Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, we concluded our theme week called "R.O.I.- Return on Investment", and we discussed sowing spiritually on this Freedom Friday. Our scripture reference was Galatians 6:7-8. We are either sowing the flesh or sowing the spirit. What does it mean to sow spiritually? The R.O.I. is eternity with Jesus! What have you invested in that ended up being a waste in time, but you find redemption and freedom in Christ? Ally shared a clip of her special interview with Michael Cochren of Cochren and Co. He shared his personal faith testimony, music, and more. Hear the full interview on Ally's Snapshot Testimony podcast. We also talked with Pastor Dr. Charlie Dates.

Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, we continued our theme week called "R.O.I.- Return on Investment", and we discussed a harvest of righteousness. What does it mean to truly reap what you sow? The scripture reference was 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. Being bountiful is not the same as being rich, and being rich isn't the goal. Are you a cheerful giver? When we invest, we need to focus on the spiritual return. We also talked with Pastor Dr. Charlie Dates.

Questions Covered in This Episode:What is your new book, “Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal” about?What would you say to someone who does not fully understand what Lent is?Is Easter Sunday just another Sunday? Isn't every Sunday an opportunity to celebrate the risen Lord?

Welcome back podcast listeners. And welcome to Lent. Whether you're relatively new to Lent, old hat, or just really not that into it if you're honest -- totally cool. We've got a little something for everyone today -- to think about, enjoy, maybe even new to glean for your Lenten practice. My guest today is the Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley, has just released a brief, readable, and very wise guide to the season of Lent. And I'm looking forward to sharing our conversation with you. We talked about our own journeys into discovering Lent and the church seasons. We wrestle with the relationship between Lenten practices and spiritual maturity, such as the dangers of relying on ritual, as well as the dangers of running from it. How do we discern sin in an anxiety-ridden, shame-saturated, fearful world? Is there a relationship between personal fasting and social justice? If your car breaks down close to a church, should you take it as a sign and just go in and see what's going on? And perhaps most importantly, speaking of cars, if your spiritual life were a car, what would it be? Esau is associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and theologian in residence at Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago. He is the author of four available books, Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal, Sharing in the Son's Inheritance, Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope, and Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit. He is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and has a memoir coming out in September. Now put away that chocolate and settle in. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

It's not a popular idea, but secular America is pretty damn religious. Pretty damn liturgical. Pumpkin spice lattes and apple cider donuts are the eucharistic elements of autumn. The militaristic pageantry of the 4th of July. Our children love asking about the next big event. Color coordinated myths drive the year along, shaping us into …. well, I'm not quite sure what this secular American liturgy is shaping us into. But I bet you and I could have had a great conversation about during a Super Bowl party earlier this month—where the eucharistic elements have changed—it's Buffalo wings and light beer—but it even comes with a sacred gathering of fanatical religious nuts, worshipping the high priest as he barks his coded sermon, and singing along with the high priestesses at halftime, praying all along to the gods of the gridiron to grant victory. When you put it that way, observing Lent—which starts today, Ash Wednesday—seems pretty tame and sensible.Joining me today on the show is Esau McCaulley—for a discussion of Lent. Esau is associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton college and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times.He's author of Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope, which won Christianity Today's book of the year award in 2020, as well as a new book, Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal, which is part of a series entitled “The Fullness of Time”—which features other authors discussing different seasons of the Christian liturgical year and how it contributes to a Christian understanding of flourishing.During our conversation, Esau McCaulley and I discuss the Christian practice of Lent—he speaks about it as both a collective wisdom, passed down through generations of Jesus followers, as well as a spiritual rebellion against mainstream American culture. He construes Lent as a season of repentance and grace; he points out the justice practices of Lent; he walks through a Christian understanding of death, and the beautiful practice of stripping the altars on Maundy Thursday; and he's emphatic about how it's a guided season of finding the grace to find (or perhaps return) to yourself as God has called you to be.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation.

Black death, Coronavirus death, War death.Jesus defeated death as our great enemy.“Everybody that I know and I care about are gonna die. Everybody.”“I, as a Christian, believe that because we're going to die. our lives are of infinite value and the decisions that we make and the kinds of people we become are the only testimony that we have and that I have chosen to, to, in light of my impending death, put my faith in the one who overcame death.”Two realities: We're going to die and Jesus defeated death.Stripping of the Altars on Maundy Thursday.Silent processional in black; Good Friday celebrates no eucharist.“I'm, like, the one Pauline scholar who doesn't like to argue about justification all of the time.”Good Friday's closing prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, we pray you to set your passion cross and death between your judgment and our souls.”“You end Lent with: Something has to come between God's judgement and our souls. And that thing is Jesus.”“Lent is God loving you enough to tell you the truth about yourself, but not condemning you for it, but actually saying that you can be better than that.”About Esau McCaulleyEsau McCaulley, PhD is an associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL and theologian in residence at Progressive Baptist Church, a historically black congregation in Chicago.

