BROKEN BROKEN

This week we invite Kris Kilduff to talk about his story and why it’s so hard to be kind. Oh, and of course, there will be fist-bumping and ThunderCats as well.

In this episode of Broken Chris, Nathan & Brennon drink some coffee, eat some donuts & talk about what led Brennon to leave the Christian faith & his general thoughts on the church as he sees it today. 

How did the word “church” get hijacked?



“Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭7:48‬ ‭ESV‬‬

So just a bit of context for this episode, before this, we would come prepared with a specific topic and a certain time restriction that we had to shoehorn in. Nathan, Jacob, and I have been meeting in a donut shop every Wednesday morning for months, where we would just talk organically about issues of faith, church trauma, and maple bars. This is just one of those conversations. 

What is the biblical way to raise kids? I invite my family to the show to talk about children’s church, Sunday school, Awana, and youth group and how the church should always be fun for kids. Is there pressure from a Christian parent to raise the next generation in church?  And we talk about swallowing fire!!!

It comes for us all and touches every one of us. Death. when someone close to us passes, Is it okay to not be okay? Often we are told to snap out of it or they are in a better place so we should rejoice. When a child's father passes from cancer he is told by many members of the church that now he needed to be saved in order to seem him again which pushed him further away. How do we handle the loss of a child or a loved one, do we blame God? Do people who commit suicide or unsaved babies go to hell?  Being on staff I was told that I needed to snap out of it and there is a very real expectation of keeping up a happy appearance. This episode hurts, come and join the conversation.
