In this groundbreaking episode of From Principles to Practice, Apostle Dr. Ivon Valerie delivers a heartfelt challenge to the faith-based community. Titled “The Church Must Step Up as Community,” this episode explores why the church—especially in the Caribbean and Black communities—sometimes falls short in supporting its members, while secular groups often excel in creating tangible, life-changing connections.
With scripture from Acts 2, Galatians 6:2, and James 2:14-17, Dr. Valerie calls on the church to rise to the occasion, meet real needs, and be the safe, supportive space it’s meant to be. This episode is a rallying cry for believers to stop waiting for others to lead and start taking action to embody the love of Christ.
