What an incredible experience! 🙏🏽✨ Looking back at last year’s THE EXPERIENCE, my heart is filled with gratitude. It was truly a beautiful night filled with worship, music, love, joy, and unforgettable moments. A special thank you to everyone who came out and supported, especially those of you who have been there for every single event — your constant love and support mean more than you know.

I also want to thank every musician, BGV/background vocalist, worshipper, media team, photographer, videographer, sound team, and every single person who played a part in making the night what it was. To the media and everyone behind the scenes, thank you for helping capture and bring the experience to life. This event truly takes a village, and I’m grateful for every one of you. 🙏🏽

And now… stay tuned. THE EXPERIENCE is coming back! The next announcement is coming soon. Until then, enjoy these memories and get ready for what’s next!

Ministry isn’t easy, but pleasing God is always worth it 🙏🏽 Without Him there’s no me. He came, He set us free, and now we’re delivered ✝️ God has held me through every high and low.
This year has been life changing but incredible 🤍 Thankful for everyone who believed and stood with me. If you’re in pain, it won’t last forever — stay strong, stay prayed up, and keep going 💪🏽🙏🏽 Ask God for strength, growth, and courage, and surround yourself with peaceful, God-fearing people 🌱
2026, be good to me. Be good to everyone ✨ This is only the beginning! I know my Mom is Proud! RIP Mom 🕊️ this is my TESTIMONY!!

Taking a moment before diving into November to acknowledge how good October was. It came with its pressure and stress, but even more growth and gratitude. Thankful for every blessing along the way.

1. Nick and I going to a Yankee playoff game!
2. Raising Ronaldo
3. No matter what you do, always do your best. It felt amazing to be recognized by global leaders for my contribution to an amazing quarter at work.
4. Community is the medicine we need to get through the hard times. Grateful for it.
5. My why.
6. My kids don’t care about the great cool things I do outside, they want to know that I’m going to keep my word and take em to Dave & Busters.
7. It’s a privilege & an honor to manage and support amazing artist through @uncommon_mgmt . Excited for you to hear these records we recorded!
8. Got to surprise my dad for his birthday. Thought he was only picking my mom up, but she had extra luggage.
9. Thankful that I made time to see my dad celebrate another year.
10. The family minus my tribe.
11. IYKYK (grateful for this house)
12. How I aim to live and lead my life in all that I do.
13. Thankful to be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.

It’s so easy to go onto to the next thing, but I am being intentional about capturing all that’s happening around me and expressing gratitude for what God is doing. It’s not mine, it’s all God’s, I just want to make sure I am stewarding correctly.

Feeling extra grateful for community that feels like a safe space — not just for me, but for my kiddos too. 🍎🍂 And of course, for the simple joys of apple picking in the fall. 🥰

Sometimes the perfect vacation isn’t about how far you go, it’s about how well you plan it 📝 🌴😎

On my recent trip to San Diego with some of my favorite people, I realized there are a few things that make any getaway feel unforgettable:

1️⃣ Bring your favorite folk. Travel with people you can be your most authentic self with - nobody has time to put on while you’re out and about. Being able to be completely yourself makes the vacation soooo much better!
 2️⃣ Good food is a must. Do your homework before you go, find both upscale gems and those local mom-and-pop restaurants with incredible reviews (and food that matches what you actually like to eat)
 3️⃣ Prioritize good views. Whether it’s beaches, mountains, lush greenery, or stunning architecture, beautiful scenery just makes everything more peaceful.
 4️⃣ Bonus tip for parents: Visit a spot usually for the kids… without them! We went to the San Diego Zoo (grown and kid-free 😂) and had the best time.

And remember - vacations aren’t just for summer!
Celebrate a birthday, plan around a long weekend, or simply give yourself permission to break up the monotony of everyday life. You deserve that trip!

With all of that said - what’s your next dream destination?

Whew! August might’ve been the busiest month I’ve had in a loooong time, but it was packed with memories I’ll hold onto forever 🥰

From traveling to sweet, sweet T&T 🇹🇹, to soaking up the beauty of San Diego 🌴, and eating my way through the coastal views (and seafood 🤤) in Virginia Beach - this month was a whole vibe 😎

I made it a priority to invest my time, energy, money, and intention into the relationships that mean the most to me. 💕

The Charles Family Summer Bucket List? We checked off so many things! 😆 And listen… with two young boys, there were definitely a few bickers and meltdowns in the mix but that’s real life, and honestly, those moments are part of the story too 🫶🏾

Summer 2025 has already been soooo kind to us, and while I’m still soaking it all in, I’m also looking forward to September’s slower pace and steady rhythm 🍂

What’s been YOUR favorite summer memory so far?

Here’s a glimpse of Come Home in North Carolina 😮‍💨🙌🏾….
A massive thank you to our lead photographer @ehasselmayerphoto for capturing Come Home 2025 with such excellence, beauty, and reverence. Every photo wasn’t just a moment, it was a move of God frozen in time.

Erika, you didn’t just document the weekend, you revealed the heart of God through your lens. Your eye for presence, emotion, and worship was prophetic. We’re so grateful for the love, intentionality, and anointing you carried behind the camera.

If you’re not already following her… please do. She’s truly one of one.
📸 @ehasselmayerphoto @erikahasselmayer — follow and be blessed #Comehome2025
