00:23 Hello, and welcome to 3abn's new network-Dare to Dream and
00:28 to Urban Report. My name is Yvonne Lewis and I am your host 00:31 for Urban Report and today we have a really special program 00:35 for you. I am honored to have as my guest and co-host, 00:41 hopefully, Danny Shelton-the Founder and Special Consultant 00:47 for Three Angels' Broadcasting Network. Dr. Lewis, this is a 00:51 very exciting moment for not only for you and Dare to Dream 00:56 3abn but even me personally and to see this network become a 01:00 reality and that's what we are going to be talking about today 01:04 on this Urban Report is Dare to Dream. Absolutely. 01:07 Tell me because you are such a visionary and I think many of 01:10 viewers-they know you better than they know me and then some 01:14 have never seen you before. Tell us briefly if you would, 01:18 just how did the urban network come to be. It came to our 01:21 Board a number of years ago. We actually considered it- 01:25 and actually started it, made preparations for it, and then 01:29 somehow it just got sidetracked and then about a year or two ago 01:33 a young lady by the name- Dr. Yvonne Lewis came to 3abn 01:37 by invitation of C.A. Murray and you and I, I interviewed you 01:42 and we began to talk about the needs of the inner cities and I 01:46 saw that you had the vision and you were willing to make some 01:50 sacrifices and literally changes in your life and moves and 01:53 whatever it took, -there is a song, "Whatever it takes for 01:57 for my will to break, that's what I'll be willing to do and 02:00 then-it says, take my houses and lands, change my dreams and 02:03 my plans for I'm placing my whole life in your hands. 02:05 Dr. Lewis was willing to do that and thank you so much for your 02:09 your accepting the invitation because of you, we now have a 02:13 network-Dare to Dream has already been on the computer 02:16 but now we are on satellite literally going to be seen in 02:19 many places around the world and so thank you for allowing me to 02:23 be here with you today and you're going to be introducing 02:25 a lot of the different new programs right? Yeah. In fact we 02:27 are going to do-like a little tease today and just let the 02:31 viewers know what's to come on Dare to Dream so that they can 02:33 tune in. The first thing that we are going to look at is 02:38 "Did you know?" spot and actually what that is is we're 02:42 going to look at various contributions that have been 02:45 made by different people to society that a lot of people 02:49 don't know about. So let's take a look at it. "Did you know?" 02:52 Music playing... 02:53 When you plug your printer into your PC, think of Mark Dean. 03:04 He was born on March 2, 1957 in 03:08 Jeffersen City, Tennessee. Growing up, he was a straight A 03:12 student and an outstanding athlete. In College, he 03:15 graduated at the top of his class and went on to earn a PhD 03:19 in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In 1997, 03:23 Dr. Dean received the Black Engineer of the year President's 03:27 Award, was inducted into the National Inventors' Hall of Fame 03:30 and was named an IBM Fellow-the highest technical honor awarded 03:34 by the company. He devised the Color Graphics Adapter which 03:38 allows color to be displayed on the PC. He holds more than 03:41 20 patents. Did you know that Mark Dean and Dennis Moller 03:45 developed a component that allowed multiple peripheral 03:48 devices such as printers and modems to be connected to a PC? 03:52 Did you know that Dr. Mark Dean dared to dream and owns 3 of the 03:55 9 patents that all PCs are based upon? Well, now you know. 04:00 I love this spot. The thing that I love is that we want 04:04 our children to be able to look and see other minorities that 04:08 have made contributions and they might not have been taught what 04:12 they've contributed. So this is really good-and I am excited 04:16 about the "Did you Know" spot. That's great and I love it and 04:19 you have a lot of those coming up and it is true that a lot of 04:21 times, we have no idea, the contributions that have been 04:25 made by people and somebody said to me, "Well, is this just a 04:28 minority thing or what?" and I said, "Well, kind of yes," you 04:31 know. What's wrong with that?" We want to let everybody to see 04:35 what everybody is doing. In this society and what we are doing as 04:39 Christians, to reach the world. This is such a great opportunity 04:43 let's include everybody in this and that's why, we want to go 04:46 into the inner cities. Who is mostly in the inner cities? and 04:49 if we are reaching areas and cities around the world-millions 04:53 of people-many of those have a lot of things in common-not only 04:56 minorities as far as culture, but how about economically? 04:59 The status and people and how they live-and we want to reach 05:03 everybody because the gospel is for everyone. 