We are in the second part of our inception series. Today we talk about why we believe in black liberation theology.

Today is a day of celebration!
We are officially going Live on the Tiktok platform!
Today's episode Brother Leon will tell the story of how Truth & Life Urban Ministry was birthed.
He will also discuss his personal experiences along the journey.

It is a new day in this ministry as we step into a progressive era in which we as a ministry will embrace the teachings of black liberation theology combined with the decolonization of our faith and the deconstruction of spiritual systems, thinking, and practices that haven't worked individually and collectively in communities of color.
Far too long have we've taken on the image, model and practice of our oppressors in our houses of worship.
Western christianity was never designed to work for us as people of color.
The strategy of the oppressor was to give you a spiritual system to enslave your mind, and body, and to have you believe that if you practice this new spiritual system the God of that system would deliver you and it would one day pay off.
It hasn't and it never will.
The people that gave you that system made a Hell for you that they'll never be afraid of.
However most of your experience in this system of christianity centers around you being afraid of going to hell, while forgetting that your oppressor has no fear of the Hell that he taught you to believe in with a slave bible.
You need something that has to work for you, because this right here, this western system isn't working for us as a people.

There is a price to infidelity.
Listen to this message and know the dangers, and ask yourself is the cost worth what it took years to build?

Happy Mother's Day!
We have a treat for you on this episode.
We have a joke by a phenomenal woman and content creator Ariel Fitzpatrick!
We also end the message with the best song by the group Boyz 2 Men, A Song For Mama.
We do not own the copyrights, but download this single and follow Ariel Fitzpatrick on IG and Tiktok.
Woman Be Not Afraid!
God is with you and you are the gift.

Part two of our marriage series focuses on what it means to make a wedding vow and fulfilling it.
Too many times we prepare for the ceremony but not the life after the ceremony.
The goal in marriage is to fulfill the vow of what you desired, which was marriage.
Cultivate the relationship and the marriage will flourish.

In our new series we will begin to explore marriage, and what it means.
Too many times we believe we can have a marriage without cultivating the relationship that got you to the marriage.
In part one we talk about order and flow.
There must be order in the relationship if you want a consistent flow of growth and peace.

The purpose of Jesus was prophetically spoken in the old testament. His purpose as your deliverer, savior, Lord, redeemer, and Christ was HiS purpose. His testimony was one of what HE would do and become.
Jesus also testified about you and how HE came to save that which was lost.
You are not as lost as you think you are.
You will always belong to God.

The purpose of Jesus was prophetically spoken in the old testament. His purpose as your deliverer, savior, Lord, redeemer, and Christ was HiS purpose. His testimony was one of what HE would do and become.
Jesus also testified about you and how HE would heal and deliver you.
You are the testimony of Jesus.
As we celebrate resurrection remember that we overcome by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of our testimony.
Our testimony bear's witness to what Jesus said He would do.

We have a two part message about forgiveness and the power to heal the body.
A lot of times spirits of infirmity latch onto the human body due to areas of traumas, and the unforgiveness of those traumatic events.
These unresolved traumas and the feelings behind them open the door for the enemy to bring upon us sickness and disease.
These sickness's manifest in the form of inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and other illnesses linked to internal stresses.
The goal with this message is to help you to see that freedom, deliverance, and healing begin at the moment you forgive yourself.
