I  love  the local church.  I really do. Deeply. But almost every church I know has members and attenders that get under the skin of the leaders.

This is a collection of videos that deal with some historical approaches to dealing with racism and African American thinking on racial equality and uplift. This collection has some great historical figures and debates alongside some really interesting conversations on what makes racism work so well and why.

This is an attempt to understand what's behind the current anger and rage in our Country. The horrific image of a white police officer crushing a black man beneath his knee, seemingly like a hunter posing over his prey, has outraged many across the nation and world who also feel the weight of racism bearing down on their necks. The state of mind that crushes a brother’s neck — as in the case of Ge...

Wow, Great discussion of Race and the current theological discussion of America and her politics. With a host of powerful clips, this experience discusses the current need to bring justice to humanity. We are trying to get this evil called racism to go away forever. 

A great hour log worship experience from Wesley Chapel UMC. Recent incidents are reminiscent of an atrocious era of hate and domestic terrorism where police officers and white protesters routinely brutalized African-Americans. The senseless death displays the continuance of systematic racism and privilege granted to white people in America.  It’s time to let our leaders know that We Are Done...

We talk about divine attributes in human phys- ical terms because it is a shorthand way of trying to describe some aspect of the indescribable. Many people realize that a reference to the voice of God, for example, is not an audible voice like the voice of human beings. God’s voice, except as it may be spo- ken through those persons closely enough attuned to divine realities to be able to speak th...

To get us right to the heart of this vital practice, we will examine several key biblical passages to guide our thoughts and hopefully , beyond our thoughts our prac- tice of prayer.

Just one week after we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are faced with the timeless story of “Doubting Thomas.” Jesus appears to his disciples, and they get to see physical proof of his resurrection. Yet, later, when Thomas asks to see proof because he was not there when Jesus appeared the first time, he seems to be chastised by Jesus and, in our tradition, branded as a doubter. What Thomas...
