In this episode, JJ Green speaks with William H. Lamar IV, pastor of Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church and author of Ancestors, about how the past continues to shape power, identity, and decision-making today.

Lamar makes a compelling case that our ancestors are not behind us—they are active, influencing everything from politics to personal belief.
