In this first episode of Spirit and Truth, host Kipper Jones sits down with James Caldwell of The Music Education Group for a frank conversation about prostate cancer. Both Kipper and James open up about their diagnoses, treatment journeys, and the life changes they have faced along the way.
They emphasize the importance of early detection and regular health screenings. Together, both men discuss the delays, fears, and the hesitance many men have about seeking care, especially in Black and Brown communities where medical trust is often an issue.
Key takeaways from this episode:
Prostate cancer is highly treatable when caught early. Get regular PSA blood tests, especially if you have a family history.
Don’t ignore changes in your urinary health or sexual function.
Support and conversation matter. Seek out community, professionals, and care teams who listen and relate to your experience.
