Advertise on podcast: Get Up! Mornings With Erica Campbell

Broadcasting from the One Voyage Cruise, Erica Campbell opens “Get Up Church” with prayer, laughter, and gospel music, then highlights the day’s features including Sybil Wilkes’ news and listener birthday shout-outs. Wilkes reports on historic U.S. Senate races involving Black women candidates, a Louisiana Black farmer’s Senate run, rising costs of the Iran war, and Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation giving $25,000 to Camp HBCYou. Erica’s Faith Walk centers on choosing forgiveness to avoid emotional and even physical harm, while the E&G “True Hollywood Bible Story” retells Genesis 19, warning not to “look back” like Lot’s wife. Erica’s “Erica-ism” encourages pacing how you share information so others can receive it. Guest Jonathan McReynolds discusses his single “Echo,” inspired by his mother and grandmother’s prayers, and his live Chicago-recorded album “Closer,” plus touring and community on the cruise.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When life gets heavy, prayer, praise, and enduring love can remind you that you are never carrying the weight alone. On Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica reflects on the people whose prayers have covered, protected, and encouraged her, challenging listeners to recognize who has been praying for them—and to intentionally lift up the names God places on their hearts. Research on prayer and daily well-being underscores how closely prayer practices can reflect our emotions and everyday experiences, adding another layer to Erica’s call to remain grateful, attentive, and willing to do the work that follows faith.  In the Faith Walk, “Sacrifice of Praise,” Erica draws from Hebrews 13:15 to explain why praise matters most when grief lingers, prayers seem unanswered, or exhaustion sets in: the sacrifice is choosing to thank God aloud even when it is difficult. Love Talk becomes especially personal as Erica says goodbye to longtime family friend Miss Nadine Armstead and reconnects with the village that helped raise her. Surrounded by memories, laughter, tears, and a family legacy that includes 77 great-grandchildren and 26 great-great-grandchildren, Erica shares a moving truth echoed in modern grief perspectives: meaningful bonds can continue through memory, values, prayer, and the love we carry forward.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before you walk away, renew your coverage, or chase your next opportunity, a little wisdom can change your next move. On Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Love Talk challenges listeners not to mistake a missed call or delayed text for rejection: have an honest conversation before calling it quits. Clear communication about feelings and needs—not expecting a partner to read your mind—helps replace assumptions with understanding. Then, Money Mondays welcomes finance and legacy expert Jini Thornton to unpack Medicare and Social Security for listeners and loved ones. Medicare open enrollment runs October 15 through December 7, with changes taking effect January 1; comparing prescriptions, doctors, and total costs can help families make informed coverage decisions. Jini also encourages checking eligibility for spousal, divorced-spouse, or survivor benefits rather than assuming your own work record is your only option.  In the Erica-ism of the Day, “Do It the Right Way,” Erica delivers a reminder to choose integrity over desperation. Reflecting on sharing rent with her sister Tina, struggling to afford groceries, and eventually receiving a life-changing publishing deal, she encourages listeners to work honestly, live within their means, and resist the pressure to keep up with someone else’s lifestyle. With laughter from Griff, vacation stories from the Get Up Church, and encouragement throughout, this episode brings together stronger communication, informed financial choices, and the courage to move forward without compromising your values.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thankful Thursday, Erica Campbell and the Get Up Mornings crew open with prayer, gospel music, birthdays, and recurring features including the Faith Walk and Erica-ism. Main guest Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell of Atlanta’s 28:19 Church discusses his book “Contend: Standing Boldly for Biblical Truth While Winning the War Within,” explaining Jude’s call to defend biblical truth externally and internally, and sharing how a powerful visit to Turkey’s Seven Churches region underscored his concern about losing Christian influence. The show features the E&G “True Hollywood Bible Story” retelling of Genesis 18’s Sodom and Gomorrah intercession with comedic voices, plus listener calls for birthday shout-outs and a “Get Up” poll on old-school home remedies (castor oil, vinegar-honey mixes, wormwood tea, fermented garlic/onion in honey, Vicks). News, sports, and trending topics include Jalen Hurts’ DVT and lung clots, a Minnesota bus rescue, energy-cost strain, and Bishop Hezekiah Walker’s Hess House affordable-housing ribbon cutting.