January 21, 2026 Abortion and the Black Community
“Why don’t you care about the abortion that’s happening in your own community?”
“You talk about lynching and slavery but abortion takes more black lives every day”
(sigh) If you’ve ever heard (or said) statements like these, this episode is for you. Jemar and Tyler are back to tackle the elephant in the room. Tune in for a candid conversation on the history of abortion views in the American church, the problems with the church’s approach to the conversation, and what a prophetic imagination ultimately looks like. This is not for the faint of heart (Y’all know how we do at Pass the Mic), but we hope it challenges you to move beyond the caricatures you’ve heard to a more consistent public witness.
