Powerful and Emotional Response

Tulsa, OK – May 2, 2025 — The Greenwood Beat – WFPG made history once again with the highly anticipated premiere of “Talkin Wit Trus,” hosted by none other than Treston Irby of the iconic R&B group Hi-Five. Originally scheduled for Thursday, the premiere aired Friday, May 2, at 7 PM CST — and the audience showed up in a big way.

Listeners from all over tuned in by the hundreds, flooding the digital airwaves with support, gratitude, and heartfelt reactions. The energy was electric, but what truly captivated the audience was Irby’s realness. He spoke from the heart, unfiltered and unapologetic, touching on topics many avoid but desperately need to be addressed in the Black community.

From reflections on fame, life after the spotlight, and the untold story of Hi-Five, to deep discussions about men’s mental health, generational trauma, and community healing — the show struck a chord.

“He didn’t hold back.”

“Finally, someone is saying what needs to be said.”

“I didn’t know THAT about Hi-Five. This story matters.”

These are just a few of the comments that poured in during and after the show.

Due to the depth and necessity of these courageous conversations, The Greenwood Beat – WFPG officially moved the show to its permanent time slot:

Fridays at 9:00 PM CST

Treston Irby has stepped into more than just a hosting role — he’s accepted the challenge of using his platform to spark dialogue on subjects often silenced in Black families and communities. As he said during the premiere, “It serves no purpose for us to keep talking at each other. We have to start talking with each other — honestly.”

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is proud and excited to welcome Treston Irby to the family. His presence represents the mission of the station: to uplift, educate, and empower through authentic conversations that reflect the truth of Black culture, history, and healing.

Tune in every Friday at 9 PM CST at www.thegreenwoodbeat.com to catch “Talkin Wit Trus” — a show you’ll feel in your spirit.

Tulsa, OK – The spirit of unity, healing, and intercession is moving through Tulsa, Oklahoma as the “I Can Pray” Conference, hosted by GAP Standards International, continues to bring people together in powerful worship, teaching, and prayer. Held at the Southern Hills Tulsa Marriott, this multi-day conference has drawn intercessors, ministers, and faith leaders from across the region—and it’s just getting started.

As part of the community engagement surrounding the conference, Pastors Tomm and Brenda Todd, founders of GAP Standards International, were featured guests on “On the Spot”, a dynamic segment on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, this segment hosted by Starr Fisher, Co-Owner and Chief Operating Officer of the station. During the heartfelt interview, Pastor Brenda Todd accepted hosting: an hour-long prayer broadcast on TGB, bringing a dedicated space for spiritual renewal and intercession to the airwaves of Black Wall Street.

Joining the special segment was bestselling author Raittia Rogers, a powerful voice of faith and inspiration who has dedicated her life to empowering youth and sharing the message of God’s love and deliverance. Her testimony left listeners moved and uplifted.

Tonight’s conference lineup continues with Pastor Michael Todd, a nationally recognized leader and speaker, who is expected to bring a timely and transformative message to attendees.

The conference also features the “Prayer Party” campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Pastor Tomm Todd, calling all intercessors—regardless of race, denomination, gender, or political affiliation—to unite in the power of prayer.
