Millennials - Part IV
The wrap of the series focused on hearing from a segment of the population that doesn't get much airtime. Aaron McNeill takes us home with wisdom, truth, and grace as we lean into his perspective on the events of this past year, and as we gear up for the election of 2020. This NC A&T State University senior illuminates his experiences in a way that is uniquely different from the other guests. Enjoy our conversation!
Millennials - Part III
Millennials - Part II
On part II of this series, I have the opportunity to sit with former student, Joshua Flowers, and discuss the unique challenges during this season. Politics, global pandemic, racial tension, and Christian fellowship are all discussed in this episode. Lean in and heed the wisdom of a very observant young man that brings forth an insight on the times with a fresh, godly perspective.
Millennials - Part 1
The kick-off episode to season 2 of TBSD, I am excited to introduce the series The Black Sheep Dialogues - Millennials. Starting this 4-part series is Alison Larson, college student, artist, friend, and former student of mine sharing wisdom with us in this unique season. In her words, "Listening is free." I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed conducting the interview with this young, well of wisdom!
Invisible People - Jamila Henry - Back By Popular Demand
Jamila and I are back for part two of our conversation! Chock full of wisdom and some humor to lighten the load!
This concludes season 1 of The Black Sheep Dialogues.
In The Meantime
Honest Conversations With Another Black Sheep
This week I've invited fellow co-laborer in the ministry, Jamila Henry, to the pod to share her perspective as the "only" in the room. She is uniquely positioned in the space that she finds herself and uniquely qualified to do the work, but she is the only one like her "in the room where it happens." We discuss the similarities of being the only ones like us in these organizations and what that experience teaches us.
