Before Black people had rights, we had the church. In this episode of Let Us Not Forget, we take a deep, honest look at the historic and present-day role of the Black church in the survival, strength, and stability of the Black community. From slavery to segregation, from the Civil Rights Movement to today's cultural crossroads, the Black church has been far more than a place of worship. It has been our refuge in times of terror, our classroom when education was denied, our bank when access was restricted, our organizing hub when justice was delayed, and our spiritual anchor when hope was under attack.But what has changed?Why does the Black church no longer hold the same central place it once did — and what has that shift cost our families, our children, and our communities?In this episode, we explore:The biggest difference between the Black community then and nowThe three major forces that contributed to the erosion of communal lifeWhy faith, family, and community were once inseparableAnd why restoring the Black church's role is essential to rebuilding the Black family and reclaiming our futureThis is not about nostalgia.This is about truth, healing, and direction.Because if we want to restore what has been broken, we must remember what once held us together.

Today's episode is especially important because we are exploring a topic many parents are considering more now than ever before. The topic is homeschooling, and if it is a good option for your family?' “Today's guest is a parent who made a thoughtful decision to homeschool her child. She's not here as a spokesperson or an expert with all the answers — she's here as a parent, sharing her real journey. She'll speak honestly about what led her to homeschool, what surprised her along the way, and what she wishes other parents understood about educating children outside of traditional classrooms.” Did you know that Black families are now one of the fastest-growing groups in the homeschooling movement in the United States. It's true.However, this conversation is not about convincing anyone to homeschool.It's about education with intention — understanding the options available to parents, and learning from those who are living it every day.” This is part one of a two part episode.

This letter demonstrates that fear, envy, and distrust were powerful strategic weapons slave owners used to keep slaves mentally and physically in bondage forever. Conditioning slaves to distrust those with black skin who look like them, and to trust only the white slave owner who doesn't. Pitting the old black male against young black male, black male against black female, light skin against dark skin. Ever wonder where that comes from? Does the Willie Lynch Letter involving the making of a slave have relevance to our struggles as African-Americans today? Listen to the letter and decide for yourself.

Initially I couldn't decide whether to title this message "Following God's Calling" or "Answering God's Calling." Then I decided that they go together. First of all, when God calls us we need answer the call, second, we need to follow what God is calling us to do. I believe the Book of Nehemiah is a masterpiece for learning how to answer and follow God's. I have listed eleven lessons that I have learned from this Book. Now following them is of course the challenge.
