On this episode of Seasoned with Salt, I sit down with Christian Eddings, the visionary behind Just Cultured—a reimagined barbershop experience rooted in inclusion, accessibility, and community.
Over a decade ago, Christian, a Black Non-Binary Queer creative, started cutting their own hair to escape the exclusionary norms of traditional barbershops. What started as a personal necessity turned into a movement—a space where people can feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
From Oakland to Sacramento, Just Cultured is more than a barbershop—it’s a cultural hub where haircuts meet healing, and style meets self-expression. We talk about the journey, the challenges, and the impact of creating a space that truly embraces all identities.

Grounded in scriptures like Romans 12:18 and 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, this episode reminds listeners that while we’re called to be peacemakers, we are not victims. Tune in for wisdom, encouragement, and tools to protect your emotional and spiritual well-being during the holidays.
In this episode of Seasoned with Salt, we dive into the powerful truth of Romans 8:30 and how it applies to your life: “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
Many people feel the pressure to seek validation from others—whether it’s approval, favoritism, or a sense of belonging. But relying on man’s qualification can lead to insecurity and disappointment. Instead, we’ll explore how God’s process of predestining, calling, justifying, and glorifying gives you an unshakable advantage.
This episode will empower you to stop seeking human validation and start walking in the confidence that comes from being qualified by God. You’re not just chosen for what’s now—you’re equipped and ready for what’s next.
God can hear what they say about you. He's not phased. Their opinion of you doesn't influence His DIVINE plan for your life. In this episode, we reflect on hearing God over the noise!

In this episode of Seasoned with Salt, titled "Too Legit to Quit," we dive into the powerful story of Mephibosheth, a man who experienced life-altering setbacks from the moment of his birth. Dropped as a child and left physically disabled, Mephibosheth's journey seemed destined for obscurity and despair. However, God had a different plan for his life. Through this sermon, we explore how God's grace reaches us in our lowest places and transforms our stories, no matter how broken or forgotten we feel. Mephibosheth’s story reminds us that despite being dropped, overlooked, or written off, we are not disqualified from God's favor. Tune in as we discuss how God's intervention can elevate us from obscurity to prominence, and why, no matter the circumstances, we are "too legit to quit."
Let's finish the year strong!
