The biggest reason why black people did not have or the church mental health is because of money. Mental health is just now being covered and still is not fully covered as medical health. The church has been wanting therapy.That's why they've been wearing the pastor out with counseling. In the past pastors have counseled for free or with little love offerings. Therapy normally starts at $250 for the assessment and $150 per session. Economically families just was not able to cover that. So even the way that we speak on the church and what the real problem was, sometimes it's a false narrative. They would say pray about it because there was no answer that they could give. We need to have a conversation about having mental health as a part of health care fully. I need more than 10 sessions. I should not have to stop counseling because my insurance won't cover the other sessions that I need though I pay them every month. They get my money every month so I should be able to have as many sessions as I need.
David man is really a strong person to be able to face his problems and actually put it out in public for the world to see. That takes a lot of guts and strength.
Revolutionary 👊 thank you David Mann for creating a safe space for Black and Brown men which can help our community be better for future generations 👏🙏🏼❤️
I'm a female and I enjoyed the whole thing it got me to know that men go through things too so get me to want to talk to my son more often thank you and keep it going🙏
It’s really good to see men own up to situations they were or are going through, becuz it’s really helping me already to open up about me!!! Thanks sooo much and I know y’all are bless and will continue on be bless
I really enjoyed this! Watching men talk about their mental health in a safe place and being vulnerable is SO POWERFUL AND NEEDED! Our men need this! So many men are suffering in silence and don't have to! I'm proud of all of them! This is an open door and invitation for other men to come forth and finally live in their birthright, being free!
This is powerful! I love that the doctor was relatable, practical, professional, and spiritual! David keep doing what God has laid on your heart. Many men will be blessed and healed because of your testimony and work. Kirk and Israel were inspiring as well and have amazing testimonies and examples to learn from. I have been sharing this with every male I know and ladies too! This is good stuff!
I so love this conversation!! I’ve taken notes on how to create a vulnerable space for my husband when I remarry. I’m sure you all saved lives with this recording!!! God Bless!!!
Congratulations! David Mann for bringing forth a positive, safe place platform for men to come with other men to express their feelings. Many times we as women just don't understand, we can listen which is fine, but we really don't understand. Most men understand each other. We as women always have our home girls to talk to, but most men don't have another brother to talk to. So happy for this new journey of bringing men together. Now! Let me step aside & let you guys have your space.💯❤️
I loved the conversation, I had no idea, Israel, had his own story. I’m like Kirk, I’m going to talk about my issues. I’m a woman, but took great notes. The church, may not always talk about it, but God, is working through you all!
This type of show has been something very needed. I divorced after 25yrs a marriage over 10 yrs ago. Probably still would have been married if my ex spouse had something even close to this. He didn't believe in counseling. But I did. But this show is awesome for men. Yes, kudos!
Very interesting and different. It's wonderful that someone took the time to create a show to deal with issues that men deal with, and focus on men. Everything about women and children, and very little about us as men. So this is a wonderful thing.
I'm so happy and excited for this show. I love to hear men genuinely talk because it helps to be able to support and love them even when they are going through hard and quiet times. Love this so much❤❤❤
Thank you for this. There are many young men who needs to see this. Y'all made so cool to talk about mental health and I hope it helps someone who looking for help 🖤
I shed tears and found healing watching this!! Dr. Tartt's work has changed my life and I am so grateful you had him on the show!! Bless you and Praise God!!!! 🎯
Kirk that is so true about the uncle who stayed in the room..becauae I had an uncle who was basically hidden and isolated because the family was ashamed and uneducated about mental illness.
This is a true blessing for us as men to talk about what's going on inwardly with us thank you so much my brothers for sharing may God continue to bless you all's footsteps
I have a son and to grandsons I think this is needed greatly. Not only for them but I think it can help me as well. Doc thanks for the pointers on how to get the young boys to talk and open up my oldest g-son is 11yrs old and he lost his farther a month before both of they're birthday's and this let me know that he needs some therapy. So please don't stop this...🙏💙
This is critical, pertinent, & necessary. I'm supremely proud of these Bruthas. I predict longer, happier lives for them, & the men that indulge in this new series, as well as all of their sons (& families.) #️⃣TRUELEADERSHIP 🏅🏆🎖
I just wanted to say thank you David Mann for always being a tremendous blessing ❤️💞🙏 &I wanted to say thank you all for your transparency 😊Each one of you have helped me tremendously!I laughed and I cried and I got delivered from y'all just playing your instruments!I danced I sung the lyrics and I watched the plays and shows😊I felt like I could make it I felt like I could stand❤😊😊 I just felt like Living because of You allllll❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm a Africa American woman ,single parent I've raised 7children by myself with God's help and i thank God for being alive today!Thank you LORD Jesus ❤ Thank you to the therapist and David Mann Kirk Franklin and Israel Houghton I appreciate you all❤❤❤I love you men of God!!!
