Dr. Alejandro Nava and Dr. Raúl Zegarra converse about their respective books, Street Scriptures: Between God and Hip-Hop (University of Chicago Press, 2022) and A Revolutionary Faith: Liberation Theology Between Public Religion and Public Reason (Stanford University Press, 2023). Both writers were students of David Tracy and they share the concern of public theology's impact on broader society. Dr. Zegarra embraces what he considers the sophisticated philosophy of John Rawls, in particular, “the way he thinks about justice…for the poor.” Conversations at the interface of diverse traditions and the public is of utmost importance to his interests. In his practice, Dr. Nava's work at the “hyphen that connects the mystical and prophetic” comes to life through hip-hop as “a voice of disenfranchised communities” that “...emerged out of the cracks and corners of the modern world.”

Special Guest! "International Music Pioneer & Music Producer" Craig Lane May 31,2019 9:30pm About Mr. Groove - Craig Lane Musical Funk Master My musical journey began with Jesus Christ who gave me the gift of creating music to minister to the hearts and souls of people around the world. By the time I reached high school and my parents gave their permission for me to join a band, I was going full speed ahead to reach musical goals which catches me by surprise even now. As a member of The Kream Band, we relentlessly learned all the Parlament Funkadelic and Prince music we could to perform at local clubs and school talent shows. Soon, we gained the attention of P-Funk members who came to our high school shows to check us out which led us to a band name change to “Sabotage”. We rehearsing at a home used by P-Funk to sharpen our Funk skills and work on music for our band and Mr. Sly Stone. One of our notable works landed a spot on a George Clintons album. We called the experience “Funk University”. Graduating with full Funk credentials I then met Al Hudson of One Way. We wrote songs together in his basement which went on to be recorded on One Way albums and Mr. Oliver Cheatham who I produced music on until his life’s departure. While continuing to work with Al and One Way, I was spotted getting off a tour bus in front of my sisters house by RJ Rice of RJ’s Latest Arrival who invited me into the group. This led to a on going career with RJ’S LA. During a brief break from the group, I then joined on to World One Records with Carl Butch Small, John Maxey, DJ Los and Gene David. This led to my first movie sound track, “Above The Rim” with Tupac. At this time I added Rap and Hip Hop music to my production skills. Hip Hop University. From there I joined with Young RJ the son of RJ Rice which led to working with a number of Rap & Hip Hop artist such as Detroit’s own Slum Village, Young Buck, Loyd Banks from the 50 Cent camp and another movie soundtrack, “Drill Bit Taylor. Currently continuing tour schedules with One Way as Mr. Groove and a long list of studio projects with “Elusiv” and her newly released cd called TIMELESS, Odell Jones of the Temptations and Contours, Lisa Kai from Bobby Womack’s organization, Al Hudson & Jeanette Mack Jackson of One Way, Stinger J and many more including a new Mr. Groove project to be announced. I must not forget about our youth. During all this, I worked with Cassandra Mc Donald to run the Cass Summer Music Camp in Zainsville Ohio where myself and a group of professional instructors taught young musical youth to sharpen their talents and get focused on there musical goals and aspiration. My group “Music Industry” focused on teaching my students all about music and how music is made traditionally and with todays technology. Originally a summer long program starting in Detroit, we condensed it down to a week long summer music camp. God is truly amazing and blessing me to continue work with all of the above mentioned and new and growing opportunities. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radio--tv-entertainment-n/message
