Southside Rabbi

What's going on, family?! This week we sit down with the legendary Dr. Eric Mason. Y'all better strap in and hold onto your butts for this one! Here we talk with Dr. Mason about the origins of "deconstruction", or renovating faith, that has recently become a prevalent topic in Christian communities, especially in America. KB illustrates the importance of trusting God's promises and goodness, and Dr. Mason shows us where and how the first deconstruction happened in the Bible.

What's good, family?! This week we sit down with a very special guest, YB, a very gifted and driven Christian rapper out of Arkansas. We had a great time getting to hear his vision and heart for God, his appreciation for his wife, and his testimony of attending the 2013 Passion conference, which God used to change his life! Ameen also shares a little known fact he and YB have in common, and KB shares about prizing the women in our lives. Full episode on all audio platforms, and full video on our Patreon community!!

KB also shares the story of his first time hearing "Grenade" from Bruno Mars, Ameen explains how conversions to Christ are not always "neat and buttoned up", and Flame talks on how this is God's world, much bigger than any of our black and white categories of "sacred/secular".

Southside Tribe, y'all better buckle up for this one! This time around, we caught up with our guy, Dr. Neil Shenvi, aka Big Daddy Neil, aka The Muffin Man, and had a lively discussion about reconciliation, the gospel of Christ, concerns about CRT, and how some people use Dr. Shenvi's work as a weapon! As some of you may know, Dr. Shenvi is a figurehead praised (and not praised) by many in evangelical circles, and there are some ideas we challenge each other on via social media. This session was recorded in August 2020, and was originally intended as exclusive content for our patrons, but we've decided to release it as a 'bonus' episode for our extended audience. Enjoy!

Yo, Southside Tribe! Welcome to the next episode of our CRT to the glory of God series! First and foremost, thank you all for rocking with us this season as we intend to influence the culture to love God and neighbor better! In this episode, we have the dynamic tag team, Dr. Nathan Cartagena and Bradly Mason back with us to do a full-out masterclass on some primary sources, court cases, defining terms, responses to allegations, and all the while, pushing us to be Christ-like, merciful, and to seek the God of mercy Himself! Pull up Google and hold on tight!

What's going on, family?! Welcome back as we continue our series on critical race theory, to the glory of God! This time we are joined by our brother Dr. Nathan Luis Cartagena of Wheaton College, as he parses through some of his experiences as a Puerto Rican and Caucasian man in America, as well as his introduction to CRT. Dr. Cartagena also shares intimate details of his relationship with his Southern grandmother, who was raised and 'discipled ' in the Jim and Jane Crow era, as well as his desire for believers to depend on Holy Spirit to guide and shape us in ways that will make us better lovers of Christ and neighbor. Disclaimer: this is not an apologetic for CRT. We are not proponents of the discipline of Critical Theory, or any of its counterparts. We are defenders of truth, wherever it may be found. Hold on to your butts!!

What's going on, family?! This is Part 2 of our series engaging CRT to the glory of God, featuring our brother Bradly Mason, who has actually spoken with and studied several of the founders of CRT, and will prayerfully bring some clarity to this big mess of a "culture war" out here in the streets. Here we discuss much about Voddie Baucham's recent book 'Fault Lines', as well as the many misconceptions equating those thinking and talking about 'social holiness', with walking away from faith in Christ. Bradly also shares an exclusive story about how Ameen helped shape his own change of heart towards these issues years ago! Buckle up!

Southside Tribe, welcome to our series! If you've had your ear to the street in any regard, you have probably heard the term, Critical Race Theory. There is a recent push by the mainstream American church to demonize anything that concerns racism, white supremacy, or diversity, by calling it "CRT". And in doing so, they are grossly misrepresenting (in some cases, outright lying on) the scholars who originated the discipline. The purpose of this series is namely to inform the confused, and equip allies who see and understand Jesus' heart for the marginalized and oppressed in any society. Disclaimer: this is not an apologetic for CRT. We are not proponents of the discipline of Critical Theory, or any of its counterparts. We are defenders of truth, wherever it may be found. We are joined by brother Isaiah Thompson from Rapzilla for this first convo! Come rock with us!!

What's going on, family?! We recently had a dope convo with our bro, Ruslan, the Armenian entrepreneur and rapper, who is a Christian, and also a Christian rapper (y'all should get that). He even canceled his meeting with Trump to meet with us! We discuss some of the 'hot takes' from Ruslan's own podcast, the wisdom that Jesus taught, the Christian hip-hop movement: its recent history and new trajectory. So come rock with us, and then go run up "Church Clap"!!

Southside Tribe! The hits just keep coming, as we continue this season with Satanic Panic! We begin with the recent super-controversial release of Lil Nas X's music video and sneaker, that were "laced" with abundant, sensational demonic imagery. We move on to answer the oft-asked question, "What's up with the skull?!", and tackle superstition, how to get wisdom, Galatians Chap 5, and the real mission of Satan. Grab your bible and press play!

What up, family?! The long-awaited next episode is finally here! And on our brand new set! This time we are addressing some of the aftermath and verdict of the murder trial of former officer Derek Chauvin, as well as a recent push to demonize the discipline of empathy for neighbor, namely surrounding the death of George Floyd. Come rock with us as we look to the Scriptures and seek God's counsel on the matter! Hold on to your butts!

