What's Dr. Sermon's purpose?
Dr. Sermon's purpose is to edify, exhort, and empower others to be the best version of themselves in Christ. This is her passion because she enjoy helping others feel better about themselves after meeting her. It is in Christ where she's found her majestic identity. Now, she will be the first to say that her ministry is not for everybody and she's okay with that. Dr. Sermon's ministries is centered on giving life to the emotionally and spiritually wearied. She know first hand what it is like to grow up with family-inflicted self-esteem issues and to live in lack as a child. She know what it feels like to desire to belong somewhere where you don't fit it in. She know what it is like to be without a roof over her head, sleeping on the street in the cold. She know what it is like to cry out for help and consolation when her loved ones wouldn't listen. She know what it's like not to love yourself because it seems as if no one else does. So her purpose is embedded with helping others correct the negative misconceptions that they have adopted about themselves over the years to that they can enjoy a much happier, healthier, and fulfilling life in Christ.


Kappa Epsilon Lambda Royal Christian Sorority, Inc.

Dr. Sermon's organization, Kappa Epsilon Lambda Royal Christian Sorority, Incorporated is designed for women that likes to empower other women or needs to be empowered based on God's Word. The aim in this sorority is to unanimously create an environment of love and acceptance among the Sorors that can't be found in the world so that Christ's love can be seen in them. This sorority is a ministry available to women that are not currently in another Christian sorority or Pan-Hellenic sorority and understand that our principles are Christ-based. Their theme is royalty as they are lovely, sophisticated, and majestic because of their power through Christ our King! Their structure is not completely fashioned after traditional sororities. For example, they don't have probates or lengthy processes for Christian women to become members. They simply ask that  potential members answer all questions honestly before submitting a request for membership. This method of completing membership also eliminates any possibility of hazing within this organization.

Dr. Sermon has a show entitled, "Royal Empowerment", on the Kingdom Purpose TV network on Saturdays at 1:30pm EST. Her broadcasts contain a royal theme as a reminder that you are royalty in Christ! Her broadcasts are one of the many ways, alongside her sorority ministry, that she ministers to others. Dr. Sermon's overall goal in her broadcasts and ministry is to discuss the things that we encounter in life that we don't always hear about in church. However, she refers to God's Word to help innovate reasonable strategies that we can apply to life to encourage victorious living in Christ.
