From the Margins to the Mission: Rasul Berry
<p>What does it mean to eat a whole meal instead of just peanut butter and jelly?

Unglamorous Faithfulness: A Conversation with Pastor Carl Day on North Philly, Prison, and Building Culture That Lasts
<p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> Some people are formed by their environment. Pastor Carl Day decided to go back and change his.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> Born and raised in North Philadelphia, Carl grew up with an absent father, a teen mother carrying two boys, and a neighborhood shaped by poverty, drugs, and violence. He was intelligent. Ambitious. Competitive. And for a long time, those gifts found the wrong address.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> By 22, he was in a county jail cell facing an attempted murder charge with a half-million-dollar bail. What happened next is the kind of testimony that doesn't fit neatly into a salvation trope. It wasn't just a prayer that turned his life around. It was a pastor who refused to count him out. It was a jail chaplain who handed him a theology book. It was young men on his block calling him "Rev" before he called himself anything.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> In this episode of Can I Get a Witness?, Danielle Marck welcomes Pastor Carl Day, founder of Culture Changing Christians and Beat the Block, pastor of Culture Changing Christians Worship Center in Philadelphia, and one of the most clear-eyed voices in the city on what it actually takes to change culture. The conversation is raw, honest, and long overdue.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> They talk about:</p> <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">What it means to grow up "intelligent, ambitious, and competitive" in an environment designed to redirect those gifts toward destruction</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The pastor who saw something in Carl before Carl saw it in himself</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">What jail gave him that the streets couldn't: a theology, a calling, and men who needed him to mean it</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The hidden cost of faithfulness, including an epilepsy diagnosis at 30 that changed everything</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why the current generation of young people is more brilliant than we give them credit for</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why marches and hashtags alone are an antiquated playbook, and what innovative activism actually looks like</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">What Beat the Block is building, and why paying young men to develop themselves is discipleship, not charity</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The legacy he wants to leave: not a name on a building, but a movement that moves without him</li> </ul> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> This episode is for anyone who has wondered if their worst season was wasted. Pastor Carl would tell you: nothing is wasted when God is the one doing the accounting.</p>

In this episode, Danielle Marck sits down with the New York Times bestselling collaborator and author of Black Joy and Then They Came for Mine for a conversation about embodied faith, the courage to take up space, and what it means to surrender our small plans to a God who longs to blow our minds.</p>
