    Listening to her preach is like having a cup of coffee with an old friend. She'll make you laugh, cry, and glorify God the Father simultaneously. A real Kingdom treasure.

    What an inspiring interview!! My heart is overwhelmed by the passion of this great woman of God who refused to deny His call on her life and pursued His will and work that so many others might walk in their callings. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to hear from Dr. Claudette Copeland in her own words of her life of service to our Lord.

    I'd love to meet her. I remember those years of being told "women can't preach," but I can always share my story to help someone along the way. I don't need a pulpit to do that. Thank you, LORD.

    She preached a sermon at an EC Reems Women’s Conference, “Joy Comes in the Mourning.” This is in the early 90s. That message from Psalms 30:5. I believe she was preaching through her experience with cancer. Joy comes not in the morning but in the midst of the mourning, in the midst of the weeping. God is there.

    Thank you Dr. Frank Thomas for mining the volume of Black preaching genius to give us this diamond embodied in the flesh of Dr. Claudette Copeland. Dr. Copeland was the first womanist/woman preacher that I was encouraged to pay serious attention to when I began to discover my own preaching voice. I heard her preach a sermon on the Rape of Tamar where she called out patriarchy in the biblical text, naming it, male collusion. It blew my mind. And, I'm so glad it did.

    Thank you Mr. Thomas! The Reverend Dr. Claudette Copeland is one of my only favorite Pastors because she is the first woman Pastor I heard. I loved the way she brought the word, and she spoke with a soft boldness that touched my heart for I am a woman myself. I would buy her cassettes, yes cassette tapes, and listened to them over and over. I had never heard of a city called Nacogdoches. In one of her most powerful sermons, she said a phrase that I have used throughout my life, she said; " People have begun to believe their own propaganda!" She is a woman, daughter, and messenger of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to thank Dr. Copeland, if she ever reads this, know Dr. Copeland that I love you, and am so glad that you did become a physician of lost and hurt souls, and heal pain with the Balm of Gilead (which was one of your sermons)that no earthly physician of medicine could get to. Our souls, souls for Jesus, you have saved many and remember it was Mary who saw the empty tomb, and Mary who was one of the first witnesses of seeing our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Copeland is a Mary of our times. May God Bless her and her family always, and you as well Mr. Thomas!

    1:00:32 “For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely. They have treated the wound of my people carelessly, saying, “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace. They acted shamefully, they committed abomination; yet they were not ashamed, they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown, says the Lord.” - Jeremiah 6:13-15 NRSV 💙

    Dr. Copeland blessed me with this interview but what she said about her husband probably inspired me most. To have a woman of her caliber stand defensively and say my husband is why I am who I am says a lot about the caliber of man her husband is. I pray for the grace to have my wife say the same of me. Thanks for interjecting that into the conversation!

  • @danielleaurora9828
    @danielleaurora9828 Před 5 lety

    Her candor about how she came to ministry is enormously important for us to hear; for me to hear - “floundering” from shock and disappointment by church leadership who would deny me a recommendation into seminary because, I don’t have a familial history or a connection with a church family (I live in a rural area and have had health issues that preclude me from sitting in a pew - spine surgery) but I faithfully attend Rankin Memorial and other live stream services online as a sick and shut-in. Discounting my academic vigor, and scholarship...God showed me even church folk can be unkind. And to think, it was a women in the high places of ministry. So now there is other biases to consider - generational, and discrimination against the disabled, too. But, God! When he opens a door, no one can close it! Church membership is down, and of those who report going to church, they report only going twice a month. These are vital conversations Dr. Frank. Thank you. 🙏🏽❤️🤗 I hope to thank you in person one day.

    54:20 “You will say to me then, “Why then does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who indeed are you, a human being, to argue with God? Will what is molded say to the one who molds it, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one object for special use and another for ordinary use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the objects of wrath that are made for destruction; and what if he has done so in order to make known the riches of his glory for the objects of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory- including us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?”

    She says was looking and didn’t know it was jesus. Alls I can say is she’s pretty and I like her glasses. Our Ancestors were kidnapped and loaded onto The Good Ship Jesus. We accepted the god of the bible at the end of a whip, and we prayed to the god of our oppressors. Who’s prayers do we think he’ll answer? Black people are the prayingist, worshipping people on the face of this earth. We will out Muhammad Muhammad, out Pope the Pope, yet the most broken people in the world. Cute glasses though!
