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.

Profane Faith

S8 E4: Faithful Politics Dr. Miranda Cruz

«МУТКА НА ФРОНТІ (DEFENSE MODE)» – це звук непохитної рішучості. Art95A пропонує потужний, енергійний трек, який вловлює дух української оборони. Це більше, ніж музика – це гімн витривалості, звукове відображення сили та єдності, продемонстрованих на передовій.

Поєднуючи потужні техно/хардстайл ритми з традиційними або сучасними українськими мелодійними елементами, трек створює напружену, індустріальну атмосферу, що підкреслюється потужними басовими лініями та наполегливими синтезаторами. Він створений для гучного виконання, підживлюючи боротьбу та повторюючи девіз: «Стій твердо, тримай лінію».

Слава Україні!

In a world where music transcends borders, Art95A emerged as a creative force blending the soulful depth of Ukrainian melodies with the lyrical and rhythmic storytelling of English music. The name became synonymous with artistic fusion—a bridge between two cultures, two histories, and two emotions intertwined in sound.

Rooted in the rich traditions of Ukrainian folk music, Art95A carried the weight of ancestral voices—the melancholic yet resilient ballads that spoke of love, loss, and triumph. The ringing chords of the bandura intertwined with modern synthesizers, while traditional choral harmonies danced with Western indie rock and poetic rap. It was a symphony of past and future, a canvas of sound where history met innovation.

Inspired by moments of struggle and hope, Art95A began crafting songs that resonated across nations. Some were anthems of perseverance, carrying the voices of Ukraine through powerful harmonies. Others were poetic reflections, blending English verses with the depth of Ukrainian emotion, allowing listeners to feel the pulse of two worlds colliding beautifully.

As the world listened, Art95A became more than a music project—it became a movement. The compositions traveled across digital landscapes, played in underground clubs, echoed through war-torn cities, and lit up grand stages. Each song was a testament to the idea that music is not bound by geography—it is carried by the hearts of those who sing it.

Now, Art95A stands as a storyteller, weaving together narratives in two languages, speaking to those who seek unity through sound.
