Wewoka, OK — The congregation of St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church will gather in celebration and gratitude on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM to honor a decade of dedication, love, and spiritual leadership by Pastor G. Stacy Bert and First Lady Trina Bert. The 9th Pastor’s & Wife Appreciation Service promises to be a powerful and spirit-filled occasion, marking a milestone of service and faith.

This year’s theme, “Light The House Up,” draws from Luke 11:33:

“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.”

The chosen scripture is a reminder of the visible, vibrant, and valuable light that Pastor G. Stacy and Trina Bert have brought not only to their local church but to the broader community as well. Through their selfless service, consistent faith, and undeniable love for God’s people, they have truly lit the house up for all to see.

The special guest bringing the Word is Rev. R. Williams of Friendship Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, OK. Known for his passionate preaching and commitment to kingdom work, Rev. Williams is sure to deliver a timely and uplifting message for the occasion.

Here at The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Pastor G. Stacy & Trina Bert. Over the past few years, their prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support have meant so much to our team. Their ministry has been a light not just in Wewoka but throughout the state, and their impact continues to grow.

We honor and celebrate the remarkable legacy they are building. Nine years of service is no small feat — it is a testament to endurance, love, and divine purpose. May God continue to bless your union, your ministry, and your calling.

Congratulations Pastor & First Lady Bert from your friends at The Greenwood Beat – WFPG!

Keep lighting the way.

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 – April 19, 2025 — The Meet the Press Day Workshop held at OSU-Tulsa was a powerful and engaging event that brought together D9 Leadership for dynamic conversations around media, messaging, and mission. One of the highlights of the event was the impactful presence of Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, who served as a featured panelist.

During the workshop, Dr. Chambers delivered key insights on contacting and reaching the media, sharing from her wealth of experience in media and community storytelling. She passionately emphasized the importance of creating platforms within our own communities to tell our stories—encouraging attendees to position their organizations as media outlets in their own right.

“Even if mainstream media doesn’t pick up your story, you must still tell it,” Dr. Chambers stated, urging organizations to document their impact, craft their narrative, and become consistent content creators.

The session took an inspiring turn when an attendee asked Dr. Chambers about her journey as an author. She opened up about her family’s rich legacy—beginning with her great-grandfather, Neely Factory, one of Oklahoma’s first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals. She spoke proudly of her lineage of entrepreneurship, highlighting her late great uncle, Joe Phifer, who boldly opened a filling station in Oklahoma in the 1970s after returning from military service.

Dr. Chambers also shared the inspiration behind her latest release, Change Your Life in 21 Days of Good Habits—a self-guided resource and motivational tool for individuals seeking to realign and reset their lives with intention. “It’s more than a book,” she explained. “It’s a tool to help people reset—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.”
