Four years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. Today, I’m alive and cancer free, serving Him. He is truly the God of a million miracles. Thank you Jesus! I love you.

I know I’m nobody important but this is YOUR year Crystal 💛 I’m praying you get everything you deserve sweetie 🫶🏾

“See potential but don’t fall in love with potential” ❤❤❤ This was so rich!

I'm 59 years young, never married, no kids. I can relate, I processed all those emotions even when I felt I was making marriage an idol. I'm focusing on the ministry God has for me as well as trusting God's perfect timing for the suitable mate He has for me.

“Your needs need to automatically be his values” whew! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. As a 25 year old navigating life and relationships I love getting these gems from married couples.

This episode had me in a chokehold!!! I got soooo much from this. “Standards are not the ceiling, it’s the floor.” BABEE!!! 🙏🏾♥️🥰

“A vision so robust it needs other gifts” whew that’s a word!!!!

I’m 45 and have been single for 5 years and trust me I know how you feel. I pray to the Lord often about “sending my Boaz”.💜I have done the work on myself and I trust and believe that what the Lord has for us will truly be for us🙏🏾🙏🏾

Another great podcast topic. Loved it. Crystal hang in there. I was 38 when God sent me my Boaz. We're celebrating 4 yrs married in August. I too thought I was behind but nope God knew what I needed. Peace and Blessings Sis.

Only best friends can keep vows!!!

The blessing behinds still being single is that some of us didn't settle and not going through a divorce.

My Son & Daughter-in-law Much Love ♥ With One Of My Favorite Actresses ♥ All Stay Blessed ➕ 🙏 Yeah 👄 Yeah 👄

That pastor just dropped the mic on my head. In counseling, what most of them need is coaching. What they need individually is counseling." Why, So you get the healing you need from your Trauma so that you can be an unbroken partner ( I added that) but La- ord. Gooood!!!!!

I love how Crystal's face lights up! It just makes you want to smile

Keep it “ In Gods Timing” Sweetie.. these Gems 💎 were Crystal Clear… Don’t stop collecting Data people, even when you have a partner you evolve…💚🙏🏽💎🔑

Oh yes. TOTALLY AGREE. I got married young “19” and you don’t know yourself enough to speak your feelings because you’re still growing … you are evolving each moment.

Only best friends can keep Vows. I like that

#1 Dear Women... Women are to Present themselves and their interests... Men are to Pursue what is presented... that being said... I'm glad Pastor Daniels made it clear that Lady Shameka DID NOT pursue nor press him but, she merely presented and wasn't afraid of rejection because in all honesty Pastor Daniels could've taken the phone number with the intention to never call. My point is Ladies don't be afraid to Present or make your presence felt to the Man you are interested in. There are classy-clear-cut ways to do this without being "Thirsty" nor "Desperate" and let the chips fall where they may. GOD Speed to you all on your journey to a Healthy, Holistic relationship! #My2Cents

# 2 Dear Women... I implore you to Pleeezzzz don't gloss over what Lady Shameka said... people tried to make her feel like she needed a separate identity so that she wouldn't "LOSE HERSELF" but, she navigated those waters to come to understand that She took on Pastor Daniels last name not to Hyphenate it but, to Hydrate It (Water/Bring Life to)... that being said in her own words she said "I Love Being a Help meet" "I'm supposed to be His Wife" "I Love what I do!" There are evil, divisive schools of thought that are creeping into a significant about of Women's minds that are causing them to feel like being a Help Meet whose focus is to make the Legacy of the Last Name of her Husband Great (which is now her last name by the way) a bad, oppressive, suppressive, depressive thing. And if there is NO TOXICITY nor ABUSE then women are being 'hoodwink' 'bamboozled' 'dooped' out of marrital bliss, health, joy, and longevity. Lady Shameka dropped some classy gems. In the Bible David said "Surely Goodnes and Mercy shall follow me" ... that sounds like a shadow... Lady Shameka finds no shame in being the "Shadow" of Goodness and Mercy for Pastor Daniels. Thank you Lady Shameka for being transparent on this epidsode. #My2Cents

My favourite actress, Crystal, Gods timing is always The best. Trust him

It was the close up for me! “ I know I’m a wife”! The editing!! 🎉

No other podcast has kept my attention but this one, God definitely has his hands on you Crystal. From the time I saw you on Sistas you have been kind of a role model. Beauty, grace, hardworking. I hope you’ve found your person after the wait..

