Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly
Kindled Podcast exists to speak truth and grace boldly to cultural, theological and political issues from a Biblical worldview. Speaking the truth in love with boldness, we will grow to become the mature body of Christ.
Love for God is kindled in our hearts as we are transformed by His power. May these conversations spur us on to love and good works so those near us and far would know that our Lord God is King. "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Revelation 12:11

The Differences Between the Pro-Life Movement vs. Abortion Abolition | Ep. 237
The fall of Roe v. Wade in 2022, long anticipated by conservatives as a victory for the pro-life movement, has not led to the expected decline in abortions that was prophesied. Instead, demand for abortion remains high, with efforts to enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions gaining momentum. Join me as I talk with Kayla Suderman to explore the ideological conflicts within the pro-life movement, including compromises made by anti-abortion politicians and lobbyists, and the sabotage of abolition bills by influential pro-life figures.Sponsors: We Heart Nutrition - Code KINDLED for 20% off (get an extra 10% off when you subscribe!)

New Thought: The Movement Shaping our Self-Obsessed World | Melissa Dougherty
Join us for a conversation with Apologist Melissa Dougherty where she helps us understand how our society got to be so toxically subjective, why endless positivity is inherently negative, and how we can live with truth and love in these self-obsessed times.
Dougherty deftly traces the roots of today's social chaos back to the 1800s philosophy of New Thought. With clarity, compassion, and a bit of loving snark, she exposes New Thought's deceptions and shows us why it's important for our minds and hearts to hold fast to biblical truth.

One mom who is part of my Instagram community and fell into one of these schemes shares her story today. It is a cautionary tale of something sounding too good to be true... and we know how that usually goes.
