Broadcasting from the One Voyage Cruise, Erica Campbell opens “Get Up Church” with prayer, laughter, and gospel music, then highlights the day’s features including Sybil Wilkes’ news and listener birthday shout-outs. Wilkes reports on historic U.S. Senate races involving Black women candidates, a Louisiana Black farmer’s Senate run, rising costs of the Iran war, and Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation giving $25,000 to Camp HBCYou. Erica’s Faith Walk centers on choosing forgiveness to avoid emotional and even physical harm, while the E&G “True Hollywood Bible Story” retells Genesis 19, warning not to “look back” like Lot’s wife. Erica’s “Erica-ism” encourages pacing how you share information so others can receive it. Guest Jonathan McReynolds discusses his single “Echo,” inspired by his mother and grandmother’s prayers, and his live Chicago-recorded album “Closer,” plus touring and community on the cruise.

When life gets heavy, prayer, praise, and enduring love can remind you that you are never carrying the weight alone. On Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Erica reflects on the people whose prayers have covered, protected, and encouraged her, challenging listeners to recognize who has been praying for them—and to intentionally lift up the names God places on their hearts. Research on prayer and daily well-being underscores how closely prayer practices can reflect our emotions and everyday experiences, adding another layer to Erica’s call to remain grateful, attentive, and willing to do the work that follows faith.

In the Faith Walk, “Sacrifice of Praise,” Erica draws from Hebrews 13:15 to explain why praise matters most when grief lingers, prayers seem unanswered, or exhaustion sets in: the sacrifice is choosing to thank God aloud even when it is difficult. Love Talk becomes especially personal as Erica says goodbye to longtime family friend Miss Nadine Armstead and reconnects with the village that helped raise her. Surrounded by memories, laughter, tears, and a family legacy that includes 77 great-grandchildren and 26 great-great-grandchildren, Erica shares a moving truth echoed in modern grief perspectives: meaningful bonds can continue through memory, values, prayer, and the love we carry forward.

Before you walk away, renew your coverage, or chase your next opportunity, a little wisdom can change your next move. On Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Love Talk challenges listeners not to mistake a missed call or delayed text for rejection: have an honest conversation before calling it quits. Clear communication about feelings and needs—not expecting a partner to read your mind—helps replace assumptions with understanding. Then, Money Mondays welcomes finance and legacy expert Jini Thornton to unpack Medicare and Social Security for listeners and loved ones. Medicare open enrollment runs October 15 through December 7, with changes taking effect January 1; comparing prescriptions, doctors, and total costs can help families make informed coverage decisions. Jini also encourages checking eligibility for spousal, divorced-spouse, or survivor benefits rather than assuming your own work record is your only option.

In the Erica-ism of the Day, “Do It the Right Way,” Erica delivers a reminder to choose integrity over desperation. Reflecting on sharing rent with her sister Tina, struggling to afford groceries, and eventually receiving a life-changing publishing deal, she encourages listeners to work honestly, live within their means, and resist the pressure to keep up with someone else’s lifestyle. With laughter from Griff, vacation stories from the Get Up Church, and encouragement throughout, this episode brings together stronger communication, informed financial choices, and the courage to move forward without compromising your values.
