Clarence Washington Sr. said that the tenants of “our founding documents are self-healing,” He is the author of a new four-book series called Hijacked: How Dr. King’s Dream Became a Nightmare.  In Volume-4: “The Recovery,” he says, “The weeds have almost taken control of the garden because the watchmen on the walls, the pastors and other spiritual leaders of our nation, have fallen into a spiritual stupor—knowingly or unknowingly supporting the hijackers. And so, in many cases, because of the lack of discernment by the church, the hijacking political-social-civil activists and liberal-thinking religious institutions are determining the thinking of the people who claim to be the blood-bought body of Christ. A good example of this is that the majority of Black Christians who attend traditional Black churches in America are confused about the spiritual content and substance of Dr. King’s dream. They are confused about what it means and how they should apply it to their daily Christian lives and their politics in particular.” Find Pastor Clarence Washington Sr.’s books at https://clarencewashingtonauthor.com/.

Jennifer talks about shame and guilt regarding food and intentional eating in this episode. In her recent article “Freedom From Shame and Guilt,” she says, “It might be helpful to begin to understand if you have specific patterns of sin related to your eating.  For example, are you elevating your health, body, or food as more important than God? Are you overeating frequently in search of comfort or pleasure? Is your time at the gym more important than time in God’s word? Do you turn down offers for dinner with friends due to your diet restrictions? Do you walk into a room and compare your physical appearance to others in the room?

August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “We have also come to his hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is not the time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.” In this episode, Pastor and Author Clarence Washington Sr. talks about part 2 of his book “Hijacked: How Dr. King’s Dream Became a Nightmare: Volume 4, The Recovery.” He said, “People that believe the end justifies the means have a high tolerance for the pain of other people. Collateral damage is just a part of their playbook. They will do whatever it takes to make their goals a reality. Dr. King was just the opposite.” Pastor Washington believes Dr. King’s Dream teaches a Biblical approach to healing America.