When Shameka said am I taken!!! Only Best Friends Can Keep Vows🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️. See potential, but don't fall for potential 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Your needs need to automatically be His values🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾. I Love this Conversation!!❤

I attend Change Church Global and I just loved this conversation. You can tell they are genuine and God lead. ❤

I love Pastor Dharius Daniels!

The Green flags shared by PD.. wow wow wow.. Crystal they've got to be back.. It was great listening to both of them.. As a 42 yr old single lady looking into marriage, i needed this! Bless you !!

Yes!! Love PD!! And Pastor Shameka. Thanks Crystal Renee.. you’re a blessing to the body of Christ!!

He even respects his wife with his eyes and words !

This was a great episode for me. I'm a divorcee of 15 yrs and single. I was married young and I wish I had done the dating and pre married counseling. Even though I am now 61 yrs I will be doing it for my next marriage. Yes, there will be another husband. God told me that when my ex was still in my home. I'm keeping it Positive Sweetie❤

I’m a boss Chick! Everything I do adds value. Whheeewwww love that Lady Shameka🔥💯💞🙏🏾

They became my COVID pastors.. I tell everyone about them, I've learned so much about myself from his teaching.

PD and Pastor Shameka are a powerful Kingdom couple! I enjoy attending Change Church in Atlanta!!! I thank God for them!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😃😃🙏🏽🙏🏽

I told y'all I was coming with my notebook for this here episode. Because even though I'm still "young" lol I am aiming to set the life I want for my future and the example I want my child to see. So here are my takeaways and please be patient with me because the might seem a lot but almost everything said in this video soaked deep in my heart. 1. When you first decide to "love the way God intended" it may not work out and this could be God just putting us into practice for the real deal. 2. Sometimes things will stay in the "grey" if you are assertive enough about your require him/her to make a decision on the relationship. Be clear of your expectations in order for the relationship to strive. 3. Carry yourself how you want to be treated and viewed. When Crystal talked about how people always think she's in a relationship just based on how she assert herself, yep that's me. 4. Getting coached throughout the dating process should be a together thing, while counselling should be more so individually. We have to work through our traumas and make sure we ourselves are whole before wanting to give of ourselves to another. 5. Dating is the gathering of data. Get to know him/her, have uncensored conversations, become best friends first because only "best friends can keep vows". 6. Your preferences can be negotiable but your standards should be absolute, they will in turn determine your green flags. 7. This on hits - "if you are not going to meet my relationship needs it is like telling me I can only shop in this store but you will put what I need on the shelves". Like make it make sense lol I mean. 8. You need to know what you want/need for yourself so that you know what to accept from the other. 9. Be super clear on what you feel like you have to have in a relationship to be fulfilled and whether or not that person is demonstrating that. Don't just go falling in love with potential. 10. Do frequent check ins with your partner, having those bimonthly or quarterly deep uncensored conversations helps to see where the relationship has improved and where it needs improvement. 11. "Your needs should automatically be his/her values". 12. Give yourself the permission to know what is your "too long" because only you can determine such. Keep it "honest, real and spicy" sweetie🥰🥰🥰. Loved this episode, listened to podcast getting ready for work thi morning and watched it when I got to work❤✨💝

I always tell my clients, when dating pay attention to the person's character when they don't know you are looking. How do they treat people? How do they react when things don't go their way? Etc . Does that line up with God, and does it line up with who you are looking for in a spouse. Great topic , and I love watching all of you guys I recently discovered Pastor Darius and his sermons have blessed me through a difficult time in my life. And Zatima / sistas is my whosa😅

I love the real conversations. "Am I taken?"

