Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly
Haley Williams
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

“What am I feeling?" Giving our kids (and ourselves) emotional safety | Christi Straub | Ep. 77
Feelings can be complicated, and often we as adults have a harder time identifying what we're feeling than our kids do.
Christi and I chat about how we can provide our children with emotional safety, which the research says is the most important element for children to develop emotionally in a healthy environment.
Emotional safety is not woo-woo or abstract. It simply means that your emotions are allowed and you are safe to bring them to someone, but they don't get to be the boss of you.

She is Bold: Obedience in your Work | Samantha Royer | Ep. 76
Boldness in our faith is not reserved for the super-spiritual OR the uber-secular. Today I'm chatting with Samantha Royer, founder of She is Bold, about how she is learning that bold obedience is possible regardless of the circumstances or environment we find ourselves in.
Samantha left a lucrative career in marketing to follow as assignment God placed in her heart, and she's letting us in behind the scenes on just how that's looked playing out in real life.

Come as you are, but don’t stay that way | Whitney Capps | Ep. 75
Our world is filled with fake facades, form the unrealistic filters on social media to the "holier than thou" personas seen in certain hypocritical believers.
To combat the fake trends, a new trend has emerged--one that fights the facade with transparency and vulnerability. But is the "god" of brokenness, realness and honesty left us with a glorification of "Messy Christianity?" Are we elevating brokenness, focusing on self obsession rather than being changed? Rather than being truly transformed?

Social Media. Two words that strike an emotion in each of us. Sometimes it's obsession, sometimes dread, depression, encouragement, hope or not-enough-ness.

Lindsey Falls and I are chatting today about the wonder of social media and how we can use it to not only encourage, but have a Holy Spirit-inspired strategy. Get ready!

Self care isn't bath bombs: Self care for she who dislikes the term "self care" | Jaime McLaughlin | Ep. 70
I confess: I hate the term self-care. Always have, probably always will.
But Jaime McLaughlin helped me see that I'm not alone: she ALSO dislikes this term because it's been completely taken over by commercialism that tells us we just need one more manicure, one more massage, one more vegan, super sparkly bath bomb - to be happy.
Jaime is here to call BS on all that and to help women see what lies fundamentally beneath their desire for inner peace and comfort and joy: the need for Jesus.

The Lies Moms Believe | Rebekah Hargraves | Ep. 69
"Your post-partum body isn't as good."
"You should feel guilty for working as a mom."
"My success as a mom is dependent on how my children turn out."
"You are enough all on your own."
Have you believed one of these lies? I certainly have.
In today's episode, I chat with Rebekah Hargraves about the lies we as women and mothers often believe. Rebekah shares with us what she has learned about 2 Corinthians 10:5 - "taking every thought captive" - rather than be controlled by them.
