Dr. Anteneh Roba loves witnessing the impact his work has on patients so much that he says he “would do it until he's 100 years old if he could.” Since childhood, Dr. Roba personally battled weight issues and tried his fair share of fad diets. When he discovered how well semaglutide worked for weight loss, he was all in. Today, along with medical weight loss, he helps patients through anti-aging, sexual health, and cosmetic solutions.Dr. Roba's commitment to transforming lives extends far beyond weight loss. Earlier in his career, in an effort to offer more evidence-based treatments that focus on treating the underlying problem of sexual health, he trained with the inventor of P-shot & O-shot to bring minimally invasive treatments for improving sexual intimacy to his patients.The son of an Ethopian diplomat, Dr. Roba first came to the US when he was 2 years old. His father's work for the United Nations afforded his family unique opportunities to live and study all over the world. After attending Davidson College in North Carolina, Dr. Roba was offered a scholarship to attend medical school in Romania, where he quickly learned the language to begin his career as a doctor. He then practiced in Houston for 18 years before landing in Fairfax, Virginia.To learn more about Dr. Anteneh RobaFollow Dr. Roba on InstagramABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple. We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you're making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be. When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you're interested in. There's no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.

Cocaine! Torontonian sex-jammer Abel Tesfaye combined moody dream-pop samples with the Ethopian music that soundtracked his youth to become The Weeknd: a purveyor of glassy-eyed cum-soaked nihilistic R&B that set the indiesphere on fire in the early 10s with the ‘House of Balloons' trilogy of underground EPs. After a flailing start with 2013's flat ‘Kiss Land', he made the leap to Super Bowl-level stardom with ‘Beauty Behind The Madness' in 2015. Featuring collaborations with Max Martin, Ed Sheeran, Lana Del Ray and Kanye West, it established Tesfaye as the non-sexless non-white actually-good counterpart to Justin Timberlake's beige-fisted domination of mainstream party music. ‘Beauty Behind The Madness' is also #442 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Why is it so hard to talk to people about Jesus? Well, “Christian” is a pretty loaded term. It conjures up an association, and, unfortunately, in many cases, it's not always positive. Mention you're a Christian and instantly everything someone thinks about Christians is catapulted into the conversation and applied to you. It's easier (and less awkward) to keep our faith to ourselves.  But the gospel is good news for all people, news worth sharing with humility, gentleness, and respect. The encounter between Philip and an Ethopian eunich in Acts 8 gives us hope that sharing the good news is not only possible, but critical.

Better Read than Dead: Literature from a Left Perspective

Got a sister? Are you SURE you don’t have a sister? Pauline Hopkins's Of One Blood (1902-1903) explores this important question along with mesmerism, race, the legacy of American slavery, colonialism and imperialism in Africa, and--somehow--much more. In this episode we simply marvel at the adventures of our protagonist, doctor, anti-colonialist Indiana Jones, enemy of big cats, and king of the ancient Ethopian secret city of Telassar. This novel blew our minds, knocked our socks off, while keeping our pants secured in an upright position. Because you never know who your sister might be. We read the edition from The Givens Collection with an introduction by Deborah E. McDowell. For more on Hopkins’s amazing work check out Dana Luciano’s “Passing Shadows: Melancholic Nationality and Black Critical Publicity in Pauline E. Hopkins’s Of one Blood” in David L. Eng and David Kazanjian’s Loss: the Politics of Mourning (2002). And if you’d like to learn more about the wild world of mesmerism, we recommend Emily Ogden’s Credulity: A Cultural History of US Mesmerism (2018).

