Dr. Donna Oriowo is back with Kristian A. Smith for part 1 of an eye-opening discussion that challenges the intersection of religion, sexuality, and shame in the Black church. Kristian, a disruptor in his own right, shares his journey from a fifth-generation preacher to questioning the restrictive theology of sin and shame that still plagues so many. Together, they explore how fundamentalist teachings shape our desires, how the church’s obsession with control stifles true sexual liberation, and how the Black community has been conditioned to shame their natural desires. From “don’t wear that” to “don’t do that,” the conversation tackles how we can finally break free from the church’s grip on our pleasure, redefine sin as harm, and create space for sexual freedom in our faith journeys. If you’re ready to unlearn harmful theology and reclaim your pleasure, this episode is a must-listen.
