Thank you Dr. Thomas for this interview, and Dr. Anderson Copeland for your reflection and transparency. You have been one of my favorite preachers for a long time. Thank God for the Spirit and the acacemic journey ( MSR ITC '13). Recommended NCCC to my sister as she relocated to the San Antonio area.
Thank you Dr. Frank Thomas for mining the volume of Black preaching genius to give us this diamond embodied in the flesh of Dr. Claudette Copeland. Dr. Copeland was the first womanist/woman preacher that I was encouraged to pay serious attention to when I began to discover my own preaching voice. I heard her preach a sermon on the Rape of Tamar where she called out patriarchy in the biblical text, naming it, male collusion. It blew my mind. And, I'm so glad it did.
Thank you for doing this interview on this wonderful Legend. ❤️
Thank you Dr. thomas for your vision and for your impartation you have shared over the years. I have always been inspired by Dr. Copeland since my introduction to her at Light of the World Christian Church, Bishop T. Garrott Benjaminm Jr. was pastor. I thank God for her trannsparency. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This was profound, deeply insightful, nourishing, and encouraging. I kept on going back for seconds, for I was sitting at my father's table, where I was served food from one of his daughter's powerful and enduring ministry!! Thank you Dr. Thomas. And God continually anoint Dr. Copeland.
Amazing, I’m thankful for this.
I love you Dr Copeland
AWESOME!
Who are you….in the preacher; authentic, have you been broken?! Humility there- availability?! Is there something there that God can use….
I just bought a pair of red glasses yesterday and this morning was looking for Claudette Anderson Copeland and discovered she has red glasses on this vid and I plan to wear that color hair on Sunday morning which is this morning. I too believe preachers are pimps but she’s very interesting though.
Pastor Frank, I was so deeply moved by this interview. Pastor Copeland words and spirit reached me in the deepest corner of my heart and sat with my soul. I resonated with her hunger for healing and calling to offer a sacred space to walk with others in their pain and healing process. Thank you for this and many of the other powerful interviews.

This Lady seems to be a loving and terrific mother and yet she talks about never having children. Her reward is so great I hope she knows. She is truly a great influence to all.
Omg this was very thought provoking and insightful, soul stirring. Thanks for capturing this Dr. Thomas.
She says was looking and didn’t know it was jesus. Alls I can say is she’s pretty and I like her glasses. Our Ancestors were kidnapped and loaded onto The Good Ship Jesus. We accepted the god of the bible at the end of a whip, and we prayed to the god of our oppressors. Who’s prayers do we think he’ll answer? Black people are the prayingist, worshipping people on the face of this earth. We will out Muhammad Muhammad, out Pope the Pope, yet the most broken people in the world. Cute glasses though!
Mine too.. Isaiah 6.. Love you Dr. Claudette!
Thank You Dr. Frank Thomas.. just thank you!
I am shopping the Spirit! Yes.. Wow.. Pentecostal in a BIG WAY!
Wonderful! I am blessed to have simply heard it.
She is one of the most profound and real preachers of all time. Have always loved and respected her!
Awesome… POWERFUL!!
I love her SOOO MUCH! I believe she needs to be ONLINE 24-7 just TALKING! I feel like we need to hear her because it seems like this is missed in church somehow! She's awesome!
Thanks for interviewing these anointed women who can preach and teach the gospel. Wonderful!
Grateful for this conversation.
This just blessed my spirit so.
Where are the giants! Where are the women of God who are willing to mentor today's female preachers?
Awesome Pastor I first saw her years ago with TD JAKE. I never forgot her, AWESOME
Thank you for hosting her.
THAT'S where I saw her, I don't remember topic or preaching words. DR. COPELAND made a great impact on me. Women conference. THANKS DR THOMAS.
Thank you mummy claudette for your transparency. I love you ma.
Thanks to Thomas for the platform and Special Thanks to Dr. Copeland for being a Phenomenal Gift to the Body of Christ!!
What Great Impartation she gave…
Profound and Convicting – Pastor C has been an inspiration on my life for years. I treasure the times she as visited my church.
She just preached to me during this interview!! Thank you so much Dr. Thomas for this and other interviews with these Awesome Men and Women of God!!!
WOW, Thank you Dr. Thomas. These interviews are Oral histories for our time…
Thank you
Geez….you can feel the passion when Dr Copeland reflects on her upbringing in Pentecost I remember those days … #LifeChanging
Thank you Mr. Thomas! The Reverend Dr. Claudette Copeland is one of my only favorite Pastors because she is the first woman Pastor I heard. I loved the way she brought the word, and she spoke with a soft boldness that touched my heart for I am a woman myself. I would buy her cassettes, yes cassette tapes, and listened to them over and over. I had never heard of a city called Nacogdoches. In one of her most powerful sermons, she said a phrase that I have used throughout my life, she said; " People have begun to believe their own propaganda!" She is a woman, daughter, and messenger of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to thank Dr. Copeland, if she ever reads this, know Dr. Copeland that I love you, and am so glad that you did become a physician of lost and hurt souls, and heal pain with the Balm of Gilead (which was one of your sermons)that no earthly physician of medicine could get to. Our souls, souls for Jesus, you have saved many and remember it was Mary who saw the empty tomb, and Mary who was one of the first witnesses of seeing our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Copeland is a Mary of our times. May God Bless her and her family always, and you as well Mr. Thomas!
POWERFUL!!!! #PreachingWomen
Dr. Copeland blessed me with this interview but what she said about her husband probably inspired me most. To have a woman of her caliber stand defensively and say my husband is why I am who I am says a lot about the caliber of man her husband is. I pray for the grace to have my wife say the same of me. Thanks for interjecting that into the conversation!
She was my chaplain when we were stationed at Lackland AFB. I've never forgotten her
Wow. I’m 25 and this has truly impacted me in such a deep way that I will never forget.
This is so profound! Reinforces my own calling and strengthened my outlook. Thank you Dr. Thomas
She is my Lover
So Elegant…
Absolutely phenomenal! Really fed my soul!
