Where Should Black Christian Families Live? —I.A.G. Farms

Should Black Men Take Over the Trades? —Part 2: The Door Is Open

In Part 1, I went through the history of how Black men relied on the trades for freedom and how we let those skills go.  Now, I want to talk about why I think it’s important for us—and our sons and nephews—to get back to carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other trades.  If you were … Read more

Eshon Burgundy shares a message on submission from 1 Peter 3

I hate to think how many women have sat in church pews hearing a stern message about submission only to go home and have their husbands physically and emotionally abuse them,  citing those same verses.
