On this episode of Da Fixx Morning Radio Show, we had an enlightening conversation with our guest, John Heath Junior. We delved into the importance of developing an authentic relationship with God, the significance of mental health, and the power of respectful communication.

The Power of Words and Respectful Communication

In our culture, it’s not uncommon to see disrespect being applauded. However, Dice and I believe in the power of words and the impact they can have on others. We discussed the importance of respect and how we communicate with others, a topic that may be tough for some to hear.

Introducing John Heath Junior: Artist and Motivational Speaker

We were thrilled to introduce our guest, John Heath Junior, a talented artist and motivational speaker. We discussed his latest single, “Holy,” a kingdom marriage anthem that speaks to the importance of love and intimacy in relationships. We expressed our support for clean music that carries a positive message.

The Impact of the Pandemic on Relationships

The pandemic has had a significant impact on relationships, particularly marriages. Many marriages crumbled during this time, and we attribute it to the fact that couples were suddenly forced to spend more time together due to lockdowns and job layoffs. This increased proximity revealed aspects of their partners that they may not have been aware of before.

Being Kingdom-Minded vs. Going Through the Motions

The conversation then shifted to the concept of being “kingdom-minded” versus simply going to church and going through the motions. John shared his personal journey of transitioning from being a churchgoer to a believer, and finally to a kingdom person. Being kingdom-minded means walking with God every day, seeking His guidance, and striving to live a holy life.

John Heath Junior’s Journey and Musical Inspirations

John shared his journey of leaving his corporate job to pursue his music career after receiving a message from God. He wanted a real relationship with God, rather than just going to church without feeling His presence. His musical inspirations include his father, a singer, and artists like Jodeci and Billy Joel. His musical style creates a vibe, with a mix of old school R&B and a good groove.

The Message Behind the Music

John emphasized that everything he does is kingdom-driven. He wants his music to represent God and the mission of the kingdom. He is not interested in creating secular music or being associated with anything that doesn’t align with his faith. His goal is for people to hear his music and recognize the reality of the kingdom and the possibility of having a relationship with God.

The Importance of Loving Communication

We concluded the episode by discussing the importance of loving communication in conversations, even when discussing difficult topics. We reflected on our childhood experiences and how they shaped our communication styles. We also acknowledged that disrespectful communication within marriages is a prevalent issue and stressed the need for respectful and loving dialogue.

Final Thoughts

As we wrapped up the episode, we reminded our listeners to remain focused on transforming negative situations into positive ones. We believe that Jesus Christ is the ultimate solution to all challenges and that advancing the kingdom of God should always be the ultimate goal.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope that our conversation with John Heath Junior has inspired you to strive for respectful communication, kingdom living, and a deeper relationship with God. Until next time, peace.
