Our Calling

Lisa Kelly Sherrer, MD

Dr. Ricky Sherrer

 Have you ever tried to improve your intimate relationship with God but found it difficult and challenging? Do you find it hard turning scripture into wisdom and making it relevant in your life? If so, this web site is for you. 


We are a husband and wife team who believe in equipping saints to navigate the challenges of everyday life, based on simple and practical biblical principles. We also believe in equipping saints in using their everyday life to take their faith beyond the walls of their church and into the world, from witnessing for Christ, engaging in spiritual warfare, or dealing with adversities.

The fabric that once held our communities together is fraying. It can

be rewoven.


For generations, the Black Church was more than a place of worship. It

was the warp thread of the entire community. It was the bank when banks

turned us away, the school when schools shut us out, the network of

trust through which a people survived and advanced. But that fabric is

fraying. Declining social capital, eroded institutional trust,

widening disparities, and a growing disconnection between generations

have left the very threads of community life pulled loose.


Restoring the Fabric of Faith and Fellowship is a blueprint for mending

what has torn.


Inside, church leaders, ministry teams, and lay members will discover:

- A clear-eyed diagnosis of the social capital crisis and its specific

  impact on the Black Church and community

- The historical thread, how our ancestors built resilient institutions,

  and how to recover that legacy before it is erased

- A framework for rebuilding trust between the church and the community

  it is called to serve

- Why justice became contested among believers, and the miseducation of the Black Christian

- How to move from being courted at election time to securing real commitments, with

  model questions to ask candidates for public office

- Reflection questions and concrete action steps at the end of every

  chapter—from intergenerational mentorship to community-controlled

  development


Written for every African American congregation, this book equips

pastors, elders, and members with both the wisdom of the past and the

strategies of the present to become what Scripture calls Repairers of

the Breach and Restorers of the Streets to Dwell In.

What's Your Story? We All Have One

What's Your Story? We All Have One

 The Apostle Paul said that he was not in the path of totality of an eclipse. But at high noon when the sun was brightest, suddenly, without warning, he saw something brighter that knocked him to his knees. Kind of weird, isn't it? Ezekiel said he saw a wheel in the middle of a wheel: Double weird.

Another saint said an angel of the Lord spoke to him in the middle of the night.

To be honest, I wouldn't want anyone tapping me on the shoulder at 2:00 in the morning, unless it was my wife.

Your Story Matters

While most of our stories may not be as dramatic as Paul's or Ezekiel's, it's important to remember that every believer has a unique and valuable story of God's work in their life.

Don't feel discouraged or inadequate if your testimony seems less miraculous. God works in each of our lives in different ways, and every story of His faithfulness and transformative power is significant.

Your story matters – and sharing it can be a powerful way to equip and encourage others on their journey of faith.

From Memories to Memoir

Perhaps you're inspired to tell your own story but unsure how to begin. That's where we come in.

At Just a Voice Ministries, we specialize in helping you:

· Capture your meaningful life experiences

· Craft them into a compelling narrative

· Design and publish your personal mini-memoir

Let us guide you through transforming your memories into a lasting legacy of faith that can impact generations to come.
