In this episode of The Brief Dive, I sit down with Nuhamin and Mariamawit, two George Mason University students who serve on the Executive Board of the Ethiopian & Eritrean Student Association (EESA). We get real about what it feels like to lose your culture in college, how to stay grounded in your identity, and what keeps us connected to our roots when everything around us is pulling us in a different direction.But of course… we also got very sidetracked — in the best way possible.We talked about Habesha men slander, why some Habeshas try to “act Black,” crazy travel stories, friendship dynamics, and the hilarious realities of being East African in the U.S.Both guests are also TikTok creators, so we dive into what it really takes to go viral, why they post the type of content they do, and how they balance school, clubs, culture, and the pressure of social media.If you're Habesha, a first-gen student, a creator, or someone who feels like you're trying to keep your identity alive in a world of distractions — this episode is for you.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1INTRO MUSIC: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valmaddoxaero?igsh=MWJraWRoYmE4aXN6Mg==TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@val_maddox_music?_t=ZT-8yRqOSfTGFj&_r=1Both Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@marynuha?_r=1&_t=ZT-9279pSbdVJWNuhamin's Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@nuhamin_k?_r=1&_t=ZT-9278yUNZBDZMariamawit's Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@06maryy06?_r=1&_t=ZT-9278vR8keJDTimestamps:00:00 Preview0:24 Intro3:52 "Who's Most Likely To...?"7:20 Why They Joined EESA at GMU?8:01 How These Two First Met11:18 Is Your Content A Job To You?13:56 Their Favorite TikTok They've Ever Made17:11 Balancing School, Content, & EESA?20:04 Keeping Eachother Accountable24:06 Choosing Their Career Paths?29:38 Friendships Outside The Habesha Community37:40 Why Some Habeshas Try To "Act Black"?46:30 Roller Coasters47:56 How Their Friendship Affected Them49:38 Crazy Travel Stories53:00 Have They Lost Their Culture?56:40 Habesha Community And Their Content?1:06:43 Is This Generation Too Sensitive?1:11:44 Where Did Habesha Men Slander Come From?!1:16:55 Marry Men Back Home vs. Marrying Here?1:20:03 What Helps Them Preserve Their Culture?1:22:40 Showing Affection In Habesha Friendships/Families1:24:57 Last Piece Of Advice1:28:10 Dive & Deliver1:34:39 Outro
In this episode, we speak with Mustafa, Bairbre and Louise about the treatment of Sudanese refugees in Greece. Mustafa tells us about the revolution and ongoing proxy war in Sudan. He'll also tell us why he had to flee the country, and the Kafkaesque situation he found himself in after seeking asylum in Greece. Louise and Bairbre tell us more about the situation for people on the move in Greece, how refugees (including children) are being criminalised and sentenced to decades (and sometimes hundreds of years!) in prison for allegedly captaining a boat across the sea or driving a car across the border. We'll also hear about the situation inside Greece's migrant detention camps, and how the solidarity groups Mataris Sudan Solidarity Committee and 50 Out Of Many are organising with criminalised and imprisoned Sudanese refugees. ---Support The Civil Fleet Podcast--- ko-fi.com/civilfleet ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social Instagram: thecivilfleet info@civilfleet.com civilfleet.com ---Show notes--- Don't know much about the conflict in Sudan?

