It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

No. I’m not talking about Christmas (that’s wonderful, too).

But if you know me and my former podcast, Pass The Mic, you already know what I mean.

Cultural Artifacts!!!

This is the first Cultural Artifacts episode since PTM ended, so it is only right and fitting that my very first official guest on The Justice Briefing is none other than Rev. G. Tyler Burns!

I honestly can’t imagine a better way to mark this moment.

For longtime PTM listeners, this will feel like slipping into a familiar groove.

As always, the rules remain the same: these artifacts don’t have to be new.

They just have to be consumed this year. The things that steadied us. Challenged us. Made us feel more human in a year that demanded a lot.

This is Part 1 of 2, so consider this your invitation to settle in—and start making your own list.

We’ll be back next Thursday (12/18) for part 2 of Cultural Artifacts.

Catch us right here on Substack Live or on my YouTube page.

What’s on your cultural artifacts list this year? Let us know in the comments.

After countless hours studying Klan documents, rituals, speeches, and theology—and comparing them with what we see today—I am prepared to make this claim clearly:

There is a direct ideological line from the Ku Klux Klan to modern white Christian nationalism.

This is not a clickbait claim. It is a historically grounded conclusion.

Never Miss an Episode of The Justice Briefing podcast

There are moments in a democracy when the choice becomes stark, the stakes undeniable, and the moral line unmistakable.

Recent events in our nation have made a simple fact painfully clear:

There is no redeeming this presidency. And now it’s time to say what millions are thinking but too few are willing to say out loud.

Trump has to go. Legally. Immediately. Without equivocation.

🚨 I’m hosting a Vision Casting Meeting for something I’ve never publicly unveiled until now—TISBY MEDIA.

This is the multimedia ecosystem we’re building together: historically grounded, theologically rooted, and action oriented.

I want to invite you to be part of the founding moment.

The meeting will take place on Sunday, December 7th at 4 pm ET
