T.D. Jakes’ newest best seller is called Crushing: God Turns Pressure into Power. It tackles the hard questions about a loving God allowing sorrow and suffering. It’s about transforming what was meant for evil into good.
In this special “It Crushed Me” interview, Bishop Jakes sits down with Pastor Keion Henderson to discuss his childhood, his relationship with his biological father, his struggles with anger, and how he finally overcame what could have crushed him.
Keion Henderson’s present success as a pastor, humanitarian, speaker, and business leader is a far cry from the circumstances of his childhood. He grew up with his single mother and siblings, surviving for many years on minimum wage and government assistance.
Unknown to him for the first 12 years of his life, Keion’s biological father pastored a large church down the street and lived comfortably with his wife and their children. This just happened to be the church his family attended and Keion served at.
He was 12 when he found out the man he served as an adjutant and admired and secretly wished was his real father - actually was! Next came all the questions - most left unanswered -- the new feelings of rejection, the crushed hopes, and the anger as his father refused to acknowledge Keion as his son.
This emotional trauma, however, gave Keion a drive to succeed - perhaps to prove himself worthy to be his son. He struggled with feeling as if everything was his fault and wondering “am I good enough” - one of those unanswered questions.
Along the way, Pastor Henderson met Bishop T.D. Jakes and a God-ordained relationship and mentorship was born that continues to this day.
Watch this amazing “It Crushed Me” interview with Pastor Keion Henderson and Bishop Jakes, and see how God can restore, renew, and reconcile. And, don’t miss out on T.D. Jakes’ new book Crushing: God Turns Pressure Into Power. bit.ly/2Ue5FaD

#KeionHendersonInterview #InterviewWithPastorKeionHenderson
"You're born looking like your parents but you die looking like your decisions". Wow!
Deep
@@laqueljohnson1246 did your Dad have any other children, from the Church??
If he looked like him, the Church family would have known!
@@phyllisyovone8961 he said that his sister was also his pastor’s child
Deep !!!
I am crying like a little kid. Few hours after I tell my dad face to face that I forgive him. Watching this made me realize I did the right thing.
Angel Velez that is just beautiful!👏 Wow! Congrats.
@@stushShulamite God is good!
You did indeed.
Amen! Thank God Your Free!
Amen you did
"I spent all this time pursuing somebody who was absent, and overlooking the one who was present" Y'ALL AIN'T LISTENING!!
Amazing testimony !
That was alsolutely beautiful
HOLY SPIRIT just used him to tell me something 😧😧😩🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
A scanless father, a dirty momma, a loving God!
Holy spirt just given me something all so.
To watch Keion’s demeanor shift from the confidence and boldness behind the pulpit to the humility in front of Jakes is refreshing.
“ I learned to survive with those broken pieces” that went straight into my inner being!!! Tears😢😢😢😢😢😢
🙏🏿🫂🙏🏿💛
I am not a man, but this interview touched my soul. I pray that others find healing in where their parent's fell short. God bless you all!❤
❤❤❤
Amen. Truly sad, for anyone to go through such lack of acknowledgement.
I felt this with my father, who was was married to my mother, but never was there after they divorced. It's an abandonment that you never get over.
👋🏾Thk u...
I am a mother and I had a similar situation and I not sure if I helped my son by shielding him, protecting him from pain of not having his father in his life. A child expects a parent to be there even after a bad action of two people. Pls comment
This was a wonderful interview. His mother did a wonderful job raising him.
🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿💛
To grow up and not be acknowledged by your own father is such a tragedy. But thank God when you receive the acknowledgement from God. I just love this interview
Because God is the Real Father that we unfortunately try to ignore.:)
So sad and just so wrong...
@@tessadeprez242 Please pray for me. I took all for granted. My holy ghost and went Destruction. This is bad. I want God and the HOLY GHOST GRIEVED. I WANT BACK HOW I WAS SATAN TRICKED ME out in world and lost. Cut off and my family doesn't seem to care. I am fooled and now have lost everything. SIT HERE ON MY WAY TO HELL AND ANGrey.
how could they both finish this interview without crying? i am over here chopping onions.
