  • Belonging

    As a mother of a son with Down Syndrome, this podcast of belonging in our Christian community hits close to home. Dr. Kenny was raw and real and gave me language and understanding from a perspective I will never fully understand - my son’s perspective. It was helpful to hear as part of our journey of belonging.

  • Soooooo good!

    I can’t even remember how I accidentally found this podcast but I’m SO thankful that I did!! I started with the episode about crt and I could have wept while listening just because I loved how the focus was on peacemaking while also objectively looking at truth (as opposed to passionate ranting, polarization etc). I can’t wait to listen to more episodes - I’ve already shared this one with about 15 people!!