Jamal Johnson, one of the pastors at Progressive Baptist Church and Biblica partner for Reach4Life, joins us in a conversation about culture. The culture of our country and our community doesn't often align with God's word, leading to groups of people, especially Black people in America, to pull away from going to church or being active Christians. Tackling the tough topics of racism, slavery, politics, sexuality, and gentrification, we break down the broad topic of culture using Christ as our guide. Timecoded Guide: [00:00] Introducing Jamal & discussing the Black community's exodus from church [09:09] Seeing through the myth of the “white man's religion” to find Black people in the Bible [19:16] Finding a church of sound doctrine and exploring churches online [27:07] Understanding the intersection of culture, church, and sexuality [38:09] Separating church and state in politics, but voting with God's word in mind [46:00] Knowing and loving the church, even though it is imperfect [52:33] Helping the next generation through church-community collaboration
The sweeping rise of Christian nationalism on the right has taken extreme forms since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. From “Stop the Steal” to the storming of the U.S. Capitol and now, the overturn of Roe v. Wade — Christian nationalist rhetoric has undergirded it all. But given that a majority of Americans identify as Christian, faith also isn't going anywhere in our politics. So what would a better relationship between church and state look like?To discuss, Jane Coaston brings together two people who are at the heart of the Christian nationalism debate. Katherine Stewart is the author of “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism” and has reported on the Christian right for over a decade. Esau McCaulley is a contributing writer for Times Opinion and theologian-in-residence at Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago.Stewart feels that the movement is paving the way to something with graver consequence. “This is a movement that wants to promote theocratic policies,” she says. “But theocracy is really not the end point. It's sort of a means to an end, which is authoritarianism.” McCaulley agrees the danger is real. But to him, there's a place for faith-informed arguments in the public square. “When you try to enforce your religion as the base of your argument and the sole way of being a good American, that's Christian nationalism,” he says. “And when you're saying, well, hold on, here is a value that I want to advocate for, perhaps this is my best presentation of the issue, let's vote and let society decide — I think that's the best that you can hope for.”Mentioned in this episode:“Christian Nationalists Are Excited About What Comes Next” by Katherine Stewart in The New York Times“How Religion Can Help Put Our Democracy Back Together” by Richard Just in The Washington Post Magazine(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)
Charlie Dates reflects on how the Black preaching tradition has shaped him into the preacher he is today, as well as how to practice faithful discernment about one's pastoral calling. Charlie Dates is senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church of Chicago.
Episode 136 - Pastor Jamal Johnson of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago joins Stephanie for a candid, heartfelt conversation about building a legacy under the great I AM. They discuss the current issues facing the American church in terms of conflict, division, and all things that work against the unity of the Body of Christ. So, when Pastor Jamal interprets Psalm 88 in light of the Negro Spirituals, it a beautiful immersion into the deep theology and vibrant faith that carried his ancestors through the dark days of American history, all the way to today. They also discuss the beauty and challenges of raising the next generation to delight in God, as well as the scars and pitfalls of parenting. Pastor Jamal challenges us with the timely question of what we will do with what has been entrusted to us, both from the past and towards the future. From heartache to hope, Stephanie was brought to tears a couple of times, and you just might be, too.

Dr. Charlie Dates, Senior Pastor at Progressive Baptist Church, answers the question of whether or not Christianity is really necessary for justice work as we continue in our series Ask Me Anything.
On this episode, we have our second annual MLK Jr. Special as we honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. MLK Day comes every year on the third Monday in January. MLK's legacy has left a lasting impact that reverberates in our history, is made tangible in our present, and echoes in our future. The year 2020, and now 2021, have been tumultuous for our nation in terms of racial tensions. Racial tensions have been the epitome of who America is since its inception. Some have said that the last 5-6 years have been the worst, in terms of race relations, on this side of the Civil Rights Movement. This has been expressed frequently and most often by the minority leaders in the American church. We are joined by Pastor Charlie Dates, senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church on the South Side of Chicago. Dr. Dates is a long time pastor who has committed his life to learning, teaching, and shepherding all in the state Illinois. He is a key figure and prophetic voice in the justice movement from a Christian perspective and truly embodies an MLK-like life when it comes to being impacted by his legacy and pursuing the change he would want to see. Dr. Dates is a husband, father, scholar, pastor, author, and truth teller. Check out this episode for a semi-history lesson, a sober look at where we are today, and a gospel hope to lean into.

Americans allowed the system to deny them much of what they have worked for because of similar behavior to these five monkeys. It's time to unlearn. On Sunday mornings, I listen to all the network and cable news shows. I like to blog them with a narrative more conducive to progressives. In other words, I try to remove the spin or reinterpret when I see a fraudulent narrative. The Lakewood Church service comes on after the last news show. While I am blogging, I generally listen to it. Pastor Joel Olsteen, who I consider more a motivational speaker than a pastor, usually has some very uplifting messages. Again, I am a humanist but enjoy all religions (hell, my wife is a deacon in a Progressive Baptist Church).--- If you like what we do please do the following!

Here we go again. The evangelical world is shocked by another leadership scandal. This time it’s the report that famed apologist Ravi Zacharias sexually abused women for years before his death in 2020. Kaitlyn Schiess joins Phil and Skye to discuss the story, and why so many ministries fail to investigate their famous leaders or take abuse allegations seriously. Then, Skye talks with Charlie Dates, senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago, about his decision to leave the Southern Baptist Convention in December. Believing the SBC’s desire to overcome its racist past was genuine, Dates had to convince his historically black church to align with the SBC in the first place. He explains why he was wrong and what it means for the future of evangelicalism in America. This week's Bonus segment: https://www.patreon.com/posts/47673135

“Such a cry as ‘I can't breathe' is not merely anthropological, but it is theological. The problem with White supremacy – killing Black women and Black men in America – is an error of theology. It is a failure of the White mind and the White power structure to remember from where breath really comes.”On a special episode of the CPT Podcast, we share a sermon given by Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates, Senior Pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago. This sermon was given on Sunday, May 31, 2020 – in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
