  • Cycle of Idols
    In the western culture of Christianity when we think about idols. What comes to mind most of the time it's wood, clay, stone, or even a budda doll the list can go on. Instead of focusing on the idols, let us focus on the idols of our hearts. Who better to talk to about that than Jason “Smiley” Abrams.
    Jason "Smiley" Abrams has been actively involved in ministry since 2002 initially discipled by his late father, Andy Abrams. God changed his name to Smiley.  As a child, Jason was very self-righteous and judgmental. Although he grew up in the church, he really did not know Jesus. However, it was God's grace that allowed him to witness the suffering of his father who was diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, failed kidneys, and blindness. As Jason watched his father endure pain daily, he saw him choose unconditional peace from intimacy with Jesus. During that time, Jason decided to pursue this Jesus who could give away true peace! As Jason encounters the one true God, he found internal joy that he began expressing outwardly by wearing all yellow attire and smiley faces every day from middle school until the end of college. Eventually, everyone began calling him Smiley.
    ​
    "God calls me Smiley, so you can too."
    ​
    Smiley currently serves as an Associate Area Director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship primarily focused in the Jackson, MS metro area on 4 campuses (JSU, MC, Millsaps, & Belhaven) as well as the National Evangelism Champion for Black Campus Ministries. He also serves on the pastoral team at Common Ground Church and is licensed with the Covenant Evangelical Church. He is a dynamic public speaker, has planned and implemented multiple conferences across the nation, inductive bible study trainer, and has been preaching since 2004.
    ​
    Smiley has received a Bachelor's of Arts in Speech Communication with minors in Graphic Design and French from the University of Southern Mississippi. He also obtained a Certification in Nonprofit Management, and a Certification in Theological Studies. Smiley completed a Master's of Arts in Theological Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary.  
    He has written over 300 spoken word poems and released his first spoken word album - 3:13 AM (now available on iTunes). Smiley has served on the Performing Acts Team for IV's national student conference Urbana - performing on stage for over 16,000 people. He is a graphic designer, voice actor, visual artist, and music producer. He has been a voice actor for multiple web tv-series and served as the Special Effects Supervisor for his brother's animated/puppetry feature film - Josh's Journal. 
    Smiley probably loves Star Trek (TNG and Voyager) just as much as he loves Star Wars. He loves DC tv shows as much as he loves Marvel movies. He often tinkers with hardware in his free time. He is a lifetime learner. His favorite color is yellow.

  • Abusive Grace
    When you think about grace what comes to mind? Why do we need grace anyway? Don’t my works matter much more? Or you hear some say the GOD of the Bible is unjust because he gives grace rather than punishment so he can’t be a GOD of justice because he’s unfair. If you have any questions concerning these topics my friends you are in for a huge treat this episode.
    Gusto sits down with Gavin Hughes to talk trough these topics. Gavin Hughes, he is a native of Jackson, Ms where he is a minister of music at Abundant grace M.B. Church under Pastor Danny Jackson. Gavin is a senior Vocal Music Education major at Jackson State University where he serves as the head drum major of the Sonic Boom of the South, President of the vocal jazz ensemble, as well as several other leadership roles throughout the music department. Gavin has achieved many other accomplishments but today the most important thing he wants you to know is that his life is only a result of God’s strength being made perfect in his weakness.

  • Can I be Black and Christian
    With Black History Month coming to a close. It’s seems that if you are a black Christian you are an oxymoron that there is no way you can be both because that’s a white mans religion so therefore you are against your own people is this true? These are serious questions for example the Bible was used to kidnap, murder and destroy a entire people group how can I read something like that. With that being said on this episode we sit down with Jamal Morris to discuss these serious issues.
    Jamal Morris is a product of Chattanooga, Tenn., born to the late George Morris and Linda Avila. After a decorated athletic career at Cleveland High School, Morris went on to attend Lee University and graduate with a degree in Youth Ministry.
     
    Jamal Morris started Urban Initiative after sevral years of student ministry in urban Chattanooga. He has also served college students at the University of Chattanooga with a nationally known organization called, “Intervarsity Christian Fellowship” and done various consulting work for over a decade.
     
    The only thing greater than his passion for ministry is his commitment to his family. When he’s not sharing with the next generation of Chattanooga’s leaders, he’s spending time with his wife April and his twin daughters, Kristine and Kayla.
