THE UN-SILENT CHURCH

  • Summary

  • The church was established as a society of people representing the person, work and character of Jesus; his voice to the powerful and the powerless, his presence with insiders and outsiders, and his identity as the representation of God, the reconciler of all things, and the savior and redeemer of the world. Regrettably, the church has also garnered a reputation as being silent on issues where we should’ve spoken, and being complicit among the pain for which we should have helped heal, resist and taken a stand. The church needs access points that reflect God’s true point of view about certain issues in a way that demonstrates a relational, informed and compassionate response to the things happening in our world today. Our hope is to be among the list of podcasts Christians subscribe to because of our multi-ethinic, biblically-faithful, and culturally-accurate voice on the issues people care about most.

  • Does Goodness equal Godliness?

    Does Goodness equal Godliness?
    Oct 16 2024
    In this episode of the UNSILENT Church, we address a number of issues, starting with the misconception of being a "good" Christian. In the early days when followers of Jesus were first called "Christians," it was because their actions were much clearer than those who did not follow the way. Today, is it still as easy to spot a Christian in the wild, simply by the good things they do or the kind things they say? Moreover, we also talk about the rise of megachurches, and with that, "Celebrity Christianity." Maybe more than ever before, followers of Jesus are amassing huge followings on the internet, but to an unfortunately high degree, many are falling into scandal. And it seems not to be missing very many? What does that say about the temptation that come from the authority innate within leading people? Are too many people becoming teachers and preachers? We talk about these and other issues in this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy!

  • "Who is your neighbor?" ft. Neighbors Table

    "Who is your neighbor?" ft. Neighbors Table
    Jun 25 2024
    If Jesus were to see the criminal justice system in America today, what kind of parable do you think he would tell? In this episode of the Unsilent Church, Chrystal McCowan and Joshua Coe join us from Neighbors Table, an organization that exists to equip local churches to see and serve the least among us—especially those in prison. We've done well in past years to talk and embrace the idea of reconciliation. But when it comes to justice, the conversation has been hardly embraced, if even empathized. Our hope is that this conversation brings more light to the truth that that which we have done to the least of these, we have done to Jesus, so that we when he is hungry, sick, naked, homeless or in prison, we would be there to both see him and embrace him.

  • Black History is American History ft. Gizette Knight

    Black History is American History ft. Gizette Knight
    Jun 1 2024
    Thanks for listening to the unsilent church podcast. In this episode, we have the privilege of holding a conversation with Gizette Knight, founder of the Black History Matters mural project that showcases key leaders in history who have contributed to American History in ways often overlooked. When I say the names Robert Smalls, Carter G. Woodson, or W.E.B. DuBois, Charles Harrison Mason, Richard Allen, Lemuel Haynes, Dorothy Vaughn, Percy Julian, Louis Latimer, and Otis Boykin. So much of Black History has falls through the cracks. Though it’s a necessity to call it Black History, people often forget that as it pertains to what Black people have contributed to America, it is indeed American history. From authors, military leaders, inventors, rocket scientists and pastors, Black men and women have been critical to the development of America as a nation. That’s what the Black History Matters Mural Project is all about. Gizette gives us the context of what led to its birth and how much work there’s still left to do. We talk about this and more on this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy.
