Bishop Naomi welcomes the new year with reflections on her focus for 2024. Her word for this year is Victory. "Walk it out everyday." There is a lot going on in the world and the community of faith. It may seem like all is lost but she asks, "where do you get your intel?" She gets her inspiration from Psalms 37:23-25, Jeremiah 29:11-14, and Matthew 16:24-25.

Trailer: The conversation continues between Amma Naomi and Deaconess Ruth on diversity & culture in the early church, to help acknowledge biases that have become a part of theolog. Beliefs of racial or gender inferiority and/or superiority in society are reflective of the Euro/American Christian model which conflicts with Christ’s teachings of ‘Love your neighbor’ .
Bishop Naomi & Deaconess Ruth share their thoughts on culture & Christianity in the early church years. The discussion was prompted by a televangelist’s sermon rebuking the Black church for supporting a particular candidate during this 2024 election (excerpt links referenced below). As American’s of African descent, female clergy, and businesswomen, the message impacted them on many levels. The key question, did words spoken reflect Christ?

This is a short pop up podcast to encourage listeners to continue reading and if they haven’t to join us in reading Crazy Faith by Pastor Michael Todd. Being asked to step out of the boat and walk on water in the midst of a storm is crazy. Being asked to throw a net on the other side of the boat to catch fish when you have been fishing in the same place all day is crazy. Doing what Jesus asks can make you feel like you have lost your reasoning but you are just fine!

We are all given divine gifts to share with this world. Why are we not walking fully and unapologetically in our purpose? There are many influences but one that is often overlooked or omitted is self-sabotage.
