The way your daughter looks at you is every girl’s dream of her relationship with their father. You are hero even with the flaws..She respects and love you. Well done
Praise&Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ MI GOD!! It's makes me see Laterras ìin Whole way. blessing to mi soul to see the Leadership he exudes over his children and man enough to admit his shortcomings. The only time mi data got a whipping was when she sneaked and drank a whole 12pk of 🥤 juicy juices. 😅 No parent is perfect, No child is perfect, No marriage is perfect. But the common denominator here is that all 3 need God,Son& Holy Spirit as a foundation. Periodt!... your data is so BEAUTIFUL, she looks jus like you. Your sons are wise young men. You have done well. No matter if dem stray; will come back to the Word of God you have instilled in dem. We ave to do what is required of us and leave the rest to God. Just like planting a seed and watch the plant or 🌸 grow❤
Wow, your kid's articulation of the conviction of the Word, their ability to articulate their past hurts, and you all's closeness is a testament of your awesome parenting, transparency, and love for them. Keep pushing my brother!
Ohhh!! When Armani said: Cause the Bible says so❗❤❗❤❗ I felt deep joyyyyy. And i pray that no jezabel or no delilah ever comes around him to derail him. He is so intelligent and kind. With a father like this, it is easy for these beautiful children to love our Heavenly Father❤. Excellent job👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Armani is so mature, thoughtful, sounding like a full on Pastor and counselor. Armani seems to be called and chosen; I envision him with a wonderful family and ministry, he is so clear in his convictions and mature in his reasoning. Mr. Whitfield this is a gift your openness and sharing with your family. Thank you.
Ladarrian’s speech pattern and expressive language reminds me of my younger brother who was on 2 different ADHD meds for years. You can tell the speech is there, they just have trouble getting it to come out how they want. Speech therapy helped so much and he was more confident speaking in school and church afterwards. He seems like such a sweet kid.❤️
This is such a vulnerable space to have created with your kids. It is something of a marvel really. Being in your daughter’s shoes, I would be so broken and unburdened to hear my father acknowledge and apologize for his cheating and what that did to me and the family at large. It’s incredible how many of us walk around with dad wounds that hurt even in our adulthood. Your sons are so full of wisdom. Armani, sir!!!! Let’s just pass the offering basket because you were preaching so good. May God keep you and uphold you as you commit yourself to saving yourself for marriage and being faithful in your marriage. And all that at 17??? Wow! I love how you teach your kids about Christ practically - that gifting them when they are so ‘undeserving’. What a teaching on how we are not saved by works, and thus we can never earn His grace. ‘If you know your why You’ll be more intentional with your who Discerning about your what Patient with your when And submitted to your where’ (I was expecting you to repeat this powerful phrase but you just went right on 😅. I replayed that part so I could catch it and sit with it). Your unconventional fatherhood is healing. I wish more fathers and parents in general would learn to apologize to their kids for things that they did that impacted them negatively. Such a wonderful family you’ve built. Way to leave a legacy! (Also, how lucky am I today? This timing works for some of us on the other side of the world 😊)
You know i always felt a way towards ADOPTIONS. I ALWAYS WANTED TO NATURALLY BIRTH MY.CHILD.BUT LIKE ARMANI SAID THERE ARE ALOT OF KIDS THAT ARE JUST ALONE AND NEED SOME HELP.. SO WHO KNOWS IF THAT IS MY ROUTE BUT GOD.WILL SHOW ME IF THATS THE WAY. CONGRADS WITH THAT PROCESS AND.MANY BLESSINGS ALONG THE WAY.
This was so amazing... I love the transparency with your children. It is changing the narrative that parent's are perfect, when we are flawed human beings who do not always get it right. Thank you for this podcast.
Armani is such a gem God is totally using him, Laterras my son was diagnose with ADHD it does cause lost of appetite. And yes I really enjoyed this Podcast thank you for always keeping it “LIT” 🙌🏽💯❤️
Yes and it gives me hope that my godmothers nephew can be in a better place like LaDarrion, he also has ADHA but the way LaDarrion interacts with people show me anything is possible and you cannot count out people with ADHD.
