This Sunday Worship I captured Rev. Howard J. Wesley from Alfred Street Baptist Church was a Guest Preacher at Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel.  His sermon was about the History of the King James version of the Bible. 

I captured some folks from Social Media on their research about the History of the King James Bible version.  Take a listen to Rankin Memorial Chapel Guest Preacher Rev. Howard Wesley from Alfred Street Baptist Church who preached on it too.  SUNDAY WORSHIP YOUTUBE FEATURED EPISODE

I share the Guest Pastor from Rankin Memorial Chapel, Reverend Howard Wesley from Alfred Street Baptist Church who preached about the Slaves and our History.

Rev. Dr. Sam-Peal and his staff, and Dr. Belinda Davis, member of Alfred Street Baptist Church in Virginia share what they feel are the benefits of cross-cultural and global partnerships.

Check out the video of this interview here! Two groups of people face the perilous path called reentry: astronauts and inmates.  Our guest today is Carla Anderson, a reentry coordinator for a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Through her impactful work, Carla helps inmates to rise above societal prejudice, return to their families, and overcome the difficulties of starting over as they reenter the world after their release from prison. Inmates may not be reentering from the silent and cold vacuum of space, but an inmate's reentry is not all that different from that of an astronaut. In addition to her work as a reentry coordinator, Carla also ministers to inmates as co-vice president of the Jail and Prison Ministry of Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA., serves as Justice Ambassador with Prison Fellowship headquartered in Lansdowne, VA, and speaks as a voice of inmates to legislators about prison policy, process, and implementation. Carla now resides in Frederick County, VA with her life partner, Harold, and their rescue dog, Cardi. One in twenty Americans do time. Whether you know someone who's been to prison or you've already been on Carla's and Toby's side of entering into prison, we hope you find solidarity and hope in today's Fierce Conversation with Toby.

Updated: 8:33 a.m. It's a Sunday morning at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Pastor Elijah McDavid III is preaching to the congregation. The rows are nearly full with several dozen churchgoers. Above the pulpit hangs three portraits of a Black Jesus and banners with each letter of the word — Rhythm — hang across the ceiling. They represent the traditions of its primarily African American congregation. When McDavid speaks, all eyes are on him as members of the church hang onto every word. On this Sunday morning his sermon is based on the message “Let Your Life Speak.” He's preaching from the book of James and says it can be a little direct. “At some point it may sound like I'm judging you. But I'm not singling you out, I'm trying to help all of us out. I need these five chapters of wisdom just as much as anybody here,” McDavid said. The congregation cheered. At 30, McDavid may be young for a senior pastor, but he has deep roots in the Black church. Originally from Arlington, Va., his grandfather was a pastor and civil rights leader in South Carolina for over 50 years — who battled segregation and helped integrate schools. McDavid grew up hearing how his grandfather helped transform his community and it continues to inspire him to this day.

Stephen Maturen for MPR News Senior pastor Elijah McDavid III speaks during a service at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. “It's helping folks to imagine what a better world can look like. At the end of the day we are an imaginative people, we are a creative people and we're always believing that God has something better than what we're currently living in and experiencing,” McDavid said. “It's being able to kind of paint that tapestry and visualize what this world can become.” McDavid started out serving as assistant pastor at Alfred Street Baptist Church, one of the oldest Black churches in Alexandria, Virginia. A few years ago he got a call from an old family friend who thought he'd be a good fit to continue the work of the retiring pastor at Fellowship. That's when he moved to Minnesota to run a church on his own for the first time. Fellowship is located in a section of Minneapolis which contains some of the highest concentrations of African Americans. These north side neighborhoods also contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty and economic underdevelopment compared to other parts of the city. Black churches like Fellowship have long played a crucial role in advocating for the freedoms and rights of African Americans. And McDavid doesn't shy away from talking about issues that impact residents of the north side neighborhoods which surround the church. But he also says the church is taking action to help the community.

And members of the community say they like McDavid's style. Church trustee Larry Suarez has been attending Fellowship for over 20 years.  Suarez, who is in his 70s, says McDavid impressed him from the start. “The first time I heard him I said, ‘that is the guy.' He teaches, he preaches and he pastors. And his arms are open, which makes this church open,” Suarez said. “That is so important, because you want people to look at Fellowship and know that I can go and I'm welcome and I'll be treated well.” Younger churchgoers are also impressed. Stephen Maturen for MPR News Members of the FMBC Youth Choir perform during a service at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church on Oct. 16 in Minneapolis. Mackenzie Jones has been going to Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church since she was six years old. Now in her mid 20s, she says continuing to come to Fellowship and stay connected with those who watched her grow up has maintained a sense of stability in her life. She's glad to see more young people join the church since McDavid started as pastor. And it's something that makes Jones excited about coming to church each week. “It's very easy to connect with him and he is clearly an intellect just through his sermons,” Jones said. “He keeps it very real, which is something that I like. I like someone who's direct.” For McDavid, cultivating community is one of the most rewarding parts of leading a church. “This world can be so traumatic, so violent six days a week, and one day a week you get a chance to come in here and find a place of refuge and peace. To be affirmed and loved by others in your community,” McDavid said. “Some who you know well, others who you don't know. But we foster these deep meaningful relationships here and those carry generational bonds.” Gallery Stephen Maturen for MPR News Senior pastor Elijah McDavid III greets parishioners after a service Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church on Oct. 16 in Minneapolis.

McDavid's style of relating to his community is just one of many reasons church goers come back week after week. As Fellowship continues to grow, McDavid loves to see new congregation members walk though its doors. He hopes to continue creating a refuge for community members and to keep the longstanding Black tradition going for generations to come.

"From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for the times we as a body of God have hurt, manipulated, deceived, and judged you. There's nothing that I or anyone can do to take the hurt away or turn back the hands of time. However, with all sincerity of heart, I apologize. The actions of certain members of the church are not true reflections of Christ and what Christ demands of us." Christians are supposed to say it but more importantly mean it when church hurt happens. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Byrdy Lynn the author of "Through the Storm of Early Trauma: Healing and Overcoming" is Dr. Brad Miller's guest on Episode 143 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast. Byrdy Lynn goes into great depth in this conversation about the traumatic events in her early childhood, which led her into some dark places, and describes how she overcame and healed from these traumas to successfully speak into the lives of others similarly traumatized through her work and her book. She states in her book: “The next chapter in your life is going to be the best chapter of your life because your breakthrough of empowerment begins now.”These words end the preface and begin the reader’s journey into the life and mind of Byrdy Lynn. From a profoundly troubled childhood come unflinchingly honest stories of abuse, neglect, violence, isolation, and blatant racism—a litany of events that left the author suffering from PTSD and suicidal depression. As in any life, there are moments of brightness, but these are few and far between. Nonetheless, Through the Storm of Early Trauma is not told from a place of anger or resentment. Instead, it speaks with the voice of hope—that others who have lived such stories, and who are living those stories today, will find their own inner strength to seek the help they need and deserve. Byrdy Lynn is the proud mother of one son, who is attending college for industrial engineering. She is also CEO and Founder of REAME LLC, a real estate technology company, and Byrdylynn, a publishing company. Byrdy sits on the national IREM Foundation Board and actively volunteers with the Real Estate Associate Program. She holds a BA from the University of Texas at Arlington. Byrdy enjoys entrepreneurship and strategizing new ways to make a positive difference in people’s lives. She attends Alfred Street Baptist Church virtually and has been a member since 2013.