The mission field has come to us, but are we paying attention?Samuel Teka from Diaspora Network talks about the awakening happening as North American churches realize immigrant communities aren't just people to serve, but partners who have something vital to teach us about Kingdom community.Sam shares his story as a second-generation Ethiopian-American navigating the cultural gap between generations, and why that "in-between space" is exactly where God is raising up bridge-builders. You'll hear about Ethiopian coffee culture, why intentionality matters, and how missionaries from the East are now coming West.This isn't about politics—it's about the Revelation 7:9 vision becoming reality right in our neighborhoods and it's about loving our neighbor as Jesus called us to do.Learn more about Diaspora Network: diaspora-network.comSubscribe at innovativechurchleaders.org for more leadership encouragement!Links:Website: https://innovativechurchleaders.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InnovativeChurchLeaders Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InnovativeChurchLeaders/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/catalyzingcommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innovativechurchleaders LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/innovative-church-leaders/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@innovativechurchleaders Eric Bryant Website: https://ericbryant.org/ Eric Bryant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericmichaelbryant/ Eric Bryant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericbryant/ Eric Bryant LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-bryant-397003172/ Eric Bryant X: https://x.com/ericbryant Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-post-christian-podcast/id1509588357 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZeQIrzr2tCMyq1VdwxGNn

Is your home a peaceful and nourishing place - what can you do to make it a more inviting environment? The change you want…starts with YOU! In Jeremiah 13 there is a profound question - can an Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? The idea is how can a person change who they are - and this is the idea that God offers you a new life, to be born again, transformed into a new creature in Christ - all amazing concepts that begin with accepting the free gift of God's grace by faith made available through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! From there…get plugged into a good Bible-teaching church and SERVE others - and I believe that your environment will begin to change…as you do!

Daily Dose of Hope December 1, 2025 Scripture - Acts 8:26-40 Prayer: Holy and Merciful God, Thank you for a new day and a new week and thank you that your mercies are new every morning. As we enter into this first week of Advent, help us be aware of your presence in a new way, Lord. And right now, help us gather our scattered thoughts and focus on you and your Word. In these next few moments of silence, help us be still and know that you are God...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are currently walking through the book of Acts. Today, we finish up Acts 8. Today's reading finds us with Philip. The Holy Spirit tells him to head down the road to Gaza and when he does, he encounters an Ethiopian eunuch reading the book of Isaiah. Philip knows this is his purpose and this is a beautiful opening that God has provided. He does not hesitate. Philip asks the Ethiopian if he understands what he is reading; the man responds, "How can I unless someone explains it to me?" Okay, perfect opening. Philip takes the opportunity to explain how the prophecy points to Jesus. He shares the Gospel and the man believes and is baptized. I want to reiterate a point here. Philip does not hesitate. He sees an opening and he takes it. Again, we need to think of our own circumstances. How often do we have an opening or we feel the nudge to share about Jesus and we chicken out? How often do we hesitate? What are we afraid of? Upon reflection, there are quite a few things we can learn from Philip's experience: ---There are times in which we may appear to be traveling on a desert road but God can still give you opening to share your faith with someone else. Please hear me. Even when we go through challenges and grief, God still gives us opportunities to witness to his goodness. How have you experienced this? · ----Start with a question. Philip just asked a question. He didn't give the Ethiopian man a long theological dissertation. He didn't wow the man with all his religious knowledge. No, not at all. Philip asked a question, which led to an opening to share about Scripture. · ----Use Scripture. Point to the Gospel message in the Bible. Scripture speaks for itself. · ----Stick to the Good News. Stay away from politics. Stay away from the side conversations. Just focus on Jesus and what his death and resurrection mean for us. · -----Ask for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to when there is an opportunity and then to guide your words and actions. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

