How do pastors and church leaders navigate ministry when the battles feel relentless? In this episode, Loren talks with Bishop Jeffrey V. Dudley Sr.—retired Air Force chaplain, pastor, and leadership coach. Drawing from his decades of service in the military and the church, Bishop Dudley shares candid reflections on leadership, spiritual practices, and the weight of ministry. He opens up about personal seasons of opposition, the temptation to over-spiritualize crises, and the vital importance of prayer, boundaries, and honest self-awareness. This conversation is a powerful reminder for pastors, leaders, and anyone in ministry that resilience is possible, that honesty matters, and that our hope remains anchored in Jesus. Listeners will hear: Why “battles are inevitable, and preparation must be intentional” How to discern between authenticity and “bleeding on the people” The danger of over-spiritualizing crises—and how leaders can own responsibility Bishop Dudley's vulnerable reflections on suicidal ideation and the hope that carried him through Why he insists, “You are not what you feel”   Dr. Geoffrey V.

Send us a textCollege football's transfer portal era has fundamentally transformed Division II HBCU programs, shifting from player development over years to a season-by-season scramble for talent. On this season premiere, we explore how this new reality affects championship contenders in both the CIAA and SIAC conferences.Virginia Union, the defending CIAA champions, navigated this landscape successfully last season but now must replace star running back Jada Byers. Meanwhile, Miles College faces complete reconstruction after winning the SIAC championship, losing head coach Shadrick Shade to Alabama A&M along with several key players. These situations highlight the constant tension between success and stability at the D2 level.The coaching carousel spun wildly this offseason, with multiple programs experiencing significant changes. Shaw's Adrian Jones landed at Elizabeth City State after being dismissed despite a winning record. Edward Waters brought in former Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins following Toriano Morgan's departure to Tennessee State. Fort Valley State begins a new era without Sean Gibbs, who left for North Carolina A&T. These transitions create both challenges and opportunities across the D2 HBCU landscape.We also break down the exciting Week Zero matchups between CIAA and SIAC programs, including Virginia Union vs. Miles, Fayetteville State vs. Benedict, and Winston-Salem State vs. Tuskegee in the Red Tails Classic. These early cross-conference battles provide immediate tests for championship contenders while offering national exposure on ESPN platforms.NCAA changes bring fresh opportunities this season, with expanded playoffs (32 teams), automatic bids, and Super Region realignment potentially creating more postseason paths for HBCU programs. For traditional powers like Winston-Salem State and Tuskegee seeking to reclaim past glory, the stakes have never been higher.Subscribe to the D2HBCU Show for weekly insights, analysis, and exclusive interviews throughout the Division II HBCU football season.

Send us a textThe landscape of HBCU football is undergoing a transformative shift as the 2025 season approaches, with NFL legends stepping into coaching roles and traditional powers reasserting their dominance.Former NFL stars Michael Vick and Desean Jackson have sent shockwaves through the MEAC by taking over at Norfolk State and Delaware State respectively. Vick's homecoming to the 757 area has already revitalized Norfolk State's program through increased visibility, merchandise sales, and fan engagement. His $400,000 salary makes him the highest-paid coach in the conference, signaling the university's commitment to football success. Meanwhile, Jackson brings his characteristic confidence and "take no prisoners" mentality to a Delaware State program looking to rebound from consecutive dismal seasons.In the SWAC, Jackson State continues to thrive under TC Taylor despite the post-Deion Sanders era. Quarterback Jacobian Morgan, who rejected transfer portal opportunities to remain with his hometown team, anchors a roster loaded with returning talent and strategic additions. The Tigers enter as clear favorites to repeat as conference champions and return to the Celebration Bowl.The transfer portal era has dramatically reshaped roster management, particularly affecting Division II powerhouses. Virginia Union head coach Dr. Alvin Parker revealed the jarring experience of losing 17 players to the portal immediately following their Elite Eight playoff run, illustrating how quickly program trajectories can change in today's college football environment.Southern University presents an intriguing case study in player redemption, with former LSU four-star running back Trey Holly joining head coach Terrence Graves' program. While Holly brings elite talent to the backfield, quarterback uncertainty looms as Southern prepares for their season opener against North Carolina Central in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge.As we kick off another exciting season of HBCU football, download the HBCU Gameday app for complete coverage of all the action, from conference battles to the Celebration Bowl and everything in between.Support the show

