Unlocking Faith Episode 35 | Thankful When Life Ain’t Perfect

In this episode, we unpack how you can acknowledge your pain and still recognize God’s goodness, why the process matters just as much as the promise, and how community, journaling, and small moments of joy can help you keep going. They talk about trusting God in the middle of the storm, not just after everything works out, and how every difficult season can prepare you for something greater. 🙏🏾

💬 In this episode, we discuss:

• Being thankful even when life isn’t going as planned
• How to be honest about your struggles and your gratitude
• Why writing and journaling can help you process what you’re feeling
• The importance of having people around you who really “get it”
• Learning to trust God with the painful parts of your story
• Seeing growth, healing, and transformation as blessings too

If you’ve ever felt guilty for not “feeling” thankful during the holidays—or you’re forcing a smile while you’re low-key breaking inside—this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to pretend to be okay for God to be present in your life. 🧡

Unlocking Faith Episode 34 | The Silent Weight of the Holidays

The holidays are “supposed” to be joyful—but what do you do when your heart feels heavy instead? 💔🎄

In Unlocking Faith Episode 34 | The Silent Weight of the Holidays, hosts Marquis Wadley and Pastor Dr. Emory Berry Jr. have a real, unfiltered conversation about grief during the holiday season. They open up about personal losses, the pressure of family gatherings, and what it means to show up emotionally—especially for men who are taught to “be strong” and stay silent.

Whether you’ve lost a loved one, feel disconnected from family, or just don’t feel as “merry” as everyone expects, this episode reminds you:
👉 You’re not broken for feeling this way.👉 It’s okay to set boundaries and take time for yourself.👉 You can always call on God in the middle of your pain.

💬 In this episode, we talk about:

• Why grief often hits harder during the holidays
• How family gatherings can trigger both joy and pain
• The importance of emotional health and maturity, especially for men
• Practical ways to honor your feelings without feeling guilty
• How faith, prayer, and journaling can help you process loss
• Why God is not intimidated by your sadness, anger, or questions

If you’re struggling this season, we pray this conversation gives you language for what you feel, permission to grieve, and hope that healing is possible. 🕊️

Unlocking Faith Episode 31 | All Welcome: Faith, Pride & AI ✝️🌈🤖

Can the Church truly be a home for everyone—and what happens when AI shows up in our spiritual life? In this episode, Marquis Wadley and Dr. Emory Berry keep it real on why many LGBTQ+ folks avoid church (hint: it’s not God—it’s how we treat people), and how we can build a community where everyone belongs. We also dive into AI: amazing tool or dangerous substitute for discernment? Let’s unpack it together.

💡 What you’ll hear

• Why judgmental culture—not Scripture—often pushes people away 🙅🏽‍♂️
• Practical moves for building a welcoming church community 🤝
• Where AI helps (study plans, research, translations) and where it can’t (prayer, conviction, wisdom) 🧭
• Guardrails so tech serves people—never replaces God 🛑✨
