The GodSquad Podcast

The Role of Faith in Government and its Implications for the New Administration - local, state and federal.

History accounts the rise of the Black Church out of the ashes of slavery to a place of prominence as we strive for an egalitarian society today. In the midst of a global pandemic, racial injustice, the great divide over the COVID-19 vaccine, join our panel for a conversation on the role of the Black church as essential and a beacon and spring of hope to guide and uplift the people during these challenging times.”

An overview of 2020, highlighting the major events: Covid-19 pandemic and the startling number of deaths,  the summer of George Floyd, an increase in gun violence and domestic violence, food insecurity, job loss, elections...and their impact. Here what the GodSquad has done as a response as we charter the way forward in 2021.

In the midst of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and a racism pandemic, our city is plagued with the public health epidemic of gun violence and other violent crimes. However, we will not lose hope. We will continue to fight to end gun violence and take over our streets. We invite you to join our  striking conversation.

Gun violence, domestic violence and police harassment are all on the increase as the tide of COVID-19 shifts towards a decrease in NYC. Recent statistics paint a ghastly image of the current reality despite social distancing. How do we address this trend and recurrent pattern as we prepare for the "new normal"?  Join the faith leaders in conversation as they discuss, "The Ebb and Flow of Violence in the Wake of COVID-19".   

The news, the shock, the grief, the isolation, the loneliness...all parts of the complex puzzle in coming to the reality of death due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The numbers are alarming and the daily increase is causing tension and anxiety among the people.  Hear from the faith leaders as they navigate through this complexity and  provide insight on how to deal with the loss.

The coronavirus and its reach is of biblical proportion.  This is a crisis we have never experienced in our lifetime.  People are experiencing fear, anxiety and uncertainty and are in need of reassurance that they can get through this.  Now is the time to hear from voices who care and can bring a clear perspective as to the times we are living.

The voice of our faith leaders voice needed now more than ever before. Beyond the Headlines with Pastor Gil Monrose and co-hosts Pastor Louis Straker and Dr. Charles Galbreath will provide solid biblical commentary on major headline news and current trends. This podcast is created to bring hope, clarity and resolve during the COVID-19 pandemic and the lifelong after effects that will impact the world.
