What’s the social difference between a public housing project today in New York City and a 19th century plantation in Mississippi?

Faith requires poverty. The more impoverished and sick the better. Mother Teresa built a small empire on the suffering of others. World leaders responsible for the suffering used her as a dodge against their duty to lead for all humans. Why should government do anything to help the poor? Teresa was helping them get a ticket to heaven through their suffering.

A world with less poverty would mean a rise in healthier families and more relational health in our respective communities!

I shoveled my neighbor’s driveway this morning after watching this

A world with less poverty would mean a fundamental shift in society occurred where we see each other as more than a number.

Excellent interview. Good questions with thoughtful responses.

I loved this conversation around the root causes of poverty and the role a neighborhood can play. I particularly appreciated David Brooks' story around his experience being embraced by a loving community during a low point in his life, and also how he's wrestled with the complexities of how best to be generous. I'm going to check out weave! I also hear Matthew Desmond's call to "take a beat" and think about how changes in our consumption can make a difference.

As a former semenarian, it's lovely to hear a sincere inclusion of faith in the context of social economics and hyper-individualism. Thank you for giving me a bit more to be optimistic about today. 👍🏾

Jesus failed. Capitalism has filled. A lot of the problem is that so many people can read the Bible and conclude that there is an invisible Father in the sky who is all powerful and is looking out for us.

You can’t build a mega church by healing the sick and feeding the poor. The most morally bankrupt people I know sit in the better than you pews.

A world with less poverty would mean an opportunity for everyone to flourish! At minimum, that means all of us becoming more aware and committing ourselves to opening doors to create opportunity--especially the church.

Loved the book and plan to add it to our Kidsrock collection. A few more suggestions "This is the Church" by Sarah Raymond Cunningham "God's Beloved Community" by Michelle Sanchez

Black Spiritual Songs, by Prof. Tom Baskett: th-cam.com/video/mQYxZQAql1Q/w-d-xo.html

First lie. Black Hebrews. Not biblical. No Holy city was in Africa . We did not start out in Africa. There are few reference pertaining to Africa in my bible. Because God's chosen people were in the Middle East. Look in Bible the location of the garden. Any black saying black Israelies. Calls God a liar. Here's how. We see white Israelites in the promise land. Which God gave His chosen people for all generations. These disgruntled denying blacks. Say God allowed whites to kick His black Israelies out of the promise land. Steal their birth right identity. Bull with a capital S. You do not know God. As a true believer . I know if my God wanted black Israelies. We would see black Israelies. We don't. Never were black Israelies. . Africa has no major part in bible history.

This is great! Thank you Tom, this was so beautiful and uplifting!

Whew! SOOOO good. Thank you Professor, what a rich message of truth. Honestly best I heard/saw in 2024!! Alleluia!

also, Wade in the Water

Such a new way of seeing God, thank you Professor Baskett!

"Strong: Psalm 1" by Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago! Love the illustrations and how the authors depict what a deeply rooted life in God looks like!

I hadn't realized it until Prof. McCaulley mentioned it, but finding a justice oriented children's book is surprisingly hard! The only one on my kid's shelf was "Ruby Bridges Goes to School". Fortunately now I have another!

"The deliverer has come" by Shin Maeng and Sarah Shin

Interesting perspective from Andy Johnson. Good questions from Scott Rice

Excuse my ignorance but in Bible times there was no country of Africa nor was there any place called America. The title is beyond deceptive.

Africans were Christian before Europeans, before the scriptures were written and canonized , before America.

Seeing so many of my peers walk away from the faith because of this story is why I have committed my life to telling it in its entirety. These facts of history are unspeakable in their sadness. I think it’s important for our people however to also know that this faith belongs to us too, that our ancestors worshiped Christ 100s even thousands of years before the Portuguese arrived on the continent . We built kingdoms in the name of Christ. We need to know that part along side this information. Amazing video!

In Deuteronomy chapter 28 kjv what people fits those characteristics.

This 71-year-old white guy was blown away by the message from Pastor Gee. He opened my eyes to the true impact of slavery in America, Africa, and aboard the slave ships. What gave me tremendous hope was understanding the resilience of Black Christians as a model for my walk with Jesus today. My problems pale in comparison to those of Black brothers and sisters subjected to inhuman conditions described by Dr. Gee.

There's a profound difference between saying someone is a demon and saying someone is influenced by demonic forces. One carries anger and the other carries compassion despite displays of aggression. That's what saying we're not fighting against flesh and blood but powers and principalities means. .

It wasn't about language. They were commissioned to recieve the spirit and then go! So I believe that on the day of Pentecost when God poured out his spirit, the 120 that were there began to speak in a language that they didn't normally speak in signifying that they had been filled the power or the holy ghost from on high. Go back to the commission that Jesus gave them before he accented. He told them to preach the gospel to every living creature, but first go to the city of Jerusalem and wait for the power.

Excellent podcast! Listening to Sarah and Shin describing the book, definitely made me want to read the book. Scott did a great job narrating with good questions. I plan to purchase the book for my grandchildren and church library.