Just wanted to tell you are a great father...it was good to see a man who actually listens to his children and shows the love of Christ in how you respond to them ...I know that because the Lord hears our prayers and answers them...I look forward to your podcasts they are informative, informational, so many teachable moments thank you for allowing God to use you.
“If you know your why, you’ll be more intentional with your who, discerning about your what, patient with your when, and submitted to your where.” This resonates with what I recently heard about choosing the right person. The reminder is that our choices last beyond the now. It will impact your legacy. 🤔 I can’t wait until you unpack this more.
This episode has sooo many layers to it! I love that kids are provided a voice and are able to speak freely. This level of vulnerability and transparency is what’s needed in order for us to truly heal. I am praying for only God’s best in your family as you all prepare and position yourselves for your future wifey.
This was a powerful episode.. many takeaways. Your “whys” are amazing and a reflection of God’s love for and through you. The transparency was real! Much love, healing, and peace to you all especially during the holiday season.
All of your children are absolutely amazing! They are great examples of leaders and are destined for great things! I love your dynamic! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Just when I think I’ve seen my favorite episode, Laterras tops it every time! This was absolutely amazing. 🥰 There’s nothing like the love of a father. ❤️
This episode was so beautiful to watch! I absolutely loved the way you allowed your children to express their feelings about things that most parents would have deemed off limits. It explains the level of honor and respect they have for you. I am a Social Work Supervisor in Foster Care, so I am extremely proud to see you provide a godly example and forever family for Armani and LeDerrian. May God bless you with the woman to be the wife you need and the mother they need!
Thank you, Sharon. And a special thank you for your work in foster care. Most people have no idea the things you witness and the mental toll it takes on you.
This was such an incredible episode to watch between a black dad and his kids. The grace of giving them gifts even when they were misbehaving was probably my fave part. May this inspire more conversations / communication between dads and their kids cause the world definitely needs more of this kind of interactions. Definitely top 5 fave episode that you've ever done. Blessings upon blessings
Wow, I love this. This was an example of communicating with your children and giving validity to how they feel. Many children are still raised to blindly obey commands, engage minimally with adults, and not to be heard. They are isolated in their rooms and on their electronic devices unable to just be heard. Thanks for sharing.
There's power in transparency and vulnerability with your children. There's power when parents allow them to have input....Way to go King! Keep being the purposeful parent! I so understand and can relate!
You know how in church they say, "there is such a sweet spirit in this place"? Well that's how I feel about this podcast! The Holy Spirit is all up and through these episodes! This was beautiful! Thank you for including us in this moment! So much to say but I'll just leave it there!
I was and am still very transparent with my daughter. After two divorces, I gave my life to Christ and built a personal relationship with God. I was committed and sacrificed a lot raising her alone. I thought this was the best way to teach her about celibacy, however, my daughter’s transparency shared that I never showed her “how to have a relationship” It felt like a low blow but she married at 25 as a virgin and has learned that no matter what I was or was not able to teach her Marriage is developed by the union. She gets it after 5yrs of marriage, motherhood and as a business owner 😊I really love your Podcasts! Giving me courage to finally start my own
Wow!! That's a true example of "All things work together". I'm glad you gave your life to Jesus, amd I'm so proud of your daughter 🖤 I know you are so grateful! Continued Blessings 🙏🏽
This episode is wonderful...To see these young people in their honest assessment of their Dad. Just SO TOUCHING. I HOPE Laterras finds the most amazing wife...to join his most amazing family AND HIS HEALED HEART ❤️💙💙
Armani's pure heart had me screaming to God! I pray that God will protect all of your children's hearts. God bless all of you. Thank you all for being so honest. I love the bond that you all have with each other.
Great Episode!! There are always challenges within a family, however, your relationship with your kids is a healthy one. I love the communication, grace, guidance, and support that they give each other.
