"Sing Your Own Song (1964-03-06); The Right Thing This Day (1958-05-23) ",,"In this recording within the We Believe Series, Howard Thurman speaks to what it means to live a life that is truly one's own. Drawing from Catherine Coblentz' ""Blue Cat of Castle Town,"" and a story of a dog who has lost its bark, Thurman challenges the listener to discern what their true voice is, how one comes to singing their own song. Thurman agrees that the process of finding one's own song is difficult; however, Thurman maintains that finding your own song is one of the most integrous journeys that one can take. In this recording within the We Believe Series, Howard Thurman reflects upon an excerpt from his own writing, Deep is the Hunger. He reads a story of sailors and a chaplain stumbling upon the dead body of an enemy, and collectively discerning what they are to do with the said body. Drawing from this story, Thurman invites the listener to discern what is at stake when considering what it means to live a good life, which is followed by the discovery of what Thurman calls a ""basis for action."" Thurman explains that this form of discernment is something that is at the center of our being, and is worth deep exploration.

"The Blind Man (1958-10-03); Heaven, Heaven (1958-11-21)",,"In this recording within the We Believe Series, Thurman reflects upon the spiritual, ""The Blind Man Sat By the Way,"" which he calls a ""sorrow song."" When holding this song in tension with the biblical narrative of Jesus healing the blind man, Thurman comes to the conclusion that the blind man in the sorrow song was never healed. Drawing from the experience of people who were enslaved in America, Thurman reveals that there is no mentioning of the blind man being healed in the song because there was no healing upon the horizon for those who were singing the song. He continues by reflecting upon numerous stories from his life in order to further ask the question, ""What do we do with frustrations when there is no freedom in sight?"" In this recording within the We Believe Series, Thurman reflects upon and attempts to reclaim the old spiritual song, ""Heaven, Heaven."" Thurman critiques popular conceptions of the song, stating that it overlooks the reality that every person has to navigate societal expectations with a level of compromise. The question he asks in light of compromise, however, is ""At what point is the line drawn?"" Here, Thurman considers the deeper question of compromise being a means of deception, and that the ethical dimension of compromise is housed in the tension between deception as a means of survival and deception as a means of ethics.

"Balm in Gilead, Part 1 (1958-10-10); Balm in Gilead, Part 2 (1958-10-17)",,"In this recording within the We Believe series, Howard Thurman reflects upon the negro spiritual, ""There is a Balm in Gilead."" Rather than echoing the moan of the prophet Jeremiah, this song provides an answer to the prophet's cries. Rather than asking,"" Is there a balm in Gilead,"" Thurman notes that the early singers of this spiritual are affirming that there is indeed a balm in Gilead. From Thurman's perspective, this balm is the moral law which rests within all of humanity. Moral law is the restraint one has in themselves to take the raw material of pessimism and transform it into optimism. In this recording within the We Believe series, Howard Thurman builds upon his previous reflection upon the negro spiritual, ""There is a Balm in Gilead."" Here, he echoes the words from his professor and mentor, George Cross, when he remarks, ""The contradictions in life are not final and ultimate."" Here, Thurman is asserting that when one conceptualizes life as static, one is imprisoning oneself; however, when one conceptualizes life as dynamic, one is pursuing a life of freedom and fullness. Thurman explains to the listener that in this dynamistic perspective, one finds the energy and strength that is associated with optimism; thus, one is able to find tools to heal.

"Boundaries of the Self (1961-11-24); Confidence in God (1958-06-13)",,"In this recording within the We Believe series; Howard Thurman reads from James Cane Allen's ""The Choir Invisible,"" in order to reflect upon the ways in which one can come to understand community. He notes that in one's own quest for identity, that relationships can become utilitarian, only being aware of community ""at points of relevancy to our purposes."" What Thurman is insisting in this recording, is that when one pushes past the superficial boundaries of separateness, that one can find the ""deep, hidden springs of magic"" which informs one's understanding of the divine. In this recording within the We Believe series: Howard Thurman reflects upon a passage from the prophet Jeremiah. From the reading, Thurman ponders what it means to have complete confidence in God. He notes that there are longings of the heart that are much deeper than any desire for material possessions. For Thurman, it is in the places of ""the deepest needs of the spirit,"" that one discovers what it can mean for one to understand these needs of the spirit.

