The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

×Christmas Eve is a fun event. Christmas Eve services are the biggest gatherings of the year in many churches. And yet, what is the point of Christmas Eve? Because I believe that Christmas Eve is really not important. So, what is important? Let’s talk about that.
Christmas is a time to imagine what sort of world we want to live in. The birthplace of Jesus is now rubble. Western powers are throwing International Law into the same rubble. What sort of world do we want to live in? Let’s talk about that.
With the crisis in Gaza right now we are hearing many different voices. One voice I wanted to hear was from Palestinian Canadians. In this episode I share an interview I made with Ehab Mustapha, a Palestinian Canadian from Mississauga, Ontario.
It is 140 days since Oct 7, 2023, the day of the atrocious attack by Hamas on Israel. Since that day, Israel has killed more than 30,000 civilians. And over 1 million Palestinians are facing the very real possibility of death by starvation. Whatever side you are on, many people these days are calling for an immediate, permanent, ceasefire. I was invited to speak at a multi-faith ceasefire event recently. And I want to share my talk with you.…

Many people are rightly concerned because of the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct 7, 2023. But that attack did not come out of nowhere. It came out of the 75 year occupation of Palestine. And in fact, the story goes back even further. Let’s talk about that today.
The only constant in life is change. That is even true when it comes to the theology of the church. There is a movement called "Progressive Theology" which is all about change. Today we will discuss what that is and I will show that it is actually a very old idea.
Homelessness has always been an issue. But in recent years - at least in Canada, the number of people experiencing homelessness has risen dramatically. In this episode we explore whether homelessness is a problem, or if it is better understood as a symptom.
One of the features of western society is Islamophobia - which is an irrational fear of Muslims, or a fear of Islam. Join me today for an interview with Imam Tarek, who was the Imam at the Brantford Mosque when I moved to Brantford. We will both offer our own perspective on Islamophobia and how to combat it.…
I'm sure that most people have heard the story about Jesus feeding 5000 people with a bit of bread and a few fish. What that story is really about - in modern terms - is the contrast between a mindset of abundance and a mindset of scarcity. Let's talk about that today.
We all deserve to have a great 2023. But how do we make that happen? Do we just recycle our list of resolutions from last year? Or do we take stock of what is holding us back and let those things to? Join with me as we discuss how to have a great 2023.

Rational Christianity

We are now in Advent. Traditionally a time that we are invited to look for Jesus in our midst. But what does that really mean? Join with me as we discuss why we need to get very real about our own longings as a first step in looking for Jesus in our midst.
This is the last Sunday in the Christian Calendar, which is called "Christ the King" Sunday. What is that all about? And what does that have to do with the Trans Day of Remembrance? Please join with me and we will discuss it.
Remembrance Day - perhaps more than any other occasion, raises up a strong discrepancy between what Christians say and what they actually do. That's because Jesus had some very challenging things to say about warfare. Let's talk about that!
We all want to be happy. But where do we find happiness? Does happiness come when we have enough stuff? or does happiness come when we share with others and create community?
I think that most of us value being "well". But often, when an opportunity comes along where we can make life changes and become more well, we don't actually do it. Perhaps it's not so obvious that we want to be well. Certainly, it is worth discussing. I wonder. Do we want to be well? Let's talk about it.…
