We're a few weeks removed form the Superbowl, the NBA Allstar game and some heinous crimes that were committed during that time line. Have you heard of the shooting at the parade? What about the shooting at Joel Osteen's church? It is odd to see which evils get air time in our country today. We will air them all out in this episode. Plus - the NBA and its commentators virtue signal when a man competes against a woman in a 3-point shooting contest.

How would you define the 'Black Church'. Is there such a thing, biblically? The title has been used over and over throughout history and we are realizing just how divisive it is. The 'Black Church' is to be distinguished from Christians who are black. The black church is a politicized and secularized segment of black Americans who see Christian faith merely as a cultural aspect of their greater identity - blackness.  In this  church, Jesus is not Lord but a mascot of the culture and following after Him is not a priority. We look at the many diverging faith leaders today within the 'black church' and connect their apostacy with the natural trajectory of the historical black church. If Brandon could tell the story, the 'black church' is a synagogue of Satan.

In this episode we delve into the intricate relationship between music and cultural de-evolution within the black community. Is it time we stop using slavery as a reason for the gratuitous violence and grotesque promiscuity plaguing generations of black Americans? Are these aspects of hip hop culture worthy of the celebration we give it? We dive deep into song lyrics to trace the coinciding affect the most popular songs of any given decade had on our current state of "black culture".

#9eleven, #QAnon, #pizzagate, #JFK...all of these things have been classified as theory and filed away in the insane claims department. How do Christians interpret this reality? As the pillar and buttress of truth, does the Church join the populace and stick our heads in the sand? Should we hop on the latest conspiracy fad without asking any questions? The answer is no to both. We look into some dark realities about our world that should point you to the reality of a savior, rather than the nearest message board on reddit. The darkness has see a great light. It is time we have an accurate take on what that darkness actually is.

Happy New Year! We now know that Christmas is the birth of the Light of the world and the beginning of the death of darkness. In order for our reorientation toward Christmas to be complete, we need to have somewhat of a more accurate grasp on the darkness that will be extinguished. Our modernized thinking has lead of to believe that ancient darkness remained in antiquity and does not plague us today. You are sadly mistaken. Jesus said that we will have trouble in this world. As we go through a list of how dark the world truly is, we can take heart - Jesus has overcome the world!

Do you have hope this Christmas? Has the news stolen joy from you? We are enamored with murders, hatred, divisiveness, sexual immorality, children being targeted, education being diminished, and far more beneath the surface than we could type here! All of this comes on top of the morale-suffocating era of Covid that we are all still recovering from. And if you're dealing with your own trials on top of all of that...suffice it to say, it is hard to have hope this Christmas.
Hopefully, after listening to this episode, you will know that to be false!
Merry Christmas.