05:06 Absolutely, and we know that we have so many issues in the inner 05:10 cities. One of them is crime and so we have a program for 05:14 ex-offenders hosted by an ex-offender. Aaron Chancy is 05:19 the host and he is on fire for the Lord-a young man. Let's take 05:23 a look at Aaron. Music playing 05:52 We'd like to welcome the viewers back to this New Journey 05:54 Program. Today, our guest is Pastor Don L. Morgan. 05:58 Welcome, Pastor Morgan. Thank you. 06:00 Now we want to focus on your amazing testimony of God's 06:03 amazing saving grace. We want to focus on 4 areas of your life 06:08 your early childhood, how you got involved in crime, changing 06:11 your life and your battle with even learning how to read, and 06:15 we want to talk about your work as an ordained minister for God. 06:18 But before we get into those four aspects of your life, 06:20 you have a book that's been written and I want you to talk 06:23 a little bit about what prompted you-what motivated you to 06:27 want to write this book. You know Danny, Aaron Chancy, 06:30 he's on fire for the Lord and he was on Cheri Peters program 06:36 "Celebrating Life in Recovery. " He has an amazing testimony and 06:41 the Lord is just leading me to the right people to host each 06:45 program. He will lay it on my heart. "Ask this one are they 06:49 interested and when they are, it's just amazing how God has 06:53 been bringing everything together. 06:54 God is in it because I have been in production for over 25 years 06:59 and I have never seen so much production being done and new 07:03 programs coming out of nowhere with the right host, with the 07:07 guest. It's definitely God's blessings Yvonne because I know 07:11 though you have some television, much singing in the industry for 07:14 many, many years, and music industry professionally, some 07:18 television, but not having a production background as you do 07:21 to have God to have brought this thing and put it together in 07:24 in less than a year and developed all these new 07:26 programming meeting these needs- it's nothing short of a miracle. 07:28 It's true, you know, I've been listening to the 3abn miracles 07:32 all this time and it's just amazing and now I am seeing God 07:36 do this with "Dare to Dream" and I am just, it just takes me 07:40 aback. God is so incredible. When you are available to do 07:44 the work, He makes Himself responsible for it. So we are 07:48 just watching how everybody is coming together, it's really 07:52 amazing, it really is. It really is. 07:54 One of the things that is the bain of the inner city is 07:57 poverty and we needed a money- management program. So we have 08:02 "Take it to the Bank" with Cordell Thomas. Check it out! 08:06 Simple ways to save... Buying or selling a home? 08:13 and many more financial matters on "Take it to the Bank. " 08:18 Hi, my name is Cordell Thomas and I welcome you to 08:22 "Take it to the Bank" Today, we're going to talk about 08:25 something that's kind of interesting to me and it really 08:28 is interesting because it takes me back to a time in my life 08:32 that I had to leave home. I stayed and lived at home 08:35 until I was well into my 20s but when it is time to leave home, 08:38 it was an intriguing perspective on understanding the real 08:44 expense of living on your own. It's kind of intriguing because 08:48 we do financial literacy courses as part of our Organization and 08:52 teach young people about what financial literacy is all about. 08:56 Money management is just critical-and not just for young 09:01 people, but for all of us older folk too. Absolutely! 09:05 "I am going to be watching this program. " 09:07 "Me too, I am going to be watching and taking notes. " 09:10 Another thing that we've been dealing with again - in the 09:15 inner city, but really in the African-American community as 09:19 a whole, is really poor health. We are the front-runners in 09:23 mortality for many of the chronic diseases-hypertension, 09:27 cancer, diabetes, so we are really looking at, "what to do? 09:32 how do we make a difference? in health status?" So we have 09:36 to have a health program, right? This one is "A Taste of 09:40 Paradise" and the interesting thing about this to me is that 09:43 it's structured uniquely. The first half is on raw-food 09:48 preparation and that's with Evita Tezeno and Brenda Camp, 09:51 and the 2nd half is with Nyse Collins. I think Nyse is 09:54 going to introduce the program but it's really good 09:57 and Nice does cooked food, and he does health tips, 10:00 it's really a nice blend. So let's look at them - 10:04 "Taste of Paradise" music playing 10:14 Do you want to see that again because I would love to show 10:16 you. All right, I heard somebody somebody say, "Yes" so we'll go 10:18 ahead. oh my! This is dangerously good for me. 10:24 Let's get started cooking... or shall I say-uncooking. Yes, 10:27 Nori Sushi rolls and mock tuna. What is the best thing? 