From Black History Reflections To Tyra Banks Controversy And Lenten Discipline

We open with joy and grief—celebrating Black History Month and remembering Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., a leader who shaped public life and our own church memories. Then we move straight into a candid reckoning with the America’s Next Top Model documentary. We talk about power, accountability, and how “it was the times” keeps getting used to excuse harm, from blackface shoots to pressured makeovers to on-set boundary violations.  We shift into the choices we control. Our Lenten fast looks simple on paper—no sweets, no fried foods, no bread—but the heart work is deeper: no secular music for some of us, no TV for others, and a commitment to treat 40 days as a reset for attention and gratitude.  Do you order a “medicine ball” at Starbucks or do you say the encyclopedia-length menu name and “small” versus “tall”. If you’re craving an episode that blends cultural critique, faith practice, and practical life with warmth, humor, and zero corporate-speak....this one’s for you. Press play, then tell us: what are you cutting, keeping, or questioning this season? Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.
