Hey family. Welcome to another episode of Da Fixx! In this latest episode, we dove deep into the world of faith-based entertainment with a special focus on the series “Kingdom Business” on BET+. And a controversial real talk segment on “fake Christians”. It’s all about church culture, representation and community.
The Journey to the Screen
Our guests, the talented brother and sister duo Sis N Lil Bro, opened up about their incredible journey to securing roles in “Kingdom Business.” Sis shared her childhood dream of acting, inspired by none other than Halle Berry in “Catwoman.” Lil Bro, on the other hand, was more accidental in his acting pursuits, embracing the opportunity when it presented itself. Their connection to the show came through their manager’s relationship with the executive producer, Dr. Holly Carter, showcasing the power of networking in the entertainment industry.
The Church Community’s Mixed Emotions
As they discussed the series itself, it was clear that “Kingdom Business” has stirred a variety of emotions within the church and faith community. The show’s modern portrayal of faith has not been without controversy, prompting our hosts to explore whether it reflects the current gospel approach. This conversation offered a window into the experiences of Sis N Lil Bro as they navigate their acting careers while impacting the faith community.
Real and Raw Christianity on Screen
During the conversation, Focus and Dice couldn’t help but express our appreciation for “Kingdom Business” and its raw depiction of Christianity. It’s crucial to show the struggles and imperfections of Christians, highlighting the importance of engaging with the world without judgment. This portrayal resonates with many who seek authenticity in their faith journey.
Balancing Relationships and Careers
Sis N Lil Bro also delved into the complexities of managing relationships alongside their careers. Lil Bro spoke about his committed relationship and mentoring his girlfriend in faith, while Sis discussed her approach to casual dating, emphasizing intentionality as a public figure. They both underscored the need for understanding and support from their partners, given the demands of their careers in the spotlight.
Marriage, Music, and Mentoring
The conversation took a turn towards the shifts and challenges that come with marriage, the significance of taking time for oneself, and the grace needed in pursuing relationships. Lil Bro reflected on the honor of contributing to the “Kingdom Business” soundtrack and the creative process behind remixing a classic gospel song.
“Who Dat” – A Cultural Anthem
Our hosts also had the chance to talk about Sis N Lil Bro’s latest single “Who Dat,” discussing the unique writing approach and the departure from their previous musical style. The positive reception and anticipation for the upcoming music video was evident, and their gratitude for the support from Holy Culture Radio reinforced Da Fixx’s mission.

The Call for Authentic Transformation

Focus and Dice emphasized the need for genuine transformation and daily renewal in faith. Drawing an analogy to work responsibilities, our hosts discussed the commitment required in the Christian journey, stressing the importance of prayer, humility, loyalty, and responsibility.
Living Out Loud: The Christian Witness
As Focus and Dice continued, the topic of Christian behavior and representation in the world came to the forefront. Our hosts talked about the need to embody Jesus’ teachings and to live a life that genuinely reflects faith. The role of social media, the responsibility of Christians to maintain a positive witness, and the pursuit of spiritual maturity were all points of discussion. They drew inspiration from the apostle Paul, urging believers to live in obedience to God and to examine their actions closely.
Embracing the Life-Changing Power of Faith
In a powerful message, we are reminded that God is not keeping track of our mistakes but is instead a source of love and forgiveness. Our hosts encouraged listeners to start their relationship with Christ, find a Bible-based church, or seek a mentor to guide them in their faith journey.
Conclusion: A Message of Hope and Encouragement
To wrap up, Focus and Dice leave us with a message of hope and encouragement. Urging everyone to focus on turning negatives into positives and prioritize the advancement of God’s kingdom. It’s about taking that first step in faith and finding the support within a community of believers.
