FMLY: Close without Closure

from TFH Oakland

Just as an open wound can never heal unless it is properly stitched up, a broken relationship cannot be restored unless there is closure. Closure isn't just in romantic relationships but is in the loss of someone and unforeseen tragedies. It's the act of engaging in resolution or resolve no matter how painful. Too often do we refuse to initiate closure, unaware of the damage that this can cause. When we are unwilling to initiate the closure we want or deserve, we limit our closeness with God and those we do life with. As we see in the story of Joseph, we witness the most divine version of closure as he draws his brothers close to forgive them because of the wisdom that there was a higher purpose to their betrayal. Join us as Pastor Jules continues the FMLY series and talks about the reasons why we wait for others to initiate closure instead of being the mature one to pursue it, as well as the different levels of trust a restored relationship can achieve.

We'll dance in warehouses in the Bayview, make smoothies with kids in South Berkeley, and listen to classical music in a 1984 Cutlass Supreme in Richmond. Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home. Reckon Radio Reckon Panther: Blueprint for Black Power is the story of the unexpected birthplace of the Black Panther, a site that changed the course of the nation. But it’s not where you might expect. Far from Oakland, the Black Panther and its principles came from just outside Selma, Alabama. Lowndes County, Alabama: a county where every single thing Black folks did was an act of rebellion. A county where an all-Black party made it to the ballot in the year 1966. A county that paved the way for revolution. The fourth season of the Murrow Award-winning Reckon Radio examines the first year the Voting Rights Act was put to the test, deep in the heart of the Jim Crow South. Pulitzer Prize finalist Roy S. Johnson and journalist Eunice Elliott tell the story of Lowndes County and the election that shaped politics - and activism - as we know it.
