Send us a textHave you ever considered the difference between being a tourist and being a pilgrim? Justin Strickland discovered this distinction firsthand during his transformative journey to Ghana and the Anglican Diocese of Cape Coast, the companion diocese of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. His story reveals how true pilgrimage reshapes our understanding of presence, relationship, and spiritual growth.In this episode, Melissa and Justin have a conversation about Justin's recent pilgrimage and how it mirrors the tension of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 - the challenge of balancing doing with being. While Martha is busy attending to the practical needs of preparing for Jesus, Mary chooses to sit at his feet, listening to his teachings. Through visits to slave trade sites and immersion in Cape Coast's vibrant Anglican worship, Justin discovered the power of stepping away from constant activity to truly listen and connect. The journey began as historical exploration but blossomed into something far more meaningful - genuine relationships that continue to flourish across oceans. "We're such a doing people that we get so caught up in the doing that we forget when those holy moments to stop doing are," he reflects. His story challenges us all to recognize when we need to be Martha (doing) and when we need to be Mary (being) - finding those sacred moments where stopping to listen transforms not just our experience but our very selves. Listen in for the full conversation. Read For Faith, the companion devotional.Justin Strickland is a lifelong Christian who was raised in the Pentecostal tradition but found his spiritual home in The Episcopal Church. He is an active member of the Cathedral of St. Philip and a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the life of the church. Recently, Justin deepened his faith journey by participating in a pilgrimage to Ghana. His life reflects a commitment to justice, community, and faithful witness.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

In this episode, Kyle breaks down the grant that Baylor University, a private and supposedly Christian university, received to study “inclusivity in the church” for people that identify as LGBTQ+. Also, in the Quick Hitters segment, he discusses Chip and Joanna Gaines selling out to the LGBTQ+ agenda, the tragic floods in Kerr County, Texas, former President Joe Biden's doctor pleading the Fifth when asked if he covered up Biden's bad mental and physical health, Planned Parenthood losing funding (for one year), the University of Pennsylvania stripping male swimmer Leah Thomas' trophies and medals and issuing a formal apology for letting him compete in women's swimming events, and a 1-year-old baby being mauled to death by the family dog (bet you can't guess what breed it is).

Marc Morial sits at the rare intersection of politics, activism, and business – a civil rights titan whose journey from transformative New Orleans mayor to National Urban League CEO offers profound lessons in leadership and community building. The foundation of Morial's remarkable career began in childhood, watching his parents' civil rights work from the sidelines. What began as "childcare" – tagging along to NAACP meetings and voter registration drives – became the classroom where he absorbed leadership from community giants. This early immersion shaped his lifelong commitment to economic justice and equality of opportunity. As New Orleans mayor, Morial tackled seemingly insurmountable challenges with innovative approaches. Faced with record crime rates, he refused to choose between enforcement and prevention, instead rebuilding the police department while simultaneously creating unprecedented youth programming – summer camps, job programs, and initiatives specifically for girls who had been overlooked by previous administrations. His "Gumbo Coalition" administration championed inclusivity, featuring record numbers of women and the first Asian American and LGBTQ cabinet members in city history. When Morial arrived at the National Urban League, he found an organization proud of its history but "operating in the past tense." Through visionary leadership, he's expanded the organization fivefold, broadening its portfolio to include workforce development, housing assistance, entrepreneurship programs, and strengthened advocacy work – all while building powerful coalitions with other civil rights organizations. Today, Morial warns of an unprecedented assault on civil rights progress and urges listeners not to succumb to complacency or despair. "In the short run, you hear noise but don't feel the damage. In the long run, the noise will subside, but the damage will be done," he cautions. His call to action is clear: defend fundamental American principles by getting involved, using your voice, and mentoring the next generation. Ready to be part of the solution?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S. This podcast continues our series on inflammatory bowel disease. The topic is important and timely: “Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, the Obese and the LGBTQ Patient.” It's critical that we broaden our perspective in addressing the unique challenges faced by these often-unrecognized population groups. How common is the presentation of inflammatory bowel disease in those over 65? How does age affect the treatments commonly used? Does obesity alter the disease presentation or activity and what are some of the unique challenges our LGBTQ patients face with inflammatory bowel disease? These are just some of the questions I'll be asking my guests, Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. https://ce.mayo.edu/content/mayo-clinic-talks-inflammatory-bowel-disease Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

This Isn't Therapy... it's a frank discussion about the "attention economy"—where companies compete to capture our focus to sell us products. We break down the difference between attention, focus, and concentration, and examine how the constant battle for our attention impacts our mental health, productivity, and relationships.