Only best friends can keep vows... that's deep💎

I love what she said when she said she was put in his life to add value! Wow that opened something in my mind

“Coach while courting” That’s what’s up💯💯💯 People need to be coachable and know that’s guidance is needed while dating💯💯

I clicked on this by mistake and glad I did!

I love my Pastor and my spiritual mother and they don’t even know they’ve been adopted by me.

Love these 2!!!! I remember first meeting them when they had their church in Ewing,NJ and going to this function they had at the bowling alley. They were so down to earth and you felt comfortable in/around their energy. Change church is the bomb and Pastor Daniel's is heavily anointed with the word of God!!!! Transforming lives one soul at a time❤

I love how Pastor Daniels state that when you have had enough, you know. I recall the same idea when I decided to get my divorce. Shout out to my pastor as well. Love y’all.

I love Pastor Dharius and Shameka. They compliment each other very well. I have been attending Change Church since Jan and I have seen the growth in myself.

Take your time and let the Lord lead you.

That's SOOO good! Don't fall for the potential you see, but what is demonstrated. I've done this WRONG and found my heart broken from the person I believed he could be, not the person he actually showed himself to be.

Sis I just turned 40 in May and also just waiting for whatever God has for me! Pray you continue to stay strong and do it His way! It will be worth it regardless!

“Only BEST FRIENDS keep vows “ that’s deep I ❤ it.

God is truly working on me. I have learn so much about myself in celibates and more time with God. I know that i cannot rush perfection .. So I will continue to wait on God.

Communication and understanding is needed for both individuals and when it’s one-sided, it’s super hard!

“only best friends can keep vows”❤🎉

God’s timing is impeccable!!

Hi Chrystal.......I'm listening at work......Love what you're doing these simple conversations really have ministered to me.....Thank you for being human and showing the world that we christian women deal with real life issues too. Things aren't always black and white but we can get through it through Christ Jesus our lord. Praying God's covering and will for your life. Please keep the videos coming. Such sound wisdom. 🙏🏽

I love Dharius! So enjoyed listening to him talk about how he met Shameka! Thank you for having this conversation. I'm binge watching your shows. I'm so like Dharius... I grew up knowing how to be a husband... I was raised to be a husband, but I had no knowledge or wisdom on how to date. Which has hurt me a lot in my dating relationships.

Pray for GOD's guidance to make it your year. See your happiness through your eyes....

remember that not every one that calls on the lord is with him ❤🙏🏽 Repent and turn from evil and accept Jesus as your lord and savior before its too late just confess it with your mouth and believe in your heart that he is lord and he is coming again God bless and keep you all ❤️🙌🏾🙏🏽

@Crystal Renee Hayslett I’m only four minutes in (and it’s the crack of dawn here), but this resonates with me so much and I’m focused. 38 and in the same boat with wanting that specific “I did it Your way” testimony. Thank you for sharing. Been loving @Dharius Daniels TV’s lessons and so happy to be introduced to @Shameka Daniels. I can already tell this video is going to be a gift that keeps on giving. God bless all of you, their current marriage, and your future marriage.

One More Thing I'm A Member Of Change Church ⛪ In New Jersey Also Blessed 2 Be A Mother Of The Church 🙏

I got certified as a marriage counselor and decided to counsel singles before they even start dating bc often as singles we don't know ourselves or what we want. Doing so helps us know what we desire in a mate and avoid making some critical errors.

I ABSOLUTELY adore Ms. Shameka! She is the embodiment of Godliness, humility, intelligence and beauty... LOVE HER!

