Before we get into this week's episode of Small Doses Podcasts, I want to let you know that,

unfortunately, my show, the Amanda Seale show, has come to an end. Yes, my radio show, the incredible,

brilliant radio show starring myself with co-host DJ Supreme and executive producer T.J. and

writer Charles has come to a close. Apparently they said

that I am too polarizing and I'm just not consistently funny. Well, you know what? To eat their own.

By the way, my interpretation of that is I am too real and I'm not willing to shuck, jive, and coon.

So they're right. That being said, if you would love to continue to hear my thoughts on things relating to pop culture, to news,

current events, and honestly just insights about existing in this shit show of a world,

you can subscribe to my Patreon. You can also subscribe to my newsletter and you'll get

an alert when I figure out the next phase of my space to do what I do, which is to truth translate

for the people. Thank you all so much for your support of the show up until this point. Without y'all,

it never would have gotten even this far so you are much

much appreciated now let's get into this episode let's take a throwback to when i sat down with

kirk franklin to talk about the side effects of faith and let me tell you something with what's going on

right now faith is something we all need it's just a matter of what is your faith in and that's what i really appreciate about this conversation why i think it's so timely to play right now, faith is something we all need. It's just a matter of what is your faith in.

And that's what I really appreciate about this conversation, why I think it's so timely to play

right now. Because the idea of faith is so often just couched in religion. But truthfully,

faith is your willingness, your commitment, your belief in that which you cannot typically see, which may not have

empirical evidence, but that you believe that you can feel, that in somewhere in your gut,

where your soul meets your skin, you know.

And for a lot of us in this American landscape, in this United States landscape,

that's actually a far-reaching concept that isn't even anything to do with religion. It's spirituality.
