On this episode of Da Fixx, we were thrilled to have multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, contemporary gospel star, worship pastor, and music mogul, Dr. Charles Jenkins, as our guest.

Gratitude and Generosity: The Cornerstones of Our Show

We started the episode by expressing our gratitude for the opportunity to share our thoughts and encourage our listeners through our radio show. We believe in the power of generosity and the importance of being willing to bless others. It’s a principle that we hold dear and one that we hope resonates with our listeners.

Celebrating Young Achievers and the Importance of Education

We highlighted the achievement of a 15-year-old girl from Oklahoma who graduated from college with honors. This remarkable feat underscores the significance of education and the potential of our young black graduates. We encourage more young black students to pursue higher education and strive for excellence.

A Candid Conversation with Dr. Charles Jenkins

We were excited to have Dr. Charles Jenkins on our show to discuss his latest EP, “Gospel Music Changed My Life.” Before diving into the music, we explored his views on marriages within the Christian community, especially given the number of marriages that have crumbled during the pandemic. Dr. Jenkins emphasized the importance of communication, commitment, and seeking God’s guidance in maintaining a strong and healthy marriage. His insights were enlightening and we appreciated his openness on the topic.

The Impact of the Pandemic on Relationships

Dr. Jenkins also discussed the impact of the pandemic on relationships and marriages. He believes that the pandemic forced people to spend more time together, leading to conflicts and challenges. Financial issues also contribute to relationship problems. However, he emphasized the importance of fortifying friendships and having a deep appreciation for each other, despite flaws and disagreements.

Charles Jenkins: The Journey of a Musician

Dr. Jenkins shared his journey as a musician, how he initially resisted the idea of becoming an artist, and how God led him to pursue music. He had to reinvent himself and embrace a new version of himself. His latest EP, “Gospel Music Changed My Life,” is a tribute to his gospel choir days in high school and features a mix of contemporary and traditional music. He believes in creating music that brings joy and celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed away.

Embracing Technology: A Necessity in Today’s World

We discussed the importance of embracing technology in today’s world. Learning how to use technology can be challenging, especially for those who are not familiar with it. However, it’s essential for various aspects of life, such as education, healthcare, job applications, and communication. We shared personal experiences of using devices like the Apple Watch and Alexa to stay connected with family members and ensure their safety.

The Importance of VPN and Continuous Learning

Dice Gamble emphasized the importance of using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to protect personal information while using devices connected to the internet. He also stressed the importance of having a hard copy of important information, such as investments, in case of internet outages. We encourage our listeners to ask for help and learn from others, regardless of their background, in order to expand their knowledge and skills.

The Future of Transportation and the Power of Solar Energy

We also touched on the future of transportation, specifically electric cars. We expressed our desire for Elon Musk to create a larger electric SUV to accommodate taller individuals. Dice mentioned the benefits of investing in solar panels and how it can eventually pay off.