"If I Ascend Up to Heaven (1961-01-06); The Patience of Unanswered Prayer (1958-04-11)",,"This recording has two parts. In ""If I Ascend Up to Heaven,"" Thurman explores the idea that God is present in the joys of life and the darkest of times. He also dwells on the idea that we often feel isolated from others, but that no one is isolated from God. In ""The Patience of Unanswered Prayer,"" Thurman explores the value of learning the patience of unanswered prayer. He suggests that this patience can lead away from a focus on the hunger for something that has not come to pass. Instead, we can focus on what it can mean to deal with that hunger and how it can help us understand ourselves. He then offers a number of ways in which we can help answer the question, “What do you do with the frustrations of your own life?”","Thurman, Howard","MSS 394","Pitts Theology Library, Emory University",1961-01-06,"Description by Spencer Roberts",,,audio,,,394-791,,,,,,,,,"","Edited - GL 7/29",,"The Patience of Unanswered Prayer; Presence of God (ET-50; GC 12-3-71), 1971 Dec 3",1960s,,,,"WHDH-TV, Boston, Massachusetts",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/pittspublic/thurman/pdf/394-791.pdf,AudioWithTranscription,"We Believe (Television Series, 1958-1965)",1,0

"The Idiom of Brotherhood (1963-11-15); The Big Dream, the Little Act (1959-05-29)",,"In this recording within the We Believe series; Howard Thurman reads from his text Meditations of the Heart. He tells a story of a 69-year-old woman who had come to realize that she did not know much about the black community and decided to go to the library to educate herself on black history. After her time in the library, she was committed to telling the ""facts"" about black people while she was on the bus and around town. Thurman reflects upon the role that responsibility plays in relation to one's citizenship to humanity. In this recording within the We Believe series; Howard Thurman reads a meditation that speaks of two men who were once enemies sharing the same prison cell. From this meditation, he asks the question of what it means to overcome evil, and anticipate the Kingdom of God? He continues that it is in the disruption of barriers of hatred that humanity builds against itself that one can begin to anticipate the inbreaking of the Kingdom of God. He continues, when we put our lives at the disposal of ""that in which we stand,"" no matter how big or small, one is pursuing the greater good of humanity.

"The Meaning of Love (1958-03-07); A Sense of What is Vital (1959-01-30)",,"In this recording within the We Believe series, Howard Thurman reflects upon a passage from 1 Corinthians to elaborate on his understanding of love. He defines love as ""the experience of being dealt with at a point in oneself that is beyond all the good and beyond all the evil. He notes that the love of God functions as the exemplary love to which humanity should strive towards. Thurman's conception of love is not possessive nor transactional, rather, it is interdependent and comes from the heart. In this recording within the We Believe series, Howard Thurman reflects upon the Apostle Paul's phrase, ""a sense of what is vital."" Thurman continues by developing his understanding of wisdom, and how wisdom points one towards awareness of vitality. Because you can only know of vitality by means of signs, Thurman suggests that it takes wisdom to discern which symbols actually point towards vitality.

"Supportive Order Inherent in Life (1963-05-17); For Love's Sake (1958-05-30)",,"In this recording within the We Believe Series; Howard Thurman reads from his text, ""The Inward Journey."" Thurman's reading speaks to the intricate ways in which human life and experience is ordered in a synchronistic fashion. It is in one's understanding of creation's interrelatedness, Thurman suggests, that one can come to understand that the entirety of one's existence belongs. In this recording within the We Believe Series; Howard Thurman reflects upon a poem from Eugene V. Debs, speaking to notions of solidarity and love. He notes that notions of love and disease both have a contagious characteristic, and that there is great responsibility in one's choosing of love or disease. To share one's heart, thus one's love, is to invite fellowship and community. To share one's disease, is to invite isolation and individualism.
