In this powerful episode of The Lawyer’s Lounge, Keith Johnson sits down with writer, theologian, and cultural voice Danté Stewart for a soul-stirring conversation on the practice of gratitude—especially in a world that often makes it hard to feel thankful. Together, they explore the intersection of faith, Black identity, and the healing power of storytelling.
From reflections on fatherhood and freedom to the beauty and burden of being a Black Southern writer, this episode uplifts the voices that carry both pain and praise. Stewart opens up about his national writing journey—from The New York Times to The Atlantic—and how gratitude, grief, and grace all shape his work and his witness.
This episode is for anyone trying to stay grounded in purpose, push through pain, and recognize the sacred in everyday survival.
