    A Wellness Check: A Discussion of the Trump Administration & More

    We kick off Black History Month talking politics in this week's edition of the podcast. In fact, we are doing "A Wellness Check" for all of our listeners, as we are approaching the second year of the Trump Administration. We begin in the first segment talking about the recent I.C.E. murders of Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, along with several others, just within the past 30 days. We also give the Trump Administration a grade for the lackluster job that they have been doing since being in office. And, taking a look at the "No King" Protests that were taking place last summer, and the one this coming up in March, and asking the question, especially of those who voted for Trump back in November, what has changed about their view of him from then and now. We believe that there are many people who voted for him that have "buyers remorse" and they are upset, because they aren't getting what they were promised from Trump, and now they want to take it to the streets. We've posted the video for this episode on our Thinking Out Loud Radio and TV Youtube Channel, so check it out and feel free to drop your comments there and we will be responding to each one of them. PLUS, we've got a dynamic Thought of the Week that we've entitled, "The Big If" where we talk about the divine partnership that we have with God in the fulfillment of our purpose and destiny. That, God sometimes partners with us in order for us to receive blessings from Him. God's has an expectation of us, that requires our participation in this divines process. The questions is, what are you going to do? We ask this question and a lot more in this week's "Wellness Check" Edition of the Thinking Out Loud Radio Show.

    We Are Back!

    In 1995, after a short hiatus from the Chicago Bulls to play baseball, Michael Jordan made his triumphant return to the game with just two words, "I'm Back!" And, in this same fashion we are returning to this familiar platform after a few months of transition to utter a similar phrase, "We Are Back!" Of course, your are probably wondering where we've been over the past few months, our last podcast episode was the last week in February of this year. In this episode, we felt it was necessary to bring our listeners up to speed on what's been going on, where we've been and what's next for the podcast. I can assure that we are back and intend on continuing with this God-given platform that has been a blessing to so many for over eight years. Let me thank all of you for your prayers and support of the show over these past eight years. Your listenership as well as your prayers are greatly appreciated. And to those who have given us a word of encouragement over the years to continue, we thank you, and we hope that our return will brighten not just your day, but your week. Tell a friend, to tell a friend, to tell a friend, that the Thinking Out Loud Radio Show is back on the air, and we are looking forward to what God has in store. So, sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage, and tune in to this week's episode, as we endeavor to inspire you, uplift and empower you to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