From Addis to the Barbican and back again, this episode dives into the sound-world shaped by Mulatu Astatke — the father of Ethio jazz. With Mulatu having recently completed his farewell tour, Steve goes back to a long, previously-unreleased interview he recorded with him during the making of Hackney Colliery Band's Collaborations: Volume One. What emerges is a portrait of a true pioneer: a composer trained in London and at Berklee, a collaborator with Duke Ellington, and the architect of a style heard across film soundtracks, samples and stages worldwide.Expect discussions of Ethio jazz's roots in traditional modes and tribal instruments; a journey through pentatonic and diminished scales; and Mulatu's deep reflections on African musical heritage and collaboration. There's even a live extract of Derashe from HCB's Barbican show — the tune he discusses in the interview.In this episode:• How Mulatu fused Ethiopian pentatonic traditions with jazz harmony and improvisation.• Why some Ethiopian tribes use diminished (whole–half) scales, and how that changes the emotional palette.• The story of Duke Ellington's Jazz Ambassadors tour — and how Ellington ended up performing one of Mulatu's arrangements in Addis.• The embilta, washint and other Ethiopian wind instruments that parallel trumpets, trombones and baritone sax.• The link between African “bush” instruments, mbira/“African piano” traditions, and Western harmonic thinking.• A rare 2018 interview captured at Livingston Studios during the HCB/Mulatu recording sessions.• A live performance of Derashe from the Barbican, featuring Hackney Colliery Band and Mulatu Astatke.Also in this episode, Steve welcomes listeners from the New Scientist Podcast and explores the science–music crossover behind shell acoustics, underwater sound, and the physics of musical evolution. Plus a reminder that the new Origin of the Pieces website now includes full transcripts, an interactive world-map archive of every episode, and a growing library of extras.And don't miss the upcoming Wilton's Music Hall shows on 24th January 2026, including the first ever Origin KIDS matinee at 2pm and the evening performance at 7pm.

Share a commentWhat if the timeline of Abraham's life overturns everything you thought about how God saves? We walk through Romans 4, Galatians 3, and Genesis to show why Abraham was counted righteous long before he received any covenant sign—and why that changes how we think about faith, ritual, and belonging. By contrasting Abraham and David—both undeniably flawed—we spotlight Paul's central claim: justification is God's gift, not a reward for a moral record. Grace is credited through faith, not sealed by ancestry or secured by law.From there, we tackle a common confusion: the role of signs. Circumcision was a sign and a seal, like a wedding ring—it points to a deeper covenant but doesn't create it. That distinction matters today when outward practices can eclipse inward reality. We draw a straight line from Abraham's seal to ours: the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers as heaven's official pledge and marks us as citizens of a better country. This lens reframes identity. Abraham is called the father of all who believe, not because faith follows bloodlines, but because trust in God's promise makes a family that crosses cultures and languages.We also explore how faith waits. Abraham wandered the promised land while owning only a gravesite, trusting a future he couldn't yet touch. That same resilient trust carries us now—we believe the promised King and the coming kingdom, even when circumstances lag behind. Along the way, we trace fellow travelers in Abraham's footsteps: Rahab, Ruth, the Magi, the Ethiopian, Cornelius, and more—people who heard, believed, and moved toward God's promise.If you've ever wondered whether you've confused the sign for the substance, or if your background could ever be enough, this conversation calls you back to the core: Christ's finished work credited to those who believe.

The Meaning of the Grind: Sara talks about what the "grind" means to her specifically at this chapter in her life, and her upcoming book, For the Love of the Grind. Rebounding: Sara shares her advice for moving on from big disappointments, including "slamming a bunch of coffee" and setting a new goal. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Resilience and Perseverance "I want to be good period, not just good for my age." "What you speak over yourself is powerful."

I was like, I want them to be like keep their Ethiopian toughness." "When you're happier, you run better." On Identity and Self-Worth "You have to really have a love for the process, and an excitement to just continue to believe in what you're doing that holds you through all of it."

Acts 8:26-40 demonstrates that gospel movements flourish when believers prioritize divine appointments over human logic, as Philip left crowds for one seeking soul on a desert road. The Ethiopian official, returning from worship yet still searching, found answers when Philip explained how the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 was Jesus. This encounter sparked the gospel's spread to Africa, proving that investing in one person's spiritual journey can impact entire continents for generations.

Vallely's new book, Live Aid: The Definitive 40-Year Story from Pop and Poverty to Politics and Power, chronicles the journey from the 1984–85 Ethiopian famine and the iconic 1985 Live Aid concert through four decades of activism against global poverty.

How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
