The Radical Middle

On Easter Sunday, Trump shared a message on Truth Social that had Fredy awake all night. Amidst Trump's ongoing legal challenges, Tommy and Fredy engage in a crucial conversation about how some Christian leaders may inadvertently damage the church's reputation by excessively spiritualizing the charges against President Trump and failing to hold him accountable. They also explore the comp...

Father wounds have always been a captivating subject within our community, and the conversation surrounding them remains relevant. However, in this discussion, we shift the focus away from conventional father wounds. Instead, we delve into the realm of wounds inflicted by "spiritual fathers." Are you weary of leaders who exert control and manipulation over those they are meant to guide?...

How much of American Nationalism has seeped into the Church? We as Christians are in a spiritual battle against the evil forces of this world. When you add American nationalism to this battle, it creates enemies out of other people, and the reality is, those people are created in the Image of God. In this current reality, we see key groups of people who profess Christ but don’t care about the suff...

“Who am I?” You might’ve asked yourself this question once, twice, maybe more. We have lost the piece that makes us who we are.  As leaders, we have a crisis. We are called to serve the marginalized, but the color of our skin disqualifies us.  What happens when your Christian Community is not fighting for the injustices within our country? Do you lean into the color of your skin and fight?  What c...

Time and time again, we have seen “whoever controls the Book, holds the Power.” This leads to a toxic Church AND Christian Leadership. We are going through the tension of how we read scripture and how we use it as a weapon to control people. How do we control the narrative when Pastors and Church Leaders are controlling the narrative to fit the Gospel to their beliefs? There are many mini Kingdoms...

We have experienced a tremendous amount of suffering these past couple of years, but with this comes polarization. As followers of Christ, how can we learn to share the suffering of others?  And how can we learn how to do this well?  What if suffering is imposed? Can we change the “they” narrative of suffering to a “we” narrative? Support the show & Follow Us ✅  Instagram ✅  Twitter ✅  TikT...

Is The Church Full Of Hypocrites? The answer may shock you. It’s important that we recognize our hypocrisy and come with a posture of “I do not always live out what I believe.”The most Christian thing you can say is “I was wrong.” Why is it so hard to accept this? When we allow idolatry to play a part in our lives, of course, it’s going to be hard to acknowledge our own hypocrisy. We need to embod...

Is Social Justice a Sin? We have seen our Urban Brothers and Sisters go through social justice issues like abortion, immigration, and racism, but we fail to wrestle with this tension because we care more about being on the “right side.” So what happens when we embody the values of others as opposed to that of Scripture? We miss the mark. We can’t be a witness when we play the victim. We need to sh...

We are at a time and point in history where there are white power structures and because of this, we have a demographic shift.  Don’t look at it as a loss, but rather as the most Christian thing to do because that’s what Jesus did. We can actually lay down our power for the benefit of others. It’s a dub.  We need to create a new leadership for a new world. Even if power shifts and nothing changes...

What would it cost for the church to abandon its position on the left and the right? What if you didn't have to choose sides? What if the gray is actually where Jesus led from? Jesus was a paradox and wasn’t afraid to embrace the tension. In The Radical Middle podcast Tommy Nixon and Co-Host Fredy Romero break down the fundamental principles of the Radical Middle. They’ll discuss how to live...
