When men are vulnerable and emotionally intelligent enough to understand life is more than the material things they own, they become better people & this world is a better place. I liked the dialogue between the two bc it was a nonjudgmental, safe space. Thety both were genuine & authentic…Super informative conversation! I’m sending this to my man now 🥰
Women do not care if men are vulnerable and emotionally intelligent if he isn't attractive to a woman physically or financially .
Women put us in that position of making material things a priority. We will sit and cry and then come in to a woman that either do not support you or they trash us. Women pit us against other men as a source of competition. Hey if I can't get from you I will have another man in my pocket. I know because each marriage I've had ended with them sleeping with other men. However women don't want to take accountability that they are the influences that destroy or make men.
Men should not become women.
The good Sis said she had to abandoned the PLAN to jump into the VISION… bars 🔥 🙌🏾
You must have a plan in order to bring the vision to reality.....
I learned to not be afraid of giving your whole self because when you don't, it blocks you from trusting God and receiving His blessings in your life.
Great word. I needed it awesome 😊
Give your whole self to God only 😘SOME people will use you up and that's why you shouldn't give your whole self to people 😘🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
“When you’re with someone who inspires you, you won’t want to compete with them. To compete with them would be to stop their momentum in the earth!” 🔥😮
This! 🙌🏽
Right ! So if they do compete what does that say 🤔
What really touched me was when Sarah spoke about how her husband asked her how can he serve her. Men don't really understand how that can reveal the vulnerability in a woman with how she can trust Him and love him in a way that he does not know when he honors and protects her.
i’ve learned that i don’t have to dim my light to make room for a man, but we can help each other shine brighter together rather than apart.
Elaborate, "" dim your light""
Woooow, during the dating phase, and ya'll on the phone, if the man says "hold on my assistant is calling" then he merges the call, THAT is a sincere man of vulnerability! He welcomes you wholeheartedly into his world!NOW they have a blissful marriage of almost 10 years
Sarah dropped a ton of gems!!! Anthony, until you remove the "cloak of fear" of being taken advantage of by a woman, you will not find your purpose partner. Please get out of your own way! Sarah said it best : Trust God with the entire process!! Trust him with the confirmation when he identifies the person for you. Do not control what the person will be later and what the outcome will be. Give your all and show up whole heartedly in the relationship. Please take these gems to heart.
“I wasn’t afraid to get married to Him because he brought all of him to the relationship”. When she said that, I immediately could relate. I remember being scared of marriage till I met my husband. He effortlessly included me in his life and made it clear my please that I didn’t have to ask or wonder. Ladies, when a man seriously wants you, you will know. You won’t wonder your place in his life💕. And I’m thankful for the interviewer’s willingness to be vulnerable, that made the whole interview relatable and smooth…
You can’t compite with something that make u better
This episode is a public and whole therapy
I learned that as a woman you don't have to dissolve your identity when you become of service to your partner
This was an eye opening statement for me because I can truly relate. God bless you and thanks.
I needed it😊
I learned that you can’t compete with something that makes you better
Even though I am turning 60 this year. Sarah has impacted my life. Thank you❤
One thing I loved about this episode is AO’s transparency about how he realized how his parents story has affected him and I also liked how Sarah talked about how Pastor Toure gave his whole self to her and not first waiting to see if she would do the same. Sooo many gems but these are my favorites. Can’t wait to read the book!
Anthony, You have let go and left God do the work in you. Trust in His mighty power! Stay Blessed.
The one thing I got from this episode was confirmation on giving of my whole self in relationships that I value. I realized that I don't have many regrets when it ends because I had given my best at that moment. Even in the relationship I am in, I'm not scared to communicate my needs or set clear boundaries anymore because I am trusting God to move and reveal His Will for my life. This was a beautiful episode, well done guys!
❤She gets straight to the point! I love her Authenticity and Truth. She is Spiritually inclined and Authentically Standing In Her Truth of who God is to Her✨🙏🙌
As a mother wound healing coach, I’m so grateful they revisited the last conversation and unpacked the root cause of those beliefs about women. I hope AO has more conversations with men about how mothers shape their perceptions & expectations of women, and how the mother wound impacts (and often stands in the way of) romantic relationships. Just as wounded women often project their pain (daddy issues, mama trauma, etc.) onto the men they date, men do the same to us. Yet, it’s rarely discussed because we don’t offer enough space to address the mother wound. It’s very real and until we heal our inner child, it will keep us stuck in limiting beliefs. While we can honor our mothers for who they are, we have to be honest about some of the damage they caused and how it’s affecting our every day ADULT lives. ❤️🙏🏾
I wish I could like your comment 1000 times. Definitely need to have momma trauma conversations more.
