It’s been a year folks! That’s right! Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan have survived 1 whole year of podcasting. In this episode they look back on that year, ruminant on what’s ahead, and talk through what’s changed. They may be a year older, but they’re also a year wiser.

With Elijah and Ryan locked in the control room Ashley brought in 3 all-stars: Sharifa Stevens, Jurrita Williams, and Jayme Hightower.

The team talks through how social media impacts us, why we take breaks from it depending on our age, and Ryan continues to test out the potential for a singing career.

Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan talk through the messaging, the wording, the tone, and specific points in the statement. In the usual WTD fashion that you've come to know and love we breakdown the conversation in hopes of injecting more nuance.

The WTD crew passes along our thoughts and prayers to our listeners in H-town. Hurricane Harvey has rained tremendous amounts of water in Houston over the last several days, and we hope all our listeners, family, friends, and all Houstonians are safe. We encourage our listeners from around the country to seek ways to help out our fellow neighbors. This week the WTD crew is back with Part II of our Get Out discussion. We continue from last week and discuss how you change an organization - from the inside out? From the outside in? Both/and? Neither? Something else entirely? The team looks at a recent event where two SBC pastors witnessed the same event and came to different decisions about how to best affect change. —————————— Show notes: Ryan thinks he's pretty fly for a white guy, but he and the rest of the WTD team need your help.

The WTD originally planned to release a different topic this week, but the events happening in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend changed our minds. This podcast was recorded Monday, August 14 in the early morning hours. Given our platform at WTD and what we've advocated since coming on-air last October we felt it necessary to talk about white supremacy, white privilege, racism divestment, politics, and silence. This episode does have heated language and is potentially a trigger for our listeners. Please listen with patience and in community. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts (links below for getting in touch with us). The whole gang is back together this week - Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan sit down to talk about Charlottesville, Virginia and the explicitly white supremacist rallies. They also attempt to breakdown implicit and explicit white supremacy during their conversation, along with looking at the political rhetoric, and the churches rhetoric towards these types of terrorist activities. —————————— Show Notes: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/12/politics/trump-statement-alt-right-protests/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/12/us/charlottesville-white-nationalists-rally/index.html —————————— The WTD crew doesn’t have it all figured out but we’re trying to talk about and give voice to these conversations in public.