Obama's Gay Friend Advice Sparks Masculinity Debate! In a fiery segment, Clay Edwards unpacks Barack Obama's podcast remarks on Michelle Obama's show, where the ex-prez urges men to befriend gay people for empathy and kindness. Key quote: "You need that person in your friend group so if they have a boy who is gay or non-binary or what have you, they have someone that they can go, 'Okay, I'm not alone in this.'" Obama ties it to redefining manhood – sharing feelings, ditching provider roles, embracing arts over sports. Clay fires back: "I already have gay alpha friends who'll whoop ass if needed! This attacks the manosphere – ironic from fragile Barry with Big Mike." He slams assumptions conservatives shun gay pals, distinguishing friendships from LGBTQ agenda opposition. "Democrats have a testosterone problem; stop forcing sensitivity!" Raw take on cultural clashes & offense over words like "gay" as banter. 

Boom shakalaka! Dive into Ep 1,022 of The Clay Edwards Show, July 17, 2025 – 2 hrs of unfiltered reality radio with Clay Edwards firing on free speech, local scandals, & cultural clashes. Kicking off with a passionate defense of uncensored platforms amid AI de-ranking for taboo topics like COVID & crime. Local Roundup: Rudy Warnock's guilty verdict on corruption charges spirals into tragedy – post-trial car wreck & suicide attempt on I-20 near Pelahatchie. Clay unpacks the "victimless" white-collar crime, long federal sentences (20-50 yrs), & painful recovery ahead. Sympathy for family, but accountability stressed: "Nobody deserves that, but suicide isn't the way out." Breaking: Possible raid on Savannah Street – JPD activity, news crews; ties to roadblocks hunting escaped New Orleans prisoner Derek (last seen in MS). "They're doing cop stuff – welcome to the party!" FAFO Champ: Brandon block party shooting (June 21, Mary Miles Dr.) – city-permitted event turns deadly. Ryan Mosley (31) arrested for 1st-degree murder & felon w/ firearm after killing one, injuring another. "Don't go to parties needing a gun – rethink standards for permits!" Shrimp Scandal: Study reveals 30/44 Jackson-area spots serve imported shrimp despite "wild-caught" claims. Kudos to 14 authentic ones (e.g., Drago's, Half Shell, Shaggy's) – call for transparency under new MS labeling law. Immigration Truth Serum: Border chaos blamed on Dems' open policies; regrets good folks caught in crackdown. "No negative Hispanic interactions ever – hard workers, accountable. But illegal entry = crime; come through front door!" Obama's Masculinity Critique: Ex-prez urges men to get gay friends for empathy, share feelings, ditch provider roles, & embrace arts over sports. Clay fires back: "Already have gay alpha friends! This attacks manosphere – ironic from fragile Barry. Distinguish from LGBTQ agenda; assumptions offend conservatives." Epstein Ties: Listener nods to connections & suicides – "Weird how they're linked." Clay's Rants: Offense at sensitivity over words ("gay" as ball-busting, "retard" for stupidity – not targeting disabled). Stereotypes earned; force acceptance backfires (e.g., Redskins name – Indians want it back!). Raw, chaotic vibes on politics, culture, & accountability.

Maurice – or Melissa, as they sometimes introduced themselves – was 22 when they were shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona. They were just starting to build a name for themselves as a performer, making it to the regional final for American Idol and acting in dozens of local productions, including The Wiz, Westside Story, and Alice in Wonderland. But the curtain fell too soon…According to friends and family, gender identity was fluid for Maurice. They sometimes presented as femme and went by Melissa, as they did the night of the shooting. This led both LGBTQ+ activists and local officials to fear that maybe this was a hate crime. Maybe… But investigators have struggled to pin down a definitive motive – and the killer.If you have any information at all about the murder of Maurice Dupree Green, also known as Melissa, in March of 2006, please come forward.

Immigration. It's a topic that ignites passion, confusion, and often division. These days, the word “immigrant” can split a room in half and not always politely. 

But here's the truth: whether documented or undocumented, immigrants have always been part of the American story. They've built railroads, harvested crops, launched companies, cared for families—not just their own—and they've done all this while paying billions in taxes.ImmigrationNation of immigrantsTimeline of immigration policyWho benefits from all these immigration reforms?Today's undocumented labor.How the US benefited from immigrants.How to Fix it?Want to adopt my foster puppy?

