After this I decided to turn those blog posts into a book. I am praying about how God wants me to release it...self-publishing or through a publisher. Stay tuned! 2

I was recently asked to give a presentation on Belonging. My part of the presentation was based on my personal journey to racial healing based on the Bible and I called it The Koinonia Theory. 1

I also notice that when I post about some of my work here it's not as engaged. Sigh....it's a different crowd but X was hateful in so many ways.

Well I have officially closed all of my X accounts. My hope is that this space doesn't get sold to someone who will allow for people to call my children the N word no matter how much money they're offered.

Officially leaving the cess pool of X this week. Posted a pic of my 15 yr old son and someone called him the N word and of course no consequences...you know it's freedom of speech.

To those who wait on Him that strength shall be given...How are eagles' wings obtained? Only 1 way--by the eagle's birth. If you are born of God, you too have wings like eagles. You may not have known it, you may not have used them; but God can and will teach you how to use them." -Andrew Murray 2

You know what 'wings like eagles mean?' The eagle is the king of birds; it soars the highest into the heavens. Believers are to live...in the very presence...of God...but they need God's strength to get there. 1

My talk is inspired by Boethius and is called Consolation in Captivity where I explore how the classical tradition comforted Boethius, Dante, MLK and Malcolm X while they were in captivity.

The Difference between Nationalism and Loving Your Heritage

Ending America's efforts to stop racism must continue. When Reconstruction ended, Jim Crow came. Historically, when we stop these efforts, we regress. In this video, I share personal stories of dealing with racism growing up in Christian schools. youtu.be/tRcjXKLM8Nw?...
