It's no profit to gain the world but lose your soul. Angela White explains why she chose to turn to God. Photo by ImagePress Agency / Deposit Photos She recently shared a glimpse of her testimony on social media while celebrating over 2 years of being sober. Formerly known as Blac Chyna, the model and television personality has attributed her transformation to her growing relationship with Jesus Christ. In a candid Instagram post, she writes, "I wasn't happy... I wasn't at peace...until I found Jesus." Angela made a drastic lifestyle change by quitting her OnlyFans career. While creating explicit photos online was lucrative, the model faced lawsuits and numerous expenses, which had her throwing away as much money as she made. On an episode of "Safe to Say", a podcast hosted by Heather Sanders, Angela explains that although she earned up to $450,000 a month, the enemy still had a hold on her life. She needed the money and was making millions, but had to stop because she felt she was moving backward. Angela White's Baptism & Bible College Degree Angela decided to get baptized on her 34th birthday in 2022. After taking that step, she realized she couldn't continue creating explicit content. She told Daily Mail,  “With me being baptized, that's just not what God will want me to do. It's kind of degrading... Now I'm just going by faith. I'm not even really going by like the Blac Chyna way or the Angela way. Let me just let God lead me." Letting God lead her has done her well! Since her initial transformation, she's earned a doctorate from Sacramento Theological Seminary and Bible College , and in March of 2025, she celebrated 900 days or 2.46 years of being sober.

She writes, "Every day we're faced with a decision...but we opt to exist in a world of deception that will never transform unless you transform."

Sing Kelly! They were a group for a season, but they're sisters forever. Former Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland shared a clip on social media singing the classic song 'God's Got It' by Reverend Milton Brunson. Michelle wrote in her Instagram caption that the clip was recorded on the way to Kelly's birthday party. She stated that Kelly "chose to have a moment of praise". Now, listeners want more Gospel music from the duo. But we can't forget the hits that Kelly has already given us. Photo by ImagePressAgency / Deposit Photos RELATED : Michelle Williams Says Her First Kiss & First Fight Were in Church Kelly has contributed to many incredible Christian songs over the years, and social media users affectionately nicknamed her Kelly "Mississippi Mass Choir" Rowland because her voice sounds like a whole choir when she belts. Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, & Michelle Williams Sing Gospel Acapella Here are 6 Christian Songs Sung by Kelly Rowland: Outro / Amazing Grace (1999) Destiny's Child chose to end their Sophomore album "The Writing's on the Wall" with a modern take on the traditional hymn Amazing Grace. It included all the dynamic components of Gospel music, including call-and-response, complex rhythms, and rich harmonies. The song was dedicated to the late Andretta Tillman , one of the group's initial managers. Outro (Amazing Grace) - Destiny's Child Good to Me (2000) It's no secret that the legendary duo Mary Mary grew up in a large family and suffered from financial hardship. Long-time fans were introduced to their testimony through the lyrics of the 10th track of their self-titled debut album. "Good to Me" ft. Destiny's Child is an upbeat tune with a positive message of thanksgiving. Kelly's sweet yet powerful vocals grace the second verse and were a gift to all the church kids who loved the pop group but weren't allowed to listen to secular music. Finally, we could bump a Destiny's Child track without getting into trouble with our parents for breaking the rules. Gospel Medley (2001) For their third album, the group returned with their first Gospel medley- an arrangement they later performed together countless times throughout their career. The medley included original lyrics written by Beyonce Knowles, paired with covers of the melody of Kirk Franklins "Now Behold the Lamb" and the outro of "Center of My Joy" by Richard Smallwood. The popular medley was also included on Michelle William's premiere solo album "Heart to Yours" in 2002. I Know (2003) This soulful track from Destiny's Child was initially featured on the Fighting Temptations soundtrack. However, staying true to tradition, Michelle Williams included the inspirational tune from the trio on her sophomore album "Do You Know," released in 2004. The song "I Know" incorporates storytelling over melodic guitar strumming and rhythmic drums. On the second verse, Kelly boldly proclaims, "You better be ready when He comes", and encourages listeners to hold onto God through the trials of life with her heartfelt ad-libs and intricate harmonies. You Will Win (2007) Kelly proved she could carry a Christian song on her own with this solo emotional ballad. Featured on the Spiriting Rising album, "You Will Win" is an encouraging yet highly underrated song. Say Yes (2014) After years of longing for a reunion, Destiny's Child fans were elated to see Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams reunite for another Gospel single. "Say Yes" was featured on Michelle Williams' album "Journey to Freedom". But it didn't stop there--for the Stellar's Award 30th Anniversay, the former group took the stage and gave a memorable performance at the Stellar Awards 30th anniversary . It's been over a decade since the release of a Christian song sung by Kelly Rowland and her former groupmates. What do you think?

Have you ever had a church crush? Being single, and saved isn't always easy. There's a lot of pressure on unmarried saints to find or be found by "the one". And for some--this is easier said than done. What is a Church Crush? Simply put--a "church crush" can be anyone who attends the same church as you who you deem to be a potential romantic interest. Church crushes can be old, young, or anything in between. You might hope to pass by them during offering, catch up with them after Sunday service, or even see them at bible study during the week. Church crushes can end tragically when you find out the other person doesn't reciprocate your feelings. But some church crushes turn out to be a dream come true . For example, NBA Player Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha met at church and have built an amazing family and several businesses together. Photo by ImagePressAgency / DepositPhoto Interacting With Your Church Crush Christian content creator Elijah Seawright ( @thass.lijah ) did an amazing job capturing the experience many people have when navigating romantic relationships in church. The easiest way to interact with your "church crush" is usually to go out to eat after service. RELATED: Michelle Williams Says Her First Kiss & First Fight Were in Church We asked our Instagram followers if this method of "macking" is effective. Most women answered yes. However, some users feel like there aren't a lot of viable choices for dating in the church. Many women feel that there aren't enough men, or the men aren't as upfront or direct about their interest. On the other hand, men often have difficulty finding a member of the congregation who aligns with their physical preference or possesses the character traits they desire in a wife. So, this begs the question--is the church congregation still a good place for people to meet their spouses? According to Nashville, TN influencer @itsdchanel , it can be. But there are certain qualifications you have to look for. Many churchgoers meet the love of their lives at church convocations. Her dad thinks this is the route she should take: Our Instagram followers were torn. Would be better for D.Chanel's daddy to bring her home a church crush or should she try to find love on her own? The rules for dating in the church can vary across denominations and assemblies. Some people believe the pastor and the church should provide guidelines and opportunities for matchmaking. Others suggest leaving it up to each individual. Give Your Church Crush To God Regardless of differing opinions, one thing is certain. If you're single but want to get married, you should put God first and pray about anyone you may be interested in. Feelings lie and sometimes people do too! But God will never steer you wrong. Would you date somebody you met at church? Let us know in the comments!
