Ron unpacks Peter’s vision, the surprising work of the Holy Spirit, and what it means for us today when God says, “What I have made clean, you must not call unclean.” From ancient tensions between Jews and Gentiles to our own mode...

    Acts - The Spirit of Unity with Rob Griffin

    Rob teaches from Acts 2 and reflects on the Pentecost story as a moment of radical inclusion and spiritual clarity. Instead of focusing on the spectacle of tongues, we explore what this passage reveals about God’s heart—speaking directly to the outsider, the marginalized, the ones who don’t usually get a seat at the table. We also ask what this means for how we understand the Holy Spirit today, and how the Church might carry that same spirit of unity and welcome into the world. Kindred Church...

    Sermon on the mount - Ron Toft

    In this episode, Ron Toft leads us in closing the book on our long-running Sermon on the Mount series.

We reflect on the Sermon’s structure, seeing its climactic center not at the end, but at the mountaintop: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." What does it mean to live out these words today...
