"there's no scenes sadder than hurting men afraid to be hurting men in public" 🔥
"Who gives a black man permission to cry? Jesus does.... " I felt that hit like a brick man. I know my skin doesn't match Preston's, but we've got the same blood in Jesus. Amen.
" A man mourning doesn't make him weak it keeps him alive."
"y'all I will cry whenever I feel like it!"
That's it, right there. We can cry whenever we feel like it, whenever the need or want for release arises.
When grief comes out, it makes room for life to come in 😢👏
A man mourning doesn't make him weak, it keeps him alive.
Preston. Thank you my dude, even though i'm not black I can relate. I've been told for a long time to deny my emotions or feelings instead of taking them captive to Jesus. Poems are so powerful. I ordered your poets in autumn DVD and I can't wait to hear it. Thank you for your powerful testimony and ministry. You are well loved my brother in Christ.
Nate Lex you will not be disappointed with the DVD your ordered. I promise. I had the privilege to see all of them live in Seattle with my daughter. What a blessing! These poets are disciples, spreading the Gospel message with love and empathy.
Amy Elise YES! I love that!!!
Wow!! I am a single Mom raising a son...thank you for this poem..from South Africa.
Do not put words in my mouth! Watch the ones coming from yours!
One of my most favorites from the PIA tour. Thank you Preston for your vulnerability. 🙏
man Preston is my absolute favorite, this was soo real and beautifully written. Such an important piece of work for our culture.
For all cultures. With much respect.
Brother I could do nothin but cry and smh, I'm from Newark, NJ...its a lot of pain in me I've been letting out, God has let me see, and ive been on ya page every day since I came I came across it a week ago... keep goin what u doin brother, Jesus has softened our hearts and we can see the pain not only we go through but others and to be able to feel is such a blessing
As a 52 year old Spiritual Black Female Therapist...I Salute You Brotha,❤️💚🖤
My wife talks about how it would have been powerful for our parents to prepare us for the prejudice awaiting us.
This video is so deep to me!!! I’m so tired of men feeling like they can’t express their feelings! Men are not robots they are human beings who have feelings and should be able to express them! It doesn’t make a man weak because he express how he feels! I would be more worried if you didn’t express how you feel! Make men feel safe enough to express their feelings and emotion!
Growing up in the hood and with a lotta dudes who shunned me for being a sensitive dude and expressing my feelings, this hits home for me personally. Despite that, I continued to be me and express myself and my emotions because that's what real men do. The Bible is filled with sensitive men who expressed their emotions.
You are blessed to know and have the courage to express your emotions. Need more of you.
True dat 🙌
So powerful, everyone needs to watch this video.
Praise YESHUA! The more I listen to you , I understand the youth! I say youth because most youth want to be a black youth/Kool!
This testimony/poem is sad and uplifting!
You're an amazing young man!
I'm 63! THE LORD IS using you to teach me about The Youth and how to, not let a finger nail under my skin when witnessing!
Funny! Its not the youth that keep my head from turning!
I look for to your book and more teaching videos!
I'm blessed by your and wife ministry!
And seeing what Family looks like!
Blessings 🙏❤🔥🌍

I was at the OKC PIA Tour. Thank you for this poem. I was not ready. Your words pierced through my soul and time stopped. I felt so many emotions as tears ran down my face. I grieve and mourn with my brothers and sisters from the black community. #JesusPlusTherapy #BlackLivesMatter #MyHusbandMatters
They can only see the Black in my soul, thats why they act so cold, the cold shoulder is all I've felt, oh the distaste they've dealt. I feel u! It's still hard to cry... Now I know why! Thanks!
Much respect Preston👊🏿 We appreciate your artistry!
One of my favourites from PIA Tour 2019! I have been waiting for it. Thank you Preston
This had me teared up the whole time, thank you for sharing this
This was my favorite from this year! I was literally in tears! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
It's not society's fault though, MEN have never had a platform for emotions and feelings and it's due to MEN, no one else can be blamed for it.
Powerful. Thank you Jesus for my brother.
Definitely one of my favorite poems on the tour!!
Thank you for addressing the hidden issues of the heart
Yes! "I will cry whenever I feel like it." Thank you for addressing this. No matter our gender, color or religion, I believe if we all cried more as adults, many people would be in a more healthy mindset. Thank you for your words, they are so important.
Loved it in person love it now !
Thank you Preston
This blessed me 🙌 thank you

I'm not a man. But I do struggle with emotional health. I often feel I don't have the right to laugh or smile or feel some way. I often feel my sentiments are invalid. This poem is great.
🔥🔥🔥Wow

Damn.
❤🙏❤
That one dislike got me feeling like………😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Same here
Can't do anything about people who dislike videos like this maybe they dislike because they haven't found that comfort in Christ to know that it's okay to feel down just know that he can pick you up. Got to pray for people who don't understand have keep them in prayer so the Love of Christ can come in there hearts
