Jack Foster Sr. Black Men, Brotherhood, and the Fight for Our Future

In this powerful episode of You Are Not Alone (YANA), host James Trice sits down with 80-year-old minister, husband of 58 years, and lifelong mentor Jack Foster Sr. for an unflinching, heartfelt conversation about the challenges facing Black men in America—and the hope that still burns bright. From growing up in a fatherless home to decades of work in prison and marriage ministry, Jack shares wisdom born of experience. Together, they tackle hard truths: why so many Black men are absent from their homes and churches, the lasting scars of slavery and Jim Crow, the modern assault on economic opportunity, and the role faith and mentorship can play in healing communities. This is more than an interview—it’s a call to action, a reminder that we are not meant to walk alone, and an invitation to join the work of lifting each other up.
