Confusions and Reality; What makes something True?

“The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth”. Truth is the bedrock in which society is able to thrive, live,  and be free. True justice is predicated on knowing, living, and speaking the truth. Our education, justice, healthcare, and other institutions cannot properly function without truth as a fundamental. In the episode, we go on a journey of understanding and exploring what makes something true and how others for centuries have explored the concept of truth. Take a seat at the table and let’s explore the truth.

Introducing Graced With Questions

For the past 2 years, you journeyed faithfully with us on the cradle, where we explored personal, relevant, and difficult moments in our country and society, and for that, we are grateful. In 2020, pandemic year, we felt a need to change course and embark on a critical and challenging journey to tackle serious existential questions facing our world, so we created a new podcast called “Graced with Questions”. For a taste, the first episode will be in this feed. Visit us at https://gracedwithquestions.com. About Graced With Questions We are born with questions, aspirations, dreams, and curiosity. In the midst of fear, we believe God has grace for our difficult questions. Graced With Questions podcast is placing itself in the midst of the fire by aiming to address life’s most difficult questions. We will discuss existence and experiences from a philosophical, theological, cosmological, and psychological perspective, in a place without judgment, shame, and fear. We are in pursuit of answering questions of the heart. No questions barred.

Reflections in a Pandemic Year

We will never forget 2020. The experiences and stories of this year have made their way into our hearts, mind, and soul. We are forever marked. My hope and prayer for us is that we would not leave this year the same but be transformed for the better. Many lessons and moments need our attention and reflection. In this episode, I had some of my dear friends share their end-of-the-year reflections and takeaways. I hope this encourages you to do the same even if it is painful. Be blessed, be kind, and be safe. We will see you in 2021 with some surprises. Love you much! Feedback? email us at thecradlepodcast@gmail.com [thecradlepodcast@gmail.com]

Letter to the White Church

"Where did it go wrong?" I ask the White church. Why the silence for so long? Your time for redemption is here. I began this conversation with God, myself, and a pen. My simple reflection on Black lives became a letter to the White Church and to the Body of Christ. The Gospel began in the East, but it was written to cover and speak to all humanity. Yet, for so long, the American church has preached a partial gospel. The Gospel in its entirety is a radical narrative on love, justice, forgiveness, and freedom. Jesus Christ was crucified because of good news that went against accepted social norms. “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and please the widow's cause.” (Isaiah 1:17). As members of the Body of Christ, we cannot miss another moment in time to make right the watered down gospel of the West. In this episode, I have a conversation with one of my producers, Dr. Qi Yang, about this letter to the White western church.  The full letter will be available on my social media and the Cradle Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/thecradlepodcast [http://www.facebook.com/thecradlepodcast].  Take a front-row seat, sip your tea or coffee because this gets real and deep real quick!
