It was such a great public attack. There were many other ministers that also divorced from their spouses, yet I was singled out. People spent energy constructing websites about me that did not even attend my church. They spoke about my wife as though they were her sister. No one ever interviewed me.

What I did was immoral not illegal" says Dr. Jamal Bryanthttp://www.gospelcity.com/news/special-features/989We all have our favorite TV moms, for different reasons.

We all know that our ability to love and receive love from others is birthed in how we were loved. As well, the words spoken to us sometimes, to our detriment, will define us.