This episode is my favorite episode. Because it shows us the man that you we're and the man that you are today. And the man that you are becoming. You have done such a great job raising your daughter. She is very humble. And you are raising your sons to be great men. Armani is very intelligent. And I can see that he has a huge calling God is already using him.
I too wanted to experience and make sure my marriage was healthy for my daughters, who are for sure my "why", and it ended in my husband cheating on us and fathering a baby while we were married... I guess we make ourselves self-righteous and the marriage an idol...because God knows us He allows the dismantling of those idols and brings us back into alignment with Him. Healing is a hard process after trauma but much needed...❤
Love this! Gives me a whole new perspective on him and to see his kids and how he raised his daughter and the integrity of the young man ....Well done👏👏👏👏👏
I don't know how I missed this episode. I am a faithful fan and SUBSCRIBER... It is one of my favorite episodes thus far. My children and I have this kind of relationship. Me and my daughter were just laughing about when she was younger and her brother tried arguing. She would say. And I quote.. "mama said this is a house of peace."
Beautiful!!! You are so fortunate to have those children. That Armani.....he has such an old soul. Each episode keeps topping the one before. I am holding my breath to see what's next. Tuned in from Guyana 🇬🇾 South America
Awesome episode! It was good seeing the transparency you have with your family. Developing a solid foundation is not just between a husband and a wife: but, includes the children we are responsible for as well. Many of us grew up hearing the famous statement by our parents "stay out of grown folk business." Your daughter thought you were perfect! By you sharing your flaw concerning your divorce, I believe helped her dispel the myth of how she viewed you, which was unrealistic. It's beautiful to see that open honesty, about your mistakes and failures, have brought you and your children to a place of healing. Thanks for sharing with us 'Your Why'!
WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! To hear your son say, "The bible says sex outside of marriage is sin against your body" made me take pause. I RARELY if ever hear anyone in Christian circles reference that scripture when speaking about abstinence. People know it's there but are mum. I listen to bishops, preachers and whatever else title people claim say they have a different interpretation when it comes to the unmarried having sex and the bible. Some are quite learned in the scriptures and are adept about justifying unmarried sex.... to that I say... carry on. However, kudos to you sir for your honesty in this area and teaching your young men the Word. It's not just for the girls but for the boys as well.
This episode was AMAZING!!! I absolutely love the relationship between you and your children! 🥰🥰 Thanks for being transparent with us your audience as well as your children. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾You can always tell the real, genuine relationship between parents and children when the children are allowed to speak freely! Keep up the great work! Armani is a thinker, Ladarian is so sensitive and your daughter is beautiful and sensitive and a thinker! You’ve done & are doing an AMAZING job! 💪🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Laterras, you are a king. Thank you for being honest, vulnerable and humble. The way you treat the people you love reflects Christ, and that is inspiring in every way.
I’ve caught this a few years after release…. And just wanted to say Wow! How amazing and such a beautiful relationship within this family. I pray the Lord continues to strengthen your bond. Ughhh….. these kids are precious!!!! Thanks for sharing!
This was my daily dose of Dear Future Wifey. It so nice to see a father have such a great relationship with his children. And sweet how your children are excited and hopeful for you to have wife. I could go on and on but this was a great episode. Be blessed!
This episode was so kindred. It felt a lot like the conversations I have with my daughter and two sons. Your atonement is so beautiful to watch.🤎 I feel led to share James 1:4 which reads...Let perseverance finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 🙏🏾
Laterras, I really enjoyed this podcast with you and your family. Open communication is so important to have with our children, and giving them that "safe" space to openly communicate and express themselves. Thank you. I appreciate you.
