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.
