Podcast appearances and mentions of urban ministry

Look, we've all got pain. We've all got stories we're afraid to tell. But what if there was a space where you could actually share those stories without judgment, without fear, and find healing in the process? Today, I'm sitting down with Liz Walker - a former news anchor turned pastor who discovered something powerful: when we create safe spaces for people to truly be heard, something miraculous happens. In the heart of Roxbury, she started a movement called "Can We Talk" that's transforming how communities process trauma, grief, and healing. This isn't just another feel-good story. This is about real people - mothers who've lost children, young men caught in cycles of violence, entire communities learning to heal together. Liz's journey will challenge how you think about pain, community, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Here's the hope: healing is possible, and it starts with being brave enough to tell your story. So join us, so no one is left alone. Liz Walker is a minister, journalist, activist, and sought-after speaker. She leads the Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing. As Boston's first Black evening television news anchor, Walker received two Emmys and an Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in her field. A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, Walker served as pastor of Roxbury Presbyterian Church. She helped found the Jane Doe Safety Fund, has done humanitarian work in South Sudan, and has served on the boards of Boston Medical Center and Andover Newton Theological Seminary. The mother of three and grandmother of two, Walker now lives in Sarasota, Florida.Liz's Book:No One Left AloneLiz's Recommendation:Moonrise Over New JessupSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

For some time now, Pastor Walt McFadden and I have been talking about Urban Ministry. The populations of the world are moving into urban areas, creating a need for more space with affordable housing. City planners have been building more low-rise buildings and six stories all over the city, to try to accommodate this need. These same city planners are designing our transportation needs more around alternative ways of travel, such as scooters and bicycles. How does all of this influx of more people and a changing city design affect Urban Ministry? In this episode, we continue with our conversations on this theme with Pastor Walt McFadden of Cityview Church in South Minneapolis.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry's books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan Unruh

Cities have been with us since the beginning of time. In the early days, cities were where all the commerce and military strength resided. Ultimately, these cities collectively turned into states and then nations. Cities continue to grow and in the next decade 70% of the world's population will leave in cities. How will that impact how we live? What will be the challenges we face? For the church, we already face some of these challenges, and the need to do ministry differently and more effectively will only increase. It's been a joy discussing the urban ministry thinking, theology, and practicality of urban ministry with an urban pastor, Walt McFadden. He is my guest in this episode, and he explains how the church needs to prepare as cities change and grow. Visit Walt McFaddenChallenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsVisit CitySites Urban MediaCheck out Larry's books!Visit CitySites Urban Media YouTube Channel

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the unforgettable “I Have a Dream Speech.” Sixty years later, two men have a dream of their own: to share the life and teachings of Dr. King for the good of the church and the world. This episode of The Russell Moore Show features one of those men, Professor Matthew Daniels. A global human rights activist and founder of the non-profit organization Good of All, Daniels is half of the team that created Share the Dream™, a Bible study based on the life, teachings, and biblical principles of Dr. King. In collaboration with Harper Christian Resources and Urban Ministries, the video sessions of the study are co-hosted by Daniels and Chris Broussard, an award-winning journalist and broadcaster for FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports Radio and the founder and president of The K.I.N.G. Movement. This dynamic discussion considers counter-cultural engagement, social progress, and civil rights. Daniels and Moore talk about King's legacy, the current state of racial divides in the church, and how the history of polarization influences where we are today. Their conversation covers online extremism, evangelical emphases on personal piety over communal justice, and what obedience to Christ looks like in practical terms.  Tune in for a powerful episode that underscores the value of partnerships and the persistent merit of Dr. King's dream.

In Episode 104, we continue with the second part of a three-part mini-series to talk about my journey on how I entered the ministry and how I became a pastor. Was it God's plan for me to be a pastor? Almost every Christian has faced this dilemma at some time in their walk with Christ. In the end, it's a wonder and a blessing when God gives someone an inclination towards pastoral leadership gifts to serve in a certain church and provides a path to lead and serve in that church.