What up, family?! In this episode, we sit down with author and professor, Dr. Esau McCaulley! We had an encouraging and hilarious time discussing his book "Reading While Black", as well as touching on God's Word, the experience of Jesus on Earth, social location, and many aspects detailed in the book. So cook you up some grits (however you like it), hit the play button and rock with us!

What up, family?! We had an absolute blast catching up with our brother Tedashii recently. In this episode, we discuss the tragic loss of Tedashii's son Chase, the ongoing healing process, as well as the triumphs that have blossomed from this new-normal. We also touch on some of the pitfalls of the Christian music industry, dive in to God's Word, and the ambience of social media. Even so, the laughs and the soundboard are almost non-stop! Come rock with us!

What's up, family?! We have some important questions to discuss this episode! Namely, has the civic religion of American Christianity become a worthless replica of the original? Does the Big Bicep Curling Machine really give you Schwarzenegger-sized biceps in 15 minutes? Is the English language superior to Spanish? Does "success cover a multitude of sins?" Rock with us and dig through the Scriptures to find out!

Enjoy this Southside Rabbi special with author, activist, and former NFL player Benjamin Watson!

Hey, family! Come rock with us as we dissect this debacle that was the Capitol Siege, during an important Congress session!

What's up, family! Hold onto your butts as we debrief the aftermath of this wild and controversial election season, fraught with everything from political gang banging to voter fraud conspiracies. Pastor Sho 'N Go gives an overview of the State of the Union, KB has some sobering words for "cancel culture", and we address Romans 13 in honoring and praying for our elected leaders. Ameen closes with a heartfelt prayer that helps point the true believer to the Lord of all, as we keep it moving, as a nation and a people. Disclaimer: We, on Southside Rabbi, did not endorse or vote for either candidate.

What's going on, family! Continue holding onto your butts as we delve a bit further into the hot topics of politics in the life of believers, the inception of the "Evangelical" voting block, and abortion. In this upcoming election season, we want to continue to equip our listeners with the mind of Christ, who literally said, "My Kingdom is not of this world". So as we survey the landscape of our nation and engage numerous circles, let us see through the eyes of Jesus, and not simply a political stance. As always, thank you for rocking with us!

Hold on to your butts! This might be a bumpy one! In this episode, we are discussing issues surrounding diversity and how we as Christians should approach it in our country, even though some people may believe it is "un-American." We briefly touch on the killings of several unarmed people of color earlier this year, as well as the BLM organization and a short history of racism and colorism in the world at large. But with all that said, don't forget to check out eZReaderBible.com!! 😉

What's good, family? Have you ever suspected your neighbors might be aliens in disguise? Or swore the dentist put a GPS tracker in your gums? How about thinking Obama is the Anti-Christ?! In any case, you might want to check out this new episode! Here we dive into the polarizing topic of conspiracy - approaching it biblically, culturally, and as always, hilariously!

Have you ever been "tried" and the culprit expects you to overlook it over because you are a follower of Jesus? Do we correctly understand the Scripture "turn the other cheek?" This first episode of our second season addresses these questions and so much more! Dive into the discussion with our brothers, and be prepared to think, study, apply, and laugh like crazy! As always, thank you for listening, and welcome back!

Are you or someone you know in danger of shipwrecked faith? Have our churches been infected with the "imma do me" mentality? The post-modern philosophies of our time have bled into many hearts in the Church, and we have recently seen many Christ-followers "turn back" in the name of "deconstruction" or exploring a different spiritual journey. KB and Ameen take the Word of God to this issue and keep it funky like always. Join us as we break down this unfortunate and all too common phenomenon.

Have you or anyone you know felt desperately lonely? Have you been in a crowd full of people and felt utterly alone? In this new episode, Kb and Ameen dive in to the multi-faceted world of friendship and biblical intimacy. The example of Jesus' relationships as well as several other figures in Scripture serve as a foundation for this engaging convo. Happy Thanksgiving!!

In this episode of Southside Rabbi, we rewind to Summer 2018 where our dear brother Keas Keasler came to visit us. We had very rich conversation around gun rights/control, pacifism vs. passivism, and even looked over Jesus' commendation for His people to be peace-makers. This is a real one!

In this episode, KB shares with Ameen the inspiration and motivation for his latest single, “Lincoln”.

In these difficult times, sometimes laughter is the best medicine. In this hilarious episode, KB and Ameen share a variety of personal experiences of trial and error… mostly error.

What would you say to the person guilty of murdering your brother? Would you seek vengeance or forgiveness? This week the nation was stunned by a remarkable display of the Gospel of grace. In this episode, KB and Ameen Hudson candidly unpack the history of the African American witness in the face of oppression and whether or not forgiveness undermines the pursuit and fight for justice.

In this episode KB and Ameen look at the future of Christian Hip-hop and discuss the state of the genre. They also talk about the impact of Kanye West, the history of Contemporary Christian Music and how movements originate and persevere.

In this debut episode, Ameen and KB discuss insights they gathered from Matthew McCullough’s recent book, “Remember Death: The Surprising Path to Living Hope”. Specifically, they converse about society’s denial of life’s finiteness, a scriptural perspective eternity, and a deconstruction of Joyner Lucas.