Woke Squid Games Sucked, LGBTQ Pastor Controversy, JD Vance Causes Woke Meltdown

In this episode, Julie discusses with Savannah the topic of the importance of biological CIS-female friends for gender-expansive people. The conversation starts with insecurities from trolling negative comments playing a key part in taking down a social media post about the topic, followed by a multi-faceted conversation in-air about the sense of safety and belonging that biological female friends provide that sometimes cannot be matched in friend groups anywhere else!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States.

This critical examination of the vitriol expressed in response to Josh Patterson's post in the "Christian Podcasters" Facebook group serves as a pivotal discourse on the necessity of fostering dialogue among Christians regarding contentious topics, particularly those surrounding LGBTQ+ interpretations of scripture. The episode delves into the incendiary comments made against Patterson's podcast episode featuring Brandan Robertson, which offered a queer reading of Biblical texts. Through thoughtful reflection, we engage with the implications of such hostility within the Christian community and interrogate the mechanisms of online discourse that often lead to division rather than understanding. Our guests, including Christian Ashley from "Let Nothing Move You," provide insights on how Christians can more constructively engage with ideas that challenge their beliefs. Ultimately, we advocate for a posture of love and patience, urging listeners to seek understanding rather than resorting to condemnation in their interactions with differing perspectives.In analyzing the adverse reactions to the podcast episode featuring Brandon Robertson, the speakers reflect on the polarized responses elicited from the Christian podcaster community. They recount how a post sharing the episode was met with a barrage of negativity, revealing a troubling trend of intolerance and a lack of understanding among believers. The discussion shifts to the broader implications of such backlash, emphasizing the necessity for open dialogue and the importance of recognizing the humanity of individuals, regardless of their beliefs. By encouraging listeners to engage thoughtfully with differing perspectives, the speakers seek to promote a culture of compassion and understanding, rather than one of division and hostility. In this episode, we also include Christian Ashley to get the perspective of a Christian who does not agree with a queer reading of scripture or full inclusion and affirmation of the LGBTD+ community in our churches. This episode ultimately underscores the need for Christians to embrace humility and grace in their interactions, fostering an environment where honest discourse can thrive.Takeaways: The backlash against Josh Patterson's post reveals deep divisions within Christian communities regarding LGBTQ+ acceptance. Engaging in meaningful dialogue rather than vitriol can lead to better understanding among Christians with differing beliefs. Recognizing that people are not solely defined by their ideas is crucial for constructive conversation. The importance of approaching disagreements with a spirit of love and humility cannot be overstated, especially in online interactions. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.Listen to Josh Patterson's interview with Brandan Robertson:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/proudly-queer-boldly-christian-with-brandan-robertson/id1438696524?i=1000704641197.Listen to Joshua Noel and Christian Ashley's discussion on Leviticus 16-18 on Let Nothing Move You:https://let-nothing-move-you.captivate.fm/episode/leviticus-16-17-18/.Check out our recording with Brandan Robertson:

When Patrick Patrick Kitana Ettenes bluntly told his father "I suck dick, daddy" at 15 years old, it marked just one turning point in a life brimming with extraordinary challenges and triumphs. Born in Barbados in 1983 to a Dutch father and Trinidadian mother, Patrick's childhood was a paradox of privilege and pain—his father's high-profile security work with prime ministers and diplomats couldn't shield him from relentless bullying due to his feminine expression.Patrick's shocking classroom experiences included teacher-orchestrated "games" where students chased and attacked him, leaving him with bruises and scratches his mother eventually noticed. Despite this trauma, he emerged with an indomitable spirit, eventually leaving Barbados for Cuba on a psychology scholarship at just 15, before settling in Manchester, UK, where he finally found community and acceptance.But life in England wasn't the paradise he hoped for. Patrick survived an abusive relationship that left him homeless, battled substance abuse, contracted HIV, and was diagnosed with early onset dementia in his early thirties. Yet rather than succumbing to these challenges, he transformed them into fuel for activism. Finding no support groups for LGBTQ+ people with dementia, he created them himself, launching the "Bring Dementia Out" initiative with the Alzheimer's Society.Patrick's identity journey is equally compelling—identifying as non-binary and sometimes presenting as female at conferences, he embraces both sides of himself while rejecting the pressure to undergo gender confirmation surgery after learning it might affect his sexual pleasure. His perspective on dementia is particularly remarkable, describing how as his brain degenerates, his empathy and intuition have heightened, giving him what he calls a "superpower" to help others.Have you encountered someone whose resilience fundamentally changed how you view adversity? this extraordinary conversation that will challenge your perspectives on sexuality, gender, disability and the transformative power of turning personal trauma into community advocacy. Read more about Patrick's work and diagnosis herePresented by Emma Goswell Produced by Sam Walker We'd love to hear YOUR story.
