Kindavangelical is the podcast where we talk about more beautiful ways to live the Christian life. Sometimes the more beautiful way is more difficult, in fact it usually is, right? In this episode Pete discusses what to do, instead of flippantly asking someone to forgive you, after you’ve done something hurtful. It’s hard, and it’s beautiful too.

The church is struggling, people are leaving, and it leaves us wondering, is there any hope for the church moving forward? This honest discussion with Zach Lambert points to ways forward for the church and addresses some of the questions many of us who have left the church are pondering.