Send us a textDr. Alvin Parker opens up about the dramatic shifts reshaping college football while balancing his dual identity as championship-winning coach and published author. With remarkable candor, he recounts walking off the field after Virginia Union's Elite Eight playoff loss feeling confident with 13 returning starters, only to lose 17 players to the transfer portal just two weeks later.Rather than lamenting these departures, Parker embraces a refreshingly positive perspective. "I promise every guy when they came to Virginia Union, I promise all of them you'll leave here better than you were when you came," he explains. This player-centered philosophy has helped Parker navigate college football's new business reality while maintaining Virginia Union's success with back-to-back CIAA championships and a stellar 51-15 record during his tenure.The conversation delves into Parker's second book, "Play for 11 Leadership," which distills leadership lessons applicable beyond sports into business and education. Drawing from his background as a journalism major and his doctoral education, Parker offers unique insights into building sustainable success despite constant change. He discusses adapting from purely player development to roster management, maintaining program culture despite coaching turnover, and observing the CIAA's evolution from defensive to offensive-focused programs.What emerges is a blueprint for principled leadership amid unprecedented change. Whether discussing potential career opportunities, celebrating players advancing to higher levels, or analyzing conference trends, Parker demonstrates how to maintain core values while embracing evolution. For anyone interested in leadership, college athletics, or building successful organizations in turbulent environments, Parker's journey offers invaluable lessons on balancing tradition with transformation.Support the show

Growing up with a dad (Terry) who played 10 seasons in the NBA, you might expect that Ed Davis was pushed from the time he could hold a basketball. But his father let Ed's love of the game develop naturally before training him on the court, at the track, and in the weight room when he was a teenager. Ed also benefited from a mom who let him put basketball first, pickup games with the likes of Ben Wallace at Virginia Union, and the discipline and timekeeping he learned at a private military school.All these things helped Ed become a top-10 high school prospect and McDonald's High School All-American. His decision to play for Roy Williams at UNC was vindicated when the team won the national championship his freshman year. After his sophomore season, Ed declared for the 2010 NBA Draft and was picked 13th by the Toronto Raptors. In his 12-year career, he also played for the Grizzlies, Lakers, Jazz, Nets, and Cavaliers, and led the league in offensive rebounding rate one season.In this episode, Ed dishes on:·       Why he chose to fight for playing time at North Carolina over starting at other schools·       How breaking his wrist against Duke changed his pre-draft process·       Why the Transfer Portal, NIL, and mixtapes have changed high school and college basketball  ·       How guidance from Reggie Evans and DeMar DeRozan helped him navigate his rookie year·       Who was his worst coach in the NBA and how this contrasted with the leadership of Quin Snyder and Roy WilliamsKeep up with Ed on Twitter @eddavisXVII.

FAMU has to have an effective running game to win the SWAC. Their 2021 season was much more dominant and they had a really good running game. If they want that type of dominance back and a potential conference title, they'll need to bring the running game back as well. The spring session of the transfer portal is the most exciting to me. It's this session where coaches and players have a more informed view of their team. Andrew Body and Jada Byers sat out of their spring games and I support the decision. Body is still rehabbing from an injury, so it's easy to understand why he was held out. Byers was held out simply because of load management. Virginia Union didn't want their star RB having too many touches after totaling over 300 last year. This will benefit him and them. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

That is the type of performance he must carry over into the fall if the Bulldogs want to win the MEAC and compete with QBs like Davius Richard. Jada Byers staying at Virginia Union is an understated big deal. People don't think about it because Byers didn't have draft eligibility. The season he is coming off of, though, would result in the player going up a subdivision often. It should have shocked no one if Byers left the D2 ranks. Howard recruited Notre Dame's Dominick Campbell, and he could partially replace Elijah Hawkins and Steve Settle. He might not fully replace either of those players, but Campbell does have some traits that could fill voids left by both of those departing players. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
