In honor of Juneteenth 2023 which was celebrated on Monday, June 19th we have compiled all prior CC: America LLC Podcast episodes featuring Keith Kelley, a retired Financial Analyst and CPA. In this enlightening discussion, Keith shares valuable insights on how Black Americans can increase their net worth, overcome racial disparities, and implement strategies to achieve success. From exploring three powerful tools used to transfer wealth to future generations to uncovering the asset classes that are instrumental in building net worth, Keith provides actionable advice that promotes financial empowerment and closes the wealth gap.
 
While Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, every day is an opportunity for us to continue forging a path towards freedom in other areas like gaining financial knowledge and forging a path towards economic independence. In less than 30 minutes, you can gain valuable insight to help you start, restart, and/or continue that journey.

We live in a society where some people will attempt to silence the victim to protect the abuser. Be careful who you attack when you don’t have all the facts.
In this episode, I delve into the prevalent spirit of delusion and distraction that seeks to ensnare us in its grasp. We explore the significance of paying attention to signs and discerning the intentions behind people's words, as falling victim could lead us to become prey. The devil relentlessly agitates our mind and emotions, which constitute two-thirds of our soul. Drawing from Proverbs 4:23-27, we learn valuable lessons on guarding our hearts, refraining from corrupt speech, and fixing our focus ahead. Join us as we equip ourselves to tread carefully and remain steadfast amidst the challenges of the world.
Lord, please forgive me for the delay in sharing this message that was recorded earlier this week. May it bless whoever is meant to hear it.
Topics
Lessons learned from Prophetess Tiphani Montgomery (Covered by God)
Guard your heart and avoid distractions (Matthew 7:6, Proverbs 4:23-27)

We often don't take the time to pay attention to an issue until it directly impacts us or someone in our social circle. We're not heartless, it's just human nature. That being said, it is important that we realize that we are wired this way especially when we decide to judge others not realizing the very thing(s) we are outraged about could be the very thing(s) someone else is upset with us for believing. This selective outrage is certainly a hot button topic especially in today's age. In this episode we address the controversy head on including but not limited to:
Target Boycott Against Satanist Designer
What is selective outrage and how it impacts societal norms
The paradox of selective outrage "it's a problem when I do it..."
Selective outrage in the church (John 8)
The "ugly" truth
In-group bias
The signs of the end times (Luke 21)
Do not treat prophesies with contempt! Tell me what I want to hear, NO test the spirit.  (1 Thessalonians 5)
Sin is sin!
It's the God in me, the power of our testimony (Revelation 12)
Who is your master? Saul rejected as king (1 Samuel 15)
And so much more. Tune in and tell a friend.
