The Church Is A Mess!

The church is in chaos — and the world is laughing.In this episode of The Melanin Movement, we break down the backlash surrounding Dr. Karri Bryant, Pastor Jamal Bryant, and the infamous dress that exposed the church’s long‑standing bias against curvy women. But the conversation doesn’t stop at body policing. We dig into the deeper issue: the church’s growing credibility crisis.From viral scandals to performative sermons, the church has become so inconsistent, so hypocritical, and so obsessed with policing women that comedians like Druski can parody pastors — and the public instantly recognizes the behavior. When parody feels like a documentary, something is wrong.We also share our personal experiences with men in the church, the double standards, the spiritual manipulation, and the way “modesty” is used to shame women while excusing men.If the church is supposed to be a place of healing, why does it feel like a stage, a spectacle, or a punchline?This episode is raw, honest, and necessary.Tap in and join the movement.
