With election season upon us, we thought it would be good to talk about the importance of voting. Many people participate in national elections but don’t always realize the importance of participating in local elections. Inez Bordeaux educates the TASM crew on the impact of having a voice in local government. Inez is an abolitionist, a nurse and a community organizer that works to combat the criminalization of poverty and state violence, especially in communities of color.

What's on your playlist?  Music is an essential part to every society. Even the Bible is full of music. In the Bible you will find songs of praise, lament, victory, etc. As believers, we know that Philippians 4:8 tell us to dwell on or think about things that are true, noble, right and pure. Even though it was not specifically talking about music, it can definitely be used as a guide on the content of our music preferences. In this episode, the TASM crew talks about the music culture of today, and tackles the question of does it matter what kind of music we listen to regularly.

Purity culture, today, is labeled as antiquated, unnecessary, and even traumatic for some. As Christians, we believe sex was designed by God to be enjoyed between husband and wife. However, the voices of the culture are promoting a different message, that everyone should experience sex before marriage and even have a “promiscuous phase.” In this episode, the TASM crew shares their thoughts on this provocative topic.

In this episode, the TASM  crew dives into the complexities of faith deconstruction, a popular term in modern Christianity. It is defined as the breaking down or analyzing of one's faith practices and beliefs to determine their truthfulness. When one deconstructs their faith, they are seeking to understand why they believe what they believe, or in some cases determine if they really believe at all. Join us as we discuss what deconstruction has looked like in the past, share our personal testimonies, and give some helpful tips on how to navigate it.

In today’s episode, TASM addresses the subject of generational curses, those familial habits that are passed down through generations that are opposite of God’s way.  The TASM crew opens the episode with a discussion about Kirk Franklin’s viral YouTube’s documentary, Father’s Day, and then are very transparent about some of their own experienced generational curses and/ or blessings to identify  some common generational curses and some practical and biblical ways to identify and break them.
