The silence of the pews is deafening!!!!!!

In this provocative episode of #BIFRadio, we sit down with The American Psychological Association and Mental Health America (MHA) as they dismantle the "Great Disconnect" currently fracturing the modern church. Why do so many "regular" Christians—across both mainstream and Black denominations—seem comfortable with the machinery of ICE and mass deportation?

NIMH and Child Mind Institute pull no punches as they expose the three psychological and theological "shields" used to justify the unjustifiable:

• The Idol of Law: Why a narrow reading of Romans 13 is being used to bypass the "Law of Love."

• The Myth of Scarcity: How the "Fear of the Drain" has replaced the Biblical promise of abundance.

• Sacramental Borders: The dangerous rise of a theology that treats man-made lines as divine decrees.

From the echoes of the Fugitive Slave Act to the modern-day sanctuary movement, this episode is a clarion call for believers to stop being an "annex of the state" and start being a sanctuary for the "Image of God."

It’s time to decide: Does your theology serve the Empire, or does it serve the Exile?

In this classic and powerful message, the late Billy Graham explores the intersection of history, archaeology, and the enduring authority of the Bible. While the modern world often looks to the future for answers, Graham reminds us that the keys to understanding our present—and our destiny—are hidden in "ancient facts" that Western society has increasingly pushed to the margins.

Is the Bible just a relic of the past, or is it a living document that predicted the very cultural shifts we see today? Graham peels back the layers of secularism to reveal a Biblical Truth that is as provocative now as it was when first spoken. This episode isn't just a history lesson; it's a wake-up call for a world searching for a foundation that won't shake.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why the "Ancient Facts" of Scripture remain the most scientifically and historically reliable guide for life.

• A deep dive into the specific truths the West has "forgotten" in the pursuit of modernism.

• Billy Graham’s signature call to return to the Gospel as the ultimate source of clarity and hope.

• The Reliability of the Word: Understanding the archaeological evidence that supports Biblical claims.

• The Western Shift: A look at how Western culture has drifted from its foundational truths.

• The Eternal Relevance: Why these "forgotten" facts are the only solution to modern-day anxiety and confusion.

How do we provide genuine care in a world designed to marginalize?

In this powerhouse episode of #bifradio, we sit down with three leading voices in the field of psychology and social justice: Evan Auguste, PhD, Hector Adames, PhD, and Krista Edwards, PhD. Together, they dismantle the myth that mental health care can ever be "neutral" or "apolitical."

The conversation dives deep into the complex architecture of systemic oppression and its direct impact on communal healing. From the lecture hall to the therapy room, our guests explore what it truly means to intervene when the structures meant to support us are the very ones causing harm. This isn't just a clinical discussion—it’s a roadmap for transformative, justice-oriented care that honors the lived experiences of those at the margins.

In this episode, we explore:

• The psychological toll of systemic inequality and how to address it in practice.

• Moving beyond "cultural competence" toward radical liberation.

• Practical strategies for clinicians and advocates to integrate social justice into their care models.

• The power of storytelling in reclaiming agency within "Your Story, Our Station."

This Black History Month, we’re going beyond the Sunday morning pulpit to uncover the raw, unfiltered legacies of the legends who built the foundation of Gospel music. ((REPLAY))

Behind every iconic hymn and powerhouse vocal lies a complex story of triumph, struggle, and hidden truths. In this special series, we explore the "secret lives" and profound histories of the top 15 greatest Gospel artists of all time.

We aren’t just talking about the music; we’re talking about the revolutions they started and the personal battles they fought while shaping the sound of a nation.

From the "Godmother of Rock and Roll" to the "Crown Prince of Gospel," we’re diving deep into the archives of:

• The Pioneers: Sister Rosetta Tharpe & Thomas A. Dorsey

• The Innovators: Billy Preston, Rance Allen, & Alex Bradford

• The Architects: James Cleveland & Donald Vails

• The Dynasty: The Hawkins Family (Walter & Tramaine) and the Crouch Family (Andraé & Sandra)

• The Voices of Change: Yvette Flunder and more.

Gospel music is the heartbeat of Black history. By understanding the "real" history of these artists, we honor their full humanity—not just their stage presence. Join us for a journey through the soul of the culture.
