“Sometimes I'm not sure even believers understand the power that exists in their sheer humanity. That there really is something that God has placed on the inside of us that when we come to some form of collected agreement—not uniformity, but just some kind of collective unity around something—that really wonderful, great, powerful things can happen.” (Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson) Growing up in Oakland, California, Jackie Thompson didn't know that sociologists were referring to her neighbourhood as “The Killing Zone”—a part of the city with the highest concentration of homicides. Now, as senior pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson continues to serve the Oakland community throughout its ups and downs, offering a Jesus-centred vision of justice and hope, present to the pain and suffering of the city. In this episode Thompson joins Mark Labberton for a discussion of her local pastoral ministry in Oakland, California. Together they discuss Jackie's life and experience as a one of the first women to be appointed senior pastor in a black Baptist church; her college experience at UC Berkeley; what it means to respond to the call of social justice and biblical faith; the blessings and challenges of pastoring a large black church in Oakland; how to centre local ministry on the pain and suffering of a community; the temptation of power; the political season and candidacy of Kamala Harris; and how to “fight for a vision of the kingdom of God where there is enough for everybody.” About Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson Described as a transformational preacher, dynamic leader and ministry trailblazer, Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson is an inspiring example of what God can do with a life committed to the call. She currently serves as the beloved senior pastor of the Allen Temple Baptist Church in her native Oakland, California. Her 2019 election made history nationwide as the first woman called to serve as senior pastor of this historic African American Baptist Church founded in 1919. Before being called in this capacity, Thompson served as the assistant pastor at Allen Temple and as youth minister at Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington, DC, the first woman to serve in both capacities. Committed to excellence in scholarship, Thompson received her bachelor of arts in political economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master of divinity from Howard University School of Divinity in Washington, DC. While at Howard, she received the Nannie Helen Burroughs Award for Academic Excellence and the Henry G. Maynard Award for Excellence in Preaching and Ministry. Believing in the importance of both orthodoxy and orthopraxy, Thompson continued her studies at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, where she was awarded the doctor of ministry degree in African American church leadership. She is a member of the NAACP and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Her activism and leadership have been recognized by various chapters honouring her with the Community Excellence Award and as Distinguished Woman of the Year. Among other honours, Thompson has been inducted into the distinguished Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers. Thompson is a gifted preacher, administrator, and published author travelling and ministering extensively nationally and internationally, often in arenas previously unchartered by women. In addition, she has been called on by local and national print and electronic media as an opinion leader to offer perspective and hope amid the pressing issues of the day. She is currently on the teaching staff of the Berkeley School of Theology in the area of public theology and preaching. Her mission is to see transformation in the lives of others and is humbled by every opportunity to serve. Show Notes Learn more about Allen Temple Baptist Church: https://www.allen-temple.org/ Growing up in “The Killing Zone” in Oakland, CA “There was a really big difference in how we look at something and describe it and how the people who experienced it describe it themselves.” “At twelve years old, we started visiting all kinds of churches in Oakland, right? So I've been to every church just about storefront, larger church, every one.” The experience of Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland Matthew 28:18–20 Dr. J. Alfred Smith—one of the most beloved heralded African American pastors in the United States Restlessness Youth ministry in Oakland Social justice and biblical faith The power of a pastor: “I miss your voice in the choir!” Choir for young adults The ministry of Dr. J. Alfred Smith—”God was absolutely central and primary, and the point of action that held everything together. And then you had this galaxy of every kind of life experience that was being represented, talked about, honoured, celebrated from children to all, all generations and ages, but also women.” “Pastoring was never something I wanted to do. … But what happened was life.” “She's a very dignified, prideful black mom. … And she said, ‘I don't recognize you before.'” Trailblazing as the first female assistant pastor of a major black baptist church An imaginative tour of Oakland Oakland is a tale of two cities—the hills and the flatlands Shifting the narrative about Oakland, violence, justice, and power. “I believe part of our responsibility, particularly at Allen Temple, but not just Allen Temple, as people of faith, as people who say that we are followers of the way and that we believe in Jesus—that we call power structures to account.” “Fight for a vision of the kingdom of God where there is enough for everybody.” Walter Brueggemann: “The numbness that can come with royal consciousness” Remaining connected to the epicentre of people's pain Joshua crossing the Jordan: twelve stones to build a memorial Good Samaritan on the Jericho road The history of Oakland's ups and downs Washington, DC, and the power centre of the world “There are no permanent friends. There are no permanent enemies. They're just permanent interests. … What that taught me is that the players around the table will change. As long as the interest in the centre of the table stays the same, it does not matter how the players change.” Oakland as microcosm for other urban cities “The temptation is always power.” “I try and keep the centre of the cross with the vertical and the horizontal meet before the eyes of the people in a way that they can see it, that they can grab hold to it, and they can decide how that, that's how will they, they centre and position themselves in there for the cause of the kingdom.” “What is the burden that you feel like you're primarily carrying?” “Sometimes I'm not sure even believers understand the power that exists in their sheer humanity. That there really is something that God has placed on the inside of us that when we come to some form of collected agreement—not uniformity, but just some kind of collective unity around something—that really wonderful, great, powerful things can happen.” Comparing Obama's nomination to Kamala's nomination Focusing on the needs of the people Thompson's preaching as centring the pain on a deeper centre of Jesus Christ Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

