This season's theme: "How?" We want to spend this season wrestling with the practical and tangible realities of what it means to be both Black and Christian, all at the same time.  In this first episode, our host G. Tyler Burns wrestles with this central theme: How are we still here? This question is a double entendre that can bring confusion and clarity depending on how we ask it.

In this powerful service from February 22, 2026, we reflect on the Scripture reading from Book of Revelation 1:9–20, where John shares his vision of Christ standing among the lampstands.God's desire for His Church is clear: we are called to be a lampstand. By nature, a lampstand is made to burn—it exists to carry and host the flame. In the same way, the Church is designed to host the very presence and fire of God.This message explores what it means to carry His light, to remain burning, and to faithfully shine in a dark world. The lampstand does not create the flame—it sustains and displays it. As believers, we are called to be vessels that uphold the light of Christ so others may see Him clearly.Join us as we examine our calling to burn brightly, steward His presence, and stand as lampstands in our generation.

Like when an institution says one thing but does another. Or maybe having certain requirements initially that change when certain people want to gain access.