He is so wise to be so young. I pray many blessings over your life. You are gonna make some one a great wife. God first over anything else. Armani so proud of you
Those conversations can be tough but needed for healing to take place; after all, our kids are impacted by who we are, have been and will continue to choose to be. It's good to see that kind of setting in display, so thanks for sharing. Best wishes in all your endeavors and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
This was a heartfelt interview, Thank you for being Transparent. If we don't confront our stumbles in the road we can't fix them. I can relate to being open and honest with my now (3 young adults) children after my divorce and different decisions made throughout the years. May God continue to Bless you and your family ❤ 🥰❤
“If you know your Why you’ll be more intentional with your Who, discerning about your What, patient with your When, and submitted to your Where.” I just needed to write it out so that I can see it!!! ❤🔥🤯🙌🏽
Beautiful and well raised kids. Great relationships with each of your children. So loving and refreshing to see a family that can have a genuine and candid conversation. Armani is the family comedian. Stay LIT
Loving the transparency of you and your Why’s and how you revealed the Grace of God in this family!! What a blessing you are to your children and to all who hear your truths on these platforms!! I’ve also considered adopting and will keep it on my radar. I also LOVE your letter to your Future Wifey!! I haven’t seen many men who articulate your heart as you do, even among men of God!!! You future wifey will be incredibly blessed as your new Why and the Glory of the Lord will shine upon that covenant!!! Blessings to you & yours Always!!!
You have wonderful and smart kids,I love how deep they are,your style of parenting is amazing.I love the fact that you are intentional. This was a good one.
Great episode......God is a great restorer! Love your heart, honesty and willingness to listen and grow as a parent. Thank you as always for obeying God and starting this podcast. It has been a wonderful blessing to tune in💞
I absolutely LOVE the relationship THAT you HAVE with your children & I pray THAT the man I get, WILL BE this way!!! U are such an AMAZING parent & POTENTIAL partner ❤️ Thank you Laterras, FOR sharing your family with US.
The vulnerability you've had with your children is beautiful Laterras. By being that way you have taught your children to love you fully and completely.
I appreciate your content so much. It brings tears of joy to my eyes. I've always wanted to have this level of open transparency with my parents. I am currently building myself up to be in a place where I am fearless enough or "whole" enough to address the pain of my childhood and this was just heavensent to confirm my path is true and right. Thank you so much.
The way your daughter looks at you is every girl’s dream of her relationship with their father. You are hero even with the flaws..She respects and love you. Well done
Yes in agreement
So true
Amen.
One more thing--- having a dad whose presence is felt and known in his children's lives is priceless!
Amen
Indeed
Praise&Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ MI GOD!! It's makes me see Laterras ìin Whole way. blessing to mi soul to see the Leadership he exudes over his children and man enough to admit his shortcomings. The only time mi data got a whipping was when she sneaked and drank a whole 12pk of 🥤 juicy juices. 😅 No parent is perfect, No child is perfect, No marriage is perfect.

Beautiful episode I love how Armani is so passionate about God at a young age, we need more young Kings like him🙌🏽🙏🏽
@Armani Green Amen the lord is blessing and doing a new thing with your generation, keep the faith young King 👑
May God cover, bless and use Armani mightily in Jesus name.
⁹
Wow, your kid's articulation of the conviction of the Word, their ability to articulate their past hurts, and you all's closeness is a testament of your awesome parenting, transparency, and love for them. Keep pushing my brother!
Amen. Thank you
Ohhh!! When Armani said: Cause the Bible says so❗❤❗❤❗ I felt deep joyyyyy.
And i pray that no jezabel or no delilah ever comes around him to derail him. He is so intelligent and kind.
With a father like this, it is easy for these beautiful children to love our Heavenly Father❤.
Excellent job👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Armani is such an thinker. He thought everything through. Nope don't want that. He blessed me....most grown people don't think that deep.
God is raising up a new generation of men that will honor Him and their families! Thank you Lord!
Amen!
Amen I'm raising one right now 🙏🏿
Amen🙌🏾
Talking, communication and fun. Keys to successful growth of teens. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏.
Yes HE is!!!!
Armani is so mature, thoughtful, sounding like a full on Pastor and counselor. Armani seems to be called and chosen; I envision him with a wonderful family and ministry, he is so clear in his convictions and mature in his reasoning. Mr. Whitfield this is a gift your openness and sharing with your family. Thank you.
