We live in a world where language and communication have become politically correct. We say BS. This is "In Tha Trenches." We talk about what we want and how we want it real and raw from the military to veterans, society, spiritual, government, education, and everything in between. We have a real discussion about it ALL.
Welcome to In Tha Trenches Podcast, where we dive deep into thought-provoking conversations that challenge established norms and explore the complexities of life's big questions.

Join our host and expert guests as they navigate the intricate landscape of religion, spirituality, and connection. Together, we delve into the age-old debate: Are religious practices primarily centered around rituals, or should they prioritize fostering authentic and meaningful relationships with the divine?
In each episode, we engage in enlightening discussions that blend scholarly insights, personal experiences, and diverse perspectives. We question the role rituals play in different religious traditions, their historical significance, and their impact on individuals' spiritual journeys.
Through compelling interviews and deep reflections, we challenge the notion that religion should be solely defined by rituals. Instead, we uncover the profound importance of forging genuine connections with the divine, highlighting the transformative power of relational spirituality.
Whether you identify with a particular religious tradition, consider yourself spiritual but not religious, or are simply curious about the interplay between rituals and personal relationships within the faith, this podcast offers a space for open-minded exploration.

The recent inflation in the economy has caused many individuals to worry about their financial stability. With rising prices and decreasing purchasing power, it can be difficult to maintain a comfortable standard of living. One solution to this problem is passive income. The importance of passive income has become even more apparent in light of the actions of Blackstone Group and its investors. Blackstone Group is a private equity firm that has been buying up single-family homes across the United States in an effort to turn them into rental properties. This has caused a significant increase in housing prices, making it difficult for many individuals to afford a home. Additionally, Blackstone Group and its investors have been raising rents on their properties, making it even harder for individuals to keep up with the rising cost of living. This has led to concerns about the company contributing to poverty and the widening wealth gap. However, by focusing on generating passive income, individuals can protect themselves from the effects of rising prices and predatory investors. By investing in rental properties or other sources of passive income, individuals can create a reliable stream of money that is not affected by the actions of outside forces. In conclusion, the importance of passive income cannot be overstated, especially in the current economic climate. With the actions of companies like Blackstone Group threatening financial stability for many individuals, it is important to take proactive steps to protect one's financial well-being. By generating passive income, individuals can create a reliable source of money that is not subject to the whims of outside forces, providing peace of mind and financial security.

In this podcast episode, we will explore the hotly debated issue of the surge of migrants coming to America in search of free benefits and citizenship. Many Americans are concerned about the cost of providing support to these migrants and feel that they should not be responsible for covering these costs.
We will also examine the contradictions between the words and actions of some migrants, who may have violated laws to get into the country, but then expect to be treated like American citizens without being held accountable for their actions. This can create tension and frustration among the American people, who feel that they are being taken advantage of.
As we dive deeper into this issue, we will explore the perspectives of different groups and individuals, including migrants themselves, politicians, and everyday Americans. We will also discuss the impact that this issue can have on our society as a whole and the challenges that we may face in finding a solution that works for everyone.
Join us as we explore this complex and controversial topic and seek to gain a deeper understanding of the issues at play.

Black churches have been a cornerstone of the Black community for centuries. They provide spiritual support, social connections, and a sense of belonging for countless individuals and families. But what about their role in economic development? Unfortunately, all too often, we see Black churches not investing in the same communities they are established in.
Many people believe that churches, particularly those that are established in predominantly black communities, have a responsibility to invest in the community in which they are situated. This is especially important in cases where the community is facing social and economic challenges such as poverty, inadequate housing, lack of access to education and healthcare, and high levels of unemployment. Black churches have traditionally played an important role in supporting the black community, particularly during times of social and economic hardship. They have served as centers for organizing and activism, as well as providing vital resources to people in need.
While it is ultimately up to each church to decide how it wants to allocate its resources, many argue that investing in the community is not only a moral obligation but also a way to demonstrate a commitment to the people they serve. By supporting initiatives such as affordable housing, job training programs, and community outreach, churches can help to address the social and economic disparities that affect black communities. Overall, investing in the community can be seen as an important way for black churches to fulfill their role as community leaders and demonstrate a commitment to the well-being of the people they serve

In this episode, we will discuss why Blacks or minorities do not always participate in group economics which is complex and multifaceted. Here are a few possible reasons for topics that we will be discussing:
1. Systemic Racism: Many Blacks and minorities face systemic barriers and discrimination in accessing resources and opportunities. This makes it more difficult for them to build wealth and accumulate assets that could be used for group economics.
2. Lack of Trust: Historical and ongoing discrimination and oppression have created a deep-seated mistrust of institutions and individuals outside of their communities. This can make it challenging to build trust and collaborate on economic initiatives with others.
3. Limited Resources: Many Blacks and minorities come from low-income families and communities that have limited resources to invest in group economics. Without access to capital and other resources, it can be difficult to start and sustain economic initiatives.
4. Individualism: Many people, regardless of race or ethnicity, tend to prioritize individual success and achievement over collective well-being. This can make it challenging to build solidarity and work together towards shared economic goals.
5. Lack of Education: Financial literacy and education are essential for understanding economic principles and making informed decisions about money management and investment. Many Blacks and minorities have limited access to quality financial education and resources, which can limit their ability to participate in group economics.
Overall, these factors contribute to the challenges that Blacks and minorities face in participating in group economics. Addressing these systemic and individual barriers will be essential for building more inclusive and equitable economic systems.
