Summary

Southside Tribe! We are back and Season 8 is in full effect! In this timely episode, KB and Ameen dive deep into the unfortunately recurring theme of manipulation, deceit and abuse within social structures, particularly churches and Christian organizations. Starting with the Garden of Eden, they discuss how humankind's first interaction with manipulation was with the serpent. From there, they discuss a revealing study on highly competent, good-natured individuals stuck in abusive relationships due to their own virtues. The conversation extends to how manipulation and deceit appear in leadership roles, the vulnerability of well-intentioned people, and practical advice on when and how to run from toxic environments. They call for honesty, accountability, and the importance of good community, emphasizing the calling of God's people to never be complicit in abuse.

I mean, a lot has transpired since the last season. A lot of things have happened not only in our lives, but also in the world. And those are some of the things that we want to help you think through. It's been hard watching things happen and us not being able to come back on the mic and say, we want to process this. So we are back. Season 8 is upon us. We will be talking about things that have happened, things that are currently happening. We are going to talk about things that are going to happen that we don't know, but God knows. Thank you so much for rocking with us here at Southside

2:07.9	Like Moses.
2:09.1	Wow.
2:09.9	And every time I hit him up, he's up there conversing with God.
2:15.0	And I have been waiting for him to come down from the mountain,
2:18.1	almost not exactly like the children of Israel.