I’m proud of all of you brothers. Thank you for allowing this vulnerability of yours to be a blessing for others. May the Lord continue to heal you mentally and give you strength. Love you💙
This is real truth, it’s been much on stages and platforms. But this is on the surface. Where everyone can grasp and understand. Especially what we battle within, without fear and being judge. Men to you all. This is fulfillment and some tools ⚒️ to equip to heal. Son Kirk this is your season for this. Yes God has gifted you and blessed you in your music 🎶 ministry. But this is what he wanted you to get to. To reach the world 🌎 God exposes us like an open book sometimes. We are the only one that can be the author in our books. Nobody can tell your story but you. Thank all of you for your God given courage. God masters all things he gives grace. 🙏👑⭐️
When Israel says that CHURCH is a business… that right there lies the problem. CHURCH is supposed to be a place for the broken and hurting to be edified, restored, healed, delivered and find salvation. The CHURCH is meant to be the safest place for everyone of all walks, status, class, race and creed. Not putting Israel on blast, but rather piggybacking on what he’s saying… Gods intent for His body was not to become a business plan nor model but rather a place where we are perfected through grace. This conversation is a need for believers. We need safe spaces to have real talk and be transparent to uncover hang ups that EVERYONE struggles with, using wisdom. Humanity is flawed and that’s ok because Gods design was for the BODY to administer healing one to another. But this can only happen when mature saints can bring restoration. Look at the human body and how God designed it. Antibodies are aids to war off infections and diseases. When the body attacks itself it’s often diagnosed as an auto immune disease. This ought to teach us how the Body of Christ was designed to function. (So much to unpack here but the natural can teach us.) Great conversation!
This has truly blessed me already. I was looking for some uplifting regarding mental health. Although I have positive ways of dealing with mental health, this was what I think I need as well. With this world and all the chaos of life, expectation that are placed on men, loss of love ones, our son's and daughters incarceration, sickness and health, ministry, leadership, parenting, being a husband, father, son, this all get really heavy on how we all deal with life. Please continue to have this safe place to communicate and demonstrate, healthy solutions to our challenges. Thank You
David Mann is my father figure of a real Man!!! He build structure in a mix family stepped up across the board!!! Im all in Im pushing to become the Mann he is balancing business a few kids and desiring to get remarried!!! Lets Gooooo Maaannnn
This is awesome I love this seening men showing there feelings and talking about it this is good. They should be more things like this. May God bless you all Brothers for sharing and a special congratulation to Dave for this Vision to do this programme. I was so emotional when he was tearful. He's such a wonderful man of God inside and out. I really enjoyed your show well done men for all of your honesty. 🙏❤️❤️🙏
This in my opinion needs to be a part of your TH-cam channel. I personally think that churches weren't teaching this when I was in my early walk with God
I wonder how Israel Houghton doing after his 4 Pastor friends committed suicide? That’s a hard pill to swallow. When you lay down at night I know your mind thought about those friends.
It takes real courage to be so transparent no matter who you are and what you have accomplished so far,,and we All have untold stories on every platform of our lives ❤ ♥ 💜 💖 .
As I am watching the likes and views are going up. I had to send this to my brother. I love this for the black man. As a woman I always thought I wanted a man to talk, but never did I actively listen. Thank God for leading you brothers 😊
this is real cool......mental health should be something talked about amongst Men more......We shouldnt be afraid...........thankyou for doing this #MannTv
i ❤it i am a woman and i went through mental health problems i seeked help halfway through and i was on my own the rest of the way and im still not open about my feelings so i can relate much respect for this conversation
There’s a disconnect between the ‘Church’ and ‘mental health,’ because Pastors tend to be Evangelist who ‘run’ the Church but refuse to allow the entire 5-fold ministry to operate in the Body in order to ‘mature’ the Body. Apostles, Prophets, and Teachers are very much needed. Otherwise, the ‘Church’ remains weak, stagnant, confused and carnal. I am so proud of you brothers, for acknowledging the past mistakes of ancestors, especially in the Church, and how y’all have taken the steps to recognize the old way won’t work for the Black Church today. For ONCE , no bashing and blaming Black women but taking accountability for getting the help they need.
