Is the Black Church Still Serving the Community in 2026? | Concrete Genius Podcast

In this episode of the Concrete Genius Podcast, Sauce Mackenzie raises a difficult but necessary question:
What role does the Black church really play in the community in 2026?
After a viral story about a woman whose grandmother paid tithes for decades but was still asked to pay thousands for her funeral service at the church, Sauce breaks down the uncomfortable conversation many people are afraid to have.
Is the church still serving the community the way it once did during the civil rights era?
Or has the focus shifted toward money, influence, and prosperity?
This episode explores:
- The purpose of tithing
- Church accountability
- The role of pastors in modern communities
- Whether the Black church is still helping uplift families
- And what real community investment should look like today
This isn’t an attack on faith.
It’s a call for honesty and accountability.