10:32 Apple pie! Yes! and guess what? you don't have to give up 10:36 apple pie when you become raw. A raw apple pie! 10:40 Cholesterol is normally manufactured in the liver. Okay 10:43 so if something has a liver- maybe it is related to something 10:47 that has a liver-if it even has a face or a momma or something 10:52 of that nature then it will always have cholesterol. 10:54 So let me ask you a quick question. Does this have a 10:56 liver? Not quite. Does it have a face? Well I guess you can 10:59 draw it in or something like that but does it? It doesn't 11:01 have any of those so this in general-you can look at the 11:04 signs. It has how much Cholesterol? Absolutely no 11:07 cholesterol. But what it does have is - it has a lot of fat- 11:11 Actually, good fat. Does it have a face or a mother. 11:17 That's right. I know. I know. I just love the way they all 11:21 interact and it's just really, really a good program and the 11:25 recipes! The crew and I -we were just loving this program- 11:29 because we got to eat the samples - oh it was good! 11:33 It was good! Well, what I am loving about it too is now 11:36 these are all 3abn Dare to Dream programs produced here-I mean 11:40 in our own studios. Yes. Besides of all the other 11:43 programming that we have been producing all year long- the 11:46 lives and then the actual new programs, and somehow the Lord 11:50 has blessed and thanks to Jim Gilley and Molly and 11:52 C.A. Murray and all the rest of them putting Shelly Quinn - 11:55 helping with all of this, you know, this is amazing 11:59 because I sat and watched all of this and I say this is new 12:03 programs by new people and literally hitting topics that 12:08 are a must for inner cities. For sure, for sure, and I think 12:12 so many people can really benefit, I mean, even people who 12:15 don't live in the inner cities- when they watch these programs 12:17 it is going to be information, that they can use and apply to 12:20 their lives. It's just- I am so excited Danny because 12:24 I see God working and I see that this is information that 12:27 is so necessary. One of the things that's going on too 12:30 across the board, not just in the inner city but across the 12:33 board is the erosion of the family and we need 12:37 relationship-focused programming - and we have one 12:42 this one is externally produced by a Brother Rayford Young in 12:47 Quiet Time Ministries. Okay. And this is out of Detroit with 12:49 Dr. Kim Nowlin and her husband, Arthur Nowlin, and 12:54 they are psychotherapists and they are hosting this 12:58 program, "Making it Work. " Let's take a look. 13:01 Hi, I am Dr. Kim Logan Nowlin and I am Dr. Arthur Nowlin 13:05 and welcome to, "Making it Work" 13:25 Music playing 13:38 Our Topic for today, "The do's and don'ts of a 13:45 healthy relationship. The making of a good marriage. " 13:48 Arthur, what are some of the- - what should I say-the good 13:52 points of making a good marriage? Well, we have to 13:55 start out with good communication. 13:57 You got to have good communication. 13:58 That's very essential when we talk about good points. 14:01 Then the second thing is, we are talking about finances-making 14:06 sure that the finances are- we can work it out, we can work 14:10 together and establish some type of a good working relationship 14:15 for finances. The third thing Kim-you are not really 14:18 going to want to believe this What is it? 14:20 We are talking about responsibilities and chores. 14:22 Okay, Arthur, what's your favorite chore not to do? 14:26 Well, I don't do windows Kim 14:28 I know... when we got married that was in the wedding vows! 14:33 He said, in our wedding vows, I shall not dust and do windows- 14:37 and to this day, he has kept those vows. All right. 14:41 But listen, we want to welcome our guests today- 14:44 Brandon and Alison. Welcome to "Making it work" 14:46 How are you doing today? We're doing great. 14:49 You know one of the things I like about them is their own 14:53 personal interaction. They are married and I like seeing how 14:57 they interact with each other and how they interact with their 15:00 guests as well. And of course, one of the 15:03 producers there-Ray Young- a great guy. I know him and 15:06 and his wife, Debbie from ASI. I have known him for years. 15:09 Great Christians and they love Jesus-you know. 15:11 He has been such a blessing. Really. I mean, this is 15:15 another thing Danny-because you know we have so much going on 15:18 here and "Dare to Dream" is the new baby for 3abn. So we've had 15:22 to do some things externally and Brother Ray stepped up to the 15:26 plate and then we had the hosts that were available and so again 15:30 God has just been opening doors for us-amazing doors and 15:34 I am really thankful. I had heard about this next little 15:39 segment. The host of this next segment-I heard about him 15:42 from some other folks and I checked him out on You Tube 15:45 In fact, no, I was looking up some things on You Tube, and 15:48 saw him and thought, wow! this guy sounds like he's 15:52 Seventh-day Adventist. Sure enough, I found out that 15:56 Chris Hudson, Christopher Hudson is a Seventh-day Adventist 15:59 and he has "The Forerunner Chronicles" 16:02 and it is cutting edge. Take a look. music playing 16:05 Music playing... 