72. Decolonizing Lent

The Righteous, Ratchet & Real Podcast is a weekly conversation between sister friends, ministers who met while pursuing their doctoral degrees. These discussions are meant for those who love God but side-eye the church. The conversations are ones you won't get in the pulpit but are just as sacred. We are discussing the nuanced journey of decolonizing faith within Black communities. In this episode, we reflect on the evolution of Lenten practices, from initial observations to deeper understandings. We discuss the challenges of deconstructing faith and the tensions between academic study and spiritual growth. Through candid conversations, we unpack the process of decolonizing faith, questioning interpretations of scripture, and seeking liberation within theological frameworks.

71. Shaking Up Your Lent

The Righteous, Ratchet & Real Podcast is a weekly conversation between sister friends, ministers who met while pursuing their doctoral degrees. These discussions are meant for those who love God but side-eye the church. The conversations are ones you won't get in the pulpit but are just as sacred. In this episode, we discuss spicing up your Lenten season with a fresh take on this age-old tradition. Ever walked into the cafeteria on a Lenten Friday and wondered where all the meat went? Our hosts share hilarious tales of childhood confusion and cafeteria chaos, reminiscing about their first encounters with Lenten practices. But Lent isn't just about giving up chocolate or Netflix binges. We're flipping the script and exploring unconventional sacrifices. Plus, we're shaking things up with suggestions for adding joy to our lives, like dancing, exploring new hobbies, and diving into captivating books by Black authors.

70. The Complex Spell in Black Girl Magic

The Righteous, Ratchet & Real Podcast is a weekly conversation between sister friends, ministers who met while pursuing their doctoral degrees. These discussions are meant for those who love God but side-eye the church. The conversations are ones you won't get in the pulpit but are just as sacred. Join us as we explore the magical aspects of Black Girl Magic—the ability to create something out of nothing, to thrive in the face of adversity, and to transform pain into strength. But we also question whether Black Girl Magic has unintentionally become a coping mechanism, a form of resistance against societal challenges. Does leaning into this magic negate the hard work, sacrifices, and resilience of Black women like Stacy Abrams, Beyoncé, and those on their doctoral journeys?
