This is a podcast about God, faith, and real life. We share sermons from our weekly worship service. Occasionally, we share interviews and other conversations that help us explore what it means to follow Jesus. Kindred Church is an inclusive community that helps people take their next steps in response to God’s unconditional love. We’re particularly committed to the excluded, ignored, and questioning. Check us out, all are welcome!

If we’re honest, church can be hard. It takes time. It takes energy. It takes money. So sometimes we might wonder, ‘Is it really worth it?’ As it turns out, people of faith have been asking that question for thousands of years. And God knows this is something we wonder about. So in today’s sermon, we’re looking at one powerful way that God answers this question for us. Join us for the finale of our series, “Arise! Shine!” and find out why church really is worth it after all.

As people of faith, we often give thanks to God for the resources we’ve been given. But we sometimes forget that our resources aren’t only for us. In today’s sermon we’ll explore God’s call to use what we’ve been given for the benefit of others. We’ll learn about the difference it makes when God’s generosity flows, not just to us, but through us. Don’t miss this third part of our series, “Arise! Shine!”

Conversations in the church about generosity can make some of us feel excluded, especially if we’re already worried that we don’t have enough. But in today’s sermon we’ll see that God invites us into a kind of generosity that includes all of us, even when we feel like we don’t have much to give. Join us for this second part of our series “Arise! Shine!” as we explore this inclusive kind of generosity in a helpful, practical way.

Looking back over our lives, we can often recognize that God was doing more in certain moments than we could see at that time. In today’s sermon we’ll explore God’s invitation to trust that the same is true right now, and we’ll consider God’s encouragement to dream big and to get ready for a future we can’t fully see yet. Join us as we kick off our new series “Arise! Shine!”

Have you ever been told that you’re not welcome in church because of your demographic or your community? Have you ever been told that you’re outside of God’s love because of how you identify? Tragically, Christians have often been guilty of marginalizing and excluding entire social groups, sometimes citing certain verses of Scripture for justification. But as we’ll explore in today’s sermon, Jesus rejects this kind of exclusion and the weaponization of Scripture that empowers it. Instead, Jesus shows us a better way. Join us as we conclude our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

At Kindred, we fully include women not only in the life of our church, but also in the leadership of our church. While some of us may take that for granted, others may have questions. After all, the majority of churches still place some degree of restriction on the roles women can fill. So why are we different? Are we neglecting the teaching of Scripture? Are we just going along with the culture? In today’s sermon, we’ll consider why we fully include women, why it is biblical, and why we’re better for it. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

Sadly, churches have a reputation for excluding people with struggles, flaws, and failures (which breeds hypocrisy because we all have struggles, flaws, and failures). But in today’s sermon, we’re exploring how Jesus does the opposite: In shocking ways, Jesus includes people whose lives are messy, broken, and in need of healing….aka people like us. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

We use the word ‘inclusive’ a lot at Kindred because it’s central to our mission. But we sometimes get questions and we often get assumptions about what that word means to us. So that’s what we’re exploring in our new series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’ Over the weeks ahead, we’ll look at 4 specific ways Jesus is inclusive and we’ll consider how we can follow his lead. In today’s sermon, we’re talking about the way Jesus includes people who are questioning, doubting, and even those who are deeply skeptical.

When Jesus calls us to follow, he doesn’t just mean we should connect with him at church on Sundays (though, as we’ve discussed in recent weeks, that is important). But Jesus calls us to walk with him daily. So how can we stay connected to God between Sundays as we’re busy with work, school, and family life? In this week’s sermon, we’re talking about how to cultivate healthy rhythms of personal devotion that can keep us connected to God daily, even on our most hectic of days.

Whether online or in-person, it’s never been easier to do church solo–without meaningfully connecting to other people. For busy people like us, the efficiency of doing church on our own can be appealing. But when we primarily do church solo, we miss the fullness of God’s intent for church and set ourselves up for spiritual struggles. In today’s sermon, we’ll talk about how to do church relationally and why that matters for each of us.