TheGoldenGirl001 exactly! Lol
I'm sure the release flowed when the camera were off.
They were both crying eternally. Look close enough and you will see it. Especially when Bishop Jakes was listing all the reason that he was proud of him. God kept them together.
I feel this.
Asking same question too but I think they were both strong and crying internally
I cried through this entire interview today. 😢Pastor Keions story left me speechless. He's so worthy of the honor and blessings that he is receiving
I just clicked on this video out of curiosity, but boy, OH boy...!!! This has got to be one of the most intense lessons I've ever received.
So raw and beautiful, we can't explain why life is so unfair sometimes, but God sends us an angel to rescue us.
AMEN!!
So true
@@maryaglenn8699 ll
Any child from a single parentalhood lives to see what Bishop told him at the end, I AM PROUD.....
Tears and more tears. I am 76 years young and "THIS INTERVIEW" made me revisit my absentee father's abandonment.
My mom always told me never be envious of what others have as you don't know what they did to get it. Here is a young man who had struggles of being denied but has been blessed by God in so many ways. We see his success and accomplishments but never understood the pain he had to endure and the struggle he had to deal until he shared his story. The moral of this is just what my mom taught me .don't be envious of what others have as you don't know what they did to get it..
FACTZ
what a story. wow
Still... i just so not giving his blood father a excuse for denying his own son. No excuse at all. Sorry..
😭. Love them both. Thankful he had his mother. I didn’t have either, but I had a praying grandmother.
Stay in the Present. Good Word
Wow! The power of a praying mother! She agreed with him that he would, one day, be a trusted son of TD. Jakes 🔥🙏🏾
Amen❤
🔥🔥🔥
I forgive those who dropped the ball in my life
I cried when both discussed their time together in a Jeep Cherokee. And Keion says TD Jakes approached him with a tender-care that Keion had never felt from a man in his life @30minutes.
35:25 - 35:10: Seriously!?!? This is a modern day Bible story. Unreal. God is faithful.
INDEED, INDEED!!!!
The tennis story...
TD Jakes you are a father to many...
As a woman.. This touched my very core of the importance of affirming and how God will give you what HE said HE would give you.. If your Mother/Father forsake you... God said, I will take you! This interview, spoke to me on so many levels. God is FAITHFUL who promised. And, having someone to pray with you as his mother did, which caused it to come to pass.. is AMAZING!! It was good for me to be afflicted. This blessed me too.. Stay Present!!! My prayer.. Lord help me to have enough Presence to dissolve my past!!! Blessings to Bishop T.D. Jakes and Pastor Henderson for sharing the balm in Gilead!!!
I have lived the statement Bishop Jakes made “So many men try to apply discipline where they have not applied love” with my natural father who is a pastor, but God compensated me by replacing my natural father with a Spiritual Father who is amazing to me & I’m so grateful. I would go through the pain of the neglect of my natural father again to have the relationship I have with my Spiritual Father because it was worth it! God is true to his word, “All things work together for good to them that love God...” Romans 8:28.
Amen 💯
Articulate, anointed, powerful spiritual message

I am happy for you. How are you doing?
This is àmazing very amazing how the Grace of God reaches out to us....
Keion Henderson is well-known for his motivational speeches and sermons that have touched many lives, he leads one of the fastest-growing churches in Houston, Texas. The pastor has over 20 years of experience in active ministry. Keion Henderson biological father was a respected pastor of the church he attended just like him now.
There was so much healing in this interview. I began to tear up.
I am in tears 😭😭😭because of the authenticity the honesty the vulnerability and the importance of forgiveness in this interview. God bless both of you 🙏🏽
53:14 is where I ( a 41yr old man) cried like a little boy. Those words from Bishop Jakes to Pastor Keion "you are a joy" "you are amazing" and so on are words I've never heard from a Father, neither naturally or spiritually. My earthly father has been deceased 41yrs (I was 5 1/2 weeks old when he was killed). This entire interview was on point, but that part did it for me.
