THE LIMITS WITH JAY WILLIAMS

Brian Flores on Taking a Stand Against the NFL

February 3, 2022 • Brian Flores is not messing around. The former Miami Dolphins head coach was fired last month, and had his eyes set on the top job with the New York Giants. But a misdirected text from New England Patriots general manager Bill Belichick convinced Flores, who is Black and Latino, that the hiring process was rigged against him, and that race was a major factor. He responded to the NFL by filing a class-action lawsuit on Tuesday. He was one of only three Black head coaches in the NFL at the time of his firing, in a league that has a majority of Black players. The lawsuit accuses the league of systemic racism and discriminatory hiring practices. It's made for a whirlwind 48 hours for Flores, who did not come to the decision to take legal action lightly. And it's arguably a louder stand than when Colin Kaepernick took his knee and paid the price. In this episode of The Limits, host Jay Williams sits down with Flores to talk about the change he hopes to inspire in the NFL, and the sacrifices he's willing to make to see that change take flight.

Send Me - Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala

“Send Me” was the ‘Song of the Day’ in the contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church on Sunday, February 6, 2022. It is certainly one of my favorites. Especially since I always associate it with one of my favorite Bible passages – and a favorite of many first responders: Isaiah 6 verses 1-8, especially verse 8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

"Send Me" Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala. Premiered Sep 28, 2021. "Send Me" was written by Brandon Lake, Jenn Johnson, and Kari Jobe Carnes.

VERSE 1

If it’s bandaging the broken

Or washing filthy feet

Here I am Lord, send me

If it’s loving one another

Even when we don’t agree

Here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 2

If I’m poor or if I’m wealthy

I’ll serve You just the same

Here I am Lord, send me

On the mountain or the valley

I will choose to praise

Here I am Lord, send me

CHORUS

If I’m known by how I love

Let my life reflect how much I love You

I love You

And before You even ask

Oh my answer will be yes

‘Cause I love You

Oh I love You

VERSE 3

If the truth cuts like an arrow

I will say it anyway

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

If it’s means that they’ll reject me

Lord I will still obey

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 4

When I’m standing in Your glory

I’ll be glad I chose to say

Here I am Lord, send me

Well done good and faithful

I live to hear You say

Here I am Lord, send me

TAG

Here I am Lord, send me

Here I am Lord, send me

SPONTANEOUS

Oh how I love You

With everything

With all my dreams, all my hopes

How I love You

You can have it all, You can have it all

You can have it all

What I have I give You God

Be it unto me according to Your word
