Join me as we explore the intersections of law, religion, and race in America—while keeping an eye on church news and the cultural pulse. Because justice isn’t just in the courtroom—it’s in the church pews, the group chat, and the headlines.

Pete Hegseth Needs to Stop Quoting the Bible
Last week Pete Hegseth kicked off his “Send Me” tour, referring to Isaiah 6 when the prophet answers the call from God asking who to send, and he says “Here I am send me.” This episode discusses why this is problematic.
Also, I look at why Christian Nationalists are resistant to embracing the Bible’s call for us to love others.
Finally, I share new music with the release of Jordan Welch’s song “Throne” the HBCU version!

Is DEI Anti-Christian
This week I discuss the list posted by the national faith advisory board (https://www.instagram.com/p/DcgrPQam4Z9/?img_index=8&stkn=MTlvcnVvNTVoeWVldg==) of the president’s “150 Victories for People of Faith.” On that list of celebration is that erasure of DEI. The implication is that DEI is somehow antithetical to people of faith, particularly Christian. I explain why this is very problematic.
Finally, I discuss the new Netflix docuseries “Death of a Preacher’s Wife” and how it shows the perpetuation of harmful theology and what we as the church must do to address it.
