Relentless Church First Lady Aventer Gray Asks for Prayer for Pastor John Gray Who Is In the Hospital With a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism…

Hello World,

Relentless Church First Lady Aventer Gray is asking for prayer for her husband Pastor John Gray as he battling a saddle pulmonary embolism! Check out her heart-wrenching social media post from yesterday below…

Hello family. My family and I stand in need of a miracle. Please keep my husband @realjohngray in your prayers.

After feeling a little different over the past couple weeks, he went to the ER on Thursday evening and was immediately admitted to CCU with A saddle Pulmonary Embolism in the pulmonary artery and more lung blood clots. The Saddle PE is in a position that could potentially end his life if it shifts at all. The clot burden is severe and only God is holding it in place. He is currently in CCU and based on CT & Echo we will need two types of surgery due to the pressure now on the heart within the next 24 hours. To place this in perspective, the doctor said that people have come into the hospital dead with this exact scenario he walked in with.

The Doctor said God has to keep him through the night and he can not move, not even get up to walk to a bathroom.

Ok, COOL! Thanks ma’am! God isn’t done! I don’t care what CT, ECHO, All or any of the tests show! It’s clear God isn’t finished. Clots have to bow to my God! That’s all! I need as many people who believe in the miracle healing power Of Jesus Christ to join me and my family and our church as we cry out on behalf of John W. Gray III.

I’m rocking with God, Relentlessly!

THANK YOU TO OUR @relentlessgreenville @relentlessatlanta & our @lakewoodchurch for those that showed up physically literally already and reached out in multiple ways after just the word of mouth! We love you all!
My goodness, right?! Pastor Gray certainly needs our prayers…

Trailer Released for ‘Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul,’ A Satirical Comedy Starring Sterling K. Brown of ‘This Is Us’ and Regina Hall of ‘Girls Trip’…

Hello World,

I don’t know how to feel about this, but it does seem funny…sadly…See what I’m talkin’ ’bout below…

Focus Features, Peacock, and Monkeypaw Productions announce Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul., from Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% Productions, will open in theaters and stream on Peacock on Labor Day weekend Friday, September 2nd, 2022.

ABOUT HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL.

In Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul., proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, Trinitie Childs (Regina Hall) carries immense responsibility on her shoulders. After a scandal involving her husband, Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown), the church is forced to close temporarily, leaving Trinitie struggling to manage the aftermath. Now Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must rebuild their congregation and reconcile their faith by all means necessary to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen.

Hot off its exciting Sundance Film Festival premiere, filmmaking sibling duo the Ebo twins, writer-director Adamma Ebo and producer Adanne Ebo, make their feature film debut with production company Pinky Promise in this adaptation of their previous short film of the same name. This comedy features stellar performances from Regina Hall (Support the GirlsGirls Trip) and Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”, “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson”). It is produced by Academy Award® winner Daniel Kaluuya through his production company 59% with Amandla Crichlow; alongside Adamma Ebo, Adanne Ebo; Pinky Promise’s Jessamine Burgum and Matthew Cooper; Rowan Riley; Kara Durrett; and Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown. Monkeypaw’s Jordan Peele executive produced.

See the hilarious trailer below…And is it just me, but doesn’t it seem like Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. was filmed at the same church where OWN’s “Greenleaf” was filmed?

With twins, I don’t have time to watch everything, but I will make time for this…particularly since I’m missing “This is Us” and OWN’s “Greenleaf”…
