Elder J.B. Brockman: Brewing Better Politics at the Kappa Koffeehouse – Episode 66

In Episode 66 of The Town Square Podcast, Trey sits down with Elder J.B. Brockman, Chairman of the Political and Civic Action Committee for the Conyers-Covington Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Elder Brockman shares his journey from Benedict College and joining Kappa Alpha Psi in 1980 to his calling into ministry and current role as an elder at Victorious Life Church in Conyers. He explains the fraternity’s motto—“achievement in every field of human endeavor”—and how that plays out through service, mentoring young men, health and wellness initiatives, and deep community involvement in Rockdale and Newton counties.

The conversation centers on the Kappa Koffeehouse town hall forums, a nonpartisan, non-combative space where candidates and citizens meet eye to eye. Elder Brockman describes how these forums prioritize listening, civility, and real-time voter education, offering voters clarity without the negativity and attack-style politics we see at the national level. Together, Trey and Elder Brockman explore what it means to be “boots on the ground,” how to disagree without being disagreeable, and why the next generation needs more “solution agents” and fewer complainers. If you care about respectful civic engagement, mentoring, and building a healthier political culture in the messy middle, this episode is for you.
