About this listen

 Hosted by best-selling author and scholar Dr. Theron D. Williams What if everything you thought you knew about the Bible was missing a vital piece of the story? This podcast unapologetically centers the Black presence in biblical scripture, challenging mainstream narratives and reclaiming the history that colonialism tried to erase. In each episode, Dr. Williams unpacks powerful truths about race, faith, and identity through deep dives, guest conversations, and bold reflections that bridge theology and historical scholarship. From dismantling the myth that Christianity was introduced through slavery, to tracing the African roots of biblical figures, this show is a spiritual and intellectual awakening for the Black diaspora. Whether you're a seminarian, theologian, or spiritually curious, you'll leave each episode more rooted, more empowered, and more connected to the truth.© 2025 Dr. Theron D. Williams
