Is prayer your first step, or last resort? It can be a little awkward to keep a conversation going with someone you can’t see or speak to in person. But what if our prayer time wasn’t meant to be an occasional check-in? What if our prayers were meant to be part of an ongoing chat with our best friend, someone who loves us, who wants to hear about all the details of our life, and who willingly comes alongside us in every moment? God created us to be in deep relationship with Him—two-way conversations included. Join your hosts Rasool Berry and Dr. Christin Thorpe as they sit down with Dr. Barbara Peacock to explore different ways we can maintain a daily dialogue with our Creator.

What is Faith Under Construction Podcast?
What if faith isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out?
Faith Under Construction centers Black Millennials and Gen Z voices wrestling openly with Christianity — its beauty, its baggage, and its place in our culture. As they engage in thoughtful conversations with experts at the intersection of faith and culture, the hosts Rasool Berry and Christin Thorpe dive deep into the big questions so many in the Black community are wrestling with—questions about God, justice, the church, and identity. Things like:
• If I have Jesus, do I really need the church?
• Is Christianity a white, oppressive religion?
• What do I do with my doubts?
… and so much more.
This isn’t church PR.
It’s real people navigating belief in public.
Whether you’re committed, curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between — there’s space for you here.
