  • Truth’s Table Preaches: A Whisper for the Weary by Dr. Christina Edmondson

    Episode Description:


    In this episode, Dr. Christina Edmondson preaches a sermon entitled, “A Whisper for the Weary,” reflecting on Elijah’s encounter with God in 1 Kings 19:9-18. Elijah had witnessed God move in powerful, unmistakable ways, yet when he was exhausted, afraid, and overwhelmed, God did not meet him through the wind, earthquake, or fire. Instead, God came in a gentle whisper. Sometimes, we are so accustomed to looking for God in the spectacular that we miss the sacredness of the subtle.Pull up a seat at the table. Bring your weariness. Quiet your heart. And listen closely. God may be speaking in a whisper.

  • Single But Jesus Ain't Bae with Sekou Browne

    Episode Description:


    We are taking a brief break from our Underground Railroad 2.0 series to talk about singleness in the church. It’s been a minute since  Christina and Ekemini have talked about singleness in the church, so they invited Sekou Browne to join them at the table. Sekou Browne is a writer, filmmaker, and Telly Award–winning producer, as well as a cultural critic exploring the intersection of faith, singleness, and church culture. His work focuses on the gap between the expectations many Christians are given and the realities they experience—particularly around relationships and long-term singleness.


    His storytelling spans both film and daily writing, where his widely engaged Instagram column has become a space for naming patterns, surfacing unspoken tensions, and creating language around experiences many believers quietly carry. He is also the author of the Yoked newsletter, where he explores faith, relationships, and modern church dynamics through a reflective, story-driven lens. 


    Sekou is the creator of V Card, a vertical series that explores the social and spiritual pressures surrounding sex, dating, and identity within Christian culture. He was also selected as a finalist for the Stubios program, a joint initiative between Tubi and Issa Rae's ColorCreative, where he developed the concept that he has since adapted into his debut novel, Coming Up Short, set to release later this fall.


    His work has opened doors for broader cultural conversation, including his upcoming TEDx talk, “Your Pastor Can’t Find You a Husband,” which examines institutional narratives around marriage and the lived realities of today’s Christian singles.

    Across platforms, Sekou’s work is driven by a singular aim: to create space for more honest, nuanced conversations within the body of Christ.

  • Underground Railroad 2.0: Faithful Resistance with Rep. Justin J. Pearson

    Sponsor(s): TT Book

    Episode Description: Important note: This episode of Truth’s Table was recorded earlier this year, before the Voting Rights Act was gutted. 

    Truth’s Table is on the move! Christina and Ekemini are on location at the Tennessee State Capitol, sitting down with Representative Justin J. Pearson to talk about what faithful resistance demands in an era shaped by state violence, environmental racism, voter registration organizing, and the rising influence of white Christian nationalism. Rep. Pearson reflects on his faith and movement histories that ground his organizing work, including the ongoing fight against the expansion of the xAI data center and its impact on Memphis communities. This conversation is a way for Truth’s Table to model thoughtful engagement with our elected officials, and it’s an invitation for our sistas at the table to do the same. Pull up a seat at the table with us!  


    Learn more about Rep. Justin J. Pearson: 


    Justin J. Pearson launched his campaign for Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District on October 8, 2025, declaring it “a campaign for The People.” A movement leader and Tennessee lawmaker, he rose to national prominence as part of the Tennessee Three, standing up for gun reform and being overwhelmingly reelected after expulsion. A lifelong organizer, he helped lead the victorious Byhalia Pipeline fight, shut down a cancer-causing sterilization plant, and now challenges Elon Musk’s xAI data center. The second-youngest state legislator, Pearson is a national voice for justice, honored with the Truman Center’s 2024 Moral Courage Award. He’s running to bring that fight to Congress. Pearson is married to his partner in life and the struggle for justice, Oceana R. Gilliam-Pearson.
