🎙️ EPISODE 7: “Sundays at Grandma’s: Church Culture 101” A nostalgic and insightful look at the traditions, wisdom, and sacred memories passed down through generations of Black church life.

This week, we’re going back—way back—to those folding chairs in the fellowship hall, the sounds of old-school choirs, and the healing that happened over sweet tea and side-eyes. Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong reflect on what we inherited, what we’re reimagining, and how we pass down a faith that’s alive, embodied, and rooted in love.

🔹 What did Big Mama’s faith get right? 🔹 What traditions still hold power—and which ones need to evolve? 🔹 How do we disciple in a fast-moving world?

We explore Psalm 145:4 — “One generation will commend your works to another…” — and unpack how to carry the fire without getting stuck in the form.

💡 Segments Include: The Cypher – Legacy, discipleship, and the sacred tension between tradition and transformation Church Chronicles – Grandma-isms, church auntie energy, and the wisdom passed down in slippers Faith in Motion – From hymns to trap gospel, journaling to storytelling—we explore how generational faith shows up in real life Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “What do I do when I feel disconnected from the church I grew up in?” The Benediction – A blessing for the baton pass, for every heart carrying the fire forward

🎧 Whether you were raised in pews or just learning the rhythm, this one will make you laugh, cry, and maybe call your grandma. Because her ceiling should be our floor—and it’s time to build higher.

🎙️ EPISODE 6: “Holy Ghost, Where You At?” Understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in personal empowerment, spiritual gifts, and the modern church.

In this powerful episode, we’re asking a question many of us have wrestled with in silence: “Holy Ghost, where you at?” From personal encounters with God’s presence to the quiet seasons where His voice feels distant, Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong dig deep into the role of the Holy Spirit in everyday life.

🔹 What do you do when God is silent? 🔹 Can you be Spirit-filled and still struggle? 🔹 How do we walk in the Spirit Monday through Saturday—not just at the altar on Sunday?

We explore Acts 1:8 and unpack what it means to receive power—not just to shout, but to serve, heal, and witness in the realest parts of life. You’ll hear personal stories, honest reflections, and practical wisdom about discerning God’s voice, using your spiritual gifts, and letting the Spirit move through the mundane.

💡 Segments Include:

• The Cypher – Holy Ghost, theology, and real talk
• Church Chronicles – Calling out spiritual gimmicks and reclaiming true empowerment
• Faith in Motion – Practical prompts on living Spirit-led
• Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “How do I know it’s God and not just my own thoughts?”
• The Benediction – A Spirit-filled sendoff that will stay with you

🎧 Whether you’re in the wilderness, on the mountaintop, or somewhere in between—this one’s for you. Because the Holy Ghost isn’t just for the altar call. He’s for the wilderness walk between Sunday’s amen and Monday’s anxiety.

🎙️ Episode 5: The Prodigal: More Than a Parable

A deep dive into the Prodigal Son story, unpacking redemption, homecoming, and God’s radical grace.

What if the story we thought was about failure… is really about the kind of love that refuses to let shame win?

In this episode of Another Altar Call: A Liberatory Cypher, we’re taking a fresh look at Luke 15 and the familiar tale of the prodigal son. Together, Dr. Malesia, Dr. Daniel, and Brittany unpack what it means to come home to God when you're still healing, still unsure, still carrying the weight of your past.

We explore:

• The difference between conviction and condemnation
• Why grace interrupts shame
• How to receive joy even while you’re still grieving
• And what it looks like to break cycles of generational trauma and finally take your seat at the table

Plus, we’re joined by a special guest, Mya Britt, bringing a powerful Gen Z voice into this multigenerational faith conversation.

Episode 2 – Jesus: The Original Bae Where faith meets intimacy, and Jesus isn’t just Savior—He’s the One who stays.

🎙️ Episode Overview: In this episode of Another Altar Call: A Liberatory Cypher, we’re unpacking what it means to see Jesus as the Original Bae. We’re reclaiming intimacy with Christ through the lens of Black culture, love, and divine connection. Is it playful? Yes. But it’s also deeply prophetic. We’re talking about how Jesus shows up when life falls apart, how His love heals where people hurt, and why He’s not just a Savior but the One who holds our heart.

✨ What We Discuss:

• The Cypher: Reimagining intimacy with Jesus through the lens of John 15:9 – “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.”
• Church Chronicles: Holy or Heartbroken? Is it a gospel lyric or an R&B love song? Get ready to laugh, shout, and be reminded that sometimes the most sacred love songs were sung in the sanctuary.
• Faith in Motion: Brittany leads a powerful conversation on what it means to bring our real, unfiltered selves to Jesus—and to be loved anyway.
• Ask the Cypher: Listener Question: “How do I know Jesus loves me when I don’t love myself?” Spoiler: His love doesn’t expire when your self-worth runs low.
