Reparations

This week, we’re discussing why reparations matters, why it is an issue during the 2020 Presidential election, and what key points to listen for as the candidates make their case for reparations. 

Submission

This week, we attempt to tackle one of the biggest tools used to harm women. Submission has historically and consistently been misused and misunderstood. We try to provide some clarity this week. 

Pentecost and the Phoenix Force

This episode we revisit Pentecost and discuss how the Holy Spirit is the Phoenix Force. That’s it. That’s the description. 

One Bible, Many Gods

Christianity is one of the major monotheistic religions. If Christians believe in one God, why does the Old Testament not seem to have gotten the message? This week, we discuss the other gods mentioned in the bible, how the idea of one God came to be, and what that means for us…today. 

Black Music Pride

June is both Black Music Month and Pride Month. This year, we’re highlighting the contribution of black LGBTQ+ artists to the rich tapestry of music. These are a few of our faves, old and new. It’s Black Music. It’s Pride. Issa Celebration!

100th Episode

For our 100th episode, we look back and this experience, what we've learned and how we have changed as a result of this work. It’s an origin story, a redemption story, and a look at what’s next. It’s been an exciting and fulfilling ride to 100. It wouldn’t have happened without each one of you. Your comments, likes, and shares made all of this possible. We did this together!

Abortion Rights

Another landmark Supreme Court case is being challenged. This week, Mike and Amera discuss Roe v. Wade, the Christian obsession with it, what the Bible has to say about abortion, and the ultimate goal of those who seek to overturn Roe. It’s an important episode for an important topic. Join us. 

Brown v. Board of Education Turns 65!

Last week was the 65th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. Currently, federal judicial nominees are refusing to answer the low bar question of whether Brown was decided correctly. Something is amiss in the Federal Judiciary. Mike and Amera review the decision and the impact of both the ruling and the sustained campaign to circumvent the ruling. This episode is the first in a two-part series we continue next week when we look at Roe v. Wade and the Christian obsession with it. 

The Religions of Westeros

This week, Mike and Amera dive deep into the religious mythos of Game of Thrones. The Old Gods and the New, the Many-Faced God, the Drowned God, the Lord of Light, they all play integral parts in the character’s lives. The religious elements of Westerosi life are fascinating! Join us to see just how much religion drives the events of their world. 

The Rapture

This idea of the Rapture is not as old and ubiquitous in Christendom as we may believe. This week, Mike and Amera discuss its origins, impact, and why Christians may be worse off because of it.
