Name of podcast: Black Girl Theology

Episode title and number: S3E1 | Roadblock Debates with Ashtyn Washington

INTRODUCTION

In this season, we are getting into the nitty gritty and talking about roadblock debates. What does that mean? I’m glad you asked. In this season we will be talking about the big debates in the Church that often divide denominations and congregations. These are also the hills that we often choose to die on when trying to evangelize to nonbelievers. But are these the hills that Christ has called us to die on? That’s what we’ll talk about in this season.

BLACK GIRL THEOLOGIAN

This week’s Black Girl Theologian is Jada Edwards. Fueled by a commitment to discipleship, Jada has dedicated her life to equipping women of all ages and stages of life with practical, biblical truths designed to help them live authentic and transparent lives. She is the wife of Dr. Conway Edwards, and the mommy of Joah and Chloe.

Jada says, “I love God and I love his word. Studying and teaching the Bible is one of my greatest joys. It is truly the greatest story ever written.”

Episode title and number: S2E6 | Transitions Reflections with Ashtyn Washington

INTRODUCTION:

In this season of the Black Girl Theology podcast, we talked all about transitions and how hard, heartbreaking, and healing they can be.

In today’s episode, I wanted to lean into what Mo Brooks touched on at the end of episode five. At the end of that episode, I asked him what advice he had for someone who was struggling to receive God’s love or was feeling unworthy of it. He encouraged us to do three things:

1. Be with Jesus

2. Become like Jesus

3. Do what Jesus did

Episode title and number: Ep. 6 | Let's Talk About Spiritual Disciplines

Welcome back to another episode of the Black Girl Theology podcast. In this season, we have been talking about the basic fundamental principles of Christianity and theology. In the next season, we are going to talk about what it’s like going through seasons of transition, and how hard, heartbreaking, and healing that can be. I’ll be bringing on a few of my favorite Black girls to discuss how transition has been showing up in their lives as well.

But, in today’s episode we are going to be talking about spiritual disciplines. Up until this point, we have discussed the Bible and how it came to be. In the last episode, we talked about salvation and the process of sanctification and justification. And in that episode, we described sanctification as the process by which Christians are set apart for God from the rest of the world, or the process by which Christians are made holy (this is otherwise known as spiritual maturity and it happens over the lifetime of a Christian).

The only way for us to grow in maturity over our lifetime is to continue in our spiritual disciplines. So we’re going to dive into what those are today.

//EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Date: April 26, 2023

Name of podcast: Black Girl Theology

Episode title and number: Ep. 5 | Let's Talk About Salvation

If you’ve ever asked yourself something along the lines of, “How do I know that I’m really saved?” or “If I was really saved, why can’t I stop committing this one sin?”, this episode is for you.

Black Girl Theologian of the Week

This week’s BGT is Yana Jenay. Through teaching, writing, and disciplemaking, Yana desires to curate content that will help others think well and exchange a secular worldview for a biblical one. She has done this through a blog series called The Miseducation of Music, providing theological training and consultation on race and unity to churches and organizations, and walking alongside women through anxiety, depression, and harmful patterns of sin.

You can also find her writings on platforms, such as Gospel-Centered Discipleship and The Jude 3 Project. She also wrote The Jude 3 Project’s black apologetic’s curriculum, Through the Eyes of Color.

Yana is also the host of a podcast that I really enjoy, “Living Single with Yana Jenay”. This podcast is all about singleness. Not dating or how to prepare yourself for marriage but how to LIVE single. Though the culture (church culture included) has convinced us that marriage and romantic love is the pinnacle of life, in this podcast, Yana Jenay shares how her faith in Christ has caused her to embrace a new narrative. Her hope is to move the conversation about singleness past contentment to celebration and create a movement of #notthirsty singles.
