In this episode I am joined by my brother Duoshun Pledgure aka Shaun Lamott as we discuss a few things near and dear to his heart, teaching and music. First, we dive into the "Teach Us All" documentary by Ava Duvernay. As the documentary goes, we discuss the desegregation and resegregation of schools in America. Secondly, Shaun opens up about us upcoming Ep "Fragile" which will be released on all major digital outlets on 10/27/2017. He gives us insight into the inspiration behind the content and...
In this Episode Mario and I continue to connect dots. We discuss everything from reincarnation, to Nephilim, to the significance of the male and female polarity, the connection of Egyptology to American culture, the ankh and the cross, the questioning of whether or not the stories of the New Testament is based upon real people, or if it's all allegory... And much more! This easily could have went 3 hours, but I stopped this before we hit the 2 hour mark. This episode is truly a journey. Enjoy.
In this weeks episode I have my guy Mario Powell join me in the discussion of Christianity being a white man's religion. Mario believes that post council of Nicaea and other councils, the Christianity that is practiced in the world is a warped version of what it's supposed to look like. Is there a connection between Christianity and the Illuminati? Is the Roman Empire low key still alive? Join the discussion.

Is Christianity truly a white man's religion? It very well could be based upon your point of view. In this episode Emanuel and I tackle the topic primarily from an Old Testament historical perspective. Where does this story take place? Oh, Africa and the Middle East? Ok, so not England? Not France? What about Italy? No?
In this weeks episode my brother Emanuel Solomon Pierce and I take you all on a journey down Christian Hills Drive. What is Christian Hills Dr you ask? It's simply the name for our perspective of Christianity in America, our present day perspective. Hence, 2017 Christian Hills Drive... Anyway, we ask the question; what does the modern day Christian look like? What are Christians known for? What leads to the misconceptions? What should we be known for? Why is the present generation not attending ...
The Life+Times of Kendall Staples (Ep 24) by Emmanuel Williams
In this episode I am joined by my brothers Kendal Staples and Paul Grice. We have a roundtable discussion on the backdrop of another stabbing on a MAX commuter train in Portland, OR. We weigh our options to step in and defend ourselves and others versus staying out of any confrontation due to the probability of automatically being treated as the aggressor when the police show up as they respond to the scene. Not having the complexion for the protection might make a brotha think twice. Also, we d...
This week's episode is a monologue of my take on this potential boycott of the NFL due to Colin Kaepernick not being signed as a free agent. In this episode I'm taking time to step back and look at the facts of all that has transpired to get Kaep to this point. The contract that he signed in 2014, him restructuring said contract in 2016, and then him opting out of the contract this year. Furthermore, let's focus more on the constructive work that Keep is doing in poor and disenfranchised communi...
What do the The Breakfast Club and Colin Kaepernick have in common for #Summer17? There are potential boycott's surrounding them. With The Breakfast Club there has been a twitter rally stirred up by #blacklivesmatter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors, due to transphobic remarks from comedian guest Lil' Duval. As for Colin Kaepernick, leaders in the black community are rallying the masses together to boycott the NFL due to Kaep still being a free-agent. My guy @Mike.riggs88 from TheZone podcast jo...
This week's episode is a continuation of the conversation that began in Ep 19. My brother Paul Grice blessed us with the story of his life. His post high school partying, divorce, drug addiction, incarceration, and now back in society and living in sobriety. Paul's story is extremely powerful, his perseverance and positive mindset is beyond inspiring. Take some time and listen this whole conversation.
In this weeks episode my guy Paul Grice and I discuss a few things that are going on the world that touch on what this podcast likes to speak to, which are society, culture, history and religion. The questions that we run into this week are; Is artificial intelligence going to destroy human civilization as we know it? What the heck is the American Colonization Society? And last but not least, why are prominent white evangelical leaders going out of their way to voluntarily show so much support o...
Issa Fight! In this week's episode my guy Mondo and I are discussing the Floyd Mayweather v Connor Mcgregor fight and press tour. Also, the public perception of the cocky/arrogant Mayweather vs the supremely confident breath of fresh air (using air quotes there) that is Connor Mcgregor. Floyd feels like Mcgregor is jacking his swag and being praised for it, while Floyd himself gets maligned for the same actions. Furthermore, can one consider theirself patriotic and loyal your country if you are ...
In this weeks episode Philip and I tackle the topic of Marcan priority and its implication on the narrative of the gospels. Was the gospel of Mark written first of the synoptic (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) gospels? What is the significance of the order in which the gospels are written? Why do the accounts have variations of certain details of events surrounding Jesus? Why are there so many stories and theories around Tupac's life and death? Is Michael Jordan just a great basketball player? Is MJ on...
Welcome to Portland where the police come out in full force to not only protect and serve white supremacists, but work hand in hand with the white supremacist militia as well.
This week's episode brings 'The Unchurchable' series to a close. I have my guy Phil Mcnasser with me to talk through aspects of my journey of coming to a new outlook on church. As believers we all have our reasons of why we do or don't go to church. Sometimes you need to be questioned by someone outside the faith to help you have true clarity. It sure helped me.
In this weeks episode, The Unchurchable pt. II, Emmanuel delves deeper into his revelation of his unchurchability. Also, there are two types of unchurchability that he describes. They are separate, but can be connected as one identity in some cases. There will certainly be nuance to everyone's situation, and that is okay!
This lays the foundation to Emmanuel's personal journey of battling with his Christian identity and his shift in perspective of how he views church membership and the overall function/emphasis of "Church on a Sunday."
Episode 11 | www.seasonharvestbreakthrough.com | In this week's episode I am joined by my brother @lu.el.fantroy and we discuss a myriad of topics. We begin with a read & react to an article about @kendricklamar where he speaks on the redundancy of Sunday church service and empty messages coming from the pulpit in the Christian church. That's leads us down a path to ask why millennials are not attending church nearly as much as their parents generation. Also, we touch on the mixing of civil ...
Some would say that entertainers have a great responsibility to uplift their community, especially when it comes to black celebrities. In this episode of Sox & Sandals Mondo and I review an article that has been heavily reposted on social media about Kendrick Lamar. The author raises some questions about the wokeness of Kdot and begs the question of how one can be socially conscious and woke if they don't financially look out for the well being of their people? Also, this article could very ...
In this week's episode I have Mondo sitting in with me discussing my premise of racial deconstruction. He questions the need to even attempt to solve this problem that most don't see as a problem. He has mad questions for ya boy to say the least... We compare and contrast bi-racial scenarios and how their perceptions play out in society. Mainly, Tracy Ellis Ross and Rashida Jones, which was inspired by "Dear White People" on Netflix. Tune in to another dope SXSNDLS conversation.
In this episode Emmanuel makes a case for the deconstruction of how we identify folks by race in America. Race is not a biological or scientific concept. Race is, however, a lived experience and a sociopolitical construct. We delude ourselves to think that we can achieve "racial equality" some day in America. Race in America is hierarchy! There is no equality in a hierarchy. Unless we run away from racial classifications we will never have a chance to achieve equality among all Americans.
In this weeks episode Shingi and I continue our discussion on African Spirituality. We also touch on some historical aspects of European colonization in Africa and abroad, and the role that Christianity played in that process. How does one reconcile how Christianity was introduced to Africa vs the true intent and message of Christianity... Also, we juxtapose the ideas of karma vs grace.
