What is up everyone is Wednesday. We are halfway through the week. So good job for making it this far.

It's a big accomplishment. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. You are either like me and you're

finally enjoying spring for like a consistent amount of time. Maybe if you're in the northeast,

you're enjoying it for the first time. I'm not actually sure what the weather is like there,

but last I heard it was a little bit warmer. But if you're in Texas like me, you are finally,

finally, finally enjoying like a few days of consistent weather. It's been like back and forth like

45 and rainy and then sunny and 80. But I love when it's hot outside like I'm totally okay with

sweating just a little bit and being just like slightly uncomfortable. I'm so much rather it be

hot than cold. I know I'm probably going to be regretting this in a few weeks because it gets like

157 degrees and it's an ungodly amount of hot. It's stifling. You can't even go outside.

Even the pool is like bathwater. There's literally no relief. But anyway, all that to say. I'm so

excited for the summer. I can't wait. I also just realized how totally lame it is to start a podcast

talking about the weather. Who talks about the weather? You talk about the weather with people

that you don't know. That's like how you bridge the gap and an awkward conversation. But I do know

you guys. Y'all are my friends and I have a lot to say. So my apologies for that introduction,

but it was just what's on my mind. Also, to add to this introduction, just a reminder that this is

a podcast that comes from CRTV. You can go to CRTV.com slash alley to watch my weekly videos,

which are hopefully informative and entertaining. If they are not, we have a problem. And you should

probably tell me. So anyway, to get us started, I need to back up just a little bit. I want to

continue on a little bit what we talked about last week and use it as kind of a jumping off place

to talk about what I think is a bigger issue within the church. And that is this quickening journey

to Marxism within mainstream Christianity. So bear with me as I go over some race stuff again
