Stop-it! In-to-me-see!!!!!! It is so wonderful to see you Pastor Gray.
Speak! I love the depth of the authentic conversations on Cam’s Funky Friday Podcast❤❤❤
Powerful!
Great conversation....much respect to Cam and John.
I love watching Cam he inspires me so much ❤💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This transparency from Pastor Gray is true kingdom work…this is worshipping the Lamb through the power of your testimony..I pray this sets a lot of people free cuz dude is dropping 💎💎💎
Great convo! I’m always impressed with how intelligent Cam is.
💯💯💯💯💯💯‼️
❤🎉you on the map Cam God's love
My Dad would always tell me and my sisters "tell me what he said and I'll tell you what he meant".
😂
That’s was great. I just recently came out and told close sis of Christ about my current addiction to weed. It freed me so much that they did not judge me but still love me. Just like Jesus ❤❤❤
I say it all the time is not an excuse but there is a reason.
I live in Houston and I hoped Pastor Gray would’ve stayed because the way he breaks the Bible down and mks it relatable is a gift
A Mason: You can break down the Bible just like him as well🤷🏽♂️! God is no respect a person ijs.
GREAT CONVO. !!! THIS IS THE BEST FUNKY FRIDAY EVER !!! THAT IS MY PASTOR !!! I AM SOOOO PROUD OF FIRST LADY GRAY & PASTOR JOHN GRAY. !!! THEY ARE THE BEST THEY BOTH HAVE HEARTS OF GOLD. !!!! I LOVE THEM !!! 1# FAN AND CHURCH MEMBER. !!!!
This is the season of truth. No more hiding in the closet. This story will ignite other truth tellers. So many adults are sharing their childhood traumas especially the ones that was told to just pray it away.
THIS IS A GEM!!!!
Yall are a vibe together!
love the both of you!
Grace! We all need it 😊❤❤❤
Glad to see the growth and deliverance of John Gray! Pass by this several times and glad I took the time to listen
This was a great discussion, this guy brought up some incredible points. I hate he had to go through what he went through. God had a higher calling for him.
Thank you pastor Gray for your testimony ❤ I hope others especially men get encouraged to tell their story.
This is speaking to my spirit m! I grew up COGIC! Starting at the age of 5 or 6. I’m 45 and barely ridding myself of some of that hard core crap
It's nothing like your Peace🕊❤🕊❤💯💯💯🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this conversation, gentlemen!!! I so appreciate you both for having such a vulnerable and anointed dialogue. I was convicted by some of what y'all had to say. You two have stirred up the gifts that God has asked u to steward so well! God bless 🤟🏼
❤❤❤❤
By far the best funky Friday yet. Such rich authenticity, love, and transparency. Iron sharpening iron. And encouraging one another. Super dope & anointed.
Loved This! Great to see Pastor Grey doing well.
GOD BLESS YOU CAM. !!!! SO PROUD OF YOU. !!!! I AM A BIG FAN OF YOUR FUNKY FRIDAY PODCAST !!!! YOUR INTERVIEW WITH PASTOR JOHN GRAY WAS THE BEST. !!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORKS. !!! 1# FAN
Dropped a tear on the outro. Cam, you are the GREATEST!
I don't know you pastor John Gray but good you shared your story on being sexual molested by two males that's awful but your bold to tell the world 2/20/23
Wow John gray so proud of you definitely a vessel for Christ spirit ❤
Im so sorry that you experienced this horrible attack on you. I pray that you are totally healed from it. Blessings always.
Omg cam and his guest have been having the best dialogues
This was so dope.I feel just like this!I relate to the awkwardness of business and church.And those church goers who are above folks and forget where they came from.I needed this.Dope Convo, thanks to both of you for the transparency.
No matter what you have in life or lack we are all humans and we all bleed RED blood. Everybody need to have somebody to bleed with . Cam there is somebody that can relate to you with all your money. All ministers get empty and need someone to pour into them as well. We are not an island on our own. There's always somebody somewhere that you can lean on and and get strength and knowledge from.
Awesome conversation!! Love the transparency! It’s the testimonies of others that elevate others! ✨
Amazing convo & Testimony ❤🙌🏾!!! Really appreciate Pastor John Gray Transparency & Vulnerability. It’s wonderful seeing Young men/women navigate thru their Childhood trauma. I’m a firm believer that We Can’t Heal What We Don’t Reveal. Also I’m a Sexual abuse/physical abuse survivor an lemme tell you that trauma stuck with me for years . Now that I’m 33 I’ve been in therapy for 6 years an must admit it helped a great deal. Let’s start normalizing therapy & it’s okay to not be okay . My calling now I feel is to help inspire/encourage others by sharing my story. I’m in the Mental health field. But when I was sexually abused I turned to Sex/ alcohol 🍷. By the grace of God I’m glad I’m still here
This conversation has made me happy for so many reasons.
