“Wholy Holy” by Aretha Franklin
Music impacts our mood in significant ways, so we seek different songs for different reasons. Sometimes even to give us sanctuary.
For Day 4 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the most peaceful song you've ever heard.
**Today's prompt was submitted by congregation member Joannie Hayes.

“The Boss” by Diana Ross
You ever hear a song or watch a video and wish you could have experienced it in context? Music can act as a time portal, even making us nostalgic for a time we didn’t even know.
For Day 3 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge share a song that makes you wish you were born in a different era.

Some songs hit your spirit in such a real way that they feel like gospel - even if it's hood gospel.
For Day 2 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the song(s) that are basically negro spirituals for you.

It’s a toss up between “Square Biz” by Teena Marie, or “Be Thankful For What You Got” by William DeVaughn. But I think I’ll go with the latter.
We're kicking this year off with something seasonally appropriate: For Day 1 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share your cookout anthem(s)

I’m worried now. I haven’t heard from the vendor in over a week and they haven’t sent me a quote they said they were going to provide a week ago.
I sent 2 follow-up emails, and have reached out to other vendors now. 😬 Can’t put all my eggs in one basket.

While I thoroughly enjoyed Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS, I wish there was more a backstory on the vampires.
Hey Ryan! 👋🏾 Can we get a prequel on the vampires?

I’m a sucker for a good musician biopic. And Joan Baez would be a good one.

Can We Have More Female Musician Biopics, Please?
After Oppenheimer, I wondered if there'd ever be a day in which Jean Tatlock would get a feature film of her own. After seeing A Complete Unknown, I can't help but think the same of Joan Baez.

These are for people who have been made to feel as though they're wrong, or like you said, What makes me different? Have I changed, have they always been this way.
Both of these books(25 yrs apart) look at reasons why conservative christian churches fail to integrate, w helpful case studies.

Particularly for Christian students starting religious studies:
The character of "Satan," a single malevolent entity, doesn't appear in Hebrew Bible, because that concept didn't exist in the near east until at least a century after the Septuagint translation into Greek.

What’s something that’s a banal observation in your field, but which really blows students’ minds the 1st time they encounter it?
I’ll go 1st—when we talk about how technological history gets narrated & I say "no human being has ever lived in a historical period—they’ve only lived in the present"

I’ve never been for the death penalty because I don’t believe in taking a life (isn’t that in the Bible?).
A California prosecutor who says he is “disillusioned” with the death penalty is attempting something unprecedented: ensuring every death row case within his jurisdiction is reclassified to life in prison without parole.
Judge rejects California DA's request to change mass shooter's death sentence to life without parole
A hearing in the case of Richard Farley, who was convicted in a 1988 workplace shooting, was part of Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s push to void death sentences.

Instead of clearing customs after a trip abroad, a legal U.S. resident was thrown into ICE detention, stripped naked, denied food and medication, and left to suffer.
His crime? A flagged green card over a dismissed misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in California, where marijuana is legal.
