In this raw and powerful episode of Speak Your Truth, Reverend Dr. DeShaun Williams calls out a hard truth many avoid: if you call someone your friend but you’ve never supported what they’re building—you need to reevaluate what friendship really means.

This episode pulls no punches as DeShaun explores what it really looks like to support a friend who owns a business, has stepped into ministry, or is chasing their purpose. From the silence that wounds to the excuses that distance us, this conversation challenges listeners to examine the role they play in their friends’ journeys—and to ask the hard question: Am I really showing up, or just showing up when it benefits me?

Because true friendship isn’t passive. It’s not built on history alone.

It’s action. It’s intentional. It’s love in motion.

If you’ve ever felt the sting of being overlooked by the people closest to you—or if you’ve been the one sitting silently on the sidelines—this episode is your wake-up call.

Support isn’t always financial. But it should always be felt.

Listen now and be reminded: real friends don’t watch you build alone.

Too many of us are still waiting for someone to “let us in.” Still begging for permission to shine. Still hoping for a seat at someone else’s table.

But what if I told you… it’s time to build your own?

On today’s episode of Speak Your Truth, I’m going in on why you don’t need validation, an invitation, or anyone else’s approval to walk in your purpose. This one is for the bold. The overlooked. The builders. The cycle-breakers.

Listen now and be reminded: you weren’t made to wait—you were made to create.