“Mac Finds His Pride” (November 7, 2018) Twelve seasons in, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stopped giving Mac the Smithers treatment and let him be gay, but it's the season thirteen finale we're talking about because it highlights Mac's sexuality without making jokes, at least for the third act. The episode received wide praise, but did it also jeopardize the show's comedic tone in order to make a statement? Thanks to Dr. Alfred Smith, David Russell and Ally J. Shivka for offering their interpretations of the narrative in the dance sequence! Watch the dance sequence in question here. Read Vulture's analysis of “Mac Finds His Pride.”

What is the New Deal? During the election of 1932, Americans did not know what it was, but they knew that they wanted whatever it was. Dr. James Kimble's research is on the history of this term from the time Franklin Delano Roosevelt first spoke it in the summer of 1932 to when he took office in March of 1933. Throughout the campaign season, FDR never defined what the “New Deal” meant and let the voters decide what it meant for themselves. One of the main ways he accomplished this was by reaching out to the electorate through the still new technology of radio, where he proved to be an effective communicator. At the same time, Chairman of the DNC, John J. Raskob and prior supporter of Democratic candidate for the presidency Alfred Smith, became a critic of FDR and the New Deal. Kimble's research traces the origins of the term New Deal and Raskob's evolving criticism of it and FDR. Dr. Kimble is a Professor of Communication and Arts at Seton Hall University and is a historian of domestic propaganda with an interest in FDR's presidency. While at Hagley he used the Ernest Dichter who collected listenership data for FDR's radio addresses and John J. Raskob papers for his evolving views on FDR and the Democratic party. His forthcoming book on this project will be published in 2025 or 2026. Dr. Kimble received support from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society at the Hagley Museum & Library.

