Podcast Overview

What if faith isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out? Faith Under Construction centers Black Millennials and Gen Z voices wrestling openly with Christianity — its beauty, its baggage, and its place in our culture. As they engage in thoughtful conversations with experts at the intersection of faith and culture, the hosts Rasool Berry and Christin Thorpe dive deep into the big questions so many in the Black community are wrestling with—questions about God, justice, the church, and identity. Things like: • If I have Jesus, do I really need the church? • Is Christianity a white, oppressive religion? • What do I do with my doubts? … and so much more. This isn’t church PR. It’s real people navigating belief in public. Whether you’re committed, curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between — there’s space for you here. #FaithUnderConstruction #FaithAndCulture #BlackVoices #SpiritualQuestions

Beyond the Verse: How to Study the Bible & Actually Apply It (Kaydene Grant)

<p>Have you read the TEA that the Bible spills?! There’s drama over family inheritance, sibling rivalry, bitter betrayals, stolen identities, surprise reveals, enslavement . . . and that’s just the book of Genesis! The 66 books that make up Scripture each add something unique to God’s story, but they all point to the same truth: no matter how messy we humans get, the invitation to be redeemed, restored, and remade through Christ’s love is available to everyone. Join this special conversation with hosts Rasool Berry, Dr. Christin Thorpe, and guest Kaydene Grant as they share their experiences and tips for learning and living out God’s Word.   </p><p> </p><p><strong>Guest Bio: </strong> </p><p>Kaydene Grant, also known as Coach K, is a businesswoman, viral content creator, ministry leader, and author who brings Bible stories to life with humor, heart, and bold authenticity. She is the creative force behind Bible Tea, a viral digital platform known for its captivating, humorous, and biblically accurate storytelling that makes Scripture accessible to a new generation.  </p><p> </p><p>Kaydene wrote Bible Tea Volume One: Genesis for everyone who ever felt the Bible was boring, confusing, or out of touch. Written in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), the book reflects her voice, our culture, and her conviction that God’s Word is always relevant and relatable. With a background in education, ministry, and entrepreneurship, she is passionate about helping people grow closer to God in ways that reflect today’s culture, challenge religious norms, and stay rooted in Scripture.  </p><p> </p><p>Raised in a Caribbean Pentecostal church as the daughter of Bishop James Chalwell and Lady D, Kaydene now lives in Philadelphia with her husband, Antonio Grant, and their son, AJ.

Am I Doing this Right?: Navigating Doubt, Disappointment & Faith (Lisa Fields)

<p>It’s time to address the elephant—or doubt—in the room. You know those big questions we’re afraid to say out loud, ones like, “Is the Bible true?” or “Why does a good God let bad things happen?” Everybody has them, even when we’re afraid to admit it to one another. But what if those doubts we try to avoid thinking about at all costs are the very things God might use to help us know Him better? What if wrestling with them—and God—is the same place where we feel His presence the most? Join Christin, Rasool, and special guest Lisa Fields as we shine a light on some of the doubts and questions we’d rather keep in the dark.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Guest Bio: </strong> </p><p>Lisa Fields is the CEO and founder of Jude 3 Project, a leading apologetics organization dedicated to equipping the Black community with the tools to know what they believe and why they believe it. As a renowned Christian apologist, speaker, author, and film producer, she has been a driving force in shaping conversations on faith, theology, and culture. She uses innovative content to engage diverse audiences and challenge them to think critically about their beliefs.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses Mentioned: </strong> </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204%3A7%20&amp;version=NIV">Philippians 4:7</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2032%3A22-28&amp;version=NIV">Genesis 32:22–28</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%205%3A16&amp;version=NIV">James 5:16</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%204%3A6-10&amp;version=NKJV">2 Timothy 4:6–10</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20%20Corinthians%201%3A3-4&amp;version=NKJV">2 Corinthians 1:3–4</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2073&amp;version=NIV">Psalm 73</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%209%3A23-24&amp;version=NIV">Mark 9:23–24</a> </li></ul><p><br><strong>Featured Links: </strong> </p><ul><li>Keep the conversation going with the <a href="https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/FUFTBCIDG9_FUNCO_Guide+.pdf/1dfcdf464fbe11f1a94daea4a5602879">Discussion Guide</a> from this episode! </li><li>Follow Lisa Fields on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lisavfields/">Instagram</a>. </li><li>You can order a copy of Lisa’s book, When Faith Disappoints, through <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593601181/?bestFormat=true&amp;k=when%20faith%20disappoints%20lisa%20victoria%20fields&amp;ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ww_k2_1_11_de&amp;crid=29WNP0J1DR7H1&amp;sprefix=lisa%20fields">Amazon</a>. </li><li>Learn more about Lisa’s work with <a href="https://jude3project.org/">Jude 3 Project</a> </li><li>Follow Jude 3 Project on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jude3project">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jude3project">Instagram</a> </li><li>Faith Under Construction Landing Page: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/en/voices/faith-under-construction">https://www.odbm.org/en/voices/faith-under-construction</a> </li><li>VOICES Community: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/en/voices">https://www.odbm.org/en/voices</a> </li><li>Follow VOICES on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/experiencevoices/?hl=en">Instagram</a></li></ul>

Why Are They Running: Breaking Down the Black Christian Experience (Pastor Kellen Brooks)

<p>If King David, the man after God’s own heart, danced before the Lord (2 Samuel 6:14), does that mean we should be dancing between the pews every Sunday? Church is so much bigger than just our one experience of worship. But why is there such a wide variety in the ways we feel moved by the Spirit to praise, lament, or express our devotion to the infinite God—and how do I know what’s right for me? Join hosts Rasool Berry, Christin Thorpe, and guest Pastor Kellen Brooks as they unpack the history and culture behind the Black church experience.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Guest Bio: </strong> </p><p>Kellen Brooks, M Div, ThM is a musician, author, pastor, and public speaker in the Metro Detroit area. He pastors the Pentecostal Temple Church Of God In Christ, in Inkster, Michigan and is the founding pastor of Philos Church Of God In Christ in Detroit, MI.
