On this episode of Gospel for the Culture, you’ll meet Chapter 3: The Preacher’s Kid, a personal essay of growing up in the very different worlds of my Baptist preacher Dad, my Pentecostal Mommy, and building my experience of God in between. It is a deeply vulnerable narrative about my master wound and all of its contradictions. But most importantly, it is a celebration of all that conspired to bring me to the point of my public work with Unfit Christian and leading others to an experience of God that sees (and loves) the whole of them fearlessly. It is my manifesto that there is room at the cross for all of us, no matter how radically different our approach to God may be.

As someone deeply aware of the history of racism, classism, death, and oppression tied to Christianity, why do I still identify as a Christian, especially as a conscious Black woman? Can deconstruction and decolonization redeem such a faith? These questions are at the heart of my book, The Day God Saw Me as Black.
In this episode of Gospel for the Culture, I introduce you to Chapter 2: White Man’s Religion. This central essay addresses the burning question often linked to my work: why remain committed to a faith so steeped in supremacist harm? I share my journey through compulsory Black Christianity, reconciling my gender, race, and sexuality with my faith, and how shifting my personal dogma led to liberation. Join me as I explore faith as an act of resistance against white supremacy.

After a four-year hiatus, I’m back and ready to tell it all! In October 2020, I paused Gospel for the Culture because producing the show on my own became too much. Life took unexpected turns; I quit my corporate job, decided to live between states, and embarked on a journey big faith leaps. By 2022, my long-awaited book, The Day God Saw Me as Black, found a publisher, and after months of writing, it’s set to release on September 24, 2024.
This season, I’ll take you through each chapter of my book, exploring its themes and inspirations. We begin with Chapter 6, “Will There Be One?”—an in-depth look at the future of the Black Church and its struggle with systemic oppression. Join me as I read selections, share insights, and connect the text to the broader socio-political landscape. Let’s dive into this journey together and explore the transformative power of truth and liberation.

In this episode of Gospel #ForTheCulture, Danyelle (@UnfitChristian) dives into going viral (again) over this week's Hot Takes of Ayesha Curry's Red Table Talk interview with her family-in-loves of the Curry Dynasty. As always, Danyelle manages to find the divinity in Black cultural conversations and grounds this week's discussion in John 5:1-8, the healing of the man at the pool of Jerusalem.
