Truth & Life Urban Ministry Brother Leon

We are in the second part of our inception series. Today we talk about why we believe in black liberation theology.

Today is a day of celebration!
We are officially going Live on the Tiktok platform!
Today's episode Brother Leon will tell the story of how Truth & Life Urban Ministry was birthed.
He will also discuss his personal experiences along the journey.

It is a new day in this ministry as we step into a progressive era in which we as a ministry will embrace the teachings of black liberation theology combined with the decolonization of our faith and the deconstruction of spiritual systems, thinking, and practices that haven't worked individually and collectively in communities of color.
Far too long have we've taken on the image, model and practice of our oppressors in our houses of worship.
Western christianity was never designed to work for us as people of color.
The strategy of the oppressor was to give you a spiritual system to enslave your mind, and body, and to have you believe that if you practice this new spiritual system the God of that system would deliver you and it would one day pay off.
It hasn't and it never will.
The people that gave you that system made a Hell for you that they'll never be afraid of.
However most of your experience in this system of christianity centers around you being afraid of going to hell, while forgetting that your oppressor has no fear of the Hell that he taught you to believe in with a slave bible.
You need something that has to work for you, because this right here, this western system isn't working for us as a people.

There is a price to infidelity.
Listen to this message and know the dangers, and ask yourself is the cost worth what it took years to build?

Happy Mother's Day!
We have a treat for you on this episode.
We have a joke by a phenomenal woman and content creator Ariel Fitzpatrick!
We also end the message with the best song by the group Boyz 2 Men, A Song For Mama.
We do not own the copyrights, but download this single and follow Ariel Fitzpatrick on IG and Tiktok.
Woman Be Not Afraid!
God is with you and you are the gift.

Part two of our marriage series focuses on what it means to make a wedding vow and fulfilling it.
Too many times we prepare for the ceremony but not the life after the ceremony.
The goal in marriage is to fulfill the vow of what you desired, which was marriage.
Cultivate the relationship and the marriage will flourish.
