    A Literary Journey: Reshaping Perspectives Through Timeless Books

    A Literary Journey: Reshaping Perspectives Through Timeless Books

    Ever wondered what books can reshape your perspective on race, work, or even your own identity? Our latest episode takes you on a literary expedition, where you'll journey through thought-provoking works from "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius to "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. We'll share how these classics hold profound relevance in our contemporary world and discuss how balancing our career motives with secular or religious worldviews can be a delicate act, guided by insights from Tim Keller's "Every Good Endeavor." It's not just a podcast; it's a roundtable of diverse recommendations and a deep dive into the power of the written word.

    Hold on to your bookmarks, because we're about to reveal our personal bookshelves - the good, the bad, and the enlightening. You'll get a taste of everything from "Destiny of the Republic" by Candace Millard to the managerial wisdom found within "It's Okay to Be the Boss." Hear about the books that struck a chord with us and the ones we decided to close early. We also tackle the challenging yet essential question: which reads are absolutely vital outside of Scripture? Our conversation delves through genres and centuries, exploring the enduring impact of literature on faith, personal growth, and the human condition.

    The Pornification of a Culture- PART 2

    The Pornification of a Culture- PART 2

    **PG-13 Rating**

    As our conversation unfolds, we expose the stark reality of how early exposure to pornography disrupts the perception of others and distorts the covenant of marriage. The pernicious nature of adult content and its blatant contradiction to God's design is laid bare, emphasizing the need for a renewal of our minds. And with the church at a crossroads, we probe whether its strategies are robust enough to address the evolving digital landscape marked by artificial intelligence—a landscape that threatens to redefine our very notions of reality.

    Closing the episode, we share our conviction on the power of mentorship within the church, particularly for young adults who must navigate a world drenched in inappropriate online content. Join us on this journey as we continue to explore our roles and responsibilities in confronting these timely challenges.

    A Faith-Based Perspective on the Pornography Phenomenon: The Porndemic PART 1

    ***This series is Rated PG-13***Of NOTE.
    This series confronts the shadows of pornography with the light of candid conversation, as we traverse the complex terrain of its impact on race, culture, and faith. 

    Throughout this discussion, we share not only facts and statistics but also our personal insights and biblical perspectives on the matter. We grapple with the uncomfortable truth of pornography's ubiquity and the rationalizations that often accompany its consumption. With unflinching honesty, we examine the sin of viewing pornography from a Christian standpoint, discussing its contradictions to God's love and the nature of human dignity. We also highlight the profound ways in which this sin, like many others, weaves itself into the fabric of society and questions the shifting perceptions and potential long-term effects on our culture.

    Join us as we explore these significant questions and reflect on how we can align our values amidst a changing world.

    Unsung Heroes and the Quest for Equality: Black History Remembers Part 2 Episode #81

    Unsung Heroes and the Quest for Equality: Black History Remembers Part 2 Episode #81

    Venture with us to the historic grounds of Fort Monroe during the Civil War, where three daring souls sought liberty, and General Butler made a pivotal choice that would ripple through the fabric of history. Through these narratives, we connect the courageous acts of individuals to the grand tapestry of emancipation and civil rights, reminding us that bravery in the face of adversity can indeed shape the course of history.

    Zooming back to the present, we scrutinize the  experiences of Ray Sprigle, a journalist who assumed a Black man's identity to cast light on the grim reality of segregation in the South. His articles not only revealed the tenacity of the Black community but also the systemic racial injustices that plagued America. Join us as we share resources and invite listener contributions.

Transitions episodes— great insights for genuine faith

On my last road trip, I listened thru the 3 episodes on “transitions” & enjoyed each brother’s experience, feelings & perspective.
Although these brothers are my younger kids age, I found myself relating to their experiences. Of course, my perspective is different because of age & many other reasons, but it reminded me of the several transitions my wife & I have gone through.
I so much appreciate their honesty & faith.
In fact, what they shared is some great insight into a genuine life of faith, something many people may not be able to relate to, as indicated by their shared experiences.
I highly recommend this podcast!

Thank you

I am a white woman learning just how much of a role I have played in racism. It is a super uncomfortable journey admitting the hard truth but I am willing to keep peeling the layers and learning so I can do better and be better. This is the first episode I’ve listened to but I will listen to all of them. Keep sharing your truth in grace and love.

Episode request

Would love to hear an episode on critical race theory! I hear so much about it, many prominent Christian names are very against it. People are trying to get it out of schools. Would be very interested to hear an intellectual and well/balanced discussion on the issue. Talking about the actual points and implications therefore in the light of the gospel!