One thing ive learnt from today's show is that we're better together..Power Moves but more than that..together it multiplies!!
The most important revelation that I got from the show is that God is trying to get the power to us but it's being clamped off by trauma, shame , and pride etc ... I would really love a copy of her book ..POWER MOVES ... I BELIEVE IT COULD REALLY HELP ME ON MY JOURNEY..
I appreciate Sarah mentioning all the conversations that have already happened with women. She inspires me to continue embracing my strength in the powerful Name of our Lord. I've had the experience of ppl wanting to dim my light and diminish my value, to fit into their little box. I'm done with that. Thank you, Sarah, for inspiring and encouraging women.
I learned that I have to allow myself to be humble so that it removes the pressure of me performing perfectly as a wife, mom, professional, etc. Once I accept the absence of perfection, I would experience liberation.
The most powerful thing I received from the interview is when Sarah said being willing to give all yourself to a relationship even if it does or doesn't work . Making that decision to overcome your fears. Also, you could be missing out on expanding your territory when you hold back. Praise God for giving her the ability to articulate it in a way everyone can receive it. Thanks for challenging many to confront their fears and convey what they could be missing if they don't.
I love when SarahJake said, “You can't compete with someone that can make you better”!!! how can I serve you? That is very very deep. It makes me look at myself how I choose to date and who I choose to date from now on.
being transparent, honest, & open as well as involved makes relationships better
This
I resonate with you on not being your true self in friendships and being a private person. Those are two things I struggle with.
This was A LOT of confirmation for me. I’m a successful, divorced, mother of 1. Choosing to invest in myself and my daughter, until she leaves for college, has been an unpopular decision. What resonated most with me was her statement to you, “You will be grateful when you finish this journey, that you didn’t get married from this place.” All the healing, learning, and discovery during this season, has created the firm foundation needed for building he and I will do in our season. Excited to see you and yours in your future season too!
I’ve been saying for over 20 years that we need consistent platforms that empower men to evolve! There are many offerings for women-let’s establish and maintain them for our men! Love this!!
Wow! Thank you so much for having her on, she's a great communicator!! The way she broke down how the power of God is often limited in our life really hit me. God bless her!
I learned to face my fears, and go for it! Don’t allow anyone to dim my light! Vulnerability is strength not a weakness!
What I loved and learned from todays episode is that it is up to me to make the decision to show up for me in this life time in order to POWER MOVE in every area that GOD has created and willed for ME. Thank you for Blessing me and the community . You both are POWER HOUSES and thank you for being obedient in sharing your gifts to the world. GOD's PEACE, LOVE, & PROSPERITY to you both. P.S. I would definitely love a copy of POWER MOVES .
Amen on the messages for women. We have the training. Now it is the men. This doesn't mean to dump on them, but reevaluate the family structure. Love it.
What I learned today from your chat on Sarah's book is that it's not too late to define some things in my marriage. Going on 20 years of marriage, and I feel things are still untapped in our journey. It's time to tap into that power and stop resisting.
I received this word for me😊
“How may I serve you?” Wow. Mutual respect. Complete collaboration and support. Zero competition. Praise God!!
I loved how Sarah share the example of Toure's transparency and him merging the call with his assistant. Women want an need to feel safe in a relationship and thus was a great example of how men can facilitate that safety. 🥰
The most powerful interview on this platform, ever. I do see your growth Mr. O'Neal.
Absolutely loved this interview!
Im so glad I watch this. Audio would've not done justice to this message. I'm going to get this book for me. To work on me
This was so so good! I was blessed today!❤️
This was SO powerful!! Thank you!!
Great interview! Love the transparency and vulnerability! 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this interview!
I learned that I have the power to not allow past experiences of my family to define me. I have the power to make my own choices.
I had to watch this 3 times to catch all the gems. This was a much needed, comprehensive, thoughtful, fulfilling discussion that gave me verbiage for my current space of life. Thank you for this! Buying the book today!
First time watching! Awesome! Will definitely listen again!
👏🏽👏🏽Thank you Sarah Jake Roberts
I loved this show & the eye opening resolve it brought to me & your audience. I got the whole picture from Sarah’s view & straight forward voice & Anthony opening up and being vulnerable. As an older viewer ( I follow AO & Sarah) I’m sending this show to my four adult children. Thank you 🙏🏽 thank you.🙏🏽 😊❤love this channel.
