Ep. 006 — Pardon Me, Pardon Me
Manage episode 157942212 series 1237976
“It ain’t that I don’t care, it’s that I don’t really care.”
-Bishop Glen A. Staples
About:
We live in a strange time, at least that’s what the story of the praise break reminds us.
It’s the tale of an ecstatic dance rooted deep in race, religion and American history. It traveled centuries of oppression and made its way to present times where it’s been rejected by today’s social elites.
Maybe because it looks crazy? Or maybe it’s dismissed because it unearths some dark reality that we’re not comfortable dealing with? You be the judge.
