I commend this pastor for his awareness, honesty, and willingness to have this conversation with a black woman. As Babbie said, it begins with conversation. Healing for trauma begins with conversation and acknowledgment of others' pain and struggles. I love Babbie! Her music ministered to me during trials in my formative Christian years in Barbados. I also had the privilege of attending her concert in Barbados. Her music continues to minister to me. Since we have moved from cassettes, I am now buying her digital songs that have blessed me over the years. Thank you, Pastor! Thank you, Babbie!
I had the great privilege of hearing Ms. Mason a number of years ago at Calvary Baptist Church in Winston Salem NC. What a wonderful testimony in music and word and what an amazing sense of humor as well If only all of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ would live by John 17 it would change the conversation and the world
I am 82 years old and I just met Babbie Mason. I love her to sing “All Rise” She is so blessed to have a voice anointed by God! May the Lord continue to bless her and her family.
Woke up this morning 19 March 2021, with Babbie's song "Lord show me how to love" on my heart. She is my fave singer. Spent my early adulthood listening to a 90 min cassette of her songs. I love her spirit so much. Please extend my deepest love to her from Tobago!
Oh yes can relate that is how I ended seeing this interview, was just playing and singing along to some of her songs. I absolutely love this great woman of God her ministry through song and music is uplifting discerning and reassuring!!
Wonderful woman of God. One of my favorite Babbie Mason songs is, Pray on. That song really ministers to me. I think it was done for me. Just finished listening to it. Love from Jamaica
Babbi you are a true Christian Artist. I just don’t understand why you are more widely known in the black churches. I have loved your music for years. You are so innovative in your writing & singing. Love you always. Stay safe & keep singing👍❣️🎼
I had just listened to Babbie Mason sing on a Gaither video. She has a beautiful voice. I wanted to learn more about her, so I listened to this video. She referred to the scripture that the joy of the Lord is her strength. That resonates with me so much. Her views and her heart on the racial tensions following the George Floyd incident really speaks to me. Thank you to the pastor and Eastside church for conducting this interview. I have things to think about and pray about. May God bless Babbie and this church.
God Has Another Plan... yes He does, Babbie. That song saved my life in August of 1995. I was given two weeks to live. God truly did have another plan. Thank you for singing those words. Jeremiah 29:11 is true yesterday, today and forever.
Oh how wonderful to see and hear Babbie Mason here. I remember seeing her there at Eastside. Thank you for sharing this and keep shining the light, Babbie. the word needs you and I am so grateful for you and pray for healing of the racism in our country and world. I remember your song " We can make a world of Difference with the Love of God....." Thank you! I love you! Robert Vest
This is so powerful! Thank you both for being bold enough to have "The Conversation." A conversation that is much needed in the church! Love chooses the higher good!
The Lord gave me your song Babbie "Trust His heart" and that song along with "Pray on" has been my pillar of strength, the words by which I live. Thank you Babbie, for allowing the Lord to use you so profoundly.
Thank you so much! I just discovered Ms Mason in October 2021 when I sang three of her songs to my seniors. Pray On, Trust His Heart and Change Me Now. What a blessing she is to me. I thank God for leading me to her songs. I wish I had more of her instrumentals to sing to my seniors. God bless you Mrs Mason.
Thank you Eastside and Babbie Mason for such a beautifully honest conversation. WE listen to you sing on The Gaither's and we always feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit as you release your musical gift that God has given you. Keep preaching, teaching and singing and may God's richest blessing rest upon you and your family for generations.
Wow , I am of Babbie’s generation and color but living in the Caribbean always heard and read of some of this racism but never expierence it in such a way. What a heart of God to hear her testimony and admonition if ever there is a strong woman with a strong commitment to Jesus Christ I sense it in her. Very inspired also by the white Pastor John who comes over so genuine and wanting to be really a reflection of Christ . Inspired and bless.
God bless you Eastside. God bless you. This video was a related video I clicked on after listening to "God Has Another Plan". I wasn't expecting something like this. Thank you.
I came to know of her during a televised Billy Graham service. One of the songs she sang was "A World of Difference". I started then (during the 80's) collecting her songs. I absolutely love her and her mission!
Where is Eastside Church located? It is really great that your pastor seems so down to earth in this interview with you. I wish my husband and I could find a wonderful church family. Thank you for this interview.
People sometimes blame their skin color for other peoples rude behavior Rude people are not loving. Love is not rude. Sometimes rudes will be be more rude because of the difference, but that’s just who they are
I love conversation but conversation without action is nothing more than an empty Barrell or a clanging symbol! What we need is action! Faith without works is dead!! We need legislation! Not more conversation!! What we need is police reform! NOTHING will change by conversation alone! Those girlfriends who called to support her, where are they now!? Where are they when congress was trying to pass the George Floyd Act?!! Where is the church?! Why is the church not on the front lines rallying against injustice!! I am sick and tired of Everytime a tragedy happens like George Floyd, people want more "conversation." Then after the tragedy dies down, they return to their cozy comfortable lives until the next tragedy happens! It's insulting and ridiculous! God is not a fool!! God is not pleased with the church!! LOVE IS AN ACTION WORD!!! Babbie said she loves Eastside. I believe she is sincere. The real question, however, is does Eastside "really" love her!
Just wondrd whether....high school kids n your community r having sportsfest on summer camps?........no indepth bible studies designed for sixth graders?.......doesn't the bible speak clearly that ....God s gracious n compassionate?.......we had felt that compassion n grace via d aid of sine Christians who has helped subsidize our tuition fees n a university...founded thru a generous donation of an American philantrophist.........a school for boys that gas grown to bcome a university university..........Is the pain....reflective if the fact that some no longer adhere to the great good news.. ..that n Christ there s neither..... .......(was't that an issue that they also wrestled with?...........sports I say n some intensive n depth studies n what we blv to b...why Christ has come...to pull down walls that divide us n show us the highway of the uprt?.....if we truly blv n d grace of God that shows ys d better way.. We would nvr ever again b mislead into being a bit disdainful of others.....after all the LORD himself had said...men shall know that ye r my disciples if ye have love one for another

