Welcome to the Watchmen Arise Blog!

  I didn’t know which direction to take with this blog post. Like so many, I was deeply saddened by the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Though I didn’t personally know him, I grew up watching The Cosby Show , a groundbreaking series that not only shifted the landscape of entertainment but also had a profound impact on the Black community. As I watched the many condolences being shared, I couldn’t help but think about the incredible influence he had—not just within the Black community, but on the world of entertainment as a whole. His family has every reason to be proud and to celebrate the life he lived. In reflecting on this, I was reminded of a sobering truth: time waits for no one. Time is a precious gift. Just as we don’t know the day or the hour when Jesus will return (Matthew 24:36), we also don’t know when God has appointed our time to leave this earth. We must make the most of every moment we are given. Growing up, I would often hear adults say things like, “When I ret...

  Meet Minister Lorri Weaver— A true Titus 2 Woman! In this week’s blog, I am honored to shine a light on one of the remarkable individuals who faithfully serves within the Watchmen International community. It brings me great joy to introduce Minister Lorri Weaver. I have had the privilege of mentoring Lorri through discipleship and witnessing her growth in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord. Our connection was not the result of coincidence — it was divine providence. Lorri often shares how she had been seeking women of God who were authentic and steadfast in their walk. In 2020, during a 24-hour prayer event I participated in, Lorri encountered me and several other women of faith for the first time. What began as a single moment of connection blossomed into a lasting sisterhood. Lorri is a military veteran and a former healthcare professional. Alongside her service, she is the proud mother of four beautiful children and three wonderful grand-loves!! Beyond her professional accom...

As we enter the seventh month of the year, it’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed. For some, these past months have been filled with blessings, open doors, and answered prayers. For others, the journey may have felt slow, heavy, or uncertain. But no matter where you find yourself today — whether you’re rejoicing, weary, hopeful, or still searching — I want to remind you: God is not finished with this year, and He is certainly not finished with you. Just recently, I was part of a prayer call where the Bishop shared a powerful word — this is our turning point . We are stepping into a new season — a season of newness and change. And while change can be uncomfortable, it is often the doorway to the very breakthroughs we’ve been praying for. I’ll be honest — I didn’t always embrace change. Growing up, especially during those pivotal pre-teen and teenage years , my family made two significant moves that left a lasting impact on me. Those transitions shook my sense of stability and...
