Seven years ago today, I married the most incredible woman I know—Dr. Malaika Graves. She's not just my wife, but my partner, my best friend, and a true blessing from God. Malaika, your presence in my life brings me immense joy and happiness every single day. Here's to many more years of laughter, love, and unforgettable adventures together. Happy anniversary, Sweetheart! ❤️

On this Father's Day, I fondly remember my dad, who passed away in 2020 to be with the Lord. I love this photo from my wedding to Dr. Malaika Graves in 2017—it captures his happiness so well. I miss him dearly and cherish the wisdom he shared about life and ministry. Today, I honor his memory with gratitude.

Today is my late father-in-law's birthday. Pastor Aaron Howard was a true gentleman and scholar. He was not only a mentor and friend but also someone who supported my ministry and welcomed me into his family. A talented artist and a Renaissance man, he embodied wisdom, kindness, creativity, and class. On this Pentecost Sunday, I honor his memory and celebrate his remarkable life. Happy birthday in heaven, man of God! I am keeping my promise to love and honor your daughter, Dr. Malaika Graves. Your legacy continues to inspire us every day.

Happy Pentecost Sunday, a day when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Christian Church.

Happy Mother’s Day (2024) Dr. Wilfred Graves compares the leadership style of Jesus with that of a good mother.

Reflecting on this Mother's Day, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for every precious moment spent with my dear mother, Glendolyn K. Graves (July 26, 1949 - September 19, 2013). Though she may no longer be with us, her love and warmth continue to live on in my heart. Today, I honor her memory and the profound impact she had on my life. Rest in peace, Mom. You are deeply missed. 🌹

As Mother's Day approaches, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable woman who profoundly shaped my life with her love, wisdom, and grace. My beloved mother, Glendolyn Kathleen Graves, an evangelist, and beacon of faith, continues to inspire not only me but all who were blessed to know her.

In a heartfelt tribute on my website, I share cherished memories of my mother's unwavering devotion, her profound impact on my spiritual journey, and the enduring lessons she taught me about love, resilience, and the power of faith. 💖
