Linda Grace Morris: Baltimore Boomer Tales from the Hood
Baltimore was the place to be in the 1950s and 1960s, bustling with all the industry and social change about to come. For African Americans, it was a jobs magnet with all the major manufacturers. Those living in Turner Station and Sparrows Point, the company town built to host the Bethlehem Steel Company, had the highest per capita income for African Americans in the nation. Cherry Hill, the only planned community built for African Americans by the Federal Government, lifted many Baltimore Boomers into the middle class. This podcast walks down memory lane through the neighborhoods and good times--despite segregation--that those growing up there can never forget.

Michael P. Burnside: A Story of Faith, Works, and the Good Things that Came Forth
This is a story of so many twists and turns that I had to do it in two episodes because every detail was essential. Cherry Hill is the launching point for the life that Michael has navigated so well with his faith at the core of his being. As we are told in James 2:26, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Michael not only put the work in, but he also went a step further and asked for help--something many are afraid to do. No one makes it through this life without help--no one.
Michael is the author of the book, "Burnside's Journey: Believing Good Things Can Happen." If you are feeling overwhelmed or struggling with aspects of your life, take time to read about Michael's journey.
