Black, White, and the Red Letters
Two guys. Friends. Brothers. Pastors. Jesus freaks. One's an incredibly talented black filmmaker (Cameron Arnett). The other? A lily-white ex-Jewish dude (Ed Grifenhagen). Together, they tackle culture head-on with raw, real, unapologetic Jesus conversations . . . minus the churchy fluff.
Episodes
In this episode of Black, White, & the Red Letters, Ed and Cameron talk about what it really means to choose Christ over career. Cameron shares how saying no to compromise in Hollywood looked like loss at first, but became the seedbed for God’s deeper calling. This conversation is about obedience, lordship, surrender, and trusting Jesus with more than your Sunday mornings. Because when Christ is Lord, He gets th...
What if the lie keeping you from Jesus is that your sin is somehow bigger, badder, and stronger than His grace?
In this episode of Black, White, & the Red Letters, Ed and Camy talk about the Hebrew word kara — “to call” — and why everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
No mask. No merit badges. No spiritual password.
Just mercy . . . incredible mercy.

Season 2 begins with a new voice, a new chapter, and a conversation that gets real . . . fast.
Ed Grifenhagen welcomes actor, filmmaker, pastor, and brother-in-Christ Cameron “Camy” Arnett as the new co-host of Black, White, & the Red Letters. In this first episode together, Ed and Camy talk about how God brought their friendship together on the set of Overcomer, Camy’s journey from Haiti to Hollywood, his salvat...

In Part 2 of our walk through Galatians 5:22–23, we get into the “middle fruit” that shows up where real life hurts: joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness. We talk about why joy isn’t the same thing as happiness, how peace can show up in the worst moments (even cancer and funerals), and why patience is often just the Spirit giving you that split-second pause before you clap back. Then we bring it down to stre...
In this episode, we camp out in Galatians 5:22–23 and talk about the fruit of the Spirit—not as a cute “be nicer” list, but as the Spirit’s evidence that Jesus is actually running your life. We break down what love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control look like in the real world—especially when you’re stressed, triggered, tempted, or tired. Because this isn’t behavior...
Ed & Jay put your emotions on the witness stand: “Rejoice always” and “In everything give thanks.” Not the cheesy, fake-smile version—Paul’s midnight-in-prison, scars-and-songs kind of joy (Acts 16:25). We talk about how real joy isn’t personality or circumstance… it’s union with Jesus and the Spirit’s fruit that shows up when life doesn’t. Then we tackle the hard line: you don’t thank God for evil—but you can t...
In this week’s Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed lean into Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 about prayer. Paul says to pray without ceasing. What does that mean? Join us for the conversation.
Pressure is coming. In this week’s Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed lean into Jesus’ “blessed under fire” promise in Matthew 5:10–12—because the Beatitudes aren’t bumper-sticker vibes, they’re a collision with the world’s values.
Jesus names the lanes: reviling (insults), persecution (exclusion and hostility), and slander (lies told “on my account”). If you live for righteousness and won’t rename Christ ...
This week on Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed walk straight into two of Jesus’ most uncomfortable blessings—because they don’t let you hide behind “good intentions.” From Matthew 5:8–9, we talk about what it means to be pure in heart (not perfect… single-minded)—a heart that’s been washed by God and keeps coming back to the sink when motives get muddy. Then we hit peacemaking—not peace-faking, not avoid...
This week on Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed step into round 2 of Jesus’ upside-down kingdom manifesto—Matthew 5:6-7. They unpack the next two Beatitudes—those hungry & thirsty for righteousness and those who are merciful. It’s another call to look in the mirror and have a little gut-check.

This week on Black, White, and the Red Letters, Jay and Ed step into the opening rounds of Jesus’ upside-down kingdom manifesto—Matthew 5:1–5. We unpack the first three Beatitudes and why they’re not soft, sentimental sayings but spiritual gut-checks: poor in spirit, those who mourn, and the meek. Jesus starts His sermon by blessing the people who know they’re bankrupt without God, who feel the weight of a broken wo...
This week on Black, White & the Red Letters, Jay & Ed talk through Jesus’ “tiny seed, unstoppable Kingdom” sermon—how the smallest acts of faith become a holy takeover. 🌱 From overlooked prayers to inconvenient kindness, mustard-seed moves don’t ask permission; they spread. Get practical, get real, and start planting where you stand. 🔥

☕ You’ve seen Jeremiah 29:11 on mugs and bumper stickers—but this verse wasn’t written for coffee breaks. It was sent to God’s people in exile 🪓, stuck in Babylon and desperate for a way out. Jay and Ed dig past the clichés 📖 and show how God’s promise of shalom isn’t about easy escapes, but real hope in the middle of chaos 🔥⚡. #HopeInTheMess #FutureAndHope #BlackWhiteRedLetters
“Be holy, for I am holy.” Sounds impossible, right? 😳 In this raw and honest episode of Black, White, and the Red Letters, Ed shares a deeply personal story about the day anger won 💢—and how God’s grace met him there 🙏. From broken family ties 💔 to a keyboard full of regret, this conversation reminds us that holiness isn’t about perfection; it’s about transformation 🔥. God calls us to lay down the old self and ...
In today's episode, Jay & Ed discuss what God does with our feelings of inadequacy. In Exodus 4, Moses said, “I can’t.” God said, “Watch Me.” 💥 You don’t need polished words or perfect strength—you just need to lean on the One who provides. Your weakness is the very place His power shows off. #NoExcuses #GodProvides #StrengthInWeakness
A battle-hardened centurion had seen crucifixions by the hundreds—😱 screams, agony, despair. But this one was different. Instead of curses, Jesus spoke forgiveness 🙏. Instead of fear, He gave hope ✨. Darkness fell, the earth shook 🌍, the curtain tore—and the soldier could only whisper through tears: “Truly this was the Son of God.” The same question still confronts us today—what will you do with Him? #SonOfGod #...
When Jesus forgave the sins of the paralytic in Capernaum, He wasn’t just healing—He was making a bold claim to be God. The religious leaders lost their minds, but for those who believe, His words still carry the same power today: “Your sins are forgiven.” #AuthorityOfJesus #ForgivenAndFree #FaithOverFear
Genesis 1:26–27 isn’t just ancient poetry—it’s a reality check. You were handcrafted by God, stamped with His image, and given the power to think, choose, and love. That means your value isn’t random, your dignity isn’t negotiable, and your destiny isn’t defined by culture. Creeping things creep—but you were created to carry His likeness and reflect His love.
#InHisImage #UnshakableWorth #LoveLikeHeLoves
James doesn’t play around—he calls us out on our reactions, our mouths, and our tempers. Listening before speaking, and refusing to blow up, aren’t just good manners—they’re proof that your faith is alive and real. Words, works, and reactions all reveal what’s really going on in your walk with Jesus.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos.
