Episode 22: Reinvention, Faith, and the Audacity to Keep Going: A Conversation with Rev. Dr. Danielle L. Brown

Isaiah 43:19 says:  I am about to do something new; Even now it shall come to pass, Suddenly you shall perceive it: I will make a road through the wilderness And rivers in the desert. But what does that new thing actually cost? And how do you hold on when you cannot feel it yet? Rev. Dr. Danielle L. Brown, Senior Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, scholar, mentor, and the first woman to lead that congregation in its 117-year history, joins Sonya and Sharon for a conversation that goes all the way in. From teacher to youth pastor to associate to Senior Pastor. From 113 years of 'not yet' to breaking the barrier and building the ladder for everyone coming next.   This is not a sermon. It is not an interview. It is three Jersey women, all of them acquainted with reinvention, all of them still in it, keeping it 100 about faith, silence seasons, calling, and the audacity to keep going when the new thing has not made itself visible yet.   Find Rev.
