In this week's podcast we are discussing the current events surrounding the passing of legendary and iconic deejay, DJiRockJesus. He recently passed away. But, we are celebrating his life and his legacy, and dedicating this entire show to his extraordinary life. DJiRockJesus was an award winning Christian Hip Hop Deejay, spanning three decades. And, we were blessed to have him on the podcast not once, but twice. His humility and his tremendous talent speaks volumes about the kind of person he was. He will be greatly missed. In this episode, we are sharing our thoughts on this iconic and legendary life, as well as sharing clips of recent interviews and a special birthday mix he did for us several years ago.

PLUS, we have a dynamic and powerful Thought of the Week that's entitled, "Legendary" that is also dedicated to this legendary DJ. So, needless to say, this show is definitely appointment listening. We've also posted clips of the show on our Thinking Out Loud Radio & TV Show Youtube Channel as well. Be sure and check those out. Our prayers are continually lifted for his family as well as the entire Christian Hip Hop Community in the loss of one of it's greatest representatives. #RIPDJiRockJesus

We kick off Black History Month talking politics in this week's edition of the podcast. In fact, we are doing "A Wellness Check" for all of our listeners, as we are approaching the second year of the Trump Administration. We begin in the first segment talking about the recent I.C.E. murders of Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, along with several others, just within the past 30 days.

We also give the Trump Administration a grade for the lackluster job that they have been doing since being in office. And, taking a look at the "No King" Protests that were taking place last summer, and the one this coming up in March, and asking the question, especially of those who voted for Trump back in November, what has changed about their view of him from then and now. We believe that there are many people who voted for him that have "buyers remorse" and they are upset, because they aren't getting what they were promised from Trump, and now they want to take it to the streets. We've posted the video for this episode on our Thinking Out Loud Radio and TV Youtube Channel, so check it out and feel free to drop your comments there and we will be responding to each one of them.

PLUS, we've got a dynamic Thought of the Week that we've entitled, "The Big If" where we talk about the divine partnership that we have with God in the fulfillment of our purpose and destiny. That, God sometimes partners with us in order for us to receive blessings from Him. God's has an expectation of us, that requires our participation in this divines process. The questions is, what are you going to do?

We ask this question and a lot more in this week's "Wellness Check" Edition of the Thinking Out Loud Radio Show.

Ms. Dez also shared some amazing news about her plans for next year that its so BIG, that you will have to listen to podcast to find out, because we don't plan to spill the beans here.

PLUS, we've got a dynamic Thought of the Week centered around the true meaning of this holiday season. And, no it's not about candy canes, or mistle toe, it's not about Santa Clause or Rudolph, but's about the birthday of the greatest man that ever lived, and changed the trajectory of the world at the same time. He lived a life of humility and obscurity, but gave a gift of life that keeps on giving, and His name is Jesus Christ.