16:16 Hi and you are now with "The Forerunner Chronicles" 16:19 All right everybody, I have a question for you. How important 16:24 is entertainment in your personal life? Now, the reason 16:28 why I ask YOU this particular questions is because over the 16:33 course of the last few months, I have received this very same 16:37 question from thousands of individuals -all throughout 16:41 the world and I am talking about thousands of text messages 16:45 and E-Mails, even phone calls in the very middle of the night. 16:49 It's obvious to me, people are truly concerned about what 16:53 role of importance, entertainment should play within 16:56 their personal lives as well as in the lives of their 16:59 family members and they want to know whether or not 17:01 entertainment should hold any role or significance whatsoever 17:07 within their households. When we look out into society, and 17:10 I am not just speaking of here in the United States of America. 17:14 I am talking about world-wide! It can be seen clearly that 17:18 the younger generation-the great majority, are devoting 17:23 an overwhelming amount of time and attention to being 17:27 engrossed within some form of entertainment-and this whole 17:31 phenomena of being wrapped up in entertainment-it's not 17:35 solely isolated to the younger generation. Let's be honest 17:40 everyone, the older generation as well have been overtaken 17:44 with this craze of entertainment. The love of 17:49 entertainment, the very presence of entertainment. 17:51 It is pervading every aspect of our society and especially 17:58 we see this within our inner cities and now, with the 18:02 technological explosion that is taking place-giving us 18:06 devices like iPads and iPods, laptop computers and smartphones 18:11 which pretty much have the same capability that our laptops 18:15 have. We now have readily at our disposal, gadgets that we 18:20 can wear on our wrists, place within our pockets or ladies 18:24 you can just drop them right inside of your handbags. 18:29 He is cutting edge. You know, for me, in my generation, 18:33 I won't include you because... Danny: you should, 18:38 we are the same age. There's a lot of visual 18:43 stimulation there and young people are used to that kind of 18:46 stimulation. You know, for me, just give me a book somewhere, 18:49 or a program, you know, television program, with just 18:53 one thing going on. But one thing I love about him is 18:56 that-he has a lot going on, he's very scriptural, 19:00 very Biblically sound, got great information... 19:03 Danny: He's got the high tech stuff that's going on that 19:05 grabs people's attention. Yvonne: It does. It does. 19:07 Danny: Rightfully so. Yvonne: Yeah, it does. 19:09 Well, another issue that we have going on in the African-American 19:15 community is that issue again of the erosion of the family 19:19 and a lot of promiscuity happening which is a problem- 19:26 not just in the African-American community, really, 19:28 I mean, it's across the board. So I don't want any of our 19:31 viewers to think, oh, we are just picking on the 19:33 African-American community or the inner city. No... We know 19:36 that this is a problem across the board -that sexual purity 19:40 is an issue that has to be dealt with and so, guess what? 19:44 We have a program for sexual purity and it is called 19:47 "Pure Choices" Danny, I am so excited about 19:51 this program too because- I had gone to Oakwood 19:54 to hear... what was I there for? Danny: Oakwood University 19:58 Yvonne: Oakwood University Thank you. They were 20:00 Oakwood College and now they are Oakwood University... 20:04 It was a campmeeting and their featured speaker for 20:07 that evening, for Friday evening was our host, Pr. Seth Yulorda 20:12 and so, as he was talking about his journey, the Lord laid it 20:17 on my heart. Ask him about "Pure Choices" and sure enough 20:21 he said that he would do it, he consented to do it 20:25 and he has done an outstanding job. He brought in some 20:28 panelists - take a look watch this... 20:31 Yeah, I do, because were made- the Bible makes it very clear 20:35 that we were made to create- there's a desire in us to do 20:38 that and what they are doing to me is that... I think they 20:41 play off of that, and, let's not... I don't think we should 20:44 kid ourselves and think that they don't look at those things 20:47 and say you know what believe in that. Maybe even some 20:50 of them do understand that we are created this way 20:53 and so if we can just keep pushing and pushing and 20:54 pushing it, it no longer becomes something that we should 20:57 wait for- I've got to get it right now. Because for me 21:00 it's all about fast- it's all about being fast. 21:02 I was just going to add on to that. You know, it's just 21:07 that everyone is searching for fulfillment, and it's 21:10 just kind of a short cut, and so I can actually get fulfillment 21:13 instantly by just engaging in this type of activity... 