Our focus for this episode is the strength that there is in diversity and having healing conversations in a racially diverse congregation with Author, radio show host, singer, songwriter and producer, Mrs. Karla Nivens. Ms. Nivens encourages us to intentionally get to know our neighbors, especially those who are from a different racial/ethnic/socio-economic group than us and have difficult, but very important conversations that will facilitate empathy and concern for one another.

Matthew 5:16 tells us to let our lights so shine before humans that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Notice that the light does not shine on us, rather it emanates from us. Today’s episode is an interview with Min. Robin Shine-Maddox, Founder and President of Celebrating Sisterhood, Inc. She encourages us to come out of our comfort zones and shine with the light of Jesus from the pulpit to the pew to the public square and reminds us that we are not alone. She also challenges us to put our feet to our faith!

The people of God cannot underestimate the power of presence, prayer and reconciliation. When we commune with the Holy Spirit daily, we desire to be whole with members of our communities, even those who have hurt us, so that our communities can be healed. When our communities are healed, there’s less anger, less crime, less incarceration, and more empathy, understanding and love.

Today’s episode is an interview with the Rev. Dr. Donna Jones, pastor of Cookman Beloved Community Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA. and Executive Director of the Metropolitan Christian Council of Philadelphia. Dr. Jones discusses the need for communities, especially in times like these, to come together and seek God together, showing God’s presence in the community through God’s people to bring healing. She educates us about the origins of the concept of Restorative Justice and Restorative Cities and tells us how we can all get involved.

This season we will focus on Living the Word through Social Action and Social Justice. Rather than answering the question, who will pick up the social justice mantle, we are answering the question, “what part of the mantle will I pick up?!” Today’s episode is an interview with the Rev. Dr. Mark Kelly Tyler, pastor of the historic Mother Bethel AME Church in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Tyler provides us with some history lessons that will help us to better understand the underpinnings of the events of the day. He asks us to ponder a very poignant question, “Will we stay and fight or will we only come back to pick up the spoils when the battle is over?” He challenges us to make the decision to get in the fight!

This season we will focus on Living the Word through Social Action and Social Justice. Rather than answering the question, who will pick up the social justice mantle, we are answering the question, “what part of the mantle will I pick up?!” I've got 5 exciting guests who are members of the clergy who engage in social justice. We discuss why and how members of the Christian faith community should, in the words of the late great Congressman John Lewis, "Get in good trouble. Necessary trouble." I want YOU to get in good trouble with me!

This is the culminating episode of season 1. Many of us do not live the Word because we don't believe that we can. The purpose of this episode is to show the listener that you CAN live the Word, if you only believe!