I agree
The way you love and support your children is so beautiful. I love that you're a man that can cry and admit your wrongs. Loved this.
Lord, bless Laterras with a wonderful wife!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one in particular. The kids were so open, transparent and unintentionally funny. You are doing an amazing job with them.
Thank you. Those are my heartbeats.
Yes! I really agree.

Beautifully stated!! And I totally agree🥰🥰
Wow!!! Thank you so much for this well thought out comment. I plan on digging deeper in that quote at a later time. Lol.
@@marlow.5931 thank you 😊
@@DearFutureWifey you better! Can’t wait for that deep dive into it.
Your episodes on adoption made me research and inquire to fulfill that desire of mine. Look forward to adopting in the future.
Praise God
You know i always felt a way towards ADOPTIONS. I ALWAYS WANTED TO NATURALLY BIRTH MY.CHILD.BUT LIKE ARMANI SAID THERE ARE ALOT OF KIDS THAT ARE JUST ALONE AND NEED SOME HELP..

Thank you so much!
Having your kids on your podcast and allowing them to keep it real. Thanks awesome 😊
Wisdom and Anointing on Armani
I agree 😊
LaDarrion kept mentioning his medication. It sounds like that was something that he has transitioned from and is now doing well. That’s awesome! 👏🏾❤️
Armani is such a gem God is totally using him, Laterras my son was diagnose with ADHD it does cause lost of appetite. And yes I really enjoyed this Podcast thank you for always keeping it “LIT” 🙌🏽💯❤️
Yes and it gives me hope that my godmothers nephew can be in a better place like LaDarrion, he also has ADHA but the way LaDarrion interacts with people show me anything is possible and you cannot count out people with ADHD.

Amen. To God be the glory
I have been watching your podcast over a week and it so refreshing and inspiring. The relationship you have with your children is beautiful. 😍
Armani preached that thang!
Armani is brilliant! I love your family dynamic.
“If you know your why, you’ll be more intentional with your who, discerning about your what, patient with your when, and submitted to your where.” This resonates with what I recently heard about choosing the right person. The reminder is that our choices last beyond the now. It will impact your legacy. 🤔
I can’t wait until you unpack this more.
Love the transparency and vulnerability. Beautiful children inside and out
This episode has sooo many layers to it! I love that kids are provided a voice and are able to speak freely. This level of vulnerability and transparency is what’s needed in order for us to truly heal. I am praying for only God’s best in your family as you all prepare and position yourselves for your future wifey.
Not shacking with the show!!! I love the opening, as you told LaTerria to be L.I.T. and that telling the bad stuff is where you learn, a lot.
This was a powerful episode.. many takeaways. Your “whys” are amazing and a reflection of God’s love for and through you. The transparency was real! Much love, healing, and peace to you all especially during the holiday season.
This podcast was phenomenal. Your children were a pleasure to listen to. Armani’s embrace and love for God’s word is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you
All of your children are absolutely amazing! They are great examples of leaders and are destined for great things! I love your dynamic! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Just when I think I’ve seen my favorite episode, Laterras tops it every time! This was absolutely amazing. 🥰 There’s nothing like the love of a father. ❤️

I so LOVED this episode ! The open and honest---transparent conversation with your children.
I love the relationship that you have with your kids and how they respect you as a single parent.
O my God this young man has the word of God in him powerful he has the fear of God in him
I've been telling him that.
This is what a healthy family looks like to me. Great conversation to listen to.
Armani's wisdom is a gift to this world. What a beautiful family!
You know how in church they say, "there is such a sweet spirit in this place"? Well that's how I feel about this podcast! The Holy Spirit is all up and through these episodes! This was beautiful! Thank you for including us in this moment! So much to say but I'll just leave it there!

Armani's pure heart had me screaming to God! I pray that God will protect all of your children's hearts. God bless all of you. Thank you all for being so honest. I love the bond that you all have with each other.
