Many people today are *blindly* accepting the notion that to be a "Black Christian" is an oxymoron. I say "blindly" because I'd argue that a careful consideration of the interplay between African ethnicity/identity/heritage and Christianity affords us rational grounds to affirm Christianity without undermining our "blackness". In a recent video @GarrisonHayes presents a set of concerns related to church, black history, and suffering for which some, like his interviewee Dr. Anthony Pinn, would suggest that given "Christianity's" track record with black people we shouldn't be Christians and that it might very well be the case that if God exists he likely hates black people. As I say all the time, most people are poor historians and even worse philosophers. In this video I give a very brief overview of reasons why someone can be black and have rational grounds to be a Christian. For the sake of not making a 10 hour response I've held back on some of the directions one could go in answering these questions but provided links throughout the video to resources for viewers who want to go further.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the original version of this response video I mistakenly referred to Garrison as an atheist but should have been more careful to say that he has put forth a form of argument that atheists present (ie problem of evil). The argument from evil and suffering against Christianity was then defended during this interview by well-known black atheist/secular humanist, Dr. Anthony Pinn. So with respect to Pinn, it is the case that, as I said in my intro, “atheist says black Christians need to leave Christianity alone.” I originally intended to speak more directly to Pinn’s argument but cut the video short for the sake of being concise. In doing so I framed my commentary as if Garrison were forwarding Pinn’s argument. While the response I would give to the question Garrison posed at the beginning of his video would remain the same I do apologize for mislabeling him and implying anything inaccurate about him. #thinkonthesethings and hit that play button! #urbanapologetics #Christianity #Apologetics #race

Answering life’s BIGGEST questions is not just something for super brainiac theologians to do.
In our everyday lives you never know when you might be at the barbershop, grocery store, or wherever and an opportunity might come up for you to come alongside someone to help them wrestle with difficult questions.
In this segment yours truly, Adam Coleman, is joined by Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. to breakdown a conversation that took place with rapper, Lil Scrappy, on Math Hoffa’s “My Expert Opinion” Podcast. We give evidence and answers in response to the various topics Lil Scrappy and the Math Hoffa Podcast team raise including questions about:
How and when God intervenes in our lives?
Is the Bible inspired by God and reliable?
Has Christianity been white-washed? If so, how?

In case you didn't know, when it comes to crushing false doctrine my guest, EJ "Thunder" Lauriston is not to be played with!!! In his new hard-hitting book, "Hiding In Plain Sight:The False Doctrines of Seventh-Day Adventism Vol. 1", Lauriston gives us the first installment of his series in which he takes on the false doctrine of Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA). Lauriston pulls no punches as he dismantles SDA false teaching with the Word of God, rightly interpreted. I have read Lauriston's book and fully endorse it as a resource that every disciple of Christ, apologist, minister, etc. should have on their shelf.

Is Adam Coleman becoming a prosperity preacher?!!!! Nah, fam… I will say this though. The biblical worldview has much more to offer than high-minded theological truths and philosophy. One of the ways we can help people to see the value of the biblical worldview is highlighting how it can be applied to everyday life. The Bible has plenty to say about how to manage finances in a healthy way. Unfortunately, what the Bible really says about money has often been overshadowed by shady individuals who mishandle and/or misrepresent the scriptures so they can exploit people. One of the things we talk about in this interview with my dude Steve Stack is reclaiming a healthy view of finances, giving, saving, and investing from a biblical perspective. 🔽BLOG SITE🔽 www.truidapologetics.com 🔽SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY🔽 patreon.com/adamcoleman 🔽BUY TRU-ID APOLOGETICS GEAR🔽 Http://tee.pub/lic/1AJjb3ZSz5U 🔽PODCAST ARCHIVES🔽 Www.truidpodcast.com (Also on Itunes and other podcast outlets) 🔽SOCIAL MEDIA🔽 Facebook: realadamcoleman Twitter: @scottlane7 Instagram: Truid_Podcast For Booking: [email protected] For Questions & Feedback: [email protected]

Y'all know what it is man! For anyone who has been following me or been active in the Urban apologetics community, you know there was a huge debate at Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia between Dr. Vince Bantu and Brother Jabari Osaze.
They tackled 3 main topics:
Is Christianity the White Man's religion?
Is Christianity a copy of Kemetic Spirituality? (Egyptian Myth)
Christianity or Kemet: Which One has the answer for the black community?
I caught up with Dr. Bantu for a post-debate interview that you definitely want to tune in for. We talked about his preparation for the event, thought process behind the argumentation he presented at the debate, as well as additional points that Dr. Bantu explains which provide further support for arguments he made at the debate.

