22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Baby letter, the subject how should I approach the pastor's wife?

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: All right, Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been in an entanglement

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: with this pastor that I met eight months ago. My

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: office shared a parking lot with his church, and he

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: always greeted me with Hello, brown Sugar. I eventually told

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: him my name because he's married, and I did not

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: want to appear to be flirting with a married man

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: and a man of God. I didn't entertain him at first,

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: but then he found me on social media and he

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: started in boxing me, telling me how lovely I am

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: and how good I smell. When I passed by him.

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: I told him about himself, and he apologized for making uncomfortable,

34
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: but he said he still wanted to keep in touch

35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: if it was okay. I told him it was fine,

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: even though I knew a married man should not be

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: inboxing me at all. We kept on sending messages to

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: each other, and eventually he started calling me. He's twenty

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: years twenty three years my senior, and his wisdom and

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: worldly knowledge had me hooked, so we started sneaking out

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: on dates on the other side of town. Now we

42
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: meet up for sex a lot, and it's so good

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: to be with an older man that knows how to

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: please me. Listen to this line very carefully. We've grown

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: into a very deep relationship, and he strengthened my prayer life.

46
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I've tried to leave him, and he tells me that

47
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: he might be the man of God. He might be

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: the man God sent to me, and I shouldn't question.

49
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: God's very confusing, and now he's paying most of my bills.

50
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: It's harder to walk away from him. I can't help

51
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: but think of his wife. So I've been praying about

52
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: leaving her husband for good and confessing my sin to her.

53
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: How do you think I should approach the pastor's wife? Okay,

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: please don't do that. Please. I mean, you're obviously a

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: young woman. You say he's twenty three years your singer,

56
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: but please do not tell wife. Don't do that. Excuse me.

57
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: The first lady, she's going to be devastated and it

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: will probably go not the way you think it's going

59
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: to go. Please don't do that. She doesn't want to

60
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: find this out from you. We're all adults here, you know,

61
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: right from wrong. There's so much wrong with this letter

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: that I hardly know where to begin, but I'll start

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: at the crazy place. For me, this was just crazy

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: to me, which is and I quote, we've grown into

65
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: a very deep relationship and he's athened my prayer life.

66
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: How does that sound to you? I mean, yeah, I mean,

67
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: needless to say, it's always good to strengthen your prayer life.

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: But with the married pastor you're sleeping with, I don't

69
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: think so. Do you honestly think God is pleased with this?

70
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Or he's going to be pleased with this? I mean,

71
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: this man again, is twenty three years your senior, so

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: he tells you things like, you know, like he might

73
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: be the man got sent to you and all of that.

74
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: And yes, that's confusing because he is a man of God.

75
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: So no, don't let it confuse you. Don't. Please, don't

76
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: let him play you like that. You know this isn't right.

77
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: If you're gonna pray about anything, please continue praying about

78
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: leaving him, and then leave him and think about getting

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: your life together without this pastor who you shouldn't be

80
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: sleeping with and who most definitely shouldn't be sleeping with you. Entanglement,

81
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: get unentangled with this guy? All right, Steve, what what

82
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: are these letters go from? From people? Our listener? How

83
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: should I approach the pastors? What? What? What? What you're from? Approacher?

84
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: And say what I've been in in an entanglement with

85
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: this pastor that I met eight months ago? Here's another question. Yeah,

86
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: this term that everybody uses now entanglement. Lem you know,

87
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: listen to me, y'all stop trying to give cute names

88
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: to ugly ass situations. One more time, one more stop

89
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: trying to give these cute names to ugly ass situations.

90
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: You're having an a foul with a pastor that's married.

91
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: That ain't an entanglement. That's at a fair, a dull tree.

92
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: It's a whole lot of stuff. It's not an entanglement.

93
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Anybody got you twisted up? All this is volunteer every

Speaker 1: married man, and you didn't want to be a flirting

97
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: with a married man. Y'all shared the same parking lot?

