Get to the Good Stuff Casey Grooms

Kendal Conner is the Group's Minister at Redeemer Fellowship in Kansas City. As a continuation from a conversation being had at the "Hot Takes on Hot Topics" podcast, Kendal and I talk about the ways that the Church often over emphasizes marriage and family and the ways that single people in the Church feel isolated. Subscribe to "Hot Takes on Hot Topics" for more episodes like this one as Benjie Shaw and I tackle hot topics that young adults encounter in culture and the way that we should respond as Christ followers. 

Caleb Jones and Kenzie Burgess are two singles who share some do's and don'ts of dating both from their personal experience and their observations of others and how church culture has shaped a few unhealthy habits in the Christian dating world. Enjoy this fun episode with Caleb and Kenzie!

Nicole and Wes have been married for 15 years. She joined me for a conversation where she shares her wisdom regarding things she's learned along the way and things she wishes they'd done differently.

In this episode, Nicole and I talk about the Newson's Family Mission Statement. You can view the mission statement on my blog -----> https://caseyegrooms.com/2020/07/18/newson-family-mission-statement/

In this episode, Ashley Yates shares her story and what she has learned in past and current dating relationships about what it does and does not look like to prepare for marriage. We discuss common dating/marriage myths and misconceptions and how we as believers can better set ourselves up for success in relationships by rethinking the preconceived notions we have been fed by both worldly culture and church culture alike.

Danielle Hall shares her story as a nurse and as a black woman in a majority white church and the ways she has experienced micro-aggressions and implicit bias in the faith space. Danielle shares what it is that she needs from her white friends/white church leaders in the midst of this significant time in our history as we navigate conversations around race relations/systemic racism in America.

A common criticism these days among white people who desire to learn more about white privilege and systemic racism is that their black friends are hesitant to be their teacher. April graciously shares why it's not the job of our black friends to be our teachers. I pray that you'll come to this conversation with an open mind and heart ready to learn no matter how uncomfortable this conversation may feel.
