Podcast Blackout: Lamenting and Listening in Solidarity with Victims of Police Brutality
Standing in collective lament and solidarity, this episode features a moment of silence and protest as part of the podcast blackout movement—recognizing the loss of Black lives due to police brutality. Tim Stafford speaks on behalf of the Voxology community to affirm their commitment to listening, learning, and mourning with those who grieve. By naming the victims, this episode becomes a space of remembrance and protest against systemic injustice.
Key Themes: • Honoring the lives lost to racial injustice through a spoken memorial. • A public and spiritual practice of lament aligned with the biblical call to mourn with those who mourn. • Centering the importance of listening, empathy, and standing in solidarity with marginalized communities. • Highlighting the church's prophetic role in naming sin and injustice in society.
Reflection Focus: Rather than commentary or discussion, this episode acts as a sacred pause—a responsive act of solidarity through silence and the power of naming.
Call to Action: Take time to reflect, lament, and educate yourself on racial justice. Seek ways to stand alongside communities affected by systemic violence. Subscribe, share, and follow the Voxology Podcast to continue engaging in conversations about justice, faith, and the true mission of Jesus.