Much of the dysfunctionality or stinking thinking in the Black community derives its origins from the dominant culture. Prior to slavery, our culture operated differently and our respect for the genders was more equal. However, as the ‘Church’ became more Catholic and Patriarchal to uphold the majority’s standards as it relates to everything, the Black man has struggled to adapt to that standard. Why? Because it was never meant for our culture and more importantly, it is not possible and never will be possible to force Black women to ‘behave’ like YT women.
When I was 18, my bf at the time was being playful with me and he hit me too hard. I hit his arm as hard as I could and told him not to hit me again. He took a water hose, when I wasn't looking and hit me harder. I called out for his mom, who was watching from the door and she just said, "yall stop playing around like that." So I went inside and got my purse to leave. He told me that I could've leave and grabbed purse and threw it in the street. I grabbed a 2×4 from the yard and swung like I was trying to hit a homerun. I hit him in the head and he stumbled and called for his mom. I ran to get my purse and got in my car to leave. I never went back to him. Abuse does not...should not EVER get a second chance.
16:33. As Believers we must always remember and remind each other that you can pray until you faint, but if you don't get up and do something (this case seek professional provider /medicine), God is not going to put it in your lap. This is not an eternal security/salvation issue
I’m so thankful my pastor has a therapist and is open about getting help and support. Also talks about seeing a professional for health including mental health.
I believe in the sleep deprivation. However, some are trained to operate on little sleep. I have a friend who is 71, hardly ever sleeps and runs 6 MILES a day, no matter the weather. Some people are just sad and going through it. God, help us all.
The fact that we as a whole go with “ the church is a business.” , is something we have to work on.💯💯💯💯💯💔💔💯💯. The church is supposed to be the Body of Christ. I had to realize that as well. It took years to realize the church is supposed to be a relationship with other sinners that want to get healthy in Jesus Christ. I figured since we’re in therapy we should get to the truth.❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙏🏽💯
Yea please keep doing this it is needed. My question is how do you continue to try to help someone that you genuinely love and have been with for over a decade that has been through a severe PTSD situation and they now see every one around them as an enemy? And they refuse to get mental help when they know they absolutely need it!
This is great men of God. Thank you for sharing. I got to the end of this and grabbed my Husband and said “let’s go take a walk”. He said yes and now we are exercising. Thanks!
Needed this! I’ve talked about this in general about our mental health and how we not only as black men but others ignore mens mental health. We matter too!
Wow, this is a really good conversation. I'm a mother of two sons, and listening to these four men talking about mental health issues is a teachable moment for me . As a mother in a black and brown community, I am open to these types of conversations. Thank you all. Keep the conversation going .
Like Kirk, I didn't know I had ADD until our son was diagnosed at 5 years old (and I was 28). I am grateful I had parents that didn't label me, and by the grace of God I learned how to manage my brain, especially in my High School years. I was raised by a Minister and Missionary, so prayer was constant. I may be one of the lucky ones that had parents praying behind the scenes. I will be sending this conversation to my son. Thank you David and may the conversations continue.
This is A Life Changer! I pray that you Continue These segments David Mann because this wasn’t just for the men, this is for the ladies too! If know your loved one is going through something, take the time to Really ask them how are they feeling and let them know before they respond back to be open and honest. We don’t want a shell answer, we want the truth whether it hurts or not. For those of us asking the question, remember your loved one is already in a vulnerable state, so please be patient and prepared to listen with an open mind and heart. This means be quiet and allow them to speak freely without judgement. Thank you for doing this live show. I shared this with my son who also enjoyed watching. He said this opened his eyes to a lot of different perspectives he was not aware of. ❤
Wow this was incredible episode the quest and the the things talk about dealing with mental health was so important its open my eyes to lot things why black men's have hard time in personal life rather they single or married this program so helpful this going good start for more black men's open up about their personal issues i feel more that have episodes like this will definitely be improvement in black man relationships Thanks David Mann for this outstanding episode
Yes, everyone has an uncle Buddy that attends every event and leaves you praying he'll sit down before the bride sees him. Or that aunt Lucy that dances with everyone whether they want to or not. But they do so because she's clearly had too much to drink.
