In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of Teens Draw Near to God, Shirah Chante shares memories of her father’s advice — from “Don’t call me Charles” to “Marry a good black man” — and connects those lessons to biblical wisdom from Ecclesiastes and Genesis.

Through poetry, personal testimony, and scripture, she explores:

  • The power of fatherly influence
  • The spiritual law of reaping and sowing
  • Healing from abuse
  • Why “all is vanity” without God
  • And why teens must draw near to their Heavenly Father

If you’ve ever wrestled with parental expectations, painful relationships, or finding your purpose through trauma, this episode will encourage and uplift you.
