🎙️ 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.

📚 Book Mentioned:

Episode Overview:
What does it mean to be unapologetically Black, rooted in Christ, and deeply committed to justice? In Episode 4: "Woke, Saved, and Black," we’re naming the tension—and the truth—of living at the intersection of faith and social consciousness.

From the pulpit to the protest, from scripture to the streets, this episode explores how Black believers are reclaiming a gospel that is both liberating and unfiltered. We’re unpacking what it means to follow Jesus and speak truth to power, without losing joy, community, or our sense of self.

Special Guest:
We’re joined by Dr. Rev. James Britt, a prophetic and pastoral voice offering a multigenerational lens on activism, spirituality, and what it means to live out a faith that resists oppression and reflects Christ.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Can you be woke and Christian without compromise?

• What Jesus, the prophets, and the civil rights movement teach us about faith and resistance

• Why the gospel must be both personal and public

• How to stay spiritually grounded while fighting for justice

• What it means to lead with love without losing your prophetic edge