98
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,719

108
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: today's Strawberry Letters subject how should I approach the pastor's wife?

109
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: This woman is dating this married man who happens to

110
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: be able pastor. She's telling us how they met. The

111
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: church shares a parking lot with their office, and every

112
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: time he passed by, he said hello, brown sugar, and

113
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: she thought that since a married man shouldn't be hidden

114
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: on it, she would ignore it at first, and then

115
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: he found on social media and started DMO. Now she

116
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: says that she's been in this entanglement with this man

117
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: faith most this is the new term that they've come

118
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: up with. Uh, it's really sounds interesting. It isn't an entanglement, um,

119
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: y'all having a fan and somebody going to hell. That's

120
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: what this is from man, y'all having a fan, somebody

121
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: going to hell? Okay, cool, okay, now let's go uh.

122
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I didn't entertainment first, and he fired you on social

123
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: for me. They started in boxing. Tell you how love

124
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: you were and how you smell when you're passion. I

125
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: told him about himself, and he apologized for making me

126
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable, but he still said he still wanted to

127
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: keep in touch if it was okay. I told him

128
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: it was fine, you know, even though she said she

129
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: knew a married man should not be in boxing me

130
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: at all. And they kept on sending message to each other,

131
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: and eventually he started calling day twenty three years older

132
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: than this lady, and his wisdom and worldly knowledge got

133
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: me hooked. That that wisdom and worldly knowledge that's called game, lady,

134
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: that's called game. That ain't wisdom and worldly knowledge. That's

135
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: called game. The older you get, the more of it

136
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: you acquire, it's called game. Game. So y'all started sneaking

137
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: out on dates on the other side of the time,

138
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: You're bid, he's here with me, but my mind is

139
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of time. Whoa missing me? Around

140
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: one more time. Your body is here my mind, I said,

141
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: I said, my body is here with you, but my

142
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: mind is on the other side of town. Whoa missing

143
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: you around? All right? So y'all started sneaking out on

144
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: the other side of town. Now we meet up for

145
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: sex a lot, a lot. It's so good to be

146
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: with an older man that knows how to please me. Yeah.

147
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: I keep telling y'all, the only you get, you're gonna

148
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: gain some knowledge, experience, game. You gotta have stuff to

149
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: match your game. All right, they got it. Here we

150
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: go again. Now we've grown into a very deep relationship,

151
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: and he's strengthened my prayer life. Let me ask how

152
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: has this strengthened your prayer life? Help me? Is it

153
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: because now you're in a situation you ain't gotten over.

154
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: You're talking to God more than you ever have before

155
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: because you got yourself into a situation you don't know

156
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: how to hand how well. I understand sometimes to take

157
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: people to go to prison to find God. So maybe

158
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: this for you has strengthened your prayer life. Okay, well,

159
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: let's just take a look at that. Let's see how

160
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: this goes. I've tried to leave him, he tells me

161
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: that he goes to other line, that he might be

162
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: the man God sent to me, and I shouldn't question God.

163
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. So what he was sent

164
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: by God to do what? I'm just ask you. He

165
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: was sent by God to do what? Yeah? That don't

166
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: make no sense. I've tried to leave him. He tells

167
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: me that he might be key word, might be the

168
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: man that God sent to me, and I shouldn't question God. What.

169
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: It's very confusing. And so now he's paying most of

170
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: my bills. Okay, okay, so now you kept Okay, So

171
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: now he paying most of your bills. That's probably with

172
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: church money. Yeah, you're in high Yeah yeah, yeah, it's

173

Speaker 1: got to come from somewhere. You know. I can't help

174
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: but think his wife. I think of his wife. So

175
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: I've been praying about leaving her husband for good and

176
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: confessing my sins to her. See, you need, you need,

177
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: you need to go to church because God voice has

178
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: no sin in it. So God ain't setting nobody in

179
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: sin on your behalf. And then next things right now,

180
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: when you confess your sins to her, she ain't God?

181
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: What did you confessing your sins to her? Fault? And
