Lies, insanity and spin are becoming the norm in our daily news and information diet, where one shocking story quickly supplants another. To help us wade through the muck, we speak to our media critic Jon Jeter about coverage of Iran, Tucker Carlson, the BAFTA Awards fiasco and more. And in this new era of attempted colonization and bullying by the U.S. empire, Halie Gerima’s new film ‘Black Lions, Roman Wolves’ reminds us how we liberated ourselves and can still fight fascists and win. Plus headlines.  The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people's voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.

Join Mike Goodpaster as he goes back in our Boxing time machine to look at the events that led up to and during this legendary fight.

Soul winning is a Biblical term. It is often heard in religious circles related to winning someone's soul eternally for Jesus (for example, accept Jesus, say the sinner’s prayer, be baptized, etc.). In this sermon, Brother Luke uses the account of Zacchaeus to show that the salvation in soul winning is not eternal, but a deliverance …

In the Terms of Service series, Brother Luke looks at the Lord’s instruction to follow him. When we think of following, we often think in terms of following directions. We follow directions to arrive at an accomplished end or desired outcome, whether it’s cooking, driving, or assembling something. When we reach the end of our …

In the ongoing series on the terms of discipleship, Brother Luke looks at Jesus’ commandment to follow Him. We can follow people and things for many different reasons and in many ways. In this sermon Brother Luke compares the way we ‘follow’ people on social media platforms because of our interest in what they are doing to following …

In the 2nd sermon on the terms of discipleship, Brother Luke looks at Jesus’ instruction that we are to take up our cross. The cross that Jesus carried was a symbol of many things, including being a picture of the burdens that evil men place on us for being servants of the Most High God. …

In Matthew 16, we read of Jesus Christ preaching about what is expected of his disciples. In the same way an athlete or solider may be told what is expected of them as being a part of a team or army, Jesus gives clear instruction on the terms of service for his disciples. In this …

For our first episode of 2026, we sit down with Kyle Hagler and Emil Wilbekin for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation at the intersection of Native Son, culture, and media. We begin with formative histories shaped by strong women, faith, and instinct, before tracing how both have navigated long careers defined by pivots, visibility, and cultural responsibility. From Emil's journey through magazine leadership to founding Native Son, to Kyle's perspective on power, representation, and stewardship within fashion, the conversation explores what it means to build influence without losing yourself. Together, they reflect on community beyond branding, legacy without chasing legacy, and why staying contemporary today requires clarity, courage, and a willingness to exist fully in complexity. “A lot of my success came from haphazard decision-making based on instinct, not some grand plan. I followed the moment and figured it out later.” - Kyle Hagler “Native Son was never about nightlife or crisis. It was about creating space where we could see ourselves reflected with dignity.” - Emil Wilbekin Episode Highlights: Beginnings that explain everythingEmil reflects on being adopted at birth and raised by radically cultured, spiritually grounded Black parents, while Kyle traces the imprint of a brilliant young mother who negotiated her way through systems not built for her and brought him along for the ride. Strong women as original architectureNot a theme, a fact. Both credit women with shaping their confidence, ethics, ambition, and emotional literacy long before any career took form. The professional pivot, demystifiedReinvention is not indulgence, it is survival. Emil maps his evolution across media, teaching, faith, and founding Native Son. Kyle frames adaptability as the only real form of security. Safety, redefinedKyle's assertion lands quietly but firmly: safety does not live in institutions or titles, it lives in your ability to navigate turbulence and keep moving. Spirituality as infrastructure, not ornamentEmil speaks to prayer and meditation as daily practice and social responsibility. Kyle shares a later awakening forged through loss, illness, and uncertainty, arriving at calm through surrender. A very New York origin storyThe Octagon in the 90s, Helmut Lang uniforms, early shade, and worlds colliding. Friendship eventually sealed not by proximity, but by shared obsession, precision, and care. Doing the work before knowing the impactEmil reflects on Vibe as cultural moment-making understood only in hindsight. Kyle recalls realizing his influence only once others named it, while he was simply doing the job. The birth of Native SonAn India retreat, a voice, Baldwin on a bookshelf. A mission emerges to create space for Black gay, queer, and gender nonconforming lives beyond nightlife, crisis, or erasure. Progress and backlash, side by sideVisibility expands while political resistance hardens. Both argue that representation without ownership is fragile, and that DEI without equity is noise. What feels contemporary now Fearless self-definition. Living in nuance. Building community that can hold contradiction, accountability, and becoming, without waiting for permission.

Who doesn’t like simple things? But the sinful nature of man likes to complicate things. Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians about our minds being corrupted from the simplicity of Christ. Satan works tirelessly to complicate the gospel message to make it confusing to the minds of men. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at …

In Micah the sixth chapter we read that God’s people are required to love mercy. Do we love mercy? We sure love to receive it, but do we love to give it? In this sermon Brother Luke looks at the life of Joseph to show a powerful example of what loving mercy looks like. 11.09.25.Love.Mercy.Luke.Hagler

Our world is overrun with an infectious, sinful disease called pride. The Bible has much to say about pride, but we have gotten so used to seeing it we often fail to recognize it. In this sermon Brother Luke preaches about what pride really looks like, to better help us identify it. This is important for us because it is …

In this sermon Brother Luke looks at how walking in obedience is the key to a solid foundation. While it is easy to understand the concept, it is sometimes difficult to execute. 10.22.25.Building.on.a.Rock.Luke.Hagler

What is required of us by the Lord? What does He expect out of us? In this sermon Brother Luke looks at what it means to do justly, which is one of the things the Bible tells us is required of us by God. 10.26.25.What.is.Required.Luke.Hagler