Loved this episode!!!!!
I loved how you both discussed the importance of having the strong connection with your spouse to come together and support each others purpose!
The thing I learned is that power is not about what you have, but the power that you have within yourself. I have a lot of things going on in my life, but the most heaviest is that my father is dying from an aggressive rare cancer and it has me all messed up. Thank you for this show because I am truly having to find the power within me.
Absolutely great interview. Loved the authenticity of both Sara and Anthony ❤
This was so good!
Power is not about arriving it’s about becoming. If we’re not showing up in our power then we are waisting our inheritance as the children of God. .. major bars Great Show 🫡
A much-needed episode I will watch this again and also get the book
He’s thinking about so many worldly things. These women don’t want this. I don’t even know what he offers outside of his business, because he talks about it so much. I said something similar on the last episode they did together. I want him to focus on healing the poverty mindset and the fact that someone might take it away (even if God gave it to him).
I learned to appreciate my journey and to appreciate his and how we've met at this point in the journey to be strengthening and vulnerable, and they're both great and needed. This interview is going on my playlist! It has so many nuggets of wisdom and AO, I appreciate your transparency. This was real talk 😃
This is so very good! I love hearing her speak about how her and PT first meet. It is so inspiring. Hang in there! You're boo thang is on the way too! You have a great heart and loving spirit. I have got to start back watching you more often. Finances isn't my strong area and I need it to be much sooner than later. Thank you for sharing your personal journey! Much respect!
Sarah is speaking, and I'm listening! Thank you!! 👏🏽 ❤
AWESOME CONVERSATION SO MANY GEMS 💎 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I love how she stated about not completing with each other but more of building together and having someone to hold onto. Also, there are two strong people individually.but knowing when each other is needed. I was working and listening at the same But will go back and listen again!
Just ordered her book after listening to this. Thanks AO for this interview!
I have learned from both of you. Sarah Jakes Roberts: "Power is about to be becoming in each of us regardless of........If we don't show up in our power, we are wasting our inheritance as the children of God." Anthony ONeal: "Ladies Build, and do what God calls you to do." I used to think a man should take care of me, that is his job as a male provider. Now, God's grace, and listening to Sarah Jakes Roberts changed my perspective.
I love the healthy introspection that is happening in this conversation.
One of the most powerful statement for me was the dynamic illustrations of the "Water Balloon " as God's power goes inside us, we expand to greatness "!!! Love the entire message. One of my favorite!💞🙏
This is hands DOWN the best video I have watched on your channel. This is most authentic, non bitter, non judgmental version of you that I have seen. You are listening, taking criticism and genuinely seeking knowledge. I found you from your from time on Dave Ramsey, and I naturally followed you because you are a black man, but in all honesty as a black woman I did not feel like this space was always for me outside of your financial acumen, however, this growth is inspiring and I look forward to more "post therapy" conversations like this one. God Bless You and always believe that God loves you enough to save the one He made for you. She is out there and with this growth probably near❤.
So powerful. Some many things that I can apply to my life. Must listen again and take notes. Anthony, you are in my prayers. Trust the process...God's got you.
I loved how you listened. It was beautiful to watch you expand in front of us.
My book will be here tomorrow! I’m soooo excited. I learned too much to list in a comment. But I loved how she was a big sister to u. She didn’t sugar coat but she wasn’t invasive either. I also loved that u weren’t scared of the work. U might end up being on the panel at Men Evolved! 😊
This interview had me on a Emotional Rollercoaster ride. First time hearing Sarah. I had to hear it back to back. I'll probably listen to it again. I have learned is my power has been lost for sometime. Been struggling probably since Covid. The best thing during that time. Was I got married to my beautiful wife. Things were great, until I changed. Not quite knowing why. Maybe, for being single for 10 years after my first marriage. And not answering to anyone but to myself. Here I am knowing what I got in front of me. And I'm messing it up. I understand when you feel like you lose power, then everything else follows. Would love to feel what a Power Couple feels like fot the first time in my life. I've learned you can't be to comfortable in a relationship. Don't always think everything is OK. But most of the time it's not. Each one in the relationship has got each other's back. Not just one. Sorry if I went on a rant here. Just telling you how I felt after listening. To all the Mothers out there. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! I lost my mother 3 months ago 3 days before my birthday. So this Sunday will be a very difficult day for me.😢 But I'll get through it. 👊😎
Best podcast interview I've listened to in a while. So much truth, wisdom, knowledge.
