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!

Unfortunately, Christians in our society have earned a reputation for being judgy, exclusive, homophobic, and self-righteous. No wonder we’re sometimes embarrassed and ashamed to identify ourselves as Christian. But what if we took a different approach? Maybe we can’t change the national reputation of Christians, but we can change the perception of people around us. What if we showed the people in our lives a different, more humble, more loving image of what it means to be a Christian? What if we showed the people around us what Jesus’ love *actually* looks like? We wouldn’t just change minds, but we could also change hearts and lives…just like Jesus calls us to do. Join us as we conclude our series, “Influencers.”

If we’re honest, most of us spend a lot of our time working to improve, advance, achieve, earn, acquire, impress, or otherwise build ourselves up in our own eyes or the eyes of others. We often assume that building ourselves up is the way to fulfillment in life…and yet we never seem to arrive. So in today’s sermon we’ll discover that Jesus calls us to a better way. Jesus challenges us to shift our focus away from ourselves so that we can focus on something much more important and much more fulfilling. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Influencers.’

In this season of resolutions, many of us have adopted new goals for the year ahead. But as we muster up the willpower to make some changes, there’s something we often forget: Our success doesn’t just depend on our personal resolve. It depends on the people who surround us. The influence of those around us is almost always stronger and more persistent than our own willpower. In today’s sermon, we’ll discover how Jesus leveraged this insight to help his followers grow in faith. And we’ll explore some practical implications that will empower us for significant new steps in our faith journey in 2024. Join us as we kick off our new series, “Influencers.”

Despite the idyllic ways the Christmas season is depicted in popular media, this is a time of year that’s unavoidably messy. Whether it’s the financial strain, the family tensions, spiritual baggage from our past, or just the constant feeling of unpreparedness, Christmas can leave us feeling like we’re a mess. So in today’s sermon, we’ll take some time to reflect on the extraordinary story of our God coming to meet us right in the middle of the mess.

Sometimes our past comes back to haunt us. Whether it’s mistakes we’ve made, pain we’ve endured, or a loss we’ve suffered, our past can stick with us in the present and shape our outlook for the future. And in the nostalgia of the holiday season, baggage from our past can feel especially heavy. So in today’s sermon we’ll talk about a powerful source of hope when we’re feeling the weight of our past. Join us as we continue our Advent series, “The Redemption of Scrooge.”

Christmastime is supposed to be a season of joy. And yet, for many of us, sustaining joy through this season can be a real struggle. Whether it’s family conflicts, financial strain, overloaded schedules, or just impossible expectations, there are a million ways December can sap our joy. So in today’s sermon, we’ll learn from Jesus (and from Ebenezer Scrooge!) how we can sustain a deep sense of joy as we prepare for Jesus’ birth. Join us as we kick off our new sermon series, ‘The Redemption of Scrooge.’

On this final Sunday before resuming our typical sermon series, Pastor Daniel and Care Team Leader Lianne MacGregor share a unique conversation about how the process of recovery from addiction can help us better understand God’s grace. Many of us have personal experience with addiction, whether through our own addictions or those of a loved one. And all of us are recovering from something. So whatever your experience and wherever you are along your faith journey, we hope you’ll find this conversation illuminating, inspiring, and helpful.