Does it matter which Bible we use? Today we often choose a version of that Bible that best suits our personal preferences. With over 50 versions of the English Bible, it is wise to consider how these versions came to be. But the various versions contain so many contradictions with each other until it is …

How often do we act like the Israelites in how quickly we turn away from God? Even after experiencing his great deliverances, we are quick to turn away. In this message, Brother Luke looks at a Savior that stands in the breach to make intercession for us even when we rebel against our God. 10.12.25.He.Stands.in.the.Breach.Luke.Hagler

The Bible tells us the Lord uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. David used a sling and a stone to slay a giant. Samson used the jawbone of an ass to slay 1,000 philistines. A child of God uses things to fight their battles that the world would say are …

In Matthew chapter 7 we read about a narrow way that few people find.  Too often this is used as a scare tactic verse to make people question their salvation.  In this sermon, Bro. Luke uses the scriptures to show how this narrow path is not a path to Heaven, but rather a path of Godly …

In the aftermath of the recent horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, Brother Luke delivers a timely and comforting message about persecution, and how we as Christians must process such evil. 09.14.25.Persecution.Luke.Hagler

When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them the city would be destroyed in 40 days, Jonah fled to Tarshish. Something was eating him up, besides the whale that would eventually eat him. Why? Was he afraid the Ninevites would harm him? When we look closer at the words of Jonah, we …

We have all heard of ‘free will’. When we use the term “free will,” we are saying a person has the ability to choose and pursue their desires. Does a person have total free will in their lives? Some say yes. However, some say mankind has no free will in their lives and God orchestrates …

When the children of Israel grew tired of waiting on Moses to return from mount, they chose to create their own god.  We often read that account and shake our heads at them in shame.  Are we guilty of doing the same thing?  In this message Bro. Luke asks three questions to help us determine …

The treasures of this world are fleeting and temporary, yet we pursue them with a passion. We are willing to bring stress in our lives, conflict in our relationships, and financial hardships into our families all for something that in a short time will either waste away or we will lose interest in it. How …

Imagine standing before God and he asks us on what merit are we worthy to enter into Heaven. What would we say? Would we plead our case by telling of our good works or nationality? Would we tell him of our belief or repentance? In this message Brother Luke looks at things that are commonly …

The Bible tells us to let our moderation be known unto all men. What exactly does that mean? In a time of excessive appetites for activities like youth sports, careers, or hobbies, it is vitally important we understand what moderation is. In the same way the tires on a car need to be balanced to …

The Bible gives multiple accounts of the dead being raised back to life in this world, but that is not the only type of resurrection we find in the scriptures. We read about our spiritual man being resurrected back to life with the new birth and about the resurrection of our bodies eternally at the end …

It is easy to lose heart in the face of evil. Sometimes the evil that affects us can be distant – like being frustrated with politics. But sometimes it touches us directly. When it touches us directly, we need to prepare our minds to know how the Lord views and deals with such evil, as …

Jesus tells us that in order for a man to find his life he must first lose it. That might seem like an unusual statement if we only look at it from a superficial perspective. In this sermon, Brother Luke looks at the life of Paul to get a better understanding of what it means …

Everyone agrees that the plant you grow will always be the same as the seed you plant. Corn seeds don’t yield apple trees. The Bible is clear that we will reap what we sow. If we sow to the flesh we will reap destruction. Our problem as children of God is not a lack of understanding this, but it comes …

Contentment and jealousy do not coexist very well. When one thrives the other does not. Being content with what we have is a wonderful feeling. Our contentment is disrupted when we begin looking at what others have. Jealousy creeps in and puts a stranglehold on our contentment. Instead of a peaceful sense of having enough, …

When was the last time you saw a modern-day prodigal son return? Chances are you haven’t. Why? They say that behind every good dish is a good recipe. Sometimes the recipes are passed down, and if we are not diligent in keeping up with a recipe, we forget the ingredients needed to make a good …

It is interesting how light affects our perception. Experiments have proven without any exposure to the sun we lose our sense of time, and our sleep cycles become altered, both of which are kept in check by exposure to sunlight.

In this sermon Brother Luke looks at the progression of how a man healed of blindness viewed Jesus. The healed man initially calls Jesus just a man. Then as his understanding grows, he calls him a prophet, then a being from God, and ultimately, he recognizes and worships Jesus as a king. As we learn …

Being afraid can have a dramatic impact on our behavior. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at how the fear of death is a bondage that can cause us to compromise. The scripture tells us the fear of death is something the Lord came to deliver us from, and when we embrace His truth, we …

The Bible says that a brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Oftentimes when someone offends us, we build walls, and it can be very difficult to repair a relationship. A mistake we as Christians make is to assume God deals with us in the way we deal with each other. …

Regardless of denomination, faith is one of the most common words heard among religious circles. However, you will find significant differences in an understanding of it. Some say it is a prerequisite to being born again while others say it is generated when one hears the gospel. When we look at the scripture, we see …

On the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He took Peter, James and John with Him. Before he goes off to pray, he instructs them to watch. Three times he returns to find them sleeping. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at the definition of the word watch, …

We all deal with bondage to some extent, whether it is the bondage of fear, depression, disease, grief or countless other ways. Thankfully God specializes in rescuing us from bondage. Sometimes he does it in miraculous ways as he did with Peter, Paul, and Silas. But for most of us, it may not be a …

Living in the modern church culture, we often lose sight of a Biblical understanding of what a pastor is. In this message, Brother Luke preaches about the characteristics of a good pastor. 01.26.25.A.Good.Pastor.Luke.Hagler

In the final justification sermon, Brother Luke looks at the most compelling type of justification. To be justified by works is when others declare us righteous, and justification by faith is when we experience it within based on our faith in Jesus’ work, it is only through grace that the Lord God Almighty declares us …
