Stay ConnectedBecoming Church is where we explore how the message and movement of Jesus isn’t just about becoming Christians, it’s about becoming The Church the world needs.
Hosted by Kristin Mockler Young, this podcast dives into the surprising ways faith shapes, and is shaped by, our real lives: family, politics, justice, culture, and beyond.

“It’s like if The Chosen was done by one guy who is not prepared” is the way Anthony Russo explains his project, The Bible is Funny. A lot of people use scripture to manipulate or shame but Anthony is using it to provide a safe space where people can interact with it in a new way. This conversation will make you laugh and remind you that Christianity doesn’t have to be quite so serious.

Dr. Michelle Ami Reyes knows that parents need help having Biblical conversations about race with our children regardless of their age. In her book, The Race Wise family: 10 Postures to Becoming Households of Healing and Hope, she invites black, brown and white parents to journey together as we learn how to move from what not to do or say toward a more kingdom minded - and even joy filled conversation. This is a book that combines theology and practicality and in this episode, Michelle further explains some of the concepts and tools for parents of toddlers to teens.
