Pass The Mic

“The real problem with the Black community is fatherlessness”. If you’ve ever heard that, this podcast is for you. Jemar and Tyler are back to confront the myth of absent Black fathers. This episode covers the history of the myth, how communities of color raise their kids, and a word of appreciation for their own fathers being present in their upbringing.

“Why don’t you care about the abortion that’s happening in your own community?”

“You talk about lynching and slavery but abortion takes more black lives every day”

(sigh) If you’ve ever heard (or said) statements like these, this episode is for you. Jemar and Tyler are back to tackle the elephant in the room. Tune in for a candid conversation on the history of abortion views in the American church, the problems with the church’s approach to the conversation, and what a prophetic imagination ultimately looks like. This is not for the faint of heart (Y’all know how we do at Pass the Mic), but we hope it challenges you to move beyond the caricatures you’ve heard to a more consistent public witness.

Cultural Artifacts is our version of a Top Ten list for the year.
G. Tyler Burns and Jemar Tisby are back for part two.

This time we’ve got a few albums, some books, and a variety of movies and television shows you’ll want to check out right away!

As always, the rules remain the same: these artifacts don’t have to be new.

They just have to be consumed this year. The things that steadied us. Challenged us. Made us feel more human in a year that demanded a lot.

Don't forget to listen to Part 1: https://youtu.be/pFaTdC9-fUQ

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

No. I’m not talking about Christmas (that’s wonderful, too).

Cultural Artifacts!!!

For longtime PTM listeners, this will feel like slipping into a familiar groove.

As always, the rules remain the same: these artifacts don’t have to be new.
