June 14, 2023 How To Cultivate Joy
In the midst of what is going in your personal life, national politics, and global setting, how can we have and maintain the joy that we have? I want to spend this episode and offer some tips on ways that we can cultivate joy. This episode is more practical in nature and is for clergy or individuals who are active in antiracism work, clergy in the midst of their ministry vocation, workers in their respective vocation, students, moms, and everyone. This is encouragement for anyone who needs a lift. Consider becoming a patron and supporting. You can do that by going to www.patreon.com/UnapologeticallyAvram

April 04, 2023 My Personal Black History Part 2
So, I know that Black History month ended in February. However, I am still continuing with my personal history. In this episode I pick up where I left off where I first realized that there was a "problem" with me being black. I discuss my parents divorce, blended family with my step family, and navigating my identity formation in white spaces. The goal with these episodes is to give you an inside look into how I got to where I am, why antiracism is important to me, and why it is important that we strive to form authentic community in the church. Share this with your friends, family, and colleagues. Thank you so much for your support.

In this episode I want to welcome you into who I am. I am more vulnerable in this episode and I discuss my journey into reconciling my ethnicity with being a Christian. This is a process believers of color have been doing for quite some time in the American context. I hope that by listening to my journey you can connect with the vision, mission, and ethos behind Unapologetically Avram. This is my testimony of recognizing that my blackness was nothing to be apologetic about and that I can still be unashamedly Christian.

January 19, 2022 Say what about justice!?!?

This episode discusses how the Bible understands justice. Once we understand how the Bible understands justice, we can begin to as believers apply this to our current discussion about justice in our own context. This should challenge us to lay aside our modern, politically motivated understanding of justice, and begin to move towards reconciliation. After discussing justice I hope you are ready as we discuss race and injustice in America.

How does race, justice, and the bible relate to each other? Let's discuss the ethical, spiritual, moral, and social implications of these categories. This is an old discussion for some and a new introduction for others. I layout a few ideas of how I will address this topic in the next seven episodes. Feel free to reach out to me on the socials:
