A Warm Invitation to Church

Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase.

Ma'Khia Bryant, LeBron James, and Derek Chauvin (Part 1 of 2)

Episode 40

On April 20th, the same day the verdict came in on the Chauvin trial, Ma'Khia Bryant was shot and killed by a police officer. National tensions reignited, and LeBron James fueled them with a tweet that many took to be a call to dox and harm the officer. But what are the facts of this case? Was the shooting justified? Are children capable of evil, and should they be held responsible for the evil they commit? Should the officer be charged?

Join us in this episode to talk about these things and their implications for race and police relations in the country.

Black Culture: a Monolith?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...  Episode 5  Recently Joe Biden caused a stir in the African American community by implying that the community was a monolith. We took that statement and dived into whether he was correct in his analysis.  Furthermore, we used Coleman Hughes’ messy experiment by comparing 2nd generation Caribbean American culture to that of the African American culture. We ended the episode with sharing how all cultures are monoliths in that we are all born in sin and that we can break free from our bondage though repentant faith in Jesus Christ.

Black Lives Matter - and the Police

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 30   BLM - 5    The police has been the target of much social backlash recently. A lot of that backlash has come from the Black Lives Matter movement. Technology has made it quite easy to run into our own corners and just talk with folks who agree with our stances. Therefore, we at the Removing Barriers Podcast wanted to give the police a voice to share their side of the story, to share their heart on the matter.    In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Officer CigarBro (obviously not his real name and his jurisdiction will remain unknown). We discussed why he became a police officer, the dangers of being a police officer, and general policing practices. We also discussed the procedures to follow if pulled over and how to respond...
