Welcome to the Real Bible Rob podcast. I am delighted to welcome Charmella today. She speaks on TikTok about American history, religion, race, and politics in such an insightful way. What really caught my attention was her realism about our moment coupled with a sense of optimism. With all the terrifying changes we are going through, how can we see any of this change as good? With old and young alike pining for days that never were, can we grasp what's really happening. It's reckoning. Charmella said something that blew my mind, "The only way out is through." The reckoning is uncomfortable, but it's necessary. We have been avoiding for too long and we need to change. I've quoted Charmella in several sermons and a few podcasts. So I really wanted to speak with her here.
