Other than the fact that the title speaks for itself, we're glad to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all who supported, and invite you to be a part of the new family and team as we introduce our newest podcast: Two Americas | One God:: A Podcast! Details coming soon! Dropping Independence Day! Link will be uploaded here by that time as well.
On this episode, we discuss the causes of what made mass shooting culture (yes, that's a thing now, unfortunately) common as we mourn the tragedies and loss that have happened in the past few weeks, along with addressing the (not so) hidden hate behind some of the shootings. We also dive into the ever-present issue of gender equality (It's biblical. Coming to an episode really soon near you.), this time concerning the issue in women's college sports and the discovery of the weight room design in March Madness...or lack thereof.

On this episode, we're excited to start the process of engaging with our listeners with the I-2-I Mail Bag! Shots to Tyrone H. for your questions on leadership. Jordan, Devon, and Justyce break down their experiences, perspectives, and world views as they tackle questions concerning what leadership is, what determines great leadership, and a host of others. Speaking of leadership, we also do our first #PettyEddie in a minute in which we take a.look at a (pretty sure now former) lead pastor and his commentary from the pulpit, where we can only ask the question: why??? Take a listen and let us know what you think. Thank you much for the support. Keep rockin'. One love. The I-2-I Team
This episode welcomes Eric Skwarczynski to the conversation, shedding a light on the malpractice of many church cultures; his specific focus being on the abuses of the independent fundamental Baptist church in America. We encourage you to listen to this amazing, intense conversation and stories in hopes of shining the light of culpability, accountability, and transparency in the church. You can also get more of his insights on his amazing podcast, Preacher Boys, available on Apple Podcasts.

On this episode, we celebrate Black History APPRECIATION Month by encouraging everyone to do something that normally isn't done concerning Black history in our society: learn about it. The REAL it; the one that normally isn't mentioned in the rhetoric of America. Even Christian America. And, in light of many recent events, we begin the process of taking an in depth look at leadership culture in the church. Most significantly, we study and address how things like leadership and vision are often mistaken at best, or flat out conflated, with something far more important and...well...biblical.

Appreciate the patience. A lot of things in the works, but... For now, Justyce interviews Jordan for a class project in her masters program. Yeah!
In our annual reflect of the legacy of MLK, we cross check his ideals against some of the recent events and mindsets while reminding everyone not all his quotes and mindset were “warm and fuzzy.” We discuss being fed up with the hypocrisy of Dave Ramsey’s (not so) greatest place to work culture, leading to a discussion of how some Christian leaders have other’s “six” when they really shouldn’t, and how it’s costing people their rightful place in God’s Kingdom.

To kick the year off, we're honored to have the company and conversation of Amber Ivey, expert in all things data, nonpartisan analysis, and technology with the aim of helping to improve policy and government. She has a background in performance management and operations. In addition to this, she has her own podcast: A.I. Decodes the System.

Happy New Year!! Finally wrapping the "event" known as 2020, we finish up from the previous episode by discussing the state of "generosity" in Christian America. We also touch base on the one thing we'll encourage everyone to boldly stay away from as we (kinda) celebrate the bold step pornhub . com has taken to help stop human/sex trafficking.

Wrapping up the year with a few more Petty Eddies involving degrees that don’t matter in certain white houses for certain people and how donuts are only worth candy. And we discuss how times have changed at one of the most magical places in the world...not for the better.

On this episode, we take a look at two awesome public servants and congratulate them on their hypocrisy for our "Petty Eddie" of the week, congratulate America on beating covid records that should not have been broken, and dive into the grace, truth, and love of Christian community and what it should look like in our current climate. From there, we will positively kamikaze the conversation by introducing the most fearless theology yet, and Devon can't handle a real traditional black Thanksgiving in this week's "White Folk Wonder."

Wrapping up the previous episode, we return to the scene of one of our more "go there" conversations in review of the election and its ties to the "good ol' Christian days" and what that really means. And the hits just keep coming as Jordan awards another Petty Eddie to the largest group yet: certain single issue voters. Finally, Devon's "White Folk Wonder" asks a question concerning the POC vote this year that Jordan really isn't trying to answer...but does. Let us know what you think!

