dynamic voices for a diverse church. This is Pass the Mic.

Greetings and God bless. Welcome to another episode of Past the Mic.

Dynamic Voices for a Diverse Church powered by the Witness, a Black Christian

collective. I'm your host Tyler Burns. You can follow me on Twitter at Burns 23 follow at your own risk.

And joining me today is the host of the Coming the Roots podcast, an executive team member here

pandemic that is so serious and has uprooted everything that we've