He's a better person than I could ever be...that is a hard pill to swallow. God is amazing.
I feel Keione (the 12-year old) pain. My Dad passed on 9.12.2021. His amazing nurse found me after 37 years. I’m glad that God allowed us to see each other and tell one another that we loved each other but we didn’t have time to get to know each other. He was a great singer and I’m a singer. We could have had so much fun together and made wonderful memories. I missed what I was supposed to have. He touched so many lives and as I listened to the stories and great relationships that he’s built over 52 years, I was proud. However I had nothing to share. He was the extra boost of confidence that I needed in my life. Until we meet again Pops…💕💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
With tears in my eyes, I would like to say that this is such a touching video! Vulnerability, honesty, and authenticity! Huhuhu! These three elements are things that every man needs!
Only grace
@@lucretiavarsenburg9438 .
Why did your Mom, shock you like that! Amazing, your mom did not take the blame! STAY PRESENT BEAUTIFUL!
2 children, by the Pastor.
Your mother, was very faithful to that man. For y'all sake, should not y'all have left! Mother, mother, mom!
This interview needs to be seen and heard by many. This truly blessed me and above all how God's amazing grace was shown so beautifully. God bless you Pastor Jakes and Pastor Henderson.
This is really something, I wish this can be a movie, script as scenes or something. Tyler Perry this is a good one 😊👍🏾 we all have stories to tell but, some are just too unique. There's always a blessing in disguise.
This is one of the most inspirational interview I have ever listened. It's a tear jerker. God is Good! The son in whom he is well pleased🙏🏽
Most IMPACTFUL Interview ever! I walked away with a multitude of take-aways. #empoweringmoment
Right!

Me too
As a woman with an absent father, this touched my soul. ❤ soooo beautiful!
"...present you with a bottle of it, so that you can enjoy what you poured into me." Powerful.
There's a price for every breakthrough. Just like a meal being prepared. Heat is necessary to assure we are done and ready to serve. A real live burning bush. God bless you men of God
Amen ❤️
😔The CHOSEN go though so much.🤧Gods word "ROMANS 8:28" manifesting. God bless Bishop Jake's for these great shared Testimonies. So inspiring. I too suffer in silence,resting in my Faith of a great story.🙇🏾♀️📖👑
I'm so glad that I watched this interview. So many parallels in relation to my own life. In the end, Bishop said, "You are a joy & you are amazing." That almost took me out ❤🙌🏿
Hello queen I’m happy to connect under your platform My name is Temitope Ajayi Bright I wish to know you and share the word of God together am in United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪
"The pressure makes me precious." "There are benefits to our bruises." WOW! Thank you for sharing!
You can see how TD Jakes is so proud of him!!!
“If I had to go back into my mother’s womb and be given the same set of circumstances to get to this moment, I swear I would do it again.” I felt that statement in my soul & it is only just the beginning for me. You never go through a test without being someone else's testimony. Thank you for sharing🙏🏽
Simply Wow!
Lord this Gave me an entire New respect for them Both.❤
In life indeed everyone has a story.....people look at the glory but their don’t know your story
A man Redeemed thru God’s Redemption! God never forgets, God never fades and God never fails. Amazing testimony 🙌🏾
With tears in my eyes I revel at the tenacity and resilience of this interview. It has shed so much light into my own relationship with my father i really never had. TD Jakes is truly a father of fathers. I will forever cherish and replay this interview over and over to get through to the fullness of the crushing...and become the wine that can be tasted and experienced because I too was crushed To God be the Glory! Nothing nor any pain will ever be wasted! God is Sovereign!
This is one of the most beautiful interviews I've ever seen.
I forgive everyone including myself.Hallelujah. AMEN . Thank you Bishop & Pastor Keion!!!
