The Leadership Revival Begins – Episode 191 of The Culture Soup Podcast
🎙️ Episode 191 of The Culture Soup Podcast marks the beginning of something special: the Leadership Revival series. As we step closer to the release of Call & Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church, this new podcast series pulls back the curtain on the making of the book—blending soul, scholarship, and story.
In this debut episode, I reflect on the deep historical roots of Black Church leadership—and why Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s voice was essential to the book’s foundation. You’ll hear a moving clip from our past conversation about ancestry, legacy, and the stories we carry.
💡 Plus, don’t miss our first Footnotes segment, which unpacks the quiet rebellion of enslaved worshippers who led from the shadows—gathering in woods and by riversides when public praise was denied.
This is the front matter. The preface to the revival.
Pull up a seat. We’re just getting started.
