Hello World,

LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS, AND FINDING THE ONE…

FOOD. MUSIC. VENDORS. FELLOWSHIP.

Indulge in an evening of fun, music, and fellowship as we discuss love and living on purpose with Tony Gaskins and the Real Love Panel. Join us Sunday, April 2nd beginning at 5 pm at Impact Church (2323 Sylvan Rd, Atlanta, GA 30344) for this life-changing event!

We’ve heard it before: “Love is not an action, it’s a choice.” It’s time to dive deeper into understanding how to love, love in a relationship, SELF LOVE and find the one that is meant for you. Let Brand Success Coach & Lifestyle Strategist April Love, Special Guest Tony Gaskins, and Sam Collier teach you the secrets of love and living your ABSOLUTE BEST LIFE.

About A Gathering of Champions

A Gathering of Champions is a global platform and safe haven divinely inspired by God to transform the individuals who desire to live a purpose-filled life. We serve a God who is the same today, yesterday, and forever but we recognize that as we progress through the years, we must create more elaborate ways of connecting people with Christ. We want to inspire people to live the life they have always dreamed of through the application of God’s word.

Entertainment Veteran & Lifestyle Strategist April Love created and curated this faith-based global platform to inspire and transform lives. The goal is to empower individuals to create balance throughout the various aspects of life and create a safe space for all walks of life through the following mediums:

Fellowship

“We are better together” is not just a cliché but a foundational principle of the A Gathering of Champions mission. Between work, family, and other curveballs that life may throw our way, it can get a bit difficult to acquire those Christ-like connections that we are looking for. We understand that this faith journey should not be done alone so each gathering provides the chance for individuals to build bonds. The ones that provide support, accountability, and more importantly – love.

Vendors

We truly appreciate our vendors because they provide the opportunity for us to create a two-way blessing between the business owners and our champions. Not only are attendees are able to patron and connect with our hand-selected medley of vendors, but are also able to formulate connections with these entrepreneurs as they share their story and provide insight on what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

“The Talk” + The Love Offering stage

Often times, people tend to lose their sense of direction in such a fast paced, ever-evolving world. Rather than comparing yourself to others or trying to fit in a mold that was not designed for you, we will explore various faith-based topics that will assist every Believer on their journey. Each monthly theme includes special guest speakers that will inspire, encourage, and motivate you into the next phase of your life.

Previous speakers include Digital Marketing Guru AJ Joiner, Minister Sam Collier, Food Network Chef Lisa Washington and the Love Offering stage has welcomed musical guests such as Janelle Monae, Pastor William Murphy, Bishop Paul Morton, Chrisette Michele and many more.

Hello World,

My favorite Christian celebrity Sherri Shepherd, who was featured in my book “After the Altar Call: The Sisters’ Guide to Developing a Personal Relationship With God,” is a moving target, chile! Tonight she returns to the sitcom arena starring as researcher, Anne, in “Trial & Error” at 10 pm EST/9 pm Central on NBC! I’m sure her first career as a legal secretary in Los Angeles helped her to prepare the role!

The show synopsis is below…

TRIAL & ERROR — Pictured: “Trial & Error” Photo by: NBCUniversal)

In the spirit of true crime documentaries, this outrageous fish-out-of-water comedy centers on bright-eyed New York lawyer Josh Segal (Nicholas D’Agosto), who heads to a tiny Southern town for his first big case. His mission? To defend an eccentric “rollercizing” poetry professor (John Lithgow) accused of the bizarre murder of his beloved wife. Settling into his makeshift office behind a taxidermy shop and meeting his quirky team of local misfits, Josh suspects that winning his first big case will not be easy, especially when his client is always making himself look guilty.

The cast also includes Jayma Mays, Steven Boyer and Krysta Rodriguez.

Jeff Astrof and Matt Miller serve as writers and executive producers. Jeffrey Blitz directs and also serves as an executive producer. “Trial & Error” is produced by Barge Productions and Good Session Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Check out the trailer below!

So will you be watching Sherri Shepherd on “Trial & Error” tonight at 10 p.m. EST on NBC?

Tasha Cobbs Is Married Now! (PICS + VIDEO)

Hello World,

There are very few things I love more than a good wedding! Although I’m not a personal friend of vocal powerhouse and Grammy Award winner Tasha Cobbs who is known for her stirring songs such as “Put a Praise on It” and my favorite “Jesus Saves,” I shared in her wedding bliss via her Facebook and Instagram pages and other social media pages of family and friends. Tasha, who hails from Jesup, Georgia (also the hometown of one of my Delta line sisters) married Franklinton, North Carolina native Kenneth Leonard, Jr., who is the musical director for his now wife, Anthony Hamilton and Tamia Hill.

The private wedding, which took place on Friday at 7 p.m., was officiated by Bishop Designee Bryan J. Pierce Sr. The ceremony included a Prelude in which Isaac Carree sang “Still in Love,” the Processional in which Kierra Sheard sang “Bless the Broken Road” and Recessional in which Kierra also sang “Make Me Better.”

Some of the guests at the Cobbs-Leonard wedding were Bishop William H. Murphy III and Pastor Danielle Murphy, Bishop Designee Bryan J. Pearce Sr. and Lady Debra Pierce, Bishop I.V. Hillard and Pastor Bridget Hilliard, Pastor Preashea Hilliard, Dr. Ireshea Hilliard and Bishop Paul and Pastor Debra Morton, who were seated at Head Table B. Attorney Phaedra Parks from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and Gospel Singer James Fortune attended the nuptials as well. Entrees served at the reception were honey pecan fried chicken and braised short ribs with sides creamy corn souffle, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach with pearl onion…(I promise you every time I look at pictures of the food from my wedding reception, I get hungry…yes, I’m just greedy like that! LOL)

Below are a few of the pics below…

The beautiful bride…