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith, healing, and healthier living come together in an uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Erica’s Faith Walk draws from 2 Timothy 2:15 and challenges every believer—not only preachers—to study Scripture, ask the Holy Spirit for understanding, and let God’s Word shape their choices and influence. The conversation then confronts the comparison trap, as Erica explains how measuring pain, success, family, or faith against someone else can breed resentment and block gratitude, grace, and healing—a message echoed by psychology research linking chronic social comparison with dissatisfaction and poorer mood.  Dr. Ian Smith joins Healthy Ever After to explain why menopause can bring more weight around the midsection and why declining muscle mass can slow metabolism. He encourages women to emphasize protein, fiber, resistance training, and other sustainable habits rather than chasing viral shortcuts, while his midlife nutrition guidance also highlights nutrients that support muscle, bones, sleep, mood, and heart health. Together, these conversations offer a practical reset for spirit, mind, and body: know the Word, stop using someone else’s life as your measuring stick, and make consistent choices that support long-term wellness.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When worry knocks, faith, wisdom and a willingness to move can open the door to peace. Pastor Juan Wilder joins Erica Campbell to discuss his book Anxiety, Go Back to Hell and why believers do not have to choose between prayer and professional care. He urges listeners to step away from social-media comparison, release burdens they cannot control and remember who God says they are. That message aligns with mental-health guidance recognizing that persistent anxiety can disrupt daily life and that treatment may include therapy, medication or both.  The episode also brings Scripture to life through the E&G True Hollywood Bible Story about the man at the Pool of Bethesda, whom Jesus tells to rise, pick up his mat and walk after 38 years of illness. Erica’s Faith Walk continues the theme of renewal with the image of a detached vine placed in water until it grows new roots, encouraging anyone who feels spiritually dry to reconnect with God, Scripture and a healthy community—echoing John 15’s reminder that a branch bears fruit by remaining connected to the vine.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Start your week with faith, focus and practical wisdom! Erica Campbell’s Faith Walk shares a renewed excitement for Scripture, drawing on Proverbs 3:5–6 to remind listeners not to lean on their own understanding, but to trust God for direction through every decision, distraction and difficult season. The passage reinforces that wholehearted trust and acknowledging God can make the path ahead clear.  Money Mondays with Jini Thornton offers a family-friendly strategy for finding savings in recurring expenses: review recent statements, start with major bills such as insurance, utilities, Wi-Fi and cell service, compare competitors, call providers prepared to negotiate, and plan grocery trips with menus, lists, coupons and help from the whole household. Many service bills may be negotiable when customers contact providers and use their loyalty as leverage, while government meal-planning resources recommend shopping with a plan to support both budgets and healthy choices. In the Erica-ism of the Day, Erica warns that wanting “more” requires integrity, discipline and faithful stewardship first—encouraging listeners to develop what is already in their hands before asking God to enlarge their territory.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith gets practical—and the music gets timeless—as Erica Campbell challenges listeners to keep learning, growing, and pursuing God with fresh hunger. In her Faith Walk, Erica reflects on wishing she had sought deeper revelation sooner, then reminds the Get Up Church that spiritual maturity should produce peace, humility, love, and a desire to share truth—not arrogance or judgment. Fresh Word Friday continues that call through Pastor Dharius Daniels’ “I Am the Table,” rooted in Proverbs 14:1: a wise woman builds her house, while a foolish one tears it down. Daniels explains that being an asset is about character rather than a label, defining foolishness as stubborn resistance to wisdom and warning that mistakes do not make someone a liability—but refusing correction can.    