In this episode of Roots and Relevance, part of the Threads of Redemption series, the hosts discuss Genesis chapters 12 and 15. They reflect on the transition from human failure post-Eden to God's enduring promises beginning with Abraham. The conversation explores Abraham's covenant with God, focusing on righteousness through faith rather than deeds. Drawing parallels to present-day perceptions, the hosts examine the significance of faith using examples like Donald Trump’s notion of good deeds for heaven entry and Eminem’s spiritual transformation.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