This was truly the best thing that I never knew I needed on a Saturday afternoon! When I first saw the video, I assumed that I just happened to see it. But as a believer, I know better. For all who were gleaming from the conversation just as I was, I'm excited about our testimonies! 💖

Great episode! I found my best love and best friend when I got in my 40s. I pray for that for you that this will be your year for love! Continued blessings!

“I just need to know before I go here am I taken” I know that’s righttt👏🏾😭

This Episode was Soooo AMAZING I have been Married for 10 years….. this was Soooooo Good and The Daniel’s have dropped some AMAZING NUGGETS🙏🙌🏽….

Best relationship conversation on the internet! Thanks Crystal for sharing.

Crystal is arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world and she loves Jesus makers her angelic.

Only Bestfriends Keep Vows! Just being lovers will not get you through better or worse.👏

To GOD be the Glory for the things he has done:::: Thank you so much Crystal for sharing this episdoe!!! Keep shining Queen!!!

You are taken needs to be spoken. Or I’ll be living ahhh single! 💯🔥💃🏾

Such a good episode and what Pastor said about when you’re older you have done some of the work & know yourself more, so you’re not late it will happen in the time it supposed to. That was excellent.

Fullfillment vs. falling for potential. This is a shirt!!! Lord Jesus!!! Baby, he is so telling the truth. Hinsight 2020, my God. Married for 16 years, but my God!!

I so absolutely love their candid story!!! He was not letting her go to the Reservation~ Alcorn😍💜💛 without being claimed!!!😂The real ness is so needed and is totally a blessing!

Dating Standards List, Emotional Needs List, see potential not fall in love with potential, know yourself and your season, organic values and personal check ins. I loved this interview. Thank you! 🤗

This conversation was everything!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

Ready for this!

Sis God's got you. Keep trusting. He will surely come through for you. Much Love😘

So good! Thanks, Crystal, for helping the community ❤.

Very good! Thank you y'all 👏👏

I have 3 pages of notes. It's a blessing to be under PD's leadership. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Love y’all.

I wholeheartedly enjoyed everything about this episode!!!

🎉🎉yesss so ready I be looking for the Tuesday

Okay why am I only discovering this channel now?!???!?!?? I’M BINGE WATCHING AND LEARNING SOOOOO MUCH ❤ Loved this episode!

This couple is the salt of the earth. I have learned so much from their ministry, they don't play church they truly want to encourage transformation through Christ Jesus. They also sponsor an orphanage in Haiti.

This is your year, Sis🌹🎉! This or something even better still!

Congratulations Crystal! Love anything with PD and Shameka. Good takeaways!

Thank you, Mrs. Daniels!

I just love you crystal. My gosh you are everything!!

Keep it "God's time"sweetie 😘 in His own time He will make everything beautiful...love you crystal 💕🔮

"I need to know if im taking " i felt that 😊

Another great episode! So many takeaways..can't wait for the next one.

These 2 always provide gems !! 🔥🔥

I love my Pastors ❤

I love you both. Let's keep it positive, real and amazing❤❤❤❤❤

Love you Crystal.. thank you for this segment

Only best friends can keep vows. 🔥🔥🔥

I can absolutely relate! These dating streets are no joke. I felt like something was wrong with me cuz I'm in my early 40's and still not married. Thank you for being transparent and having this discussion. Loved it and it was helpful and encouraging. Wishing you all the best in your new relationship. Pray this is the love God intended for you!

“You can only shop at one store but what you need ain’t on the shelf” !! Emotional availability 👏🏾 Come on! 🗣️

“The similar way you would serve relational needs when you married, you practice that when you’re dating.” Love that concept. Of course we grow as we continue into our relationship to the next level. We should carry the same energy we put forth at the beginning of the dating phase into longevity when we marry.

I'm not even halfway through and I'm LOVING the conversation! I've seen Dharius Daniels preach at Transformation Church several times and I've always liked his style of teaching/preaching. Love he and his wife's relationship :)

Loved this episode with PD and First Lady Shameka❤
