  • The Real Reason for Black Violence: Culture, Not Racism

    The Real Reason for Black Violence: Culture, Not Racism
    Jun 28 2026
    In this raw and unfiltered episode, Monique and Kevin pull back the curtain on the real reason behind the tragic levels of violence in Black communities: culture, not racism. They confront the hoodwink that has trained generations to ignore self-inflicted wounds, while erupting in outrage only when a White person or police officer is involved.

  • Fathers Are the Missing Pillars of the Black Community

    Fathers Are the Missing Pillars of the Black Community
    Jun 21 2026
    Happy Father’s Day! In this special re-release episode of Off Code, we revisit our powerful conversation from three years ago with Pastor and author Brian Shannon, author of Missing Pillars: America’s Black Fatherless Crisis and How the Christian Church Helped Me Overcome It. Brian unpacks the historical strength of Black two-parent families post-slavery, the “perfect storm” of 1960s cultural and policy shifts that drove fatherlessness from 25% to over 70% in two decades, and the real human cost when fathers are absent. He shares his personal testimony of growing up fatherless and how the gospel and the church restored him. Whether you’re a dad, single parent, or community leader, this conversation challenges victimhood and calls us toward personal responsibility and flourishing. Grab Missing Pillars and join the discussion. Off Code #81 Season 5, Episode 11

  • Black Baptist Leaders Warned About Marxism Decades Ago

    Black Baptist Leaders Warned About Marxism Decades Ago
    Jun 14 2026
    Before the marches, before the movements, there was a battle. And most of us were never taught who fought it or who lost. Monique and Kevin sit down with Dr. Karen Ellis, theological ethicist and researcher at The Center for Christian Endurance, to uncover the largely erased story of Black Baptist leaders who recognized Marxist ideological pressure for what it was and refused it. The painful irony Dr. Ellis's research surfaces is this: what the Black church once bled to keep out has now largely been welcomed in, dressed in justice language and preached from Black pulpits as if it were gospel. This is not merely a history lesson. It's a warning and a call. Off Code #80 Season 5, Episode 10