Legendary gospel artist Pastor Luther Barnes then joins Erica to introduce “Lifetime,” a testimony of enduring service to God and the title track of his 10-song, 48-minute album released through Atlanta International Records. Barnes honors the influence of his father, Rev. F.C. Barnes, saying meaningful lyrics remain central to his songwriting, and credits God’s grace for sustaining his life and ministry. Now 12 years into pastoring Restoration Worship Center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Barnes also encourages the church to embrace younger gospel artists, noting that earlier generations once viewed trailblazers such as James Cleveland and the Hawkins family with similar uncertainty. Together, the morning’s standout moments offer a powerful invitation to seek God more deeply, accept wise correction, build with intention, and keep saying yes for a lifetime.    Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a renewed hunger for God to a miracle that opens both eyes and hearts, this episode invites listeners to seek deeper, believe boldly, and say yes to God’s call. In her Faith Walk, Erica Campbell reflects on how the excitement of new faith can fade with familiarity and challenges the Get Up Church to pursue God daily—not only for blessings, but for His presence, power, love, and direction. Drawing from Psalm 63:1, where David earnestly seeks and thirsts for God in a dry land, she encourages listeners to fall deeper in love with Jesus and keep their spiritual hunger alive.  The E&G True Hollywood Bible Story brings humor and heart to John 9, retelling how Jesus made mud, sent a man born blind to wash in the Pool of Siloam, and restored his sight—only for skeptical religious leaders to question the miracle because it happened on the Sabbath; the chapter ultimately contrasts physical sight with the spiritual blindness of those who refuse to recognize God’s work. Grammy-nominated worship leader Todd Dulaney then joins the show to introduce “We Say Yes” and explain the personal challenge of living the surrender he sings about. He describes Back to the Book II as a prayer-centered project rooted in Scripture and God’s presence; the 11-song album includes “Psalm 24,” “Psalm 23,” “All I Want,” “We Say Yes,” and “Love You Lord”. Together, the conversations offer a timely call to seek God sincerely, recognize His transforming work, and answer His direction with a wholehearted yes.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a morning of truth, spiritual strength, and practical wellness as Erica Campbell reminds listeners that real love should not require them to accept lies, secrecy, one-sided giving, or a “halfway” relationship. Her Love Talk challenges anyone confusing grace with being used to recognize their worth, set clear boundaries, and choose relationships rooted in patience, kindness, and mutual care; relationship experts similarly warn that emotional manipulation may hide behind concern or affection while leaving a person confused, guilty, isolated, or doubtful of their own judgment.  Erica’s Faith Walk explores praying in the Spirit as a personal line of communication with God, drawing on 1 Corinthians 14 and Ephesians 6 to encourage believers to receive the Holy Spirit, pray for themselves and others, and stay open to divine guidance; biblical commentary notes that Spirit-led prayer can include tongues but also emphasizes praying with understanding, love, and order—especially in public worship. Fitness expert Dawn Strozier then explains why a weekend of restaurant meals, snacks, sauces, specialty coffees, and less movement can undo disciplined weekday habits, urging listeners to enjoy one indulgent meal without turning it into several days of overeating. Current wellness guidance supports her focus on sustainable routines, planned indulgences, protein, fiber, and steady meal timing rather than all-or-nothing restriction.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a morning of spiritual renewal, financial clarity, and a loving challenge to guard what shapes your heart and mind. Erica Campbell’s Faith Walk draws from 2 Corinthians 5:17, which describes those in Christ as a new creation whose old life has passed away, encouraging listeners to stop carrying shame from their past and confidently walk in the authority and freedom of their new life.  On Money Monday, Dave Anderson urges listeners to replace financial fear with facts by reviewing income, debt, savings, subscriptions, and the last 30 days of spending, then giving every dollar a job and setting boundaries for flexible expenses; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau similarly offers tools for tracking spending, paying bills, managing debt, and creating a cash-flow budget. Erica’s “Are You the Scornful?” message then turns to Psalm 1, warning against becoming consumed by mockery, complaints, online mess, and judgment; commentary on the passage defines the scornful as mockers and highlights the progression from walking, to standing, to sitting among harmful influences, while Erica calls listeners to redirect that energy toward Scripture, discernment, and a life rooted in God.