 108 individuals still in captivity after 326 days. Garrett passionately calls for Christians to use their voices to demand the hostages’ release, emphasizing solidarity through symbolic acts like wearing pins in support. Both Garrett and Curry articulate why Christians should support Israel, citing its biblical prominence—mentioned over 2,400 times in Scripture—and its role as the root of the Christian faith, with Jewish traditions forming the foundation for Christianity. Curry, identifying as a “biblicist” rather than a Zionist, stresses the unity of God across the Old and New Testaments, rejecting replacement theology and affirming that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same God for all generations. He challenges divisive narratives, urging viewers to pray for both Jews and Arabs, as God’s heart has room for all.

The discussion also tackles misinformation, particularly among younger generations influenced by social media platforms like TikTok. Curry addresses the Israeli-Palestinian dilemma, condemning violence like the October 7th attacks as morally unacceptable, regardless of political stances. Garrett shares her journey into Israel advocacy, sparked by her involvement with Christians United for Israel during her time at the University of Georgia and deepened by multiple visits and studies in Israel. She encourages practical support through education, following reliable sources like the Consulate’s newsletter, and speaking truth in love to counter false claims about Israel. Both guests highlight the resilience of the Jewish people, with Garrett noting the Hebrew word for hope, hatikvah, and Curry sharing his ministry’s work in Bethlehem, aiding Holocaust survivors, Arabs, and Christians alike.

The hosts and guests call for actionable support: praying for peace, giving to humanitarian efforts, visiting Israel to connect with its people, and advocating against misinformation. They emphasize the importance of compassion over despair, urging viewers to move beyond grief to active involvement, such as supporting initiatives like Curry’s Nativity Encounter project, a Bible immersive discovery center in Bethlehem preserving the story of Jesus’ birth. The segment concludes with a prayer for Israel’s peace, the hostages’ release, and unity among all people, reinforcing the message that God’s promises offer hope amidst conflict. The hosts encourage viewers to stand boldly with Israel, speak out, and engage with its vibrant, diverse communities to bridge divides and fulfill the biblical call to bless Israel.

In this episode of The Vision, the hosts (Alveda King, Destiny Yarbrough, Ginger Howard,  & Day Gardner) discuss the importance of listening and being kind in our interactions, reflecting on what they would advise their younger selves. They emphasize the main theme of the video, which is the value of personal growth and the significance of having a strong relationship with God. Additionally, the highlight is a compelling segment featuring Josh Youssef, president of Help the Persecuted, who shares heart-wrenching stories of persecution faced by Christians globally and the organization's mission to provide rescue, restore, and rebuild their lives.

The Vision with Pastor Tracey Armstrong: Media Impact for God's Kingdom
Executive Producers: Dr. Alveda King and Destiny Yarbrough
Co-Hosts: Day Gardner and Ginger Howard

Pastor Tracey Armstrong appeared on *The Vision* to share his powerful testimony and insights on how media can be used to advance God's kingdom. As founder of the Destiny Channel and pastor of Citadel Church, Pastor Tracy described how his calling began at age six when a movie about the Bible deeply convicted him and inspired a prayer to never miss God’s “last-day ark.” That moment shaped his mission to build spiritual “arks” through media—safe places for people to encounter God during times of crisis. He emphasized that media is a battle of words, and Christians must boldly use platforms like social media, film, and television to spread hope, truth, and light. Tracy introduced the idea of reclaiming the word “propaganda” in a positive, biblical sense—promoting and advancing God’s message boldly.

He highlighted the Destiny Channel as a space for faith-driven content, empowering media missionaries, musicians, and creatives. The channel was birthed from a burden he felt after watching a poorly acted yet spiritually anointed Christian film. Recognizing the lack of quality platforms for Christian creatives, he launched Destiny to fund and support artists' projects. Through initiatives like the Launch Lab and partnerships with new filmmakers, writers, and even cartoon creators, Destiny Channel has become a collaborative hub for building God's media presence.

Throughout the show, the hosts echoed the need for unity, vision, and courage in media, praising Pastor Tracy's builder mindset and apostolic mantle. They also discussed the negative impact of online trolls, emphasizing the importance of speaking life and truth. Pastor Tracy concluded with a prayer for boldness, healing, and encouragement, reminding viewers that it's never too late to step into their God-given destiny. His message was clear: start now, don’t wait, and be a part of building God’s vision through media.

Now a certified coach for the program, she guides others in making sustainable, Biblically inspired health changes.

Nadia also discussed the origins of "Mom Talk", which began as a passion project after years of ministering to mothers in various settings. She uses the platform to mentor and encourage moms in their unique callings, emphasizing the value of motherhood and helping women pursue purpose-filled lives.

With grace, strength, and faith, Nadia continues to walk out her vision, modeling how to live a joyful, intentional life even amid trials. The hosts and viewers alike were touched by her story, her radiant smile, and her evident trust in God, affirming that she is truly walking through the fire and coming out as gold.