"Everyday I walk in this city, I know I walk alongside death," singer Hachalu Hundessa said just days before he was shot dead in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on 28 June. We hear how the 34-year old protest singer became the voice of the Oromo ethnic group. "He was the soundtrack of the 2018 revolution that brought change to Ethiopia" Awol Allo told RFI.   The murder of Hachalu Hundessa last Monday sent thousands of Oromo out onto the streets in protest. More than one hundred have died in the unrest. There have been protests and mourning not just in the capital Addis and elsewhere in Ethiopia, but also in Minnesota, US, where a large Oromo diaspora settled after fleeing political repression and discrimination back home. Like many Oromo artists, Hachalu could have fled, but chose to stay. Prophetically, just a week before his death, he told journalists he was well aware of the risks he was taking. "He said: ‘What I am afraid of is a meaningless death, a death that has no purpose. I'm not afraid because I have a clarity of purpose in terms of what I want to achieve'," UK-based academic and Oromo rights activist Awol Allo told RFI. Hachalu's main focus as a singer was highlighting and defending the Oromo cause and it earned him many enemies. "One of the things that makes it so complex, so painful, is the fact that Oromo is a majority group (in Ethiopia) but subordinated economically, marginalised culturally and repressed politically," Allo continued. Hachalu used "his incredible imaginative power, verbal invention and poetic expression to very ably articulate some of those issues". "It's almost impossible to think of anyone else who has used the power of art, the power of music (like he did) to push a transformative political agenda forward." Romantic and deeply political songs Hachalu began writing songs aged 17 when he was imprisoned for five years for his political activities. He released his first album Sanyii Mootii (Race of the King) in 2009, a year after leaving prison. The title track is about falling in love with an Oromo woman who is proud of her identity and prepared to die for it. His second album Waa'ee Keenya (Our Plight) came out in 2013 while he was touring the US and became a top African seller on Amazon. Soundtrack of a revolution Hachalu played a key role in the Oromo protests from 2015 to 2018 which led to the fall of the Ethiopian government. "He was one of the most important voices in the Oromo protests and ultimately forced the resignation of the then prime minister [Hailemariam Desalegn] and the appointment of the current prime minister Abiy Ahmed," Allo said. "From that point of view he was basically the soundtrack of that revolution that brought change." The soundtrack began with his first big hit Maalan Jira? (What existence is mine?) in 2015. "It's essentially a song about dispossession and the government's policy of land grab around the city of Addis Ababa," said Allo, "displacing hundreds of thousands of farmers. "What the video to the song shows is the gradual displacement and eviction, one by one, of young people who live there with their families then ultimately becoming day labourers on their own land." By 2017 the political situation was evolving and his following hit, Jira (We are here), reflected that growing sense of hope. While the song was written just before Abiy Ahmed, an Oromo, became prime minister in 2018 "the message was that ‘we have come so far, things have changed so much on the ground and this is a moment of hope'". Art and music - a repository for Oromo history Protest song has always been a part of Oromo culture. "As a community that has been historically marginalised and subordinated and denied the opportunity to receive modern education, Oromo art has always served as a repository of Oromo experiences and history", Allo explained. "So if you really want to learn about the history of the Oromo you go into these songs, songs of resistance," Allo continued. "It's in the reservoir of these songs that you find the true and authentic experience of the Oromo people. It's not in the official archives, in the history and geography books of the Ethopian state." Oromo artists make ready use of a style known as geerarsa, a kind of flow, not unlike rap, which is used to whip up an audience. "Geerarsa is a kind of free style narration of certain experiences, mainly used to mobilise people, to galvanise support for a particular cause. It's a deeply-entrenched part of our culture," Allo explained. The now legendary ‘Millenium' benefit concert Hachalu gave in Addis December 2017 for the rehabilitation of some 700,000 internally displaced Oromo shows his ability to set audiences alight. He paces the stage chanting: ‘You can no longer pin us down, we are too big, too hopeful, too resilient, too fired up'. Crying for Oromo unity Hachalu also had an extraordinary capacity to unite the huge and politically heterogenous Oromo community. "We're a very large community of 50 plus million people so you obviously have a lot of views about how people should organise and mobilise, there are differences," Allo said. "But the thing for which Hachalu is credited the most is that he's preaching unity, crying of Oromo unity. It's almost impossible right now to think of somebody who could fill his shoes."