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transformation, purpose, and powerful new gospel music take center stage on this uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. In her Faith Walk, Erica shares how a recent spiritual gathering left her renewed, more determined to lead others to Jesus, and ready to answer God’s call in her next season. That message flows directly into Fresh Word Friday, where Dr. Jackie Greene’s “At Your Service” challenges listeners to trust God with the gifts, opportunities, and assignments placed in their hands. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents, Dr. Greene emphasizes faithful stewardship, obedience over people-pleasing, and the courage to serve even when the task feels bigger than you.    Worship leader E.J. Jackson joins the show to debut “Jesus,” his live single with Isaiah Templeton, released July 17, 2026. Jackson reflects on becoming a minister of music in seventh grade, serving as the first Black worship pastor at a predominantly white Las Vegas church, and his mission to bring gospel and contemporary Christian worship communities together. He reminds listeners that worship is more than a Sunday song—it is a daily lifestyle that can unite people from every background in one sound. With Erica’s encouragement to give God a wholehearted “yes,” this episode offers faith, testimony, and fresh music for anyone ready to embrace change and move boldly into purpose.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thankful Thursday, Oct. 1, Erica Campbell opens Get Up Mornings with prayer and encouragement, then shares the Faith Walk of the Day, reminding listeners that faith makes room for questions, sadness, and honesty with God, and urging them to bring pain to Jesus rather than pretending everything is fine. The show features the E&G “True Hollywood Bible Story” reenactment of 1 Samuel 3, dramatizing how Samuel repeatedly hears God’s call, learns to respond, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening,” and delivers a hard message to Eli. Jonathan McReynolds joins to introduce his new single “Echo,” discussing how his mother’s and late grandmother’s prayers shaped him, reflecting on recording his live album Closer in Chicago, and previewing connecting with peers on the One Voyage Cruise.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith, fellowship, and the healing power of worship come together in an uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Gospel artist Darwin Hobbs brings laughter and heartfelt wisdom as guest co-host, reflecting on emotional health, the value of supportive community, and why worship begins with a daily relationship with God—not simply music. Hobbs explains that songs can enhance worship, but genuine worship is rooted in being intimately acquainted with God, while Erica celebrates his voice as a needed example for a younger generation.  Gospel Music Association President Jackie Patillo also previews the 57th Annual GMA Dove Awards, set for October 6 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena under the theme “Together For One.” The celebration will include Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tauren Wells, TobyMac, Naomi Raine, and a special Richard Smallwood tribute featuring Jonathan McReynolds, Kierra Sheard, Donald Lawrence, and original members of Vision; the broadcast airs October 9 on TBN and the TBN+ app. Erica closes the episode’s central message with the powerful Erica-ism “He Kept Me in My Right Mind,” connecting faith and mental wellness as she encourages listeners to release repetitive pain, guard their words and thoughts, trust God with their hearts, and remember that surviving difficult seasons is proof that purpose remains.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Faith, purpose, and personal growth took center stage on this uplifting episode of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Gospel artist and guest co-host Jovontae Patton joined the show to discuss his upcoming album Choir Music, which features collaborations with several gospel artists and recently earned recognition with an Upper Midwest Emmy nomination for its live-recorded presentation. Throughout the morning, Erica and Javontae shared stories about ministry, worship, and staying committed to God’s calling while encouraging listeners to trust God’s timing and walk boldly in faith.   Erica also delivered a powerful Erica-ism inspired by her weekend at the Black Wall Street Nation event in Tulsa, reminding listeners that true fulfillment comes when the focus shifts from personal achievement to glorifying God. The show’s Love Talk segment resonated with couples as Erica emphasized the importance of healthy communication, patience, forgiveness, and addressing problems directly rather than allowing misunderstandings to grow. Listeners were also encouraged to prepare for the upcoming FAFSA application season during Money Monday, while the Get Up Church celebrated faith, family, birthdays, and community, creating an episode filled with practical wisdom, spiritual encouragement, and inspiration for everyday life.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/get-up-mornings-erica-campbell  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