Great Episode!! There are always challenges within a family, however, your relationship with your kids is a healthy one. I love the communication, grace, guidance, and support that they give each other.
With every new episode I think it’s my favorite 🙊, but this is one of my favorite. Armani has so much wisdom for a boy his age
This was sooooooooooo rich and authentic!!! Thank you so much for this. I plan to show it to my nephew.
Thank you
this conversation was so raw and personal. I loved it. I love how much i am learning from this podcast
God is with you, sir. You are doing, and have done, a wonderful job with your arrows. ❤️
Thank you kindly
I love this episode! Your children are amazing! Armani is wise beyond his years and so fortunate to have you as a father.
This episode is my favorite episode. Because it shows us the man that you we're and the man that you are today. And the man that you are becoming. You have done such a great job raising your daughter. She is very humble. And you are raising your sons to be great men. Armani is very intelligent. And I can see that he has a huge calling God is already using him.

Your daughter is so beautiful!
I cried while u were reading the letter... You're always in my prayers. May God bless you
Love this! Gives me a whole new perspective on him and to see his kids and how he raised his daughter and the integrity of the young man ....Well done👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much
Very beautiful episode. It was a joy hearing LaTerria, Armani, and LaDarrion speak alongside their dad.
I don't know how I missed this episode. I am a faithful fan and SUBSCRIBER... It is one of my favorite episodes thus far. My children and I have this kind of relationship. Me and my daughter were just laughing about when she was younger and her brother tried arguing. She would say. And I quote.. "mama said this is a house of peace."
😂😂😂😂
I love the transparency and relationships. Not just between you and the kids but between them as siblings. ❤
This young man is HILARIOUS!!!! This was so raw and real and just transparent! Never have I ever heard such raw conversation!
Thank you so much.
Beautiful!!! You are so fortunate to have those children. That Armani.....he has such an old soul. Each episode keeps topping the one before. I am holding my breath to see what's next. Tuned in from Guyana 🇬🇾 South America
Wow! Thank you for this raw, honest and transparent episode. I’m a single mother of a toddler and I learned a lot of vital gems on parenting.
You are so welcome!
Awesome episode! It was good seeing the transparency you have with your family. Developing a solid foundation is not just between a husband and a wife: but, includes the children we are responsible for as well.

It's beautiful to see that open honesty, about your mistakes and failures, have brought you and your children to a place of healing. Thanks for sharing with us 'Your Why'!
Thanks bro. I even shared my infidelity with my daughter while we were still married.
Wow, this episode was amazing and I hope it inspires especially fathers to do more in their children’s lives. God bless you and your family
WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! To hear your son say, "The bible says sex outside of marriage is sin against your body" made me take pause.

This episode was truly L.I.T. Grateful that you allow us to see into your journey, both joys and sorrows.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have watched this like 5 times! This is such a beautiful dynamic and the way God has blended this family 👑🌺
This episode was AMAZING!!! I absolutely love the relationship between you and your children! 🥰🥰 Thanks for being transparent with us your audience as well as your children. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾You can always tell the real, genuine relationship between parents and children when the children are allowed to speak freely! Keep up the great work! Armani is a thinker, Ladarian is so sensitive and your daughter is beautiful and sensitive and a thinker! You’ve done & are doing an AMAZING job! 💪🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
I loved this episode! Beautiful! You can tell they feel safe! Which shows love! You have an excellent “why!”
Come on young man preach!! This is so beautiful. As a youth minister this has truly been a blessing.
Laterras, you are a king. Thank you for being honest, vulnerable and humble. The way you treat the people you love reflects Christ, and that is inspiring in every way.
Love this, the transparency and the willingness to talk about difficult situations as a family! Awesome
Laterria, Armani & LeDarrian THANK YOU SO MUCH for your openness & opinions, BEING TRULY (LIT) with each other & your dad.
I’ve caught this a few years after release…. And just wanted to say Wow! How amazing and such a beautiful relationship within this family. I pray the Lord continues to strengthen your bond. Ughhh….. these kids are precious!!!! Thanks for sharing!