I’m a woman ❤ this was soo amazing to look at!! I was locked in 100% thank you so so much for stepping out on faith and sharing your truth! This is much needed and it need to be heard 🙏🏾
Thank you for this. Im sending this to my son and all my male family and friends. As a mom and a wife, I just want to ack like big mama and give hugs. Thank you guys again for sharing your stories. Special thanks to Mr. DAVID MANN for the platform. ❤
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAVID MANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! God bless you brothers, who showed up to have honest conversation publicly!!!!! I definitely can tell that Kirk has been in counseling for years. The clarity in which he speaks! I hope men are tuning in.... and LADIES tell the fellas (man, brother, uncle, father, etc.) in you life about the conversation.
Keep Real Jesus This Good To See Mans Open Up It Helping Some Other MENS In Womens Get To See Mens Express HOW THEY REAL Feel, Cause We Need To No What Really Gone On With Our MENS,, So With This Show Like This Will Give , EYE Open My Church Belivie In MENTAL Health In Encourage You To Seek A Therapy, If You Still Struggle With your Problems
"*"🙏"Great Job Mr. Mann. This was an AWE'🤩'SOME Event Even Though It Is "labeled" and "directed" towards *"Mental Health"* and Truly focused on *"Mental HEALTH"* (*Well'ness*) and Not *"Mental *Ill'ness"* because many do not know that there "IS" a "major" difference. The fact that there was "humor" and "commaraderie" as well as the "more pointed issues* that were shared truly ..... *"clarified that"*. The truth of the matter "too" is that "your male voices" were heard on a major scale and you "stayed focused" on the topic "at hand" about a major topic from the mouths of "consistently "🙏" versed" *"black" ..... "men"* which is, has been and obviously..... will be ..... a "major deficiency" in our community. But "hearing" that its "OK" to "seek" out "comfortable" counseling coupled with *your faith* is a *Key* and *Major Enlighten'ment* for Moving Forward In *This* and *Similar* Arenas. Thank GOD For The Manifestation of John 8: 32 in and on "this" plat'form. "*"🙏"GOD'S Contin'u'🤜'al "BLESS'🤲'INGS" For You and Yours ..... *Mr. Mann*
This series is life changing!! Black men conversing & demonstrating healthy authentic vulnerability will change generations.
The biggest reason why black people did not have or the church mental health is because of money. Mental health is just now being covered and still is not fully covered as medical health. The church has been wanting therapy.That's why they've been wearing the pastor out with counseling. In the past pastors have counseled for free or with little love offerings. Therapy normally starts at $250 for the assessment and $150 per session. Economically families just was not able to cover that. So even the way that we speak on the church and what the real problem was, sometimes it's a false narrative. They would say pray about it because there was no answer that they could give. We need to have a conversation about having mental health as a part of health care fully. I need more than 10 sessions. I should not have to stop counseling because my insurance won't cover the other sessions that I need though I pay them every month. They get my money every month so I should be able to have as many sessions as I need.
Why is it that in mega churches, we are not allowed to talk to our pastor? We can only talk to the assistant pastor
Definitely!
David man is really a strong person to be able to face his problems and actually put it out in public for the world to see. That takes a lot of guts and strength.
This is Awesome stuff!
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever seen. Black men keep healing yourselves. This is so powerful. ❤
Revolutionary 👊 thank you David Mann for creating a safe space for Black and Brown men which can help our community be better for future generations 👏🙏🏼❤️

We are working on thx for your support.
@MANNTV I believe that when you started your own journey that's you wanting to help others 🙂
Emotional/mental wellness should be taught in schools.
🌟SN:Can we get non-celebrity males on future episodes?
Thank you so much my brother 🙏. A discussion long overdue.
I would love to be apart of this show and speak my mental health among the brothers how can we be apart to speak out???
I wonder how Israel Houghton doing after his 4 Pastor friends committed suicide? That’s a hard pill to swallow. When you lay down at night I know your mind thought about those friends.

we will get better TOGETHER …… as we heal INDIVIDUALLY
I love this, good conversation
t is great to see black men opening up. i struggle with this aspect in my life. but one day I had to break down to my family. i am not superman
The fact that we as a whole go with “ the church is a business.” , is something we have to work on.💯💯💯💯💯💔💔💯💯. The church is supposed to be the Body of Christ. I had to realize that as well. It took years to realize the church is supposed to be a relationship with other sinners that want to get healthy in Jesus Christ. I figured since we’re in therapy we should get to the truth.❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙏🏽💯
no matter how much money you have these health issuse will come thank you for shading the light 🤑🤑🤑🤩
Great subject so real ❤❤❤❤❤
Yea please keep doing this it is needed. My question is how do you continue to try to help someone that you genuinely love and have been with for over a decade that has been through a severe PTSD situation and they now see every one around them as an enemy? And they refuse to get mental help when they know they absolutely need it!
