Send us a textGreatness to God is measured not by a country's advances in buildings and technology but by how those are treated with the least. In Dr. King's final Sunday sermon at Washington National Cathedral, he addressed a challenge of the day that remains true in the present: if we claim blessing, are we ready for God's accountability? That question us into the bracing clarity of Matthew 25, where Jesus sets the bar with the hungry, the unhoused, and the stranger.In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation centered on Dr. King's final Sunday sermon, given four days before his murder. Together, they explore why prophets are often met with resistance. Instead of condemning, true prophetic work loves a nation enough to critique it. Followers of Jesus embedded in institutions can bend systems toward mercy through fair wages, humane services, restorative practices, and transparent accountability. A nation's greatness, then, becomes directional: power constrained by love, budgets aligned with neighbor-care, and policies that honor the image of God in every person.

This week, a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz had a rare and invaluable conversation with Dr. Clarence B. Jones, a pivotal figure in American history. Dr. Jones, who served as speechwriter, attorney, and advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., shared his personal insights on race, inclusion, and the lasting legacy of the civil rights movement in 2025.In their wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Jones reflected on the timeless wisdom of Dr. King, quoting one of the most enduring lines from the "I Have a Dream" speech: “I want my four children to be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.”“That, to me, is still, that's the template,” Dr. Jones said. “That still remains a template.”Their conversation covered critical themes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, delving into the history of the movement, the lessons from "Letter from Birmingham Jail," and the profound impact Dr. King's work continues to have today.It was a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who not only witnessed history but played a key role in shaping it, and we hope you enjoy it. About Dr. Clarence B. Jones:Dr. Clarence B. Jones served as legal counsel, strategic advisor, and draft speechwriter to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1960 until Dr. King's assassination in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968. During that time, Dr. King depended on Dr. Jones for legal and strategic counsel and assistance in drafting landmark speeches and public testimony. He is credited with writing the first seven paragraphs of the iconic I Have A Dream speech. Across the decades following Dr. King's assassination in 1968, Clarence B. Jones worked to carry on Dr. King's legacy, to continue the nonviolent struggle for social justice, voting rights, and democratic inclusion. He is the founder of the Dr. Clarence B. Jones Institute for Social Advocacy, and also serves as the Founding Director Emeritus of the Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice at the University of San Francisco. Dr. Jones is also the author of three acclaimed books "What Would Martin Say?", "Behind the Dream: The Making of the Speech that Transformed a Nation" and "Last of the Lions". Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zBen on X:  http://twitter.com/bhorowitzFind a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Send us a textWhat if our fixation on political leaders hinders our spiritual and communal growth? As we reflect on the intersection of Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th president and Dr. King's birthday, we are invited to recognize the potential dangers of idolization and hypercriticism that can lead to societal paralysis.In this conversation, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about shared purpose and finding middle ground across party lines. They discuss Dr. King's approach - always about the work and never about the politician. As Christians, finding ways to address real problems like poverty and education must always outweigh the distaste for a political party or personality.

His illustrious career includes 3,000 hits, four batting crowns, 12 Gold Glove Awards, the 1966 National League MVP title, 15 All-Star appearances, and two World Series championships. Beyond his athletic achievements, Clemente was a humanitarian icon, dedicated to helping those in need.

Dr. King dared to dream in the greatness of our nation. He defined that greatness in the "I Have a Dream" speech. It has to do with justice, freedom, and dignity for all people. He dared to believe that we are great enough be human family.In this episode days before Dr. King's birthday, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about the profound teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bishop Wright guides us through the depth of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, moving past its renowned finale to unearth the call for systemic change and justice within. King's deep-seated love for his country and unshakable dedication to The Gospel formed the cornerstone of his message, transcending the battle for civil rights to craft a blueprint for a most just world house.Support the show

“We are naive if we think that we don't have to fight for [our democracy] every single day,” says Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), in this week's WITHpod. Given how imperiled our democracy is, we thought it would be good to talk about the nation's democratic health with someone who has navigated some of the most difficult terrain in American politics. Sen. Warnock, who defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker, is the author of numerous books, including his latest titled, “A Way Out of No Way: A Memoir of Truth, Transformation, and the New American Story.” He's also the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. He joins WITHpod to discuss his concerns about the state of our democracy, his efforts to renew the fight for voting rights, the most surprising part of being a U.S. senator, what he thinks the worst part of his job is and more.

