Devil in Church

The devil can't always go around looking like the devil. If he did that, he ain't going to get nowhere.

Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join me as we sail through tales rooted in the vibrant cultures of Indigenous and African descent across the Americas and the Caribbean. Prepare for a delightful voyage as we unravel the mischievous antics of the devil in today's episode, "Devil in the Church." Discover how the devil, disguised as an ordinary church goer, attempts to sow discord among the faithful, only to be outsmarted by the cunning preacher. This tale is a humorous reminder of the power of faith and the strength of community.
