My faith and how I go about doing the work I do go hand in hand even if “faith” isn’t the centerpiece of my weekly conversations on Instagram and here… With this week being Easter, and faith such a cornerstone in my life, I figured what better time to dive in than now.  In this series we’ll have a wide spectrum of views, but this week I am doing something I haven’t really done before…  I am sharing my personal faith journey with you!! Like from Sunday School to questioning if God is even real to what I believe now as a member of a local church… We dive DEEP into my story. _____ Episode 044 - Dementia won’t steal my father’s story… with Fermin Whittaker  Thanks to our sponsors!!

I woke up this morning, after a lot of me talking on the internet for 3 days about the horrific tragedy that happened in my community here in Nashville TN on Monday at The Covenant School, and I had the thought… “There are LOT’S of opinions on what WE think they need. But how about asking them?” So I did… And they responded.  So my question to you is simple… Are you ready to step up for the parents of the survivors? Make sure you are following me on Instagram @loswhit as I give us marching orders this Monday… Love you fam… It’s time to care for the parents… Los Thanks to our sponsors!!!

Today I literally interview my mom and dad on the episode. The fact that my mom even said more than 2 words was miraculous because she IS NOT ME. And I'm so grateful she lent her voice to the show so you can hear firsthand from someone who is living their marriage vows unlike any other. And then you head from my dad. And then... And then we rewind 6 years and I play a clip from a message that my dad preached that was exactly what I needed to hear today. I also give you a list of things to NOT SAY and things TO SAY to a caregiver... Hope this helps... Love you fam...

So I posted a video on Instagram today about these 12 confederate flags that wave hello to me on a daily basis a few yards away from my house in Nashville, TN. I didn't think anyone would question the validity of my being offended. But then people did. And then I found myself having convos in my DM's that were eerily similar to my DMs in 2020. A lot of grace-filled yet OMG teaching.  To be honest I was a bit bothered. I thought we were past this. But alas. There is more work to be done... On today's episode, I go into detail as to who the person is who is flying these confederate flags so close to my face on a daily basis and I dive deep into why the confederate flag is so offensive. We deep dive into the historical evolution of the flag and what it has meant through the years.  Knowing that some people see the flag as more of a pride of southern heritage. I discuss the problems with this. I also give you 6 steps that can help you have those dreaded conversations about race with family members who dismiss