Recently we rebroadcast our show with famous brain expert and outspoken vaccine critic, Dr. Andrew Moulden. The response was enthusiastic. So we had the idea, why not do some more shows with people who are no longer physically alive? After all, we should not rule out inviting great guests onto Lost Arts Radio, just because of a minor issue with their physical bodies. Once I realized the extent of this huge untapped reservoir of incredible guests for the show, I started exploring the logistics of getting this done. Conclusion: it's a ton of work for me and for Doug. But the resulting shows can be exciting, so we decided to do another one of them. For Sunday's show, I am actually very excited to be able to announce our guest will be the Reverend, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (www.thekingcenter.org) Yes, we have a few challenging details to take care of, like going back in time, 50 years to be exact. But with the available electronic technology and Doug's expertise in audio and video work for music professionals and others worldwide (see what he does at www.diamondiscaudio.com), I figured, how hard could it be. Well, pretty hard actually, but we got it done. I can't give you Dr. King's current website like we do with most guests, he told me he had never heard of the "internet," but try to be there for this show if you can. I think you will find our discussion relevant, even though it comes to us out of the past. On the radio show website (www.lostartsradio.com) you will find links to the radio show archives, articles/news, educational resources, announcements, and more.

Today's Reading: Joshua 1; Psalm 120-122; Isaiah 61; Matthew 9 Today on this episode, We talk about the mission statement of Jesus and the implications of it on our own.

This episode is in response to the recent hate crime and killing of ten black people in a grocery store in Buffalo, New York that took place on May 14, 2022. In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright reflect on a speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Cornell College in Iowa on October 15, 1962. A lecture in which Dr. King addresses the hate we have for one another. A hate because of fear. A fear because we don't know one another. Not knowing one another because we fail to communicate. Failing to communicate because we are separated. These are tough conversations, and we invite you to both listen, share, and be in conversation with people about these very things. Because these are hard but holy conversations. 

Black History Month is much more than a month in February, and as many are out to erase what helped shape Black Americans, the conversation is needed more than ever.

Before you rush to Google on Monday to search for a quote that you can post by Dr. King, I would ask that you look at the totality of his life and message and hold it up to the way you live your life. Do not merely quote words that make you feel good and do not challenge your thinking and actions. Do not tweet quotes that are nothing more than a Twitter performance when in actuality you have done nothing to support the causes that impact Black America. Ask yourself am I advancing his dream or contributing to the nightmare.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Spencer presents Dr. King's "Triplets Of Evil" speech. He also offers some thoughts along the way; almost more because he felt like just uploading the speech & praising it for 5 minutes was too much like plagairism. Spencer agrees with Dr. King that racism, materialism & militarism are America's main obstacles to The Promised Land.

On this observance of Dr. King's life, I wanted to dedicate a show to his honor. In this age of increasingly open and virulent racism, the need to confront the injustice of said racism is obvious. This episode will not present the popular 'Disneyfied' version of King, which constantly reruns the "i Have A Dream" speech, but only grants attention to the surface meaning, while casting aside the darker aspects of American racism. Many Americans fail to see that racism here is on a par with Nazism during the ascendancy of Hitler's Third Reich. In fact, Hitler borrowed many ideas for the infamous Nuremberg laws from the Jim Crow laws of the American south. So, in honor of Dr. King, I will read the 'Letters From A Birmingham Jail" speech.   In this context, we must realize that it is not enough to claim that we are not racist. We must be anti-racism. There is no middle ground. I do this to honor my brothers and sisters of color and send them my love and loyalty in this fight.  Jeanine

On Monday, January 17th, 2022, we celebrate the 93rd birthday of The Preacher King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. What made Dr. King who he is as a preacher? What are some insights on who Dr. King is as a prophet? In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with special guest Dr. Richard Lischer, author of The Preacher King. They discuss the legacy of Dr. King, how he mobilized people to address tough problems, his preachings, and important moments in his life as a prophet. Listen in for the full conversation. Dr. Richard Lischer is professor emeritus at Duke Divinity School, where he has spent his entire teaching career. Before coming to Duke, he served as pastor of Lutheran churches in Illinois and Virginia. He is the author or editor of fifteen books and has contributed chapters in many others. His reviews and essays appear regularly in The Christian Century. Although an academic and a preacher, his work in memoir has received public attention—including Open Secrets: A Memoir of Faith and Discovery (Doubleday) and Stations of the Heart: Parting with a Son (Knopf). OUP has recently released the new, updated edition of his prize-winning book, The Preacher King: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Word that Moved America. 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is less than a week away, and I couldn't let this important day pass without another episode.   It's actually my THIRD episode about Martin Luther King Jr., and I feel like this episode shows our journey as a community and my journey as an anti-racist (both personally and as an educator).   With each episode, the content has gotten more and more radical — just like the journey that Dr. Cornel West takes us on in the incredible book “The Radical King.”   The first episode — Season 3, Episode 10: “The Untold Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” — was about nonviolence and loving accountability.   The second episode —  Season 3, Episode 11: “The One Thing I Wish You Knew About Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” — was about the fact that racism and Dr. King's assassination have more to do with money and power than skin color.   And in this third episode — “Stop Using MLK to Justify Racism” — we are going to dispel 3 myths that people have perpetuated about Dr. King to justify their racism.   Those 3 myths are: Dr. King would have been against riots Dr. King would have been anti-Critical Race Theory Dr. King's dream has already been achieved   I hope by the end of this episode you feel like you have a better understanding of what this incredible man really felt about each of these issues, and I hope you feel inspired to learn more about his teachings yourself.  Bite-sized Black History  Bite-sized Black History is a program that empowers you to teach the little ones you love about brilliant Black Americans who have been largely overlooked by our history books.

