About this episode

Kaitlyn answers listener questions about communion, church membership, and living out Christian faith.

It's a mailbag episode, and Kaitlyn is taking on a wide range of listener questions about church, communion, and Christian formation. Is it okay to take the Lord's Supper by yourself at home if your church only celebrates it once a month? What does it actually mean to "live in light of the resurrection"? And how much theological training should pastors and ministry leaders have before stepping into leadership? Plus, Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle honestly with what to do when every church near you feels too casual, too shallow, or just not what you hoped for. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:33 - Can You Do the Lord's Supper Alone/ 11:21 - Living in Light of the Resurrection? 17:22 - Importance of Being "Theologically-Trained" 25:02 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.
