He had a nearly 64% completion percentage and threw for 3,725 yards with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. At the time it was a record for most touchdowns thrown in a season by a rookie (it has since been broken by Justin Herbert last season). After his rookie sea son, I had to take back what I initially thought about Mayfield. Although it was for only one season and the greats are judged on their full body of work, I had to give him credit for what he accomplished. I was eager to see what his sophomore campaign had in store. His second season was a letdown for me. I think Mayfield wanted so badly to live up to the hype that he had created. But with the Browns switching head coaches and offensive co ¬ Aug. 31 Community conver sations Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods are host ing community conversa tions.

Sept. 4-5 Coltrane Jazz and Blues Festival The John Coltrane In ternational Jazz and Blues Festival will be held Sept 4-5 in Oak Hollow Festi val Park, High Point. The yearly celebration of jazz and blues music honors Coltrane, a High Point na tive son, who graduated from William Penn High School, now Penn Grif fin School of the Arts. The two-day festival that happens over Labor Day weekend has become a ordinators so quickly, I knew it would be difficult for Mayfield to build upon his rookie season. Mayfield did start all 16 games of the 2019 sea son, but I am sure it was not the year he was hop ing for. The Browns only finished with a 6-10 record and he also threw 21 in terceptions that season as well. Mayfield did not let the 2019 season linger in his head. The 2020 season was in question due to the pandemic, so it was ques tionable who was going to be on the field any given week. He performed well enough all season for the Browns to earn their first postseason berth since 2002 with an 11-5 record. The Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round and May- field threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Mayfield is set to have a breakout val goers.

As we head into this season, Mayfield has his best chance to get to a Super Bowl. Cleveland is one of the best teams in the AFC and their running back tandem of Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb is the best in the league. Couple that with their stel lar defense and we could see something magical from the Browns. If Baker continues this upward trend in his career, this could be his best sea son yet. I have to admit he got off to a better start to his career than I antici pated. He has overcome several coaching changes and now that he has Kevin Stefanski and Alex Van Pelt for a second season and a healthy Odell Beck ham Jr., Mayfield could do what hasn’t been done in Cleveland.

Don’t throw them away be cause their pants are baggy, don’t throw them away be cause they got pregnant out of wedlock, don’t throw them away because he smokes a little marijuana here and there. Q: Do you think the pandemic opened the eyes of some of these older churches to realize they need to change things up from what they were previ ously doing? A: I would say yes and no. If you realize all those big-time bishops and pas tors that were around this city, where do.you see them now? Nowhere. When you are truly anointed and when you are spending time with God and doing right by God’s people, God will make sure he makes your name great. So many pastors are talking about their title, but people don’t even know their names. The problem is that the pandemic showed us who has the anointing and who don’t. If you can’t reach souls through a camera, I know damn well you can’t reach souls out of the damn pulpit. The pandemic has changed the outlook for church folk, because now they see that outreach is bigger than ever right now. I have seen more churches do outreach more than I have ever seen. I grew up in the Pentecostal church and I ain’t never seen out reach in the Pentecostal church. I didn’t even know what outreach was until I got the hell up out of there. The pandemic showed a lot of Pentecostal churches that it takes more than just a foot stomp, speaking in tongues and a little shout ing to reach a soul; it takes more than that.

SEPTEMBER 3.2021 TI« chrohioue pri m m i s f, „ Submission Guidelines to go out into the commu nity and reach them and the pandemic has opened up the mindset of the church to learn that outreach is be yond them four walls. Q: When I think about young pastors who em body outreach and do it dif ferently than other church es, pastor Curtis Friday of the Love Church comes to mind. He seems to have a great formula for attract ing young people. Do you agree with his methods? A: I definitely agree. Let me tell you something about Pastor Curtis Friday. I love that man and let me tell you why I love that man, and I love all God’s children. But the reason I love that man is every time we came in there, it was such a profound anointing from beginning to end. He wasn’t showboating with a preacher’s robe or collar, or a bunch of stand-up for this and that stuff. It was just a ‘come in here and get what you need’ type of at mosphere. It was just freedom in the atmosphere and the young people were drawn to that. They didn’t see any of the church mothers mak ing a stank face at them. They didn’t get called out by the bishop or anything; it was just a free atmo sphere to be who you are and let God do the rest for you. Him giving out cars to single mothers; do you know how many churches take tithing and offerings from so many people in the congregation, but they never take the time out to say ‘hey, let’s give back to single mothers’ who are always at the building helping out and at every auxiliary, helping out and always giving, giving giv ing, but there is nobody ever to give to them? That means a lot when a young person sees a pas- ' tor take the time out to en courage their mothers, or take the time out to men tor them and pull up to the courthouse with them and go speak on their behalf to the probation officer. Just to go over and beyond for the family members that have died from gun vio lence. That is the type of pastor that God intended for people to be. No pas tor is perfect, so he’s not perfect, but he has a heart of God. I think his message that he has with the Love Church is phenomenal, because these young peo ple are drawn there, that’s where they go. I know so many people in that minis try that have been blessed by that ministry. He has a heart for the people and God. Q: Do you think the larger churches in the city are doing enough to help the community? A: They could do more. They are so focused on packing their congrega tions and conventions that God never intended the church for. The thing is, these larger churches could provide so much more. With all this money they got, they could have start ed real summer camps that help our young Black men and women, they could have started help with job placement. You could hire people at the big church to work with janitorial work and show them how to work with computers for administrative assistant work. It’s so much they can do. They may be doing something, but their food pantries aren’t saving lives; I just wanted to put that out there. So many other churches have food pantries, but what about the tools that these young people can use to become a man, to become a woman? Some of them never been to the hood, so they are scared to go. How does the mayor pull up to the hood before they do? It doesn’t make sense to me. You know how many times I have reached out to pastors to work with me, but it was always a hidden agenda with them? They have to do more. Hope From page B3 quickly; and my reward is with me, to give ev ery man according as his work shall be” (Revelation 22:12).
