It’s Come Through’s first episode and we’re kicking it off with what’s on everyone’s mind: the pandemic. For decades, epidemiologist Dr. Camara Jones has been studying how race and racism impacts the health of people of color. When she read the early reports about COVID-19, she knew what was coming next for black communities, as well as for older folks. Jones tells Rebecca Carroll what we can do to keep each other safe. She says the fate of the community is in young peoples’ hands, in more ways than they may realize.

How Bishop T. D. Jakes Keeps the Faith
Bishop T.D. Jakes leads the Potter’s House Church in Dallas and has millions of followers worldwide -- but these days, he’s been outspoken in urging them to keep the faith at home. Even before the pandemic hit, we were living in scary times: racist rhetoric from the White House, and a country polarized by politics and economic disparity. But Jakes tells Rebecca Carroll “this is a smashing moment” when change is imminent and belief is more important than ever -- even if you’re not a churchgoer.