Guess who's back...and we had plenty to speak on. So much, this is a mandatory two parter. We're glad to begin the rabbit trail of how this election has impacted the state of our nation, it's people, its faith, thee Faith (there's a difference), and the possible revelation of what it means finally admitting the DIVISION (say the word with us now. DEEE - VIIIIII - SSIOONN) among our people, especially Christians, and the need for all sides to detox and/or decondition from incorrect schools of thought. This should be fun. But don't take our word for it. Scope it, and let us know what you think! Thanks as always for your support. Keep rockin'. The I-2-I Team
Taking a break after our 50th episode, and speaking on events concerning the election (on the night of). Breaking down the context of understanding the “adversity” brothers are born for...and a bunch of other stuff it’s not very popular to speak on. Enjoy!
Oh boy...OH BOY!!!!! 50 Coming out ya stereo...or headphones. We celebrate releasing our 50th episode by having one of our most interesting and intense conversations yet with Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the historically eye-opening book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. We will dive into how schools of thought created by this branch of faith have impacted the issues affecting our nation. The hope in such reflection is to create awareness and reconciliation, but we understand this will still probably rub some folks the wrong way. As you'll hear in the convo, it's done out of love. Please scope the episode and her book! Let us know what you think. Thanks for the continued support and for rockin' with us for 50 EPISODES!! You are appreciated.

Preamble to the conversation: this was recorded back in May, and preserved for production for a reason. Preamble to the Preamble to the conversation: we apologize. Sound quality is rough, but content is so good. Sooooo so so SOOOO good. Meet Brandon J.

One of which, Not From Around Here: What Unites Us, What Divides Us, and How We Can Move Forward. On this episode, we have a very strategic conversation on the importance of not abiding by the "single story narrative," why biases aren't necessarily bad, and how these things impact current faith culture...and a whole lot more.

One this episode, we continue our conversation with Cheyne Dent, discussing current events and philosophy and diving into the content of www.gettingmylife.org (again, probably the best website name ever). We also discuss the importance of not selling anyone short as no one is beyond redemption...no one. Not even released convicts in Florida or the billionaires trying to help them out.

On this episode, we’re honored to have the company and conversation of life-long sister of the podcast, Cheyne Dent. She has an amazing, touching I-2-I story which, in part, fuels her drive to the create her latest upstart; an powerful and provocative blog site offering a different perspective that serves to help those engaging to think differently about how they approach their circumstances. You know...to get their lives at www.gettingmylife.org (Yes, that IS the real name of the website. Pretty dope, huh?). The first part is an icebreaker convo where we discuss the topic of how (in)famously know individuals from the NBA share a profoundly impactful moment we seriously doubt would’ve happened had it not been for covid.

On this episode, we take a look at the interesting subject of how Ps. Tim Keller believes Christians don't, and shouldn't, fit themselves in a two party system (and how he might just be right), pay tribute to the Notorious RBG and appreciate her I-2-I'ness, and hold a roast for Skip Bayless and his audacity to shame Dak Prescott for doing something that all humans should do: be open, honest, and real.

We finish up the discussion with Josh about compassion fatigue, and dive into issues of fruit and root: from racial discrimination right down to the sin that so easily entangles...no Will and Jada. Josh also breaks down his philosophy of how men and their lack of ownership have contributed to maybe 100% of the issues the world has faced, faces today, and no doubt will face in the future. We just might agree with him 100% as well. Jordan also lays out the an ideal thought that issues aren't good vs. evil, but evil vs. evil? Please, let us know what your think.

Following up on the previous episode, we circle back to ideas surrounding the change in law enforcement over the years, good and bad. Jordan reflects on, and appreciates, times officers gave him grace because he was acting ridic. With Devon’s latest White Folk Wonder, we take a dark turn down the road in TV and film...literally, asking the question of whether or not the issues we see today have been apparent in our favorite shows and movies, and we begin the process of an “agape” project.

