Part 2 of Black History Isn’t “His-Story”… Who Gets To Tell It? goes deeper into identity, origin, and the stories many of us were never fully told. We unpack Genesis 10, the lineage of Noah’s sons, the connection to Ham and the African nations, and the wider conversation around melanin, pigmentation, and how people groups spread across the earth. We also wrestle with the reality that race has often been used as a human tool to divide, while the identity of many Black people in America has been stripped, buried, or rewritten.

This is not a conversation about hate, superiority, or separation. This is truth in love. While many cultures have been allowed to celebrate their roots with pride, many Black people are still searching for what was lost. This episode is bold, uncomfortable, and necessary — a real conversation rooted in scripture, history, love, and the pursuit of truth.

What if “history” isn’t just what happened… but what got recorded, what got taught, and what got repeated?

In this episode, Wayne & Murad open Black History Month with a real conversation: Black History isn’t “His-story”… but who gets to tell it? And the answer might be bigger than you think—because we all have a responsibility to learn it, protect it, and pass it on with truth and purpose.

We get into:

• Why the “official story” often leaves out key voices—and how that shapes identity

• Black excellence beyond headlines: family legacy, resilience, invention, faith, and community impact

• The spiritual side of Black history—how scripture, identity, and culture intersect

• Conversations around Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Black Hebrews, and what people believe about origins and lineage

• Why these topics spark emotion—and how to talk about them without losing respect or love

• A nod to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what his legacy still demands from us today

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a table talk—the kind where you might laugh, pause, disagree, or say “hold up… I never thought about it like that.” But if you’re ready to think deeper and ask better questions, this episode is for you.

Listener question: Who do you think gets to tell Black history—and what part of the story do you feel people still don’t understand?

Episode 8 — Being a Man in America (Part 2): The Man the Moment Demands is the continuation of our Episode 7 conversation—and this one is special. Wayne Hyatt and Murad are joined by Pastor Ray Harrison, who stopped by to drop gems, challenge us, and also speak life over what it looks like to show up as men in real time.

If Episode 7 was the wake-up call, Episode 8 is the blueprint. We talk about the stigma America puts on men, the pressure to perform, and the quiet battles most men carry alone. Pastor Ray brings a God-centered lens that cuts through the noise: manhood isn’t defined by culture, social media, or the streets—it’s defined by God’s Word, and it shows up in self-control, humility, accountability, and love.

One of the most powerful moments is when Pastor Ray shares how much he admires what he sees in us as fathers—how we’re raising our sons with intention and stepping up as men. But he doesn’t just compliment; he coaches. He reminds you to breathe. To slow down long enough to take in what God has already blessed you with. To control what you can, and to give yourself grace for what you can’t control—or what you’ve messed up along the way. For sure… that word alone is worth the listen.

In this episode we unpack:
• The false definitions of manhood we inherit in America
• The 3 stages of manhood (adolescents, young men, and mature men) and what each stage requires
• Why “provision without presence still feels like absence”
• Emotional discipline—being calm, not cold; strong, not toxic
• Brotherhood, mentorship, and the need for safe spaces where men can be honest
• Practical habits and warning signs every man should pay attention to

Wayne also ties in Jason Wilson’s book, “The Man the Moment Demands,” because it forces the real question: Are you becoming the man this season of your life requires—or just surviving it?

We put Pastor Ray in the “hot seat” with real-life scenarios and bring it home with a simple 7-day challenge you can actually do—because being “rooted and ready” isn’t a quote… it’s a lifestyle.

Press play if you want faith, wisdom, and practical steps to become the man your family needs, the man your community respects, and most importantly—the man God can trust. Share this with a brother you love—and take notes. This episode will strengthen you.
