Episode 69

My Guests:

Pastor John Coaxum

My Big Brother Ra’Mone Cummings

Greetings Guests!!! I am James Major Bridges, bridging the gap between love and hate.

Join me as I sit down with Pastor John Coaxum and my big Brother Ra’Mone Cummings to have a very important conversation about the comfort and discomfort of queerness in the black church. 10 years ago I wouldn’t be ready for this sit down, but growth has made me able. Pastor Coaxum was the perfect guest for me to have an open, loving conversation with about making progress in an area that has been ignored and and pushed in a corner ( or closet lol). Listen out for Ra’Mone and his perfect assists. My brother always finds a way to connect the dots. Especially when my mind wanders lol. In searching for understanding we are able to respect each other’s truths while expressing our differences. This conversation doesn’t fix the problem; rather it strives for resolution.

Episode 68: I’M BAAAAAAACK. After a year and a half break I am finally back with much to talk about and share. We have some catching up to do but today I welcome two talents from under the sea! I am current in a production of The Little Mermaid @ The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre in Lancaster Pennsylvania. And today I Ursala and Chef Louis played by Shannon Connolly and Frank Louis Hughes Jr. We dive into our past and journey through the theatre world and how we maintain a balance. How we try to maintain lol. PRESS PLAY