Bishop TD Jakes you are amazing I always tell God to give you long life, energy, grace... To live long.... We need you, you are a voice in this generation. I pray to meet you one day....... Iam your spiritual daughter by faith from a tender age and I know God is with you...... I pray for you always.

So true
😭This interview is extremely powerful, helpful, relatable and encouraging. Bishop Jakes, thank you, Sir, for Who you are. Thank you for being willing to make the investment into broken pieces. Your Wisdom, your life, your example, and your personhood leads us into becoming the collage of God's purpose. May we make good on the investment God has provided to us in and through you. I've purchased and will read the book as well. Much needed.
. P
I just turned 37 on July 2nd, and hearing his story dealing with his father. Grabbed my attention and I know God our creator and my Ancestors guided me to watch this
Wow pastor Keion no wonder you are such a gift to us!
Whew........This was a testimony like nobody's business.......Man vs. Machine.....in my eyes....Pastor Keion God is looking down upon you and smiling from ear to ear....I Loved this....Truth hurt & pain weights all odds 💖🙏🏼
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. IT WAS NOT FOR ME TWO YEARS AGO. TODAY WAS THE DAY INDEED. ♥️THANK YOU GOD. KAIROS MOMENT.
He wanted to cry several times, but held his own. Wish he filled the voids missing in his life.
"You should visit your pain in your head so you're not shocked when you get there."😢 Felt that with my whole soul!
WOW!!!...A perfect example of HONOR your father,even in the midst,I must say this was so heartfelt and touching ❤😪🙏🏽
This interview right here is the Best Seller rendition of healing the soul. Those recordings are your public acknowledgements of who you are as a son to him and who God is and has always been a father to you! It’s amazing to see and hear someone understanding their pain! Very poised with the tears in your throat. Thank you both for this!
God is excellent, I pray that both of my sons will see this and be healed completely
I don't know how Pastor Keion held it together through this interview!! I wasn't worth a quarter after watching!!
Thank you Lord for answering Prayers. Today, his many years of prayer has become his reality. See what God has done! Glory!
I cried watching this, story of my life. i've been crushed and i'm coming into the fullness of my purpose. I love you bishop, i love you pastor Keion, you both have been a tremendous blessing to my life. Thank you.
Happy for you Franklin
Whew!!! Had me crying, my God!!! I appreciate Pastor Keion's story, there's so much freedom for so many in it!!
The tears would not stop, not only was I weeping for Keion's story but my own story as it is playing out. It's in the crushing where God extends His Favor, Grace & Mercy to us who've been crushed in a Mighty way. That's why it's not good to put your mouth on anyone because you don't know what they have endured or had to walk through to get what God has for them. Thank you for a very beautiful & vulnerable interview. 🙂😇🙏🏾😭😫
🙏🏿🫂🙏🏿💛
I must admit, trending took me out in the middle of school... I started crying uncontrollably !!!!! I had to excuse myself from the general public. That release that he spoke of... my soul began to rejoice!!! AMEN
Pastor Keion Henderson, don’t worry, we did all the crying you held back at the end lol 😂 this was truly, TRULY a blessing. 🙌🏾❤️
Ali Mc RIIIIIIGHT!!!!!😩😂🤣 Whewwww!!
Ask God to show u the snakes in your life around u big snacks are to suck u up.Becareful.
Please tell the truth.God bless u for telling it just like it is.
Wooow....sure we cried for him
Thank you Pastors-- both of you-- for sharing so authentically. You touched my heart. 🥰🙏
Being unfaithful to your obligations to your children makes you unfaithful to God. He didn't just fail his son, he failed God himself and for that, he'll answer in judgment. As a man with a similar story, I made it my mission to never to do the same with my children.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
There is a high price for unfaithfulness to God (and to those God has entrusted to us - our children)!! So much damage can be done to a child, but I am just blessed to see that Pastor Keion has received so much grace from the hand of God!!!! God's grace is so amazing, even through some of the most horrendous challenges.

There will be a whole lot of men on judgement day who will have to answer to that. Many are suffering right now for the abuse and abandonment and rejection and neglect they have caused towards their children.