In a glad moment of admitted hypocrisy, Jerry Falwell gives us no choice but to give him the Petty Eddie of the week (we honestly tried, but he wasn’t helping soooo). This then gives us rabbit trail material on how much leaders tend to be above the law and the issues this has on belief and society as a whole. Oh yeah...we’re also tired of black men being shot...still. Let’s talk some more about that, and how we’re still thankful for law enforcement just to show we’re not narrative enforcers. Thank you.

Coming up for air for a sec, we discuss Jimmy Butler’s petty, yet successful?? hustle of a coffee biz in the NBA bubble and some playoff catch up. And, after 95 years since the initial discussion (covid time), the I-2-I team finally gets to tackle all the pop culture wisdom of the hit Broadway musical, Hamilton. In it, we discover the more things change the more they stay the same, and that hip hop literally saves this play from cultural hypocrisy, especially in the middle of a racial pandemic...we’re glad to explain in the latest edition of White Folk Wonder.

Yes, the title is a lot. And gladly, so is this episode. We begin speaking on a variety of topics. From there, it goes downhill and quickly. Thankfully, in a very good way. We also approach the lost art of conversation...and it’s zombie resurrection on FB, as well as a experimental thought on why Jesus waited after He resurrected before His ascension. May just be a little hard to refute after the explanation. Either way, we pray it blesses and inspires.

We break down myths, stereotypes, and a variety of other topics, including a very interesting comparison to what is considered the “angry” brown girl thanks to the latest “White Folk Wonder.” You may laugh...you may not.

Remembering Civil Rights and legislative LEGEND John Lewis, we get in a little bit of “good trouble” as we tackle racial and women’s equality in a place that hits home for all on this podcast, as ball is life. Also (deep sigh), this episode’s edition of “White Folks Wonder” is brought to you by an entanglement...we’ll leave that there. And yes, we again really do not talk about Hamilton.

We do some more follow up with NASCAR’s excellence against discrimination, talk about the NBA re-opening...kinda.

Back from a much needed break, we get back at it with the world’s current affairs concerning right and wrong. We congratulate Starbucks on (not) getting their own market, celebrate a student athlete’s decision to make a very bold move for the sake of moral conscience, and we dare tread running through one of the most dangerous places to be in the season: the comments sections of FB posts...which is actually nothing new so there’s that. Thankfully, we did our best to run all this and so much more through the cross. Prayerfully, we weren’t too petty in the process. Yes, just petty enough. Enjoy!

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a promise fulfilled is a tree of life...this was a raw, unscripted Bible study for the Scan In group on FB this past Thursday. Excuse the sound quality. And in keeping myself honest, there’s a correction. The verse mentioned stating “...Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace...” is wrong. It is Eph. 4:3, not Phil. The desire was simply to share the current thoughts in cue. Please, as with everything right now, hear the heart and love within.

We’ve received a lot of questions and had a LOT of conversation in light of last week’s events with George Floyd and the response of all, including the church and US Government. We wanted to have an organic talk about everything and went way over because, admittedly, we lost it. This is the recording of us “professionally and respectfully” losing it. Forgive us for not staying on script only. We mean what we say, but regardless of your stance as you listen know all is still spoken in objectivity and love; as “better are the wounds of a friend...” We also take a sideways look at the life of George Floyd with an article about him that most people may not have seen concerning him being an impactful minister in his hometown of Houston, TX.

We pray, with context, you gain understanding that will see past its use. That being said... We waited a minute to see exactly what would roll out, but now we have our time for conversation concerning the untimely and highly unnecessary death of then 25 year old, Ahmaud Arbury.