I learned a power move is actually not having to be in power all the time. I have trust issues as well and this confirmed that I need to stop looking at people for trust but to continually trust in God because no matter what happens: they hurt me, they don’t hurt me, he always has me. Now THAT is power moving! Great show!
He gonna be married soon, she gave him so much to pray about. God used her to expose some truths. I love this!!!
I loved your vulnerability you shared Anthony about the journey you are on… I loved about “Power Moves” that I’m not at my capacity if I have not allowed the power to flow through me.
I just want to thank you so much for having Sarah and for this video. Anthony, thank you for sharing your experience and impact that the book had on you. Your vulnerability and openness is truly a testament of your humility and desire to be a better version of yourself. ❤
Today was my first time ever seen and heard of your show. I just want to say that I admire your ability to identify the root of road blocks in your life. I pray that God continues to heal you from the inside out. Everyone deserves to feel loved and secure. My past decisions didn't hinder me. It molded me for the woman that I needed to be when God sends my husband. Your past has done the same for you. Be blessed ❤.
God Bless you Anthony and all that you do! Thank you so much for this opportunity SO MUCH WISDOM. Can relate to so much being said. P.S. I think we are related O’Neal
Great conversation 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 I've learned from this is to be open and bring your full self!
I never had to question whether he was all in. “It was nothing for him to bring me fully in to his whole world.” “He was such an obvious man of integrity.” Do you realize how necessary that is for building trust relationally? (40 min in)
I really love that you were vulnerable and allowed us into this impromptu therapy session for you. Even in this interview, you allowed power to shift and let Sarah lean in and help you achieve realizations that you may not have if you choose to be stubborn….. good for you, God bless keep doing the good work.
An interview with vulnerability, transparency, and clarity. ♥️
Great advice, Sarah!
This was so good! I can relate to so many of the nuggets dropped. Being able to be a strong woman but have a man that you can be soft around, is MAJOR!
I am in my late 60’s and was having a tough day. God led me to your conversation and I have been blessed. Maybe I will be able to find some answers in Sarah’s book. God richly bless the both of you.
I enjoyed the vulnerability and Antony’s willingness to be open to to not just listen but hear things from a woman’s perspective 💜
Growth!
I totally need this book 📖
Sarah became a therapist in this podcast. Girl you've got it in you.
I loved hearing about the mutual inspiration between Sarah and Tourè. I also loved how she gave advice/feedback in the most loving, graceful way! And I would loooove a copy of her book! ❤🙂🙏🏽
POWERFUL Conversation!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾💯
What I learned and loved about today’s interview is that it is OKAY to be fully available, vulnerable and open to a man in a relationship. I am a widow and I think I lived the “imposter syndrome” throughout that relationship. I was trying to be someone and something FOR him.
Such a great interview, Sarah and Anthony! Well done.
Its encouraging to see you as a black male wanting to be married, and also putting in the work to become whole. Thank you.
I respect your transparency thank you for sharing your journey. I think these are the necessary conversations that need to be had.
I need this book!
I loved the fact that you don't have to always be strong. You can allow yourself to be vulnerable
Hi Sarah❤ and thank you AO for having this wonderful woman
This is arguably the best conversation you have had Anthony. Thank you so much for this one. I learned so much from this and I am happy to have caught it.
This was so Great I cried. And yes 🙌 I am closed off a little, not letting my friend in thinking 🤔 I will possibly loose him too. It’s never $ for me. Stability to build together is key. Amen 🙏 Wow I learned so much in to be able to put it in words was greatly appreciated. Sis Roberts thanks.
This interview speaks to me in such in such a therapeutic way.I think you need to do a podcast of other issues of men.This interview is amazing the fibers of vulnerability wrapped with a bow of wisdom and petals of grace..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would love a copy of the book. I learned that as I successfully move forward, I can also be a hindrance to myself by not allowing anyone else in, simply because of fear and previous hurts. Thank you so much Sarah!
I loved how she broke down the relationship that Anthony may be running from. He’s a great successful guy, I believe he may have his guard up and that could be blocking his blessings to connect with a beautiful like minded woman. I’m rooting for AO, been following him since his Ramsey days😉.
The level of authenticity and vulnerability in this episode is mind blowing. All the best on your healing journey AO.