WoooooW my God!! 🙏😭 This was POWERFUL!!! ❤❤ I Love them both & their sermons really minister to me. This took me back to when my Step Mom was in her last days, her & I talked like we never had before. She was married to my Father 25 years. Unfortunately we'd never had a decent relationship & one day she tried to apologize & make amends with me but I was so stubborn I dissed her which was completely out of line. I prayed & asked God to fix our relationship because it couldn't continue on that way & to "unstone" my heart. Two years before her health started to deteriorate our relationship healed. I know it was my Step Mother but we were still family.
This comment 👌 👏
You're Awesome Keion! 2 Amazing Pastors that have changed my perspective and revolutionized my life. 5 years clean off the death grip of opiates. Thank you Bishop Jakes.
Congrats on that
So awesome John! God be praised!
This is hands down one of the “Most Powerful Interviews” I have witnessed in a Loooooong time. WoW!!!
Only God can turn a mess into a masterpeace. Abba Father, thank you for your Goodness for Pastor Keion Henderson, and Bishop TD Jakes, life.
This is one of the most amazing interviews I have ever watched. Thank you Pastor Henderson and my Pastor Bishop TD Jakes. The modern day Paul and Timothy in the flesh. Much love and appreciation to both of you. God bless you and yours.
The God we serve has brought together men whom each lost their fathers at a very tender moment in life, into the full circle of gospel . One is now the father he lost to a son who had a father who was lost. When you only saw one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. For it is good that I was afflicted . May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding continue to stand with you.
Oh man oh man pastor jakes this was a powerful interview/testimony I feel everything that pastor Henderson was feel at the time. I too found out at age 45 that I have a father who don’t want nothing to do with me have place it in god’s hands but at times the hurt become a pain and I use to get angry but I turn that anger into praying for him. Pray for me so one day I will reach that place that pastor Henderson reach thanks.
I cried. What an honor to have Bishop take you under his wing. I wish I had a father figure. Just never happened. But in learning about the absence of that male figure is still a thing. And seeing this encouraged me.
Wow! I teared up listening to this testimony. The crushing of the grapes must happen in order to reach destiny. Keion's testimony opened my eyes and my heart to my father who was absent. I hate my father but I love him. My father is also a pastor. And guess who turned out to be a prophetess? Yours truly.
Just seen this for the first time. November 21, 2021 and I tell you, this blessed me. This is a tear jerker. I love the way Bishop minister to the fatherless. Although he knew his father, he was not acknowledge in the fullness by his dad. I well understand being a PK kid and a secret.
This is an awesome interview
One of the Best BEST ever interviews I’ve watched between a true father and a true son!!! Incredible poignant real yet so finesse the respect and love flowed!!!
This was an AMAZING interview, I never knew what he went through with his father and how he didn’t let that be an excuse to keep him from his purpose…I almost cried at the end
It's so amazing to see men love and embrace each other, share their feelings, and present their faults right in front of each other. This was so beautiful.
Powerful.
All I can say is we need more of the “Loving care” Pastor Keion spike of. 😭
Spoke of that is😊
WOW! Bishop Jakes is a "real father"! Many who grew up without a good fatherly influence in their lives would love to be mentored by a man such as this. He is the "real deal."
My, my, my....My heart is so so full. I'm here at work.... listening to this video in the privacy of my office... and all I want to do... is get on my knees and cry out to God, praising Him for ALL that He does!! What a great testimony!! "YOU WERE BORN LOOKING LIKE YOUR PARENTS, BUT WHEN YOU DIE... YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DECISIONS!!!" {Just drop thy Mic...}🎤
How many out there are in need of this true love? It doesn't matter how old you are! If you didn't have it this could affect all your entire life, for you can only give what you have!!!may the Lord help us for they are thousands of stories out there...please God the father, God the son please help someone in need right now to meet with someone who will fill the gap that need to be filled in their lives!!! Holy Spirit we can not leave you outside of this, you knows us better...directs someone in the right path for your name sake!!! Man of God TD jakes, may the Lord help you to be a good father, a good example to many,...be blessed more than I am today in listening to this powerful testimony!!!
