🎙️ We The Culture, ATL — Episode 1: "Holy Behind: Spiritual Psychosis in the Black Millennial Experience" 

In this explosive premiere episode of our new series Holy Behind, we peel back the sanctified layers of Black millennial Christianity to confront a truth too many avoid: spiritual psychosis. 

Host Tyrone Alexander keeps it raw, real, and reflective, diving deep into how the Black church has shaped — and sometimes warped — the way we understand healing, love, mental health, and accountability. 

📌 Key Topics Covered: 

• 💊 Spiritual psychosis vs. addiction: why some of us act like religion is the drug of choice.
• 🧠 How spiritual psychosis prevents Black families from addressing real mental health issues like ADHD, depression, and trauma.
• 📚 “Faith without works is dead” — and how some of us were taught to pray through the pain instead of doing the work.
• 🚨 Supporting abusers while condemning the misunderstood: a critical look at how we label people "demonic" while excusing true harm.
• 🧬 Generational trauma, obedience to abusive parents, and the lie that “honor thy mother and father” means suffer in silence.
• 🌪️ The false belief that natural disasters (like Katrina or the Haiti earthquake) are divine punishment for African spirituality like Voodoo and Hoodoo.
• 💸 The spiritual psychosis of tithing while your grandma can't afford heat — but still catches two buses to get to her Westside church.
• 🧍🏽‍♂️ Idolizing Black male pastors while ignoring problematic teachings that uphold white supremacy and dismiss Black suffering.
• 👮🏽‍♂️ A powerful critique of the “respect the police” message in churches — and the names of Black lives lost despite being respectful.
• 👁️ The contradiction of worshipping white Jesus while calling ancestral reverence demonic. (Jesus is your ancestor too, fam.)
• 📖 And we close with a powerful, healing scripture that ties it all together.

🔥 This isn’t church as usual. It’s truth-telling with a holy twist — a sermon for the soul that dares to say what many won't. We're high on wisdom, truth, and radical self-love.
