He told her he didn’t want to get married. She didn’t cry, didn’t beg, didn’t ask why. She left — and started dating a millionaire major league baseball player.
A year later, a broke, overweight preacher called her and said five words: “God said you’re my wife.” She said okay. That was 31 years ago.
In this episode of Initiated By God, Jessica Laine MacDonald sits down with Bishop R.C. Blakes and Lady Lisa Blakes — the couple behind The Father Daughter Talk, Queenology, and a global movement healing women around the world. They open up about losing their entire church overnight in Hurricane Katrina and rebuilding from zero at 40, the depression nobody saw while he was saving lives every Sunday, and how Lady Lisa turned surviving childhood abuse into a ministry that fills altars with women who thought they were alone.
Bishop Blakes breaks down the father wound — how it gives the world access to a woman’s soul, why it’s the root of “my type,” and the biggest lie wounded women tell themselves. Plus: why you should never marry potential, what an unhealed person looks like inside a marriage, why happy marriage became taboo, and the generational curse they intentionally broke in their son.
“Everybody wants the anointing. Nobody wants the crushing.”
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep choosing the same kind of person — this conversation is the answer.
