Taryell Simmons: Welcome to another episode of Rise Urban Nation. I am your host, Taryell Simmons. Today we have the honor of speaking with Bishop Jack Bomar, a respected spiritual leader and community influencer. Bishop Jack, thank you for joining us today.
Jack Bomar: I am fantastic, Taryell, blessings to you and thank you so much for having me on. It is pronounced Bomar, like Omar, but just call me Bishop Jack.
Taryell Simmons: Thank you for your grace and forgiveness. For everybody experiencing the video, this man stays fly. I love the gear and the styling.
Jack Bomar: Thank you. I appreciate that coming from you.
Taryell Simmons: Let us start with your journey. Could you share how you began and what led you to your current path?
Jack Bomar: I grew up in Camden, Tennessee, a small rural town. Very early on, I was active in church and became the church piano player and musician at the age of nine. Being in a spiritual community fed me deeply, and I looked forward to Sundays. My progression started naturally through playing music, Sunday school, and traveling with the choir across the region. Eventually, I began speaking. In college, I saw Les Brown speak and wanted to become a motivational speaker. However, I was extremely shy. Playing piano was comfortable because my back was to the audience, but standing before a crowd was intimidating. My fraternity asked me to represent our local chapter in an oratorical contest. I participated and won. I realized that when we align with purpose and destiny, we tap into a vibration and energy where a greater power works in us, through us, and as us.
Taryell Simmons: You went on stage and channeled that motivation.
Jack Bomar: I learned to listen to inner guidance, the still small voice. That guidance directed me to move to Atlanta, enroll in ministerial school, and attend seminary. Following that guidance leads to green pastures and still waters. Today, I oversee two extraordinary legacies: Reverend Ike and Bishop Barbara King of Hillside in Atlanta. The Ike family and Dr. Barbara King entrusted me with their legacies. We created a network and expanded our ministry internationally, opening in Australia and Hawaii, with upcoming expansion in Ghana.
Taryell Simmons: Many traditional religious backgrounds viewed wealth with suspicion. How have the teachings of the late Reverend Ike shaped your understanding of spirituality and material wealth?
Jack Bomar: Reverend Ike is one of my greatest teachers. I grew up listening to him on the radio teaching that you can have what you want, do what you want, and be who you want through the power of God in you. Higher consciousness teachings shaped who I am. Today, more people identify as spiritual rather than religious. Spirituality is a deeper connection with the highest self—known as God, Allah, Olodumare, Spirit, or Cosmic Consciousness—and recognizing our oneness with it. That is the ultimate prosperity consciousness. The universe is lavish and abundant. Traditional religious indoctrination taught people to wait until the afterlife for their reward, but prosperity is consciousness, vibration, and frequency. Money is psychic vibration. When you embody that frequency, you become a magnet for abundance because the highest consciousness is realizing: I am prosperity.
Taryell Simmons: How does one shift their mindset to truly develop prosperity consciousness?
Jack Bomar: We can examine Psalm 23 through a metaphysical lens: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. The Lord represents the Law and universal Source that provides everything. The greatest illusion is separation, believing we are separate from our Source. We are made in the divine image. Furthermore, scripture states that the love of money is the root of evil, not money itself. As Reverend Ike noted, the lack of money causes devastation, crime, and suffering. In scripture, the camel passing through the eye of the needle required removing external burdens and lowering itself. Similarly, we must align and renew our own minds to access abundance.
Taryell Simmons: How critical is faith in manifesting success and abundance?
Jack Bomar: Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. It is the power to perceive the invisible and bring it into physical reality. As Napoleon Hill stated, whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. However, faith without works is dead. You must move your feet. When the divine mind gives you a prosperous idea, you must act. If you do not act on a million-dollar idea, it will leave you and go to someone ready to say yes.
Taryell Simmons: How do positive thinking and affirmations transform lives?
Jack Bomar: When we change our thinking, we change our life. We have three phases of mind: the superconscious mind, the conscious mind which acts as the gatekeeper, and the subconscious mind which learns through repetition. A colleague was practicing prosperity affirmations when her bank account showed a negative balance. She printed the statement, blotted out the negative amount, wrote her desired balance, and held that vision until her account matched it. We must condition the mind with vision boards, affirmations, and denials, canceling any negative thought that arises.
Taryell Simmons: Seeing successful leaders who look like us inspires people to strive higher. How does that influence your work?
Jack Bomar: Seeing successful people showed me what was possible. In our ministries, we do not take loans. I believe God can provide in cash just as easily as through a thirty-year mortgage. We are called to be the lenders and not the borrowers, the head and not the tail. Cultivating that standard requires conditioning both the mind and heart.
Jack Bomar: I recommend Reverend Ike's book, Health, Joy, and Prosperity for You, which offers fifty-two weekly lessons. Reverend Ike taught healing, oneness, and mind liberation. People came to him with four primary concerns: financial situations, health and healing, relationships, and a deeper connection with God. Bishop Barbara King also provided profound wisdom in Transform Your Life. It is also crucial to change your circle, because you attract the energy of the people you surround yourself with.
Taryell Simmons: Tell us about your community work with Blessing Hands USA and The Blessing Shoe.
Jack Bomar: I started Blessing Hands USA as a humanitarian organization providing disaster relief and meals in Puerto Rico, St. Croix, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, and Ghana. We also created The Blessing Shoe, an Italian-made luxury shoe consecrated with Philippians 4:19. In our teachings, feet represent understanding, and the shoe represents covering that understanding. For every pair purchased, we partner with SafeHouse in Atlanta to donate shoes and socks to individuals experiencing homelessness. We also produce natural skincare products through The Bishop line for men and Deal Your Beauty for women to fund our global mission.
Jack Bomar: The elevated sole on the shoe symbolizes elevated consciousness. When you seek the kingdom first, everything else follows. In Psalm 23, David noted that his cup ran over. We are called to give from our overflow rather than an empty cup. To live abundantly, implement two daily practices: meditate on Psalm 23 and pray the Lord's Prayer seven times daily to align your energy centers and impress the subconscious mind. Cancel every negative thought by affirming: I am the rich child of a loving God. Spend five quiet minutes each morning connecting with the divine presence.
Taryell Simmons: Thank you, Bishop Jack, for your profound insights. Listeners, remember to subscribe to Rise Urban Nation, stay inspired, and join us next time.
Jack Bomar: Thank you so much, Taryell.
