  • 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.

  • The Industry of Church

    The Industry of Church
    Feb 14 2025
    By 2034, the global health and wellness market is projected to reach $9.94 trillion. If someone were to do the math, what would the global church "market" be projected to reach? You've probably never considered church to be an industry, but for centuries, people have used the gospel for capital gain. Remember, it was because of the money changers, that Jesus tied together a whip and began turning over tables in the synagogue. So then what do we make of our churches today? Have we lost the heart of sunday service, or are the lights, camera, action really necessary for today's church goer? We talk about all this and more in this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy!

  • The Gospel of Kendrick Lamar

    The Gospel of Kendrick Lamar
    Jan 28 2025
    From Big 3 to Big Me, Kendrick Lamar has established himself as an undeniable force, not just in music, but in culture. After his massive hit diss record, it was clear that there are levels in this game and according to Kendrick, he's on a level on his own. With that said, he's not been silent about his spiritual journey, citing on record thoughts he's had about what people like Lecrae and Dee1 would do understand certain circumstances in the music industry, and it's to experiences like that and others that we have a conversation around today on the Unsilent Church podcast. Enjoy.
