  • A Global Crisis: When You Don't Know What to Do, and Whatnot

    11 OCT 2023 · Welcome to The Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates. I’m an entrepreneur, coach, ordained minister, spiritual advisor, writer, and more. Join me weekly on Wednesdays as we grow and live together in community. Let's be honest. What's happening between Israel and Palestine is a lot. This "conflict" (i.e. apartheid and terrorism) has historical roots that expand beyond recent news. Social media has blown the story up in ways that appear to be one-sided. Some are feeling lost in the sauce on the subject and are searching for the right words to say. Beloved, it's ok if you don't have the words. In this episode, I make an attempt to share some context to what is happening and what we can do when we don't know what to do or say. For the practical parts of this conversation, tune into the audio. Now, to understand "how we even got here," it is important to note that the following statements are a rough overview. The Palestinian-Israeli "conflict" is a long-standing political and territorial dispute between Israelis and Palestinians, primarily over the area known today as Israel and the Palestinian territories (West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem). The roots of the conflict are deep and involve historical, political, and religious factors. Here's a bit of historical background to bring folks up to speed: - Ancient History: The region, historically known as Canaan, then later as Judea and Israel, has been inhabited by various groups over millennia. The ancient Israelites established the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah there. Over time, the area witnessed multiple invasions and rulers, including the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and many more. - Islamic Rule: In the 7th century AD, Muslim Arab armies conquered the region, and it became part of various Islamic caliphates for over a millennium. - Ottoman Rule: By the early 16th century, the Ottoman Empire took control, which lasted until World War I. - British Mandate: After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate to govern the region. During this period, the Zionist movement, which sought a homeland for Jews in response to centuries of persecution in Europe and Russia, gained momentum. This led to significant Jewish immigration to Palestine as an attempt to return to their homeland post-holocaust. Key Events: - UN Partition Plan (1947): Following increased tensions and violence between Jewish and Arab communities and the end of the British Mandate, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. The Jewish leaders accepted the plan, but the Arab leaders did not because they already lived in the land. - Formation of Israel (1948): In 1948, the State of Israel was declared. Neighboring Arab countries intervened in disappointment, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Israel retained its declared borders and expanded its territory. This war resulted in a significant number of Palestinian Arabs either fleeing or being expelled from their homes, an event Palestinians refer to as the Nakba ("catastrophe"). Over 700,000 Palestinians were displaced and lost their homes and resources. - Six-Day War (1967): Tensions led to another war, during which Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and Sinai Peninsula. Israel later returned the Sinai to Egypt but kept the other areas. The continuing Israeli occupation of these territories is seen by Palestinians as a denial of their right to self-determination and statehood. The presence of the Israeli military in these areas and the associated security measures are major points of contention. So, what's the current situation? The core issues of "the conflict" today include the borders of Israel and Palestine, Palestinians' rights, Jerusalem's status, and security concerns. Over the decades, multiple attempts at peace, including the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit, have been made but with limited success. Today, Israel exists as a recognized state, while Palestinians primarily live in the West Bank, governed by the Palestinian Authority, and in the Gaza Strip, governed by Hamas. The status of East Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians see as their capital, remains one of the most contentious points. The situation is further complicated by violence and displacement of people. Palestinians seek recognition and representation on the global stage. The lack of an opportunity for a unified Palestinian state and the challenges Palestinian representatives face in international forums are sources of frustration. Palestine doesn't have a full seat at the table in the same way that Israel does. Both parties have resulted in horrific acts of violence (with a significantly tipped scale) that stem from oppression and generational trauma. What we see now in 2023 is just the tip of the iceberg to a deep-seated issue of imperialism, colonialism, and apartheid. Again, this is my best attempt to explain with compassion and care. I recognize that many people don't know where to begin on this subject and I hope I aided in that process. As always, I thank you for listening.

Father's Day, much like Mother's Day, is complicated. In this episode, I extend love to those who find themselves in a less cheerful space on Father's Day. At the same time, I celebrate the Dads. Dads are different from Fathers being that one does not have to be connected biologically to be someone's Dad. Being a Dad is a choice made on love and commitment with presence. With the help of a few Dads in the biblical text, we are celebrating the Day of Dads!

I’m an entrepreneur, coach, ordained minister, spiritual advisor, writer, and so much more. Join me weekly on Wednesdays as we grow and live together in community. In this episode, I am talking about Pride month! In my time as a pastor, people would ask me about my stance on homosexuality. As a remember of the alphabet mafia, my stance is one that affirms my identity with a theological perspective that I share on this episode. Did you know that pride began as a protest? It is an uprising against police violence and is an act of resistance to the empire. Pride was founded out of the efforts of Queer and Trans Black and Brown women and gender non-conforming persons. This is also shared on this epside. And finally, we go there in regards to rainbow capitalism and rainbow washing. It is time that these big corporations start putting their money where there mouth is rather than presenting that they care about the LGBTQIA community. As always, I thank you for listening.

  • Don't Forget To Pray: Discerning The Call and Whatnot

    24 MAY 2023 · Don’t Forget to Pray: Discerning The Call and Whatnot Welcome to Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates. I’m an entrepreneur, coach, ordained minister, spiritual advisor, writer, and so much more. Join me weekly on Wednesdays as we grow and live together in community. Discernment is the ability to make well-informed and perceptive decisions. It involves the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, or truth and deceit, by carefully analyzing the underlying nuances. Discernment is often closely associated with judgment, wisdom, insight, or the ability to perceive that which isn't immediately apparent.In a spiritual context, discernment is seen as the process of understanding and making decisions in line with one's spiritual or religious beliefs. It involves sensing or understanding matters at a deeper, often spiritual or metaphysical, level. Spiritual discernment is often linked to intuition, inner guidance, and aligning oneself with higher spiritual truths. It helps individuals make choices that align with their spiritual journey and overall purpose. For me, one of the tools in the discernment process is prayer. Whatever you are discerning, remember to pray. This was the wisdom that I shared with a group of young adults who are discerning their next steps regarding what God is calling them to and who God is calling them to be. Or perhaps, what God is calling them towards, and what God is calling them away form. As always, I thank you for listening.