We discuss the apocalyptic 18 wheeler of burning toilet paper, the “impressive” story of a leader’s perseverance for their cause, even if it costs them their life...and others (insert sarcastic tone here), a refreshing perspective on lament?? concerning COVID-19 from an “NT” g.o.a.t., and finally calling a spade a spade on how certain branches of Christianity have...are hindering the process of progress in light of current circumstances. https://time.com/5813888/truch-crashes-toilet-paper-texas/ https://www.newsweek.com/leader-north-carolina-protests-against-stay-home-tests-positive-coronavirus-1500545 https://time.com/5808495/coronavirus-christianity/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/opinion/coronavirus-trump-evangelicals.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inspiredtoinspire/message
When I (Jordan) first had THIS conversation with Matt Mattera a few years back, I swore it wasn’t real and he just had the darkest sense of humor I’d ever encountered. After processing its truth, the following was determined: 1. This is cray. 2. There’s virtually nothing we can’t endure, because we apparently WILL have to endure virtually anything. 3. Someone needs to hear this. This testimony will inspire people at the least, but has the potential to give someone going through what seems like (it should’ve been) the IMPOSSIBLE the Hope needed to overcome. This is a scan in exclusive. Meet Matt and Erica Mattera. They’ve been through hell and aren’t just living to tell about it.

Many people have taken steps to move forward in their world after the loss of a loved one. The closer they are, a spouse perhaps, usually makes it even more difficult and requires a greater degree of concentration, counseling, therapy. However, that therapy normally doesn’t consist of skydiving, driving a NASCAR, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro...basic stuff *insert sarcasm here. That is until you meet Sheri Hunter, author of the book Daring to Live and 1/4 of the group known as the Dare Divas.

This episode features a lot of talk about the caronavirus, what we should be doing to stop the spread of the pandemic (from trusted sources), why some are not, 18,000lbs of stolen toilet paper (also from trusted sources lol), bad theology and how this is NOT a sign of the end times, and prayers for Devon because this is the worst year of his life even though there’s still more than 3/4’s of it left to go...you know, the new normal. Give it a listen and let us know what your think. Thank you for your support. We pray it blesses you. Scan in!!

On this episode, we’re glad to have new friend to the podcast Bria Brown. She’s the creator and curator of The Art of Be, a wellness resource blog that’s proving to be very powerful and impacting. Rather than just speak on the blog, Bria is glad to discuss a very important topic: choosing purpose over feelings and why this is so very important today. We invite you to tune into her wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Thank you once again for your support. We pray this, and every facet of the I-2-I, continues to bless you. Enjoy.

On this episode, we have the honor and privilege of conversing with pastor, speaker, and author Sharon Hodde Miller. She and her husband captain Bright City Church in Durham, NC. We get full access her latest book: Nice:: Why We LOVE to be Liked and How God Calls Us to More. No...it’s not quite what you think. We simply suggest...read the book. Before that though, scan into this awesome interview with an awesome woman of God who’s challenging modern Christianity as she pioneers the injection of this not so modern biblical principle back into the bloodstream of the Body. You’re welcome in advance. Be sure to check out her website as well: www.sheworships.com We’re excited to bring this one to you, and pray it blesses in a real way. Let us know what you think.

Welcome back. Happy New Year! Keeping it light in this episode, we revisit some of the awesome things that have occurred the past few months concerning generosity and sports. Also, we ask the question: why is it such a stigma for the church to be generous? You know...what the church is supposed to do. Prayers this blesses. Thank you for listening to the latest episode.

As promised, a continued conversation attempting to comprehend the journey of someone willing to voice their struggle with leaving a church after nearly 15 years and the journey that has sense ensued. Some of the convo is uncomfortable, but trust it’s more appreciated and necessary than anything. The prayer is it helps you explore part of what this conversation will approach: expressing frustration, making sure you know what believe (as much as you can) and loving everyone even if...you get the idea. Thanks for rockin’ with this. Prayers this blesses.

In this episode, we have a real and raw conversation with Jamie Turnbull, a good friend who’s honest enough to voice his struggle with the Faith, issues, inconsistencies and all, with love and respect. We found it refreshing for someone to be able to do this, as it opens the door to a conversation that addresses part of a main question many Christians SHOULD want an answer to: why are people leaving the church?! This is just one vantage point but we pray it will help you, believer and non alike, as we all continue to struggle in this beautiful, reckless, ratchet, and ambiguous...but still beautiful journey of life in Faith. Thank you always for listening. Let us know what you think.
