Becoming Church is where we explore how the message and movement of Jesus isn’t just about becoming Christians, it’s about becoming something bigger - the kind of church the world actually needs. Hosted by Kristin Mockler Young, this podcast dives into the surprising ways faith shapes, and is shaped by, our real lives: family, politics, justice, culture, and beyond.

Episode 138 of The Becoming Church Podcast with John Fugelsang lit a fire in me — one I thought I’d lost. I started to lose faith in “my people,” but this conversation reminded me that love, grace, and truth aren’t just ideals — they’re the only way to truly reach people. Like John said, “Don’t call names, ask questions.” That line alone shifted something in me. This is the kind of podcast I’ve been missing — bold, compassionate, and deeply relevant. I’m so grateful it exists and I cannot wait t... more