"We’re a very large community of 50 plus million people so you obviously have a lot of views about how people should organise and mobilise, there are differences," Allo said. "But the thing for which Hachalu is credited the most is that he’s preaching unity, crying of Oromo unity. It’s almost impossible right now to think of somebody who could fill his shoes."

Reimagine Church: People of Peace   ---   The encounter between Philip and the Ethopian in Acts 8 is a profound example of God doing a unique work, though at the heart of what is taking place is a simple conversation.  To Reimagine Church we to need to rethink what it is to speak the good news of Jesus in a world desperate to know another way is possible.   ---   Acts 8:26-40 Acts 8 Acts 1:8 2 Corintians 5:11-20   ---     CH Spurgeon Be true to truth as it comes to you.  If God gives you only a common candle-light, make good use of it… Instead of complaining that you have no more light, make good use of what you have.  Many groan over their inabilities, and yet they have never gone to the end of their abilities: this is sheer hypocrisy.   CH Spurgeon Ah my brothers, you and I have need to understand the Bible.  I will suppose you read it-let me hope that I am not mistaken; but when you read it, do labour above all things, to understand it.  The book was written to be understood…. “I heard a person say once that they read through the bible six times on his knees in search of trying to understand a particular doctrine and I said ‘ Brother, that is an awkward position to read the Bible.  You should have sat upon a chair and studied it in an easy posture!  You should not have galloped through it racing over the chapters but rather read a little at a time and just try to understand it”   Rainer Maria Rilke God speaks to each of us as he makes us, Then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear. You, send out beyond your recall. Go the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame And make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand.

Since 1492 our people have been conquered by the European culture and way of life. Now when it come to our blood line and culture we’re not African. The European love to use this narrative to confused our people primarily through religion beliefs. If you want to find out who we are as Hebrew Israelites. You must study Genesis ,exodus ,and Deuteronomy for you to get a better understand of your blood line and tribes. If you’re resides in North America,Central America , South America, and Caribbean Islands you’re Hebrew Israelites excepts if your father are French, Spaniard ,English and Portuguese. If your father are European you’re not be an Hebrew Israelites unfortunately. Like the bible said the only way you can trace your blood is from your father side of the family not your mum side. You must know that and understand it. Most of us have been miseducated and misinformed throughout our lives. I don’t care how many degrees u possess. That’s why it is imperative for you to know who you are where did u come from. Your must refrain yourself from using those bywords like black, minority’s, African Americans, coloured ,Pam Africanist. You should only used one name Whenever someone ask you who are you . Just tell I am an Hebrew Israelites that’s all. You should never used those bywords. It will confuse you and others people. I have never heard an African used black to describes themselves. They usually said I am Nigerian , Ghanaian, Ethopian etc. Why because u can’t used black as person , race , tribes and languages. It’s just a colour and status in law that’s all. Especially when you engaging in World Government and finance. The term black is an cooperations not a people or culture. Those pastors have also misinterpreted the Holy Scriptures when dealing with blood and tribes. Primarily when they’re dealing with people of colour. They usually focused more on money and popularity so they can bring more people to their churches. They don’t care about explaining biblical principles and concepts. It’s time for us to wake up so our children can have a brighter future.

A good sermon will often lead to more questions than answers. This week, Rev. Peters poses this question - what happens if we take ourselves out of the center of our theology, and invite a fully new idea from the margins? Will we find God only in the places and people familiar to us, or something entirely unexpected. Teaching from the book of Acts, Rev. Peters brings the story of the Ethopian eunuch to new life.

When Philip meets an Ethopian one day on the road, he seizes the opportunity to teach and share about Jesus. The impact of that one conversation and the resulting work of the Holy Spirit not only impacted the Ethopian who was baptised but brought the message of Jesus to another place. This weeekend to we continue to celebrate the message of Jesus is one we continue to pass on and share as youth are confirmed in their faith and as they to continue to look for opportunities to share Jesus.
