The Rise of Black Power transformed the fight for civil rights in America, emphasizing black pride, self-determination, and empowering communities for lasting change.

Unyielding Strength of Black Power: An Emotional Call for Change

In a world on fire, where the powerful tighten their grip and the voices of the forgotten are buried beneath the weight of greed, “Dust to Gold” emerges as a battle cry for the unheard. This album is an anthem of resilience, a rebellion set to rhythm, and a testament to the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to be silenced.  

Blending raw, evocative lyricism with anthemic melodies, “Dust to Gold” captures the defiance of a generation that rises from the ashes, turning oppression into power, and despair into a movement. From haunting ballads of lost freedoms to electrifying anthems of resistance, each track pulses with the energy of revolution.  

This is more than music—it’s a reckoning. The city is burning, the echoes may fade, but the fire in the forgotten will never die.

Le Roi qui ne plie jamais

Here we go...getting into politics and race and gender and...well, you get it. My guest this week is the amazing author and scholar, Dr. Miranda Zapor Cruz. Dr. Cruz is professor of historical theology at Indiana Wesleyan University. She holds a PhD in religion, politics, and society from Baylor University's J. M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies and an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary.

I also get into the latest and greatest regarding the war!


From the publisher: 
Christians who seek to relate their faith to politics have always encountered tensions. Instead of easy answers and simple checklists, we need tools to help us thoughtfully navigate the complexities of Christian faithfulness in an increasingly diverse and polarized society.

In this book, Miranda Zapor Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
