On the eve of MLK Day 2021 in the United States, I want to share this podcast about the importance and urgency of disarming anti-Semitism. I review the diabolical partnership that occurs in our lives when we harbor anti-Semitic sentiments and how to break free from that connection so that it has no place in your heart.

Episode 42: Anti-Semitism: Engaging An Ancient Hatred That Connects You To The Spirit Of Division

Right now is the time for the church to stop celebrating and justifying Christoper Columbus. This man, who proudly engaged in very evil and immoral behavior, has no place being celebrated by anyone who calls themselves a disciple of Jessus Christ. Using the foundational scripture given to use by Jesus, John 10:10, to distinguish between the works of darkness of the works of Christ, I discuss how conversations I had with Christians last year led me to make this strong appeal to Christians to stop celebrating Christopher Columbus.

A text I received on Memorial Day troubled my heart about an issue that is very familiar to me. What troubled me even further is how the media covered what happened over Memorial Day Weekend 2020, which is also very familiar, and what motivation is behind that coverage. This episode of the ReBranded Christianity podcast begins a series entitled, From the Heart. I am a speaking on current events and cultural issues that have been deeply within my heart for some time and putting them in a biblical context. This series will be therapeutic, enlightening, revelatory, and cross-corrective.

From the Heart: Memorial Day Weekend 2020

An evening walk led to an epiphany that I share in this episode of the Rebranded Christianity podcast. I believe this heart-to-heart episode will be both a reflective and springboard moment for you.

PIVOT - The Moment When You Have To Turn In The Direction

Anger over YouTube comments about the Civil Rights Movement led to an answered prayer that has changed my life. God placed these three words on my heart, "The Human Race." In this episode of the Rebranded Christianity podcast, I discuss this major moment, the Bible verse that confirms it, and how the Body of Christ must break free from cultural norms that promote racism to show the unity Jesus intended for us to exemplify.

The Human Race, That's What The Bible Says

We all need an occasionally escape from reality, but our culture has become addicted to escapism. But what happens when the tools we use to escape reality no longer satisfy the soul's desire for change - for something different? In this episode of the Rebranded Christianity podcast, I give you the tools to stop running from uncomfortable realities, turn to God, and experience breakthrough.

Escapism, When It Ends

In the final segment of this three-part series, I examine true Christian discipleship and distinguish that from a Christianity that is more about the culture then it is about Jesus. I review how only the true disciples of Christ will stand as the Western World turns against Christianity, but those who Christianity is rooted in the culture are in danger of falling away from their faith.

The Falling Away: Where Will You Land As Religious Culture Falls in the Western World - Part Three

In part two of this three part series, I discuss the damage that is being done to the Christian faith by those in the church community who promote the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation and that it needs to get back to its Christian roots. I examine the origin of this belief, its impact on society, and what should be the stance of the church community in an America that is currently growing more indifferent and hostile towards religion.

The Falling Away: Where Will You Land As Religious Culture Falls in the Western World - Part Two

In part one of this three part series, I examine why, after being intertwined for centuries, a separation process started between the Western World and its religious culture. I distinguish religious culture from authentic Christianity. I also begin a discussion about how elements in the church community today unnecessarily keep division going between religion and the secular society.

In the final installment of this four part series, I discuss ways a person must disengage the culture of racism among white Christians.

It is time that the church divorce racism. In part three of this four part series, I discuss why racism in the Western church is one of the greatest tragedies in modern world history.

Gandhi's Rejection: Divorcing The Legacy of Racism Among White Christians - Part Three

In part two of this four part series, I discuss my personal experiences with racism in the white Christian community. I review how these experiences have affected me and changed my approach towards the Christian community.

Gandhi's Rejection: Divorcing the Legacy of Racism Among White Christians Part Two

Racism and the Church have been married for centuries. This relationship undermines the great love commandments of Christianity and The Golden Rule. The hypocrisy of The Western Church has tremendously affected modern world history and culture in different ways. A divorce needs to occur between racism and the church, and the time is right now. The purpose of this series is to provide a historical and current context, my personal experiences with racism in churches, the tragedy this legacy has created, and how to individually disengage racism, and by doing so, divorce this legacy. In Part One of a four part series, I give a background and provide framework for this series.

Gandhi's Rejection: Divorcing the Legacy of Racism Among White Christians - Part One

This statement from Pope Francis struck a chord within me: The church is obsessed with abortion, gay marriage and contraception. I was so happy to have a prominent leader in the church speak out about, what I refer to as, an obsessive fear of sex and sexuality that has existed in the Christian community for centuries. In this podcast, I personalize my experience growing up in the church as an adolescent through adulthood and how I was made to view sex, and how I have developed a balanced perspective about it now that helps me steer clear of stumbling over the extremes that exist in the church and in the society regarding human sexuality.

The Pope Let The Cat Out of The Bag

Women are more liberated now than they have ever been before, but yet, there is one oppressor that women struggle to get unshackled from - beauty. God created beauty, our desire to see beautiful things, and a woman's desire to be considered beautiful. Society's perspective on a woman's physical beauty is far out-of-balance with God's viewpoint and because of that, women have to get free from the oppression of beauty to authentically be confident women. In this podcast, I provide you balanced, biblical solutions to escaping the oppression of beauty and being a confident woman.
