Kindred

Off the back of Valentine’s Day and some emotional voice message ping pong, we thought it made sense to debrief further on the disappointment of delay and the act of hoping through long stretches of waiting. Proverbs tells us ‘a hope deferred makes the heart sick’, so how do we deal with a heart that feels sick of waiting and tired of hoping? Follow along at @kindredthepodcast to stay updated with...

When someone asks ‘how are you’ what is your default response? We discuss the fine line between the casual ‘I’m good’ and perhaps the more raw and vulnerable answer we have but may not want to give. Join us for a therapy session filled with honesty, seasoned with truth, and sprinkled with giggles. Follow along at @kindredthepodcast to stay updated with the latest eps.

This episode was recorded off the back of the festive season, New Year’s Day to be exact. We thought we’d share some journal entries and stories from the past couple weeks, and just debrief on it all, while the feelings were still fresh in our minds. Our hope for this conversation is to encourage anyone who had to fight to find the joy or keep a smile on their dial this Christmas season, God has t...

Hello, welcome back to Kindred! We asked a friend for a prompt for today’s conversation and were given the meaty topic of idols. We all have them, whether we are aware of them or not. They creep into our hearts, often as innocent desires, but quietly and before we know it, they have taken the throne as idols. In this conversation we discuss what it looks like to first identify when a desire has be...

Hello, welcome back to Kindred! Being confronted by your own weakness is never easy and these past few weeks have had us both feeling a little fragile. BUT it is in our weakness that his strength is made perfect. In a much needed conversation for us both, we discuss the ups and downs of life lately and share the revelations and reminders of his love that we have found even in the midst of the hard...

Hello, welcome to Kindred! We are back after a little break and today we are talking about validation. It’s so easy to fall into the lie that we are validated by the things we have and the things we do. We get honest about the warped perceptions we have held, the lies we have told ourselves and of course, the truth of the matter; that we are worthy because our Heavenly Father has called us worthy...

Hello, welcome back to Kindred! Today we are continuing our conversation on refining fire. It gets vulnerable and a little emotional as we share the health journeys we are currently walking through; the hard parts, but also the silver linings. We hope this encourages you, whether you are walking through a diagnosis or a refining fire of different kind; Jesus is with us in them all. Follow along at...

Hello, welcome back to Kindred! Today’s conversation is all about the refining process. We share personal stories of our own fiery moments and some scriptures that have really encouraged us.
