B. Lifted Up!

REMOVING THE MASK

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23) With social media platforms that practically demand living your life out loud, folks are making decisions about who they want to be and how they want to be perceived by others. Living a life that your heart cannot agree with is just not healthy. Psychologist, educator and author, Dr. Michelle Boone Thornton, takes a hands-on approach to “helping people worldwide release the emotional baggage they’ve been masking for years by living life more abundantly, allowing them to fulfill their God-given purpose”.

WOMEN WHO CHANGED GOSPEL MUSIC

Gospel music has a rich history. In addition to our most celebrated gospel pioneers – i.e. Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson, and James Cleveland -- the golden age of gospel was also filled with pioneering women who made a difference on the road to abundance; who carved their own paths and planted roots for others to reap the harvest; change agents who left a legacy that often rivaled the music. Join this riveting conversation with Emmy Award winning news anchor (Spectrum/NY1) & Author of “Isn’t Her Grace Amazing!: The Women Who Changed Gospel Music”, Cheryl Wills, as she highlights women in the gospel industry who often go unnoticed and underappreciated for their talents – including writing, arranging, directing, developing singers; as well as those who have left an indelible mark on the industry.

FAITH, JUSTICE & SOCIAL CHANGE

With the mid-term elections approaching this November, the stakes are high. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives & 34 in the Senate are up for election. Most concerning are the new more restrictive laws, which will adversely affect the poor, disabled and people with language barriers. That’s not all. Gerrymandering -- the redistricting of voter maps -- allows legislators pick their voters, instead of the voters picking their legislators. So, what can we do? Join us and our special guest, Dr. Aimy Steele, Founder & Executive Director of the New North Carolina Project (NNCP) for this riveting discussion on curbing the injustice of voter suppression.