This is why I have created this show in hopes that seeing our stories will lead other men to get help and tell there stories.
Much Needed!..Great JOB! & To GOD be the Glory!..💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
GOD WE NEEDED THIS
This is great men of God. Thank you for sharing. I got to the end of this and grabbed my Husband and said “let’s go take a walk”. He said yes and now we are exercising. Thanks!
My goodness.. As a therapist and minister, this is loaded on many levels and quite educational.
This was awesome
Needed this! I’ve talked about this in general about our mental health and how we not only as black men but others ignore mens mental health. We matter too!
Wow, this is a really good conversation. I'm a mother of two sons, and listening to these four men talking about mental health issues is a teachable moment for me . As a mother in a black and brown community, I am open to these types of conversations. Thank you all. Keep the conversation going .
As a Black Male counselor I appreciate this content so much!❤❤❤
Like Kirk, I didn't know I had ADD until our son was diagnosed at 5 years old (and I was 28). I am grateful I had parents that didn't label me, and by the grace of God I learned how to manage my brain, especially in my High School years. I was raised by a Minister and Missionary, so prayer was constant. I may be one of the lucky ones that had parents praying behind the scenes. I will be sending this conversation to my son. Thank you David and may the conversations continue.
This is definitely a needed safe space. I still have so many questions and would love to see this conversation continue 💪🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
Dear Jesus thank you for being a mind regulator and a wonderful counselor.
This is A Life Changer! I pray that you Continue These segments David Mann because this wasn’t just for the men, this is for the ladies too! If know your loved one is going through something, take the time to Really ask them how are they feeling and let them know before they respond back to be open and honest. We don’t want a shell answer, we want the truth whether it hurts or not. For those of us asking the question, remember your loved one is already in a vulnerable state, so please be patient and prepared to listen with an open mind and heart. This means be quiet and allow them to speak freely without judgement. Thank you for doing this live show. I shared this with my son who also enjoyed watching. He said this opened his eyes to a lot of different perspectives he was not aware of. ❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND LETTING TAMELA HELP YOU

Wow this was incredible episode the quest and the the things talk about dealing with mental health was so important its open my eyes to lot things why black men's have hard time in personal life rather they single or married this program so helpful this going good start for more black men's open up about their personal issues i feel more that have episodes like this will definitely be improvement in black man relationships Thanks David Mann for this outstanding episode
Fantastic !!! Sent this to the men in my family . It was fun and loved the banter 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, everyone has an uncle Buddy that attends every event and leaves you praying he'll sit down before the bride sees him. Or that aunt Lucy that dances with everyone whether they want to or not. But they do so because she's clearly had too much to drink.
Powerful conversation, awesome to see men sharing and creating a safe space to discuss mental health and wellness. Bravo brothers!
Love, love, Love this!! David keep doing what you are doing. I speak blessings upon this channel in the Powerful name of JESUS!! Great segment!!
Insightful, inspirational. Yes we need more of this. Keep it coming. Thank you brothers

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAVID MANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! God bless you brothers, who showed up to have honest conversation publicly!!!!! I definitely can tell that Kirk has been in counseling for years. The clarity in which he speaks! I hope men are tuning in.... and LADIES tell the fellas (man, brother, uncle, father, etc.) in you life about the conversation.

"*"🙏"Great Job Mr. Mann.
This was an AWE'🤩'SOME Event Even Though It Is "labeled" and "directed" towards *"Mental Health"* and Truly focused on *"Mental HEALTH"* (*Well'ness*) and Not *"Mental *Ill'ness"* because many do not know that there "IS" a "major" difference.
The fact that there was "humor" and "commaraderie" as well as the "more pointed issues* that were shared truly ..... *"clarified that"*.
The truth of the matter "too" is that "your male voices" were heard on a major scale and you "stayed focused" on the topic "at hand" about a major topic from the mouths of "consistently "🙏" versed" *"black" ..... "men"* which is, has been and obviously..... will be ..... a "major deficiency" in our community.
But "hearing" that its "OK" to "seek" out "comfortable" counseling coupled with *your faith* is a *Key* and *Major Enlighten'ment* for Moving Forward In *This* and *Similar* Arenas.
Thank GOD For The Manifestation of John 8: 32 in and on "this" plat'form.
"*"🙏"GOD'S Contin'u'🤜'al "BLESS'🤲'INGS" For You and Yours ..... *Mr. Mann*
This was such a awesome conversation. God bless you all.
Thx God bless you.
