TD Jakes had the joy of uniting with Charlamagne Tha God for a terrific discussion of his book, #ShookOne. This conversation could empower you to conquer the inner forces that thwart your growth. Someone you know needs this. Is it you?
Charlamagne Tha God is co-host of The Breakfast Club, a popular nationally-syndicated radio show where Bishop previously appeared as a guest. He also hosts the podcast Brilliant Idiots and, like TD Jakes, is a New York Times bestselling author. Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It was his first book followed by Shook One.
TD Jakes calls Shook One “powerful”, “provocative,” and “transparent.” Its subject matter concentrates on dealing with anxiety, the effects of PTSD and how mental health issues are often overlooked in today’s culture.
Charlamagne speaks about his childhood, the environment and experiences that contributed to his anxiety and panic attacks, and interestingly, he talks about how finally finding success added to his mental health issues rather than easing them. He discusses how fear was a strong motivator, driving him to succeed, yet as soon as he “arrived”, his anxiety became more “overwhelming.”
TD Jakes and Charlamagne discuss how Christians often feel that church should be enough to address mental health issues like anxiety and depression, but there is often not a “sole spiritual antidote” for mental illness. In many cases, professional therapy is necessary to address these issues.
Charlamagne’s book Shook One is relevant, timely and honest. Watch the full discussion and be sure to subscribe to the TD Jakes channel for more enlightening conversations.

I appreciated Jakes psychology. The fact that he's a man of God is secondary. It's his kindness, his considerations and observations. Christianity likes to think it has a monopoly on morals..but it doesn't. Kindness and consideration is the practice of the true religion. Christians hear all these mental triggers that Jakes drops on purpose. It's a great tool that any normal Christian would be mocked for. Submission to being taught is still the key and it's all still psychotherapy.
Thank you both for such an interesting conversation.
This was a great interview. I’m not as familiar with Charlamagne (I’ve seen him in maybe two interviews), but this gave me a better portrait of him. I also appreciated Bishop Jakes’ relaxed style. I agree with others that this generational transfer was necessary and inspiring. Blessings to them both.
Bro… your story is so similar to mine. And you write with such freedom and poise, amidst major noise that could have made you totally a SHOOK ONE. God bless you bro. I hope you will impact the 'Mobb Deep' with this SHOOK ONE bro… God bless you
This is a Great interview….
You guys are my family
This is Therapeutic to me
T.D. Jesus is the only way. He is the Christ. The Bible is the only reliable truth. Other things and books leads us down a hopeless road.
Is transparency a virtue in it self? If yes. How so?
Amen
Man this is like a father son conversation
watching Charlemagne use the "white privilege" term and over using to describe hard working people reminds me why I voted Trump.
Water 💦 power is a real.
Td just open and loving. Charlemagne – such self awareness x x
Absolutely powerful!
I loved that Bishop didn't judge him about bringing up astrology. That, is a man that I love, and adore. Just goes with the flow of the Holy Ghost.
So TD Jakes says mental illness isnt a spiritual issue. So Pharisee, wat pills did Jesus giv2 th demoniac wen he was cutting himself up n th grave yard? Uv becom so diluted tht ur only useluf2 th corporate world. God says, if u make my word out2 b a lie, Il exppse u4 th liar tht u r. WOW!
What an interview!
GREAT INTERVIEW T.D. JAKES.. I WANT TO HEAR MORE CONFESSIONS. ❤
Who named this man Charlemagne the god? What's his real name???
What a great conversation
The mind…us as cancerians I'm sooooooo proud of you lenard… definitely beat the odds. Praise God for your worthy
Great interview Bishop! God will give charlamagne da god" a Saul-Paul experience.🙏
2:20–2:30-what an open opportunity to share Christ's redemption with this man. He's hungry for change, to be free from the world's chains…say what you want, but everyone at some point in their life will face that emptiness and begin their search for more. Hopefully it will lead the person to the Cross…😊🙏. Be blessed.
Very good interview, they spoke on something that really made me question myself on my own self worth. Damn near cried.
Angela Rye did not coin that term. It was Dr. Joy Leary
36:44 he got me there….I felt that hard 🙏🏽
I love this episode! Thank you for opening my eyes.
what's the song at the beginning???
This is an awesome interview. I've always liked the way Charlamagne dealt with celebrities like they are real people because they are real people. I have a greater respect for him. I will keep him in my prayers.
Interesting to see these two together. I can barely wait to get through this interview and read his book!
U both are a inspiration to many…I love T.D Jakes. Yes i need this empowerment for me as well,Thank u
This is a good one
I have so much respect and adoration for Bishop Jakes. However, this interview was missing a of things as it relates to the body of Christ. Also, did Bishop refer to him as Charlamagne the God?? There is only one God and Bishop being the man of the cloth that he is should have referred to him by his real Name or Charlamagne only!!
I Wish XXXTENTACION Could Have Been Apart Of An One On One Conversation Wish TD Jakes 😞 Would have been very nice to see.
This is an epic moment

That blessed me so much…I feel like I heard from God about where to start on my book that he told me to write 11 years ago…
