Black-Eyed Peas, Greens, and the Seeds of Blessing

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0500

Why do we eat black-eyed peas and greens on New Year’s Day?

In this episode, we explore the history of Watch Night, Freedom’s Eve, and the agricultural wisdom behind the foods that sustained Black families through slavery and beyond. From faith to food sovereignty, this conversation reconnects us to the roots of blessing, provision, and intentional living.

Six Years, Six Seeds: A Legacy Replanted

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Welcome to Season 2!

After a quiet season, The A.G. Way Podcast returns with deeper roots and guided by legacy.

In this relaunch episode, we're sharing the truth behind the podcast hiatus, the growth that happened in the gap, and the lineage that shaped The A.G. Way. From Papa Sellie’s refusal to be a sharecropper and commitment to self-sufficiency, to Nannie’s quiet wisdom and Grandma’s belief in feeding the masses as ministry, this episode honors the roots that continue to bear fruit.

Now raising two young boys who joyfully tend the land, we're inviting you to reflect on the seeds planted by your own people and how to tend them today.
