Have you ever felt like people noticed your race before they noticed you? Sometimes it might sound like a compliment: “You’re so articulate.” “You’re pretty for…” “You’re not what I expected.” But beneath those words, there’s often an assumption about who someone should be. Instead of being seen as a unique individual, you end up feeling like the exception to a stereotype. Have you ever experienced that? What was said, and how did it make you feel? by @builtintheopen

Sometimes healing means going back for the younger version of yourself who learned how to survive alone and saying, “I will never leave you again.”

In a new episode of the Built Different podcast, we talk about Black boy joy, inner-child healing, mental health, abandonment, and learning how to become a safe place for yourself. by @builtintheopen

Sometimes God answers our prayers by changing the people around us.

Jordan shares how God drew him into community, even though it wasn’t something he naturally sought. Looking back, he can see that God wasn’t just removing unhealthy relationships. He was making room for the people he needed to grow.

A journey to true intimacy with God requires community.

If this encouraged you, check out our latest episode with @katrinasharlene the author of Pure Intimacy: Choosing God Over Sexual Sin, where we talk about healing, freedom, and why we were never meant to walk this journey alone. by @builtintheopen

We need safe spaces too!

Culturally, it’s often communicated that men are the ones doing the predatory work in these spaces.

But our sisters be out here too.

Run clubs and group activities are supposed to be safe spaces. Sometimes they’re something else entirely.

Will gets honest about battling addiction since he was eleven, and something nobody really talks about. Even after the addiction itself isn’t controlling you anymore, the images don’t just disappear. They live rent free in your head. by @builtintheopen

Some of us look completely fine on the outside and are still fighting the same fight on the inside. Nobody talks about that part.

What in your life is too loud right now?

Maybe it’s not confusion. Maybe you just haven’t been quiet long enough yet.

You can’t hear what matters until you learn what to tune out.

You finally let people in. Now everybody got an opinion. Jourdan opens up about finally craving community after spending most of his 20s going alone. But now that he has it, the voices are loud and coming from every direction.
Rob meets him right there. A multitude of counsel is a beautiful thing, but it doesn’t mean the same area of counsel. You need people who know your heart and know different lanes.
Because when everyone giving you advice is from the same world, one lane starts running your whole life.

Have you ever had too many voices pulling you in too many directions?

Before there was a podcast, there were conversations.

At music events, Cava, cigar shops, just between brothers figuring life out. @robinkeithjr, head honcho of @sonbrightent , saw something in those conversations before we did and said it needed to be heard.

Jourdan is the quiet soul of the show, a reflective introvert learning to step outside his comfort zone and become the man he knows he can be. He brings honesty, calm humor, and a steady presence, the kind of guy who remixes songs and somehow makes the room lighter. People trust him because he values depth, listens well, and shows up as himself while growing. For Jourdan, this show is accountability in real time, a chance to make better choices, build his faith, and remind other men that vulnerability is strength. by @builtintheopen
