In this episode of the Black Executive Perspective podcast, hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed discuss the harrowing incident at Jesus Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, where a gunman attempted to shoot the pastor during a service. The timely intervention by church members prevented a tragedy, but the delayed police response raised questions about emergency services in the community. Pastor Glenn Germany joins the hosts to recount the incident, the bravery of the congregants, and the emotional aftermath. Despite limited resources, they discuss the church's efforts to support the community. The episode ends with a call to action for listeners to help the church and the importance of empathy, sharing, and stopping discrimination.
