Customer Reviews
Nicely Done!
Body image and the gospel episode was well done. I’m 63 and gleaned from it. Thanks!
Fantastic podcast
I love this podcast. It feels like I’m having a conversation with people about topics that matters so much to me. I especially love that they highlight important topics like gentrification even if they/we don’t have all the answers of how to fix the issue.
Admiration
These young people deserve the respect of peers and all those older. They clearly have a heart to leave His footprints in the sand as the certainly seek His guidance.
However, their immaturity and age bias does mar the discussion. In this case, they seem to not understand that the police had every legal right to utilize the no knock warrant and did so correctly. Tragic to have to learn the ramifications of such a warrant and more tragic that citizens were so desperate for protection it’s use was passed. As well, they totally diminished the destruction of homes, businesses, and lives as these RIOTS were approved by the same people crying foul by the police. These were not protests; they were riots and were allowed because of race all while other citizens could not congregate even in small groups at a church. These groups were terrorists with some literally shipped in and paid to be there. Like so many, these podcasters needed to do objective research.
What about the reason she was addicted to this loser boyfriend that kept her in harm’s way.
My heart remains heavy for a beautiful life cut short; but know the facts; don’t rely on what the mainstream media flushes into minds. And look through the lens of officers on such a beat.
This was NOT about race or overstepping bounds; it was about protecting an area from a thug that cared only for himself.