Do you know what to do to have a ‘Good Day’? Have you considered how much you miss in a day? How many people do you think you walk by daily without even a thought of what their struggle is, or if they have a need you can meet? Do you feel the need to GO on a mission trip, a working vacation or anytime of a servantministry type of excursion? Are you Aware of being unaware? Our Actions Matter. Am I living my life making an impact on others? When Dr. MLK Jr recited his, “I have a Dream’ speech, he said one of his most quoted lines and how our actions matter. He said, “I have a dream that one day my 4 little children will live in a Nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. Dr. King said to judge us by our actions, our choices- the content of our character, not by our ‘NON-CHOICES’- the color of our skin. In the Spiritual realm we know that some of us ‘water, some of us plant, some of us prune…’; but all of us get to participate, if we are willing to participate. Are you living your life like it matters, by making your actions matter? Do you see helping others as a means to your successful life? It is time to consider the question, “Am I living my life, making an impact on others’ lives?? Today on Living Life Like It Matters, it’s ‘Story time with Mr. Black’. Today Mr. Black will share a story that shows that our ACTIONS MATTER. If you enjoy the show, please tell a friend or two, or three about it.

We pile so much on top of the Love and we are held back from our Greatness by unforgiveness. True forgiveness is letting go and you don't necessarily have to put yourself in a position to be hurt again.  Learn from it and Move from it. Learning from it and Forgiving are part of Healing.

GROW.   Greatness Reached over Oppression through Wisdom.Simply a conversation.  More on me and the Movement.We cannot Right the Wrongs until we Write the Wrongs.  That means we need to start writing legislation for Genuine Equality; pass  cash bail reforms, police reforms, root the the Klan out of the police department, police brutality, prisons, mental health services etc.  Issues that affect the African Community that need to be addressed on our way to Genuine Equality.  We are on a journey less traveled.  They thought they ended it when they killed Dr. King.  They thought the Movement was over for Genuine Equality and his dream of a beloved Community for his people.There was a Rose.No, God picked a Rose and watched her as she GROWed in his Garden.  It is Time to Rise from this Oppression,

GROW.  Greatness Reached over Oppression through WisdomNever before in history has a modern-day plague struck so much devastation in this Country as the Coronavirus has.  Exacerbating the issue;  the  incompetence of the leadership of the former Administration.   The Democratic Governors were told that the President of The United States did not represent them and held off much needed aid and resources as long as he could.    Childish retaliation and a complete disregard for human life are the example set forth to Republican leadership from Trump.   That is precisely why Senator Cruz felt it was just fine to go on vacation while the people of Texas starved, froze and died. As tragic as the deaths in New York are and around the World, instead of pointing fingers let's learn from this and come together in Love.   We Each can Do our part and fix it and together for our future Generations to come.Let's GROW.*Ted Cruz is the Senator

“Hello DarlingToday I find myself a long way from you and the children. I am at the State Prison in Reidsville which is about 230 miles from Atlanta. They picked me up from the DeKalb jail about 4 ’0 clock this morning. I know this whole experience is very difficult for you to adjust to, especially in your condition of pregnancy, but as I said to you yesterday this is the cross that we must bear for the freedom of our people. So I urge you to be strong in faith, and this will in turn strengthen me. I can assure you that it is extremely difficult for me to think of being away from you and my Yoki and Marty for four months, but I am asking God hourly to give me the power of endurance. I have the faith to believe that this excessive suffering that is now coming to our family will in some little way serve to make Atlanta a better city, Georgia a better state, and America a better country. Just how I do not yet know, but I have faith to believe it will. If I am correct then our suffering is not in vain.” An excerpt from a letter from Dr. King to Coretta KingOctober 26, 1960Dr. King is a person. A person with gifts and talents that offers them. He is a husband and a dad. Dr. King is most useful when we think of him in this way. When you read this letter to his darling Coretta, can't you feel in the words the husband, father, and person? In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright speak to this letter, and why Dr. King said yes to what had to be done for his children and for all black and brown children to experience a better America than he experienced. Happy birthday, Dr, King.