It's Friday and it's funky . When I'm rocking with you , I'm rocking with the best. As always great conversation and drop in some nuggets. Salute !!
Lol Tell the story Cam lol Samuel & the sons & David....love it!
Salute to Cam Newton
Salute to Pastor Gray
Much Love and Respect to you all💯💯💯🕊💙🕊❤🕊❤💪🏾👍🏾🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽
"Bounce Back " Shout out to John Grey !
I needed to hear this…thank you so much for the conversation.
This pastor is the first person I have heard admit that when you sexually abuse a child, it greatly determines their sexuality.
@kerima abu it can determine your sexuality in some cases in my case I didn't get molested till the age of 11 I can recall from the age of 6 having a same sex attraction so yes it all depends on the individual.
I believe Donnie McClurkin and Tyler Perry talked about it, too. DonnieM was molested by an uncle and cousin. This started for him at about age 8, I think. I think the uncle also molested Donnie’s sisters. Donnie said how confusing it was for him as it was his first sexual experience. I think Tyler Perry said his “body betrayed” him in that molestation, in that, he was confused by the sexual feelings he had from being molested and what it meant for his sexuality. (For better reference of where this was said, there is “The Donnie McClurkin Story,” a documentary on Donnie McClurkin, and Tyler Perry’s interview on molestation on Oprah.)
⬆️ fyi ... TylerP said in that interview that he was sexually abused by three men and a woman in his childhood. This caused him confusion.😓
@@noble604 I know, because sex is far more complex and involving than the media expresses it to be, Sex is a spiritual, emotional and physical involvement, and on those three different levels a person can be TOTALLY destroyed. The fact is you must be very, very careful who touches it. The pastor is battling with the spiritual aspect of the sex that he was exposed to.
kerima abu - Yes, it is. Sadly, since it’s not uncommon, more and more people have come out and openly discussed their own experiences of sexual abuse and their sexuality. I remember ... QueenLatifah, Don Lemon, a football player Laverneus (sp?) Coles and Monique ... There are those who talk about it from the spiritual point of view, such as Pastor Donnie McClurkin and the impact it had on his belief in God and negative view of himself as well as Tyler Perry who wrestled with his own sexuality and others talk about it and the impact it had on their whole life, like Monique. All of their accounts are worth listening to for anyone interested in more on the topic. Sadly, there are so many stories.
Same Cam. All we knew was church. Nothing else! I allow my kids to ask me anything but we still going to church. But we talk about everything!
Best episode by far… currently can relate to a lot of these things discussed in this video in my season of life! Definitely spoke to me 😮💨🙏🏾
My apologies Pastor John Gray for judging you! I listened to you and was convicted. Thank you for your story and your truth!
Excellent Sit Down Fellas. I Loved Every Minute Of It.
My Goodness this was a great segment
Great Show and Cam you are truly transparent and know your word met pastor Gray at The great American Speak Off great man continue to set the bar
This was the one right here fasho 🤝🏾💪🏾
I Love it❤
Great interview!
Maaaaaaannnnn Cameron J. Newton, I always appreciate your honesty and transparency. Whenever you want to talk about the book The Life Diet 365-Life Liberty and the Pursuit of you I WILL BE READY! This is a book about acknowledging and removing toxic people from your life.
Very Enjoyable Conversation
I'm a Huge Fan since the 1 show guest starring Steve Harvey
This! All of this! 🙌🏾
Love this conversation! Keep it coming because my grandson grew up without a father figure. He’s coping with anger and emotional issues right now! Hopefully he will run across conversations like these because I barely can talk to him anymore.
Cam you never disappoint.
Amazingly Convo and Testimony 🙌🏽 Love you both ❤Realness!! A true breakdown of a spiritual man. End of the convo is you have your personal relationship with God!! Blessings ❤🙏🏽
I enjoyed this segment thank you for having Pastor Grey on I love him and his family…His been through a lot so all can say if God did it for him, He will do for you. Just amazing God bless
I'm so glad I watched this on the replay. Amazing conversation between Cam and Pastor John Gray. 🙌🏽 This is probably one of the best Funky Fridays this far! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Praise God!
Cam bro this was awesome conversation 👏 🙌 Loved the honesty in this conversation
THIS IS SOOOO GOOD
I'm an atheist, but I always liked John Gray. He's funny and genuine about the things he believes and talks about
It’s crazy that a atheist can respect this man and so many so called Christians can’t forgive him for his mistakes. But none the less man Jesus love you anyway that’s the true love of God🙏🏽 RESPECT
@@1stmillionaireinmyfamily331 Guess what he don't need Christians to forgive him he just need to keep seeking God.
