There's Good News for the Hood w/ Vaughn Edmeade Good News for the Hood
-
- Religion und Spiritualität
This is a podcast by Average is Failure and The Black Seminary about the intersection of biblical theology and the black American experience. Through this podcast we hope to increase the biblical literacy and scholarship in black spaces while also celebrating and challenging black culture through the lens of the gospel.
The host, me (lol), Vaughn Edmeade, will bring you what he is learning while also reaching out to biblical scholars to help highlight things in the text that we may often overlook. We hope not merely to teach, but to equip you to engage the world in which you live. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/goodnewsforthehood/support

007. Daniel, Adam, Jesus & The Test
What is the similarity between Daniel, Adam & Eve, and Jesus?
They all were tested and their first tests were all connected to food/eating.
After a long intro (lol) I dive deeper into this idea from Daniel chapter 1.

006. Daniel & the Disinherited, Not the Daniel's Diet
In this episode I give an update on Good News for the Hood, then I dive into Daniel 1:1-8 in an attempt to find true meaning based on the author's intent and what implications it has for the black experience.
In the next episode I will discuss some of the implications of the testing by food.

005 - Dr. Carmen Joy Imes on Biblical Studies and Making Space for Women & Minorities in Biblical Scholarship
In this episode I got to speak with the highly regarded Dr. Carmen Joy Imes. Carmen has been one of the scholars that's been crucial in my own journey of biblical understanding over the past 3 years because she just seemed to keep popping up on all of my favorite scholarly podcasts. She is an Old Testament Scholar whose work on the meaning of bearing God's name and taking the Lord's name in vain has been widely recognized. You can hear some of her discussion on the topic on other popular podcast such as The Bible Project ep. 186; The Disrupters season 1 ep. 4; The Naked Bible Podcast 302 and dozens of other podcasts.
In this discussion I wanted to touch more on her own journey and other work that she finds interesting that lay people often miss. Even more, I wanted to pick up on some of the themes of inclusion and representation of women, black and brown people, and other minorities in the world of biblical scholarship. I first heard her touch on some of those ideas in her discussion with Dr. Esau McCauley on the Disrupters podcast.