Maaaan listen. Ollaudah Equiano is among my favorite figures of African/African-American history hands down. You guys are really in for a treat as we discuss the faith and life journey of Olaudah Equiano with special guest, Dr. Eric Washington, who is a historian that has specialized in studying Equiano's life! Key Points: Ollaudah Equiano’s journey from West Africa, to slavery, to being a world-changing abolitionist.

On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglas presented what is perhaps his most famous speech, which is generally titled, "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?". At the Corinthian Hall, in Rochester New York, Douglass made this speech to the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society.
Douglass is by far my favorite figure of African American history. He had a brilliant mind that certainly shined through in his writings and accomplishments as an abolitionist.
In this episode, we take a look at sections of "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" and explore what many African Americans experience as a tension between that which can be appreciated about America/American history and grappling with harsh moral realities of America/American history.
I'll attempt to draw insights from Frederick Douglas and point out how this issue may intersect with how we go about doing so called "urban" apologetics. I'm somewhat shooting from the hip in this episode.
I haven't got it all completely worked out in my thinking yet and would welcome feedback from y'all out there. Enjoy...

Waddup y’all! I had a blast doing this interview! In this episode we feature the author of “Counterfeit Charisma: The Age of False Prophets”. Dr. Woods is a renowned author and Pastor of Power of the Holy Ghost Deliverance Ministries. We’re taking deception in the church head on in this episode and giving our listeners tools to discern what is of God and what is deception. Key topics: Exposing this era of false prophets that have gained followings on TBN, Word Network, etc. Clear biblical guidelines on how to separate the real from the fake! If we’re going to defend the faith effectively we’ve got to defend it against false doctrine in the church as well

Waddup Tru-ID Familia!
A while back I taught a series at No Ceilings Bible Study on the subject of the “Problem of Evil”. For those who have been following the Tru-ID Podcast, you'll recall that I posted the first two Bible study sessions and mentioned that there would be a third.
Welp, as I was digging through some old files on my computer I realized I hadn't posted the third segment of that series. So let's get that corrected right now shall we?
In the previous two sessions we covered basics of what the “problem of evil” is and responses to the “Logical Version of the Problem of Evil”. In this next episode we will tackle the “Inductive/Evidential version of the Problem of Evil (or Suffering)”. Tune in!

Alex McElroy is an internationally known pastor, public speaker, and Christian apologist. He’s been putting in work for the kingdom and we’re glad we could catch up with him to get his thoughts on a range of topics. In this episode we chop it up with him on a range of topics including:
Topics:
Is it true that science and Christianity don't mix? Do the miracles in scripture make the Bible unbiblical? Brief exchange on Evidential and Presuppositional apologetics. The upcoming “Proof for the Truth Conference” -
For some time I've been intending to do an episode on the issue of abortion. It's an issue I've been very vocal about in the past and have recently felt compelled to re-engage in the public square.
Just a few weeks ago the national conversation about abortion sharply intensified when New York passed a bill which significantly weakened the regulations related to elective abortions particularly in regard to late term abortions. When a similar bill was proposed in my home state of Virginia, I found myself uncomfortable with being on the sidelines of this and other social issues. As a first step in getting more involved I decided to reach out to someone that I believe could speak to this subject in a way that my listeners would greatly benefit from.
Today's guest, Scott Klusendorf, is a nationally recognized pro-life advocate and president of the Life Training Institute. He has lectured on and debated the issue of abortion on over 80 colleges and universities, regularly conducted pro-life advocacy trainings and is the author of "The Case for Life". Yours truly caught up with Scott Klusendorf to talk about the following:
What is the current state of the abortion debate in America and in the church?
Do I have to become a Trump supporter or Republican to be on the right side of the abortion question?
How to make a 3 step argument for the pro-life position.
You don’t wanna miss this one!!!
P.S.: Ironically, this show is about kids and it just so happened that during the recording my 2 year old wandered into my studio area so you briefly hear him in the background smh. Shoutout to special guest Kaiden Coleman
