Feeling the impact of inflation, many Americans are leveraging their buying power – by not buying anything. Thousands of people on social media are promoting what's called the Economic Blackout. People in Illinois and Chicago are also mobilizing around the idea. To learn more about the effort and motive behind it, Reset was joined by the founder of The People's Union USA John Schwarz; Rev. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ; and Peg Dublin, co-chair of Third Act Illinois Peg Dublin.

In this episode, we are joined by the Reverend Dr. Otis Moss, III. Dr. Moss is senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He is a preacher, poet, activist, author and filmmaker with an eye toward justice and equality, as evidenced through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Reverend Dr. Otis Moss, III was invited to be in conversation because we are entering into a new phase of our world. It's called a non-democratic phase of life in America. One can see it just by the the nominations for the next administration's cabinet. One can see these are anti-democratic people. Their goal is to actually tear apart the institutions that make democracy possible. And we also are in a time when the "Middle East" (and that is put in quotes because of what is discussed in this episode) where that region is now on fire. And it's dangerous as in what happens there can affect everybody. So this conversation is ultimately about how to pastor the church through all this. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode, I chat with my friend and pastor, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, about his unique sense of "home" within the Black church tradition. While I thought we'd talk about "the pulpit" as his home, our conversation revealed something much deeper. Growing up as a preacher's kid surrounded by civil rights leaders we've all studied in school, Pastor Moss brings a perspective rooted in history, faith, and the ongoing fight for justice. Releasing this episode on Inauguration Day feels right—voices like his are more vital now than ever.

We are taking a little time to gear up for the next round of episodes from Pass The Mic but did not want to leave you hanging. We've got back to back hits from the archives for you to enjoy in the meantime. New episodes return Feb 5th. With civil rights advocacy in his DNA, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III built his ministry on community advancement and social justice activism. As Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Moss spent the last two decades practicing and preaching a Black theology that unapologetically calls attention to the problems of mass incarceration, environmental justice, and economic inequality.  Dr. Moss is part of a new generation of ministers committed to preaching a prophetic message of love and justice, which he believes are inseparable companions that form the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was recently recognized as one of the “12 Most Effective Preachers in the English-Speaking World” by Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary. As part of his community engagement through Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Moss led the team that came up with the “My Life Matters” curriculum; which includes the viral video, “Get Home Safely: 10 Rules of Survival” created in the aftermath of Michael Brown's death at the hands of Ferguson, Missouri police. Dr. Moss was named to the inaugural Root 100, a list that “recognizes emerging and established African-American leaders who are making extraordinary contributions,” according to the publication's website. Honorees range between ages 25 to 45 and their accomplishments and successes transcend media headlines or statistics. With a unique gift to communicate across generations, Dr. Moss' creative Bible-based messages have inspired young and old alike. His intergenerational preaching gift has made Dr. Moss a popular speaker on college campuses, at conferences, and churches across the globe. He is highly influenced by the works of Zora Neale Hurston, August Wilson, Howard Thurman, Jazz, and Hip-Hop music. The work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the pastoral ministry of his father, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, Jr. of Cleveland, Ohio, have been primary mentors for his spiritual formation. The founder of Unashamed Media Group, a justice centered, faith-based agency committed to producing and curating stories to inspire the heart and challenge the mind, Dr. Moss is the recipient of a 2016 NAACP Image award for his work, which includes providing biblical context and theological support to a myriad of groups and causes, including the #BlackLivesMatter and the #Occupy movements. His earlier publications include: Redemption in a Red Light District, and The Gospel According to the Wiz: And Other Sermons from Cinema. He co-authored The Gospel Re-Mix; How to Reach the Hip-Hop Generation with three other contributors, and Preach! The Power and Purpose Behind Our Praise, with his father. He is married to his college sweetheart, the former Monica Brown of Orlando, Florida, a Spelman College and Columbia University graduate. They are the proud parents of two creative and humorous children, Elijah Wynton and Makayla Elon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

January 22, 2024 Have you ever experienced an actual snownado? It's terrifying to watch – and you have no choice but to be in the midst of it. How often during chaos we resist, fight, or try to control the circumstances. Yet if we sit in the snownado and actually look up toward the light, the chaos can be used for a purpose. As Dr. Otis Moss III states, we can turn chaotic energy to purpose, we can consecrate our chaos. (Otis Moss III, Dancing in the Darkness Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times; CAC Meditation, 1/22/2024.) Listen portion today: “In the beginning God created the heaves and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light, “ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light form the darkness.” Genesis 1: 1-4, NIV --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angie-winn/message

What modern rituals stir your heart?   On this episode, Rev. Otis Moss III returns to the show and offers his perspective on what living a spiritually awakened life means for us today. He explains, “Love your neighbor. Love your neighbor as yourself. If you are devoid of self-love, if you hate who you are, then you are incapable of loving your neighbor. And maybe that's the most insidious thing about white supremacy. Many of us don't love ourselves enough to love our neighbor.”  Resources: Rev. Otis Moss III's latest book, Dancing in the Darkness can be found here.

Martin Luther King Day, 2023. We'll go in-depth with the Rev. Otis Moss III, who has deep family connections with both Martin Luther King, Jr. and his father. What are the essential teachings of MLK Jr. for a time such as this? And what has been forgotten, by accident or on purpose? We'll also dig into Rev. Moss's brand-new book, Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times. It's an exploration of ways to free ourselves from worry and anger despite the opposition and naked hatred so many face today. It's a life-affirming guide to the practical, political, and spiritual challenges of our day, and I know you'll get a lot out of joining us for this conversation. Also, Rabbi Sharon Brous will share some thoughts for Martin Luther King Day.