But he be preaching to people about relationships while he keep cheating on his wife that is why people will not forgive him
Definitely gonna defend John gray in the comments don’t bring up his sins unless you’re ready to expose yours Jesus can use anybody don’t come for him he is truly anointed and not defined by his mistakes jesus paid for them already
Man everything that is said is powerful 🙌!
I Love it Pastor Gray
I think that them together was very necessary. Much needed conversation in this day and time. Thank you guys for being honest and human. 2 of my favorite people talking that is awesome. God brought this together.
Great interview 👍
DAILY PRAYER UNCOVER EXPOSE AND REMOVE EVERYBODY&EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE THAT IS NOT FOR ME🙏
I wish to see you back on the field. Especially in Carolina. SuperCam for life.
💯💯💯‼️😘
While I appreciate the dialogue, the fact is this: trauma is in the experience and the body. My spirit leaped to hear my brothers verge on parts, we all have internal parts. Some are born with them and other parts develop as a result of what happens to us. Some call them ego states. Pastor spoke eloquently about the wounded young part in exile being protected by managers within. I also appreciated the implications of trauma informed flashbacks /dissociation. Trauma response does require body work to move trauma thru the system towards healing. Emotional, physical, and soul injuries matatisize as inner wounds that can be healed thru appropriate care by God's grace. Thanks for putting face on trauma engaging the universality of pain. Our community is suffering and healing follows awareness. Thanks for using your platform spiritually to support community. Our stories are necessary by us for us. We have got to have these conversations with intentionality to support communal healing. So many of our woundedness and burdening is communal much like our collective healing. This becomes spirituality in my summation. I aways welcome these dialogues and testimonials thus providing increased hope towards restoration and expansion. Abundant love and radical healing is what's up. Blessings & Grace. Yep, licensed clinician here basking in how far mental health has come in our community. We are dismantling the stigmas around our best health! Good job brothers.
What a good conversation amen May God bless you both. Thank you for sharing your story Pastor John Gray
I don’t need to be threatened by Hell or rewarded by Heaven to be compassionate. Listening to Pastor Grey was beautiful. I was empathetic to his story. Thank you for humanizing being human. Life is a roller coaster ride. It’s also balance. Everything happening is for the next version which will be the best version. I wish you love on your healing💗💕
John Gray is supposed to be a Christian pastor not a new aged spiritual guru. You can't be both.
@@newtrollaccount384 your actually funny. I honesty sit and listen to religious people and what sticks out is how selective they are. It’s like they’re forced to have a blind eye to the obvious. Most don’t even think so common sense ain’t even common.
Many have been molested as well. A lot of churches are safe spaces for dirty secrets.
Let’s not start with the fake lifestyles many are forced to think is Godly💆🏽♀️ Who taught y’all how to judge & hate others like that? Y’all are the most judgmental hypocrites on the face if this earth🤷🏾♀️
Dope convo
You are doing a great job with this show!! Keep walking in your purpose!! Keep letting your light shine 👏👏🙌🙌. Much love from the "Queen" city.

THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND MERCY
C'mon Cam! Always blessings, by the way, come to kc... unless you are done with football. Blessings always. You are still transcending these younger peeps to think critically.
Keep it clean Bro!
May God keep moving u higher!
Blessings to all of your guests!
🚀💕❤️✔️🙏🏼
Ama always stand ten toes down for pastor gray because he is speaks against exactly what I despise about Christian’s. I’m a child of god but the politics of church yeaa Ama stay far from that. Not one lie was told in this and the church Christian’s gona be mad but hey the truth hurts ain’t it. Awesome conversations
Yes! Marriage is a Choice not a Commitment. And you bare human ❤
its both
Great convo!
Blessings Cam & Pastor Gray🙏🏾 Blessings to you both & families 🙏🏾🌹 this was wonderful. Thx for sharing your testimonies, it's touching many. Cam Will you ever do a Funky Friday with affirmations for kids?
This was awesome.
Great interview Pastor John
This is awesome conversation! The church needs more of this. Prayers God use Cam to get more conversation across to those who need it. This is giving Christ to people. Christianity is a daily walk.
old school relationships was looking for everything to stay with the main wife, but still had 12 kids with 8 different women cross town... new school just ain't got no patience to stay in a long relationship if it ain't going they way.... new school has seen enough wrong to say I'm not going through what my mama and big mama went through. new school ain't got time for the BS. but you have to have balance. there's no right when you have two wrongs. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!! OLD SCHOOL/NEW SCHOOL NEITHER WAS OR IS RIGHT!... your happiness is whats right choose that!!!
Dr. Sm Lockridge. Thank the Lord
Every FRIDAY 💯
