Auntea Jerrell is officially a married man! Get your cups ready as he shares all the details from his wedding—the pre-ceremony nerves, the intimate celebration, and the hilarious moment his new husband immediately started calling him "husband" 87 times in a row. Jerrell also shares the two major reasons they decided to tie the knot now (hint: one involves starting a family!). The celebration leads directly into a powerful Ask Yo Aunteas segment: How important are relationship titles? The Aunteas have very strong feelings about the difference between being introduced as "my friend" versus "my partner" or "my husband." Plus, Auntea Dawon reports back from his "integration phase" trip to London to visit his man (and delivers a scathing review of British food), and the Aunteas debate the messy, new "Post My DL" TikTok trend.

Detoxing Your Thoughts this October!What are you thinking about? Let's beautify them!I had the honor of being joined by Jerrell, Stephanie, Rochelle, and Janessa during our live teaching, and together we created a sacred space to renew our minds and align our thoughts with God's truth. We explored powerful scriptures like Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Isaiah 26:3—each one revealing how our thought life shapes the peace we carry and the lives we build.We were reminded that how you think creates your personhood. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we learned how to take every thought captive, allow our mind to lean on God, and ultimately THINK how Christ thinks, and the result is a peace-filled life. ✨ Yay for pure thoughts. ✨

Welcome to the only MTB podcast to provide you with suspect mountain bike expertise, best enjoyed while sunning your rear, paddling your shins, or taping down your “business” for that sweet aerodynamic gain. Oh, and we have pro riders like Jerrell Webster on. On this week's episode, we chewed through three core themes at a speed only barely hampered by our collective ADHD: 1) Debating the joys of escaping from traditional team sports into the beautiful, ego-destroying mayhem of mountain biking, 2) Exposing the seedy underbelly of the MTB world's obsession with tight kits, mysterious Facebook boomers, and our own online store that only seems to accept PayPal, and 3) Taking an overdue dose of reality about diversity on bikes, featuring Jerrell Webster's quest to make Rampage less pale. We sprinkle in some shinner injuries, unsolicited scooter opinions, and just enough political Facebook comment dumpster fires to keep your brain itching all week. We recommend you "smash" play harder than Sponch's mom if you want a “podshow” that delivers the gnar, the existential dread, and all the self-deprecating humor your tender little ears can handle. Just don't expect any useful advice—unless you consider life hacks like “always ready to shred” and “never trust a man who pedals” as gospel.

On the next Charlotte Talks, a conversation with Mark Jerrell, chair of the Mecklenburg County Commission, elected in 2018 and rose to the top spot in December after George Dunlap decided not to seek another term as leader. Jerrell said he will focus on improving equity and affordability. We'll ask him about those priorities, the climate, taxes, and more.
Jerrell's first baby is born six weeks premature, despite an otherwise typical and healthy pregnancy. At her postpartum appointment, she learns that Black women are 60% more likely to give birth prematurely than white women, and that Black maternal and infant mortality rates are more than double those of white women — regardless of socio-economic status or education. Experts weigh in on why these disparities exist and challenge all of us to ask: what are we doing about it? “Making a Mother” is a production of Coffee + Crumbs.