21:18 as opposed to... just the time just putting in the effort, 21:22 making all the necessary deposits, so that I can actually 21:26 have to choose from... Let's just say, 21:28 let's skip everything, let's skip all of the necessary 21:32 time it takes to really build a relationship and to actually 21:35 have a commitment and just... you can just have it right now.. 21:41 Their interaction... it's just it's so, it's so 21:44 there's a synergy there that they have... 21:46 Danny: Yeah. There's so much going on the host really 21:49 didn't get the time to say anything... and that makes a 21:51 good program, really, when you got that much interaction 21:54 going on. I love it. They just blend really, really 21:58 well. Again, God just brought the right people into this 22:02 whole deal and I am just extremely excited about it. 22:04 Well you know, "Dare to Dream" could not be 22:07 "Dare to Dream" and not have a music program. 22:09 You know, we have to have a music program and the 22:13 hosts for this program are Duane Starling and yours truly 22:17 and so, you got to hear Duane sing. I am hoping that 22:20 that we have a clip of him... But let's take a look at who 22:23 we have. Danny: Okay. 22:25 Be stronger, cry no longer and I'll never wander, from your 22:40 love, no more, and I'll be wiser now, not like before, if I only 22:58 take your hand, and don't let go. I can be the one I intended 23:13 The one that you need Lord and I can go beyond the circumstance 23:28 Down on my knees, when I am down on my knees, I see my way now, 23:45 Now that I found, one who knows how, and He cares to show, and 24:01 He'll protect me from all that I don't know, if I only take 24:15 His hand, to believe that I can stand, if I only take His hand 24:30 I can be a better man, Lord I'll simply take, I'll take your hand 24:44 Please don't, don't let go. Don't let go. 25:00 I'm Counting on you. 25:14 Danny: Amen Yvonne: Amen. Magnify Him. 25:19 That's our music program and the whole idea is to just lift 25:22 up the Lord. To show the music ministries and to lift up the 25:26 Lord. And what a lot of people may not know about 25:28 Dr. Yvonne Lewis -she is not only a Naturopathic doctor, 25:33 but you have a history and for many, many years-sang out 25:37 in the secular music and in 1985, you gave your heart back 25:42 to the Lord and really got serious for the Lord and you've 25:46 been singing for Him ever since, but Yvonne-Dr. Lewis has I think 25:51 8 platinum records with people like Luther Vandross, 25:53 Roberta Flack, Whitney Houston, and a number of those and she 25:58 sang jingles for Coco Cola and Pizza Hut and Charmin and a lot 26:04 of different commercials, and so, you have a tremendous 26:06 background and I am so thankful that Yvonne Lewis 26:09 is using her talents- her gifts and her abilities. and by the 26:12 way, we want to hear you singing more. I notice what you are 26:15 doing-you are putting everybody else up there in these 26:17 in these program-singing and you are not doing much 26:19 but you are a blessing not only because of the great 26:22 gift of the instrument that you have but because of your 26:25 sincerity and your love for Jesus shines through so what is 26:29 commonly known as an anointing it's all over you when you sing 26:33 so you ministered to me and 1000's and multi-1000s of others 26:37 others around the world-so we want to keep using that talent. 26:43 Praise the Lord. Thank you. God has been so good in just 26:47 bringing this whole thing together. I praise him and I am 26:52 so thankful for 3abn and for you and your vision-you know to 26:56 get this thing started and for the crew, everybody here, has 27:00 just been an amazing blessing. So we want you to make sure that 27:05 you tune in and watch "Dare to Dream. " "Dare to Dream" 27:09 is going to be an amazing network, by the grace of God, 27:12 because God is bringing this to you. Danny: And call your 27:16 cable stations and request "Dare to Dream" and they will 27:19 be able to find us. Say, 3abn's "Dare to Dream" for those of you 27:22 people who don't have satellite or regular television, you go in 27:26 your computer, type in 3abn, and go to the link, "Dare to 27:30 Dream" watch it there 24/7 what we are encouraging you to 27:33 do is call your cable companies and request 3abn. This should be 27:38 in every major city, not only in America but around the world. 27:42 Absolutely, Danny, you know I am so excited about what God 27:47 is doing and you are part of this. We need you to really 27:51 link arms with us in prayer, in financial support, and tell 27:55 your friends about "Dare to Dream" - you know, word of mouth 27:59 is a powerful, powerful way to spread the word. May God bless 28:03 and keep you as you honor Him and magnify Him. Tune in to 28:07 "Dare to Dream" music 28:12 music playing |