This is by far my favorite podcast (for many reasons). “Knowing my why”
This was my daily dose of Dear Future Wifey. It so nice to see a father have such a great relationship with his children. And sweet how your children are excited and hopeful for you to have wife. I could go on and on but this was a great episode. Be blessed!
This episode was so kindred. It felt a lot like the conversations I have with my daughter and two sons. Your atonement is so beautiful to watch.🤎
I feel led to share James 1:4 which reads...Let perseverance finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 🙏🏾
It’s such a blessing to have a father create a safe space for his children to freely speak and be honest about their feelings🙌
Laterras, I really enjoyed this podcast with you and your family. Open communication is so important to have with our children, and giving them that "safe" space to openly communicate and express themselves. Thank you. I appreciate you.
It's imperative to provide a safe space for our children.
Ah-Mazzzzzzzz-Ing‼️ So Much Compassion & Love. This Episode Put My Heart On FULL!
Armani is such an insightful young man. You’re doing an amazing job as a Father LaTerras
I love the relationship you have with your daughter. So transparent, so freeing. It's very beautiful. Thank you for opening us up to your family.
He is so wise to be so young. I pray many blessings over your life. You are gonna make some one a great wife. God first over anything else. Armani so proud of you
Armani is so smart! This episode was deep and open. I love the clarity you enforce amongst your kids.
This was such a blessing to see, especially from the lens of such a diverse age group. Thank you for being LIT!!
Our pleasure!
Am really delighted to have come across this pod in particular. King your blessings are beautiful. Be encouraged. #praying
Those conversations can be tough but needed for healing to take place; after all, our kids are impacted by who we are, have been and will continue to choose to be. It's good to see that kind of setting in display, so thanks for sharing. Best wishes in all your endeavors and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
This is a beautiful episode and the transparency and vulnerability
This was a heartfelt interview, Thank you for being Transparent. If we don't confront our stumbles in the road we can't fix them. I can relate to being open and honest with my now (3 young adults) children after my divorce and different decisions made throughout the years. May God continue to Bless you and your family ❤ 🥰❤
“If you know your Why you’ll be more intentional with your Who, discerning about your What, patient with your When, and submitted to your Where.” I just needed to write it out so that I can see it!!! ❤🔥🤯🙌🏽
Beautiful and well raised kids. Great relationships with each of your children. So loving and refreshing to see a family that can have a genuine and candid conversation. Armani is the family comedian. Stay LIT
Loving the transparency of you and your Why’s and how you revealed the Grace of God in this family!! What a blessing you are to your children and to all who hear your truths on these platforms!! I’ve also considered adopting and will keep it on my radar. I also LOVE your letter to your Future Wifey!! I haven’t seen many men who articulate your heart as you do, even among men of God!!! You future wifey will be incredibly blessed as your new Why and the Glory of the Lord will shine upon that covenant!!! Blessings to you & yours Always!!!
Laterras, you inspire me to be a better person. Thank you for what you are and for this podcast. It is my therapy.
Praise God
I truly enjoyed this episode. You have beautiful and respectful children. I love the way your daughter looks at you - so heartwarming

In tears. This is a beautiful episode.
To God be the glory.
Awwww your daughter’s wish for you getting a wife just made me teary. That’s beautiful
I know. It was beautiful.
I absolutely LOVE the relationship THAT you HAVE with your children & I pray THAT the man I get, WILL BE this way!!!
U are such an AMAZING parent & POTENTIAL partner ❤️
Thank you Laterras, FOR sharing your family with US.
The vulnerability you've had with your children is beautiful Laterras. By being that way you have taught your children to love you fully and completely.
I appreciate your content so much. It brings tears of joy to my eyes. I've always wanted to have this level of open transparency with my parents. I am currently building myself up to be in a place where I am fearless enough or "whole" enough to address the pain of my childhood and this was just heavensent to confirm my path is true and right. Thank you so much.
Walk in freedom