Wonderful woman of God. One of my favorite Babbie Mason songs is, Pray on. That song really ministers to me. I think it was done for me. Just finished listening to it. Love from Jamaica
I LOVE her music!! 🥰❤️🎤🎹🎵🎼🎤🎹🎤❤️🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mother always says “ Don’t let anyone or anything steal your Joy” She is 83 now and has taught this to her grandchildren too.
Thank you brother and sister to God be all Glory
I am from Jamaica and we sing her songs. Pray on, standing in the gap, love is the more excellent way, trust his heart. These are great songs
"Whatever you do, let love win." Very solid and powerful words.
Babbi you are a true Christian Artist. I just don’t understand why you are more widely known in the black churches. I have loved your music for years. You are so innovative in your writing & singing. Love you always. Stay safe & keep singing👍❣️🎼
I meant to say “I just don’t understand why you are NOT more widely know within the black churches “ 🤩🥰

I adore this woman so much coz she looks so much like an aunty I was so close with and had passed away 4 years ago ❤

Listen to Love Is The More Excellent Way.
Great conversation! Love Babbie Mason! Enjoy her music and ministry. Enjoyed her presence at Sandy Cove Retreat Center in MD. 🙏🏾

Babbie
Reach out your hand to me I AM PRAYING WITH YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
God bless you Eastside. God bless you. This video was a related video I clicked on after listening to "God Has Another Plan". I wasn't expecting something like this. Thank you.
I just heard her this month only song I heard was STOP BUY THE CHURCH SOMETIME ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE THAT SONG
I came to know of her during a televised Billy Graham service. One of the songs she sang was "A World of Difference". I started then (during the 80's) collecting her songs. I absolutely love her and her mission!
Pray on and Shine the light Babbie Mason?
If so, love you're songs✨
I still have memories of Babbie when she visited Uganda over 20yrs ago.
Unfortunately many don’t even like or respect each other in the same family let alone others.
Agape Love is automatic unconditional Love
AMEN !!!
He’ll Find A Way.
Lave you sister
Racism has always been there...Paid with chicken and watermelon 🍉...Good Lord..thanks for sharing this great story
She sounds like Natalie Cole when she speaks.
Never saw her so-ooo serious! Wow! he went through some o' the same doo-doo as the rest of us!
Did Babbi ever sing with the Gaithers?
Yes, she is on several of Gaither Homecoming.
Yes. "When I wake up in glory"
All Rise
"Stop by the Church; What are they Doing in Heaven Today; Leave it There; It is No Secret".
Where is Eastside Church located? It is really great that your pastor seems so down to earth in this interview with you. I wish my husband and I could find a wonderful church family. Thank you for this interview.
Hi Sofia! We are located in Marietta, Georgia. We hope you'll visit if you're in the area!
As a Caribbean and a Christian and I always wonder why the "Bible belt Jesus loving" South is the way it is.
Because "Jesus" is not LORD of their lives...imho
Peace🙏🏽💜🙏🏽

People sometimes blame their skin color for other peoples rude behavior
Rude people are not loving. Love is not rude.
Sometimes rudes will be be more rude because of the difference, but that’s just who they are
Pastor I thought; You said you gave Babbi Mason the floor to talk not a dialogue
Hasn't the wisest person said...he that despises his neighbor sins?.....n in one portion he said...."Let not mercy and truth forsake you..".
I love conversation but conversation without action is nothing more than an empty Barrell or a clanging symbol! What we need is action! Faith without works is dead!! We need legislation! Not more conversation!!
