I've always been interested in gaining understanding of other people's experiences and points of view. Today I've brought in Sterling Contreras to school us on apologetics in the context of the Hispanic community. I had a hunch that there would be parallels between how people of African descent and Hispanic descent have developed negative sentiments toward Christianity on the basis of colonialism. We also delve into politics and basic steps we can take to understand and engage the Hispanic community on these issues. Enjoy the show.

Y'all still talkin' about the Ressurection?! Absolutely! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not something we just pull out once a year, get dressed up for a special "Easter" service, then put it back on the shelf. The resurrection is at the very heart of Christianity. 

In this episode, Apologist Cameron Bertuzzi walks us through the Bayesian Argument for the resurrection which is an approach to presenting the historical evidence for the Christian claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead!

Christianity is NOT a dumb mans religion!!!

                      Capturing Christianity

In this episode Adam Coleman chops it up with BEC Media's Elgin "Big El" Bailey. A very thoughtful and provocative discussion on race, community, Kendrick Lamar, and even child rearing. This brother certainly has some important things to say!

A three way discussion featuring Vocab Malone, Pastor Tony Ares, and Scott Lane in which we will tackle:

-Kendrick Lamar referring to himself as an Israelite on his most recent album entitled "DAMN"

-Hebrew Israelite themes in Kendrick's music

-Responses to Hebrew Israelite claims

_What is the true gospel?

-Cultural awareness and equipping followers of Christ with truth.

In this episode Adam Coleman gives you the play by play of his encounter with Conscious Community Teacher, Ray Hagins. Ray Hagins has been a big name in the Conscious Community for quite some time and has made it his mission to derail others from following Christ. When Hagins came to North Carolina last week Adam Coleman had something to say to him. Check out this episode and hear how it all went down!!!

Key Points

-What happened when Adam Coleman confronted Ray Hagins?

-Exposing Ray Hagins false claims

-Breaking down the psychology of pseudo-scholarship 

The Tru-ID Podcast is getting down to business! Adam Coleman begins a series in which we will be equipping believers with responses to objections to Christianity that have gained steam in the black community. Step by step the Tru-ID Podcast aims to put together a body of work that anyone can work their way through to build their confidence as a Christian and ability to share their faith. Letz go!!!

Key Points 

1. Ex-pastor Kevin Wesley 

2. Providing a framework 

3. The apologetics community's two biggest mistakes.

4. Getting to know who we're reaching out to.

This episode is dedicated to Oliver Edward Coleman aka My Dad (1950-2017)

His new album, The Narrative, was recently banned from Lifeway Christian Bookstores but today's guest, Sho Baraka, has much to say about race, culture, history, apologetics, and impacting culture with the Christian worldview. Sho Baraka is raising the bar of presenting Christ in the context of our world. This is not an interview you want to miss. Listen here...  

Whaddup Tru-ID family! In this episode we have the opportunity to catch up with gospel rapper, Eshon Burgundy. Eshon Burgundy is a well established rap artist who recently released his album, "The Passover", which debuted among the top ten on the Billboard charts. In this interview, we go behind the music and get his thoughts on topics such as his near death experience, race, the role of the church in our communities, and maintaining the faith as a gospel artist.  2017 is getting off to a great start!
