Welp, y’all! We’ve reached the end of another season of Truth’s Table! And what a journey it’s been! Christina and Ekemini are back at the table to reflect on Season 10 and our Underground Railroad 2.0 series. By the grace of God, we’re still here, still telling the truth, and still making our way toward freedom!This season, we’ve been exploring what it means to escape the land of bondage and chaos and journey toward Freedom Land. As we reflect on this season&#39;s conversations, revelations, challenges, and lessons, we have to ask ourselves: What have we learned along the way? What must we leave behind? What does freedom require of us? And how do we keep moving when the journey gets difficult?Christina and Ekemini look back on their favorite episodes, the conversations that challenged them, the themes that stayed with them, and the lessons they’re carrying forward.

Episode Description:In this powerful sermon, Dr. Christina Edmondson calls believers to wake up: to resist the temptation to manipulate, to spot manipulation when it comes for us, and to cling with contentment to Christ, who operates in grace and truth. Through Proverbs 6, she shows that manipulation is never just talk, it never just happens, and it never stays in one place.From the oldest con in the garden to Absalom at the gate and the midwives who made good trouble, she calls us to be shrewd, not slick, and innocent, not naive. She points us to Jesus, the Great Un-manipulator, who lays all his cards face up and sets us free. Come take a seat at the table and hear about how Christ calls us to freedom from manipulation.Support Truth’s Table: Buy our book!

Truth’s Table Preaches: “Freedom From Manipulation” by Christina Edmondson

Episode Description: It’s been a minute since we’ve had a BlackGirlMagic Episode and we are so excited to introduce Ten who is an amazing vocalist and up and coming musical artist. Y’all know Christina and Ekemini are always doing new creative projects, so you’ll want to listen or watch this episode to learn more about their new project we did in collaboration with Ten, Common Hymnal, and SeauxChill (the producer of the Truth’s Table theme song).  Learn more about Ten:Ten found her voice as a kid on Chicago’s West Side, singing along to cartoon theme songs until a run that stopped her cousin in his tracks told her she had something special. From there she sang everywhere — block parties, school events, basketball games — before forming her first group with family and friends. Their independently recorded album sold over 2,000 copies in Chicago, entirely outside the system.A full basketball scholarship pulled her toward athletics, but a career-ending injury sent her all the way back to music — and she rebuilt from there, twice. In Atlanta, she founded Ettenet Music Group, spent seven years developing her craft under Writing Sessions of America (Kevin Shine), shared stages with Angie Stone, Bilal, Musiq Soulchild, and Raheem DeVaughn, and appeared on national TV via America’s Got Talent and The Voice. In Nashville, she became a certified audio engineer (SAE Institute) to take full creative control of her sound — writing, performing, producing, mixing, and mastering her own catalog. Her debut single, “Boss Lady TEN,” dropped August 2025. Support Truth’s Table: Buy our book!

Episode Description: ﻿In this episode, Dr. Christina Edmondson preaches a sermon entitled, “A Whisper for the Weary,” reflecting on Elijah’s encounter with God in 1 Kings 19:9-18. Elijah had witnessed God move in powerful, unmistakable ways, yet when he was exhausted, afraid, and overwhelmed, God did not meet him through the wind, earthquake, or fire. Instead, God came in a gentle whisper. Sometimes, we are so accustomed to looking for God in the spectacular that we miss the sacredness of the subtle.Pull up a seat at the table.

Underground Railroad 2.0: Black Faces in White Spaces

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/7/8/12/354629ab-521d-4cd8-b5a3-3f8681fd8041_tts10_-_sekou_browne.mp3

Episode Description: We are taking a brief break from our Underground Railroad 2.0 series to talk about singleness in the church. It’s been a minute since  Christina and Ekemini have talked about singleness in the church, so they invited Sekou Browne to join them at the table. Sekou Browne is a writer, filmmaker, and Telly Award–winning producer, as well as a cultural critic exploring the intersection of faith, singleness, and church culture. His work focuses on the gap between the expectations many Christians are given and the realities they experience—particularly around relationships and long-term singleness. His storytelling spans both film and daily writing, where his widely engaged Instagram column has become a space for naming patterns, surfacing unspoken tensions, and creating language around experiences many believers quietly carry. He is also the author of the Yoked newsletter, where he explores faith, relationships, and modern church dynamics through a reflective, story-driven lens.  Sekou is the creator of V Card, a vertical series that explores the social and spiritual pressures surrounding sex, dating, and identity within Christian culture. He was also selected as a finalist for the Stubios program, a joint initiative between Tubi and Issa Rae&#39;s ColorCreative, where he developed the concept that he has since adapted into his debut novel, Coming Up Short, set to release later this fall. His work has opened doors for broader cultural conversation, including his upcoming TEDx talk, “Your Pastor Can’t Find You a Husband,” which examines institutional narratives around marriage and the lived realities of today’s Christian singles.Across platforms, Sekou’s work is driven by a singular aim: to create space for more honest, nuanced conversations within the body of Christ.
