Today’s episode is one you absolutely don't want to miss. We’re joined by the one and only Rickey Smiley! You know Rickey as the man who has been making us laugh for decades, but today, he brings even more to the table. Rickey opens up about the pain of losing his son to addiction, the journey through grief, and the importance of embracing therapy and self-care in difficult times. He reminds us that even in our darkest hours, there’s healing in laughter and strength in community.

We also dive into Rickey's experiences with the wisdom of older generations, his dedication to supporting and raising children, and his thoughts on the upcoming presidential election — including what Kamala Harris’ candidacy represents for our future. And, of course, we lighten things up with some classic Rickey Smiley humor, talking about everything from hymns to the unique role of comedy as a form of ministry. It’s an episode filled with deep conversations, laughter, and life lessons you won’t want to miss!
