🎙️ 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.