The Lord has knitted your hearts together for a special purpose. What an amazing testimony of overcoming grace. I pray others will view and be encouraged. May God continue to bless you and your families.
I am crying I love Pastor am in Jamaica may the peace of God cover you always ❤❤❤❤
I TOTALLY AGREE! I was sooo overwhelmed with emotion as I was in awe of the gentleness of both men...the respect, the beautiful display of manhood, brotherhood and a father-to-son/son-to-father relationship. I am a mother that raised her black son alone until he was an adult because he has denied by his father. That pain is indescribable! I pray and pray! It is so great my son doesn't talk to me at all, I dont see him and we are not a part of each other's lives...I know very little about him past 21. He will be 31 in 2 months...daily praying for his healing and our reconciliation. I miss him...😥😥😥❤ So PROUD of Pastor Anderson!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is a heartbreaking and redemptive story. I couldn't help but cry😭 some of these men be going through hell. Father heal all men everywhere in search of acceptance and love, and let them know how much you love them, in Jesus name. If my future husband is one of those men, pay special attention to him in Jesus name.🙏🏾❤️
I love this so much. Even though I’m seeing it for the first time two years later, it’s been great therapy to my soul..!!! Thank you men of God for being so transparent and vulnerable and allowing God to minister through your pain to reach back and bring others out glory hallelujah we serve such an intentional God.
Growing sons and God trusting me with them is why this food is so necessary.
The interview is three years old however the message is still so relevant today. The pain of an absent father or rejection of a father it’s so deep and not easy to heal from it. I little girl in me cried and the pain is still hurts.
Bishop Jakes I accept you as my spiritual father too god bless you bishop, I honour you ,trust me you make my days here on earth, worth living keep doing good keep teaching bishop in Jesus name amen.
Thank you Pastor Keion for sharing this personal part of your life. May you continue to be blessed. 🙌❤❤🙌
I'm just stumbling across this and just crying to hear the pain of this pastor just in the 1st 15 minutes. The harm we do to kids when we reject them for our personal convenience but only for God's grace to enter those kids' lives. And praise to God-fearing women who fight hard to raise God-honoring kids filling both sets of parental shoes.
I’m four years late but BEAUTIFUL interview. So intimate and delicate. This is how people in the body of Christ should handle one another and those coming in. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You never know what's behind someone's smile. Forgiveness releases us not them is easy to say but hard to do. With God's help and prayer it can be done. God is a healer 🙏🏾. Great Interview 💕👍🏾👏🏾
So touching. The humility is surreal; such a genuine soul. Awesome testimony. Things hit so differently when one can relate to what's being spoken. This interview hit me in the depths of my soul causing me to release pinned up emotions that I too have for my father whom is also a preacher. God bless you all. 🙌 🙌
Do you need any help ? … & he said yes 🙌🏾. Praise God. This is a true example why we “Forgive”. He loved his dad. He FaceTime him. All these steps you took. How you visited his death. I’m crying tears of joy for Pastor Keion “Strength” !!! I learned so much from this wonderful interview. Your parents / your decisions. Everything is just “Priceless” !!! Bishop Jakes I love you & mother Jakes. I have so much respect for you. Thank you 🙏🏾 for everything. The visit to your house Bishop (speechless). Closure , relief & telling the story. The grapes 🍇. The crushing (them). The intellect , the mannerisms , the calmness & the respect. I’m forever praying 🙏🏾 for you two & your families. Be blessed 😇. The wine. The prayer 🙏🏾. Greatness never goes on sale. It’s never discounted. It’s never two for one. You have to pay full price. Just like You Jesus did when You died on the cross. You paid it all.
Beyond moved❤️ God bless you Pastor Keion. The power of vulnerability “the stone that the builder refused, Praise God
