Christopher M. Garris has a candid conversation with W. Dale Padgett, Sr., of Iron Life Ministries, and Rev. Dr. Onika T. Brown, of Kingdom Empowerment Center, in this 2-part series about the effects of religion on the global community as a whole, particularly in the black community. Listen, as they handle the hard truth about religion vs. relationship, manipulation, tithing, growth and development, and other key issues in the church.

Christopher M. Garris discusses the historic true weaponization of the criminal justice system, his perspective as a black Republican, and introduces us to the "Blacks;" an African-American couple, both of whom are veterans, one totally disabled, facing years of imprisonment for a questionable, alleged crime. We will follow this story closely and compare their eventual sentence to the sentencing received by wealthier, more powerful individuals.