David Dastmalchian is a mainstay in comics movies and tv shows. You've seen him in Dune, Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Suicide Squad, The Dark Knight... it's a long list. Recently he has turned his creative energy into a new project with Dark Horse Comics called Count Crowley, an homage to creature features in 80s cinema. I got a chance to catch up with David to hear about some of his inspirations behind the project, his own reflections on addiction through the lens of the main character in the book, and even worked in an acting related question about my hometown of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. David was one of the most enthusiastic and warm guests I've ever hosted on the show. Check it out and make sure to pick up both collected volumes of Count Crowley in stores now. A big thank you goes out to Alfred Smith for his excellent yeti voice work in today's episode. Rootless Coffee collaboration link Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Police arrested 36 year old Chaz Trammell and 39 year old Alfred Smith and charged them both with felony possession of narcotics. A search of the room and their vehicle turned up approximately 24 grams of Fentanyl, approximately 17 grams of marijuana, a 9mm firearm and approximately $3,500 in cash. If anyone has any information regarding this case, please contact Investigator Stagner at 912-554-7556 or silent witness at 912-264-1333. Frat Beach, the Friday afternoon beach party that precedes the annual Georgia / Florida game at the Coast Guard Station on St. Simons, may be coming to an end this year. The County Commission discussed the event during Tuesday's work session and the tone of the conversation was not in favor of allowing it to proceed this year. In recent years the county has provided on-site safety and medical personnel but that may be over. Several years ago the University of Georgia administration made it clear that they did not want the college's name associated with the beach party. Commissioner Bill Brunson said one of the issues this year was the spike in COVID cases could cause problems. He was concerned about sending county staff to work in those conditions. He added that the Ahmaud Arbery trial would be in progress, so many of the county's police officers, along with the Sheriff's officers would be tied up providing security for that. In addition, Brunson noted that both the police department and Sheriff's office are already shorthanded. Sheriff Neal Jump spoke to theh commission agreeing with Brunson. Jump said the Arbery trial would proceed as scheduled, adding that if necessary he would contact sheriffs in surrounding counties for assistance with manpower. Convention and Visitor's Bureau Director Scott McQuade said it was a big weekend for the local hospitality industry but the owners he had spoken to understood the difficult position the commission was in this regarding Frat Beach. Since Island Commissioner Cap Fendig was absent from the work session, the commission agreed to add it to the agenda for tonight's meeting for more discussion. Also during Tuesday's county work session the county commission got an update on a Community Development Block Grant for the local Second Harvest Food Bank project. According to the Chief Executive of America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, Mary Jane Crouch, the organization received a $2 million federal Block grant for the expansion of their Brunswick facility. They have outgrown their current 5,000 sq. ft. space on Indigo Dr. and, with assistance from the Golden Isles Development Authority, have located a new 53,000 sq. ft. building on Sidney Lanier Dr. The current tenant in the larger building is also looking to relocate with help from the Development Authority. Crouch, said Second Harvest was required to raise $1 in matching funds and have a pledge of $500,000 from Sea Island and The Anschutz Foundation. They will raise the other $500,000 from the community. Expanding the Brunswick facility will allow Second Harvest to build capacity and provide food assistance to even more of those in need in Glynn County. Crouch said there are 19,054 children in Glynn County and 64% of students enrolled in local schools are eligible for free or reduced meals. Last night the Brunswick City Commission agreed to ask the Glynn County Board of Commissioners to sign a joint resolution to strongly encourage the community to get the Covid vaccination. Also for the first time the city will participate in Georgia Cities Week sponsored by the Georgia Municipal Association. The celebration is planned for October 3 through the 9th. Planned activities include art and essay contests, a scavenger hunt, a walking tour of downtown and a city wide cleanup. The County Commission meets at 6:00 tonight in the historic courthouse. Among other things they will consider enacting a moratorium barring the acceptance and / or receipt of applications for sign permits and building permits for signs for unzoned railroad right-of-way until February 3, 2022. The county will also hold a public hearing on the millage rate. Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA

What does it mean to have faith -- and how far can it carry you during dark periods in your life? My guest is the Rev. Alfred Smith of Macedonia Baptist Church in Ansonia. He said it was his faith that kept him strong during a year in which his left foot was amputated, family members died from COVID-19 and between the surgery and recovery time, spent 117 days alone due to the virus. He said life doesn't play fair but faith will pull you through.

From Lora Dailey going out of her way to perfect a French accent for a story, to Jess Ayers reading so well, I got literal goosebumps while listening.

In part 2 of my conversation with Puma Salad, known off trail as Alfred Smith, we dig into the origins of his trail name and the all joys of cowboy camping. In a little reality check, he talks about what it means to take months off to hike and the scariness when the journey comes to an end... and you have to answer the question "what comes next".

Puma Salad, known off trail as Alfred Smith, first thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. Returning in 2018, a planned thru hike with his girlfriend became a spiritual journey of self reflection. In this episode we talk about that journey, the routines & systems of the trail & the importance of “safety meetings”. Just listen, you’ll get it.
