Welcome to Episode 76 of the Kinship collective Podcast, We are ending otherness and cultivating kinship through content and community!



How do we deal with forced evolution?  What happens to us when all the circumstances of our lives change in an instant? How devastating is it to have to grieve the future we wanted? What is it like to realize that future was never meant for us?



Sarah Wineland joins us this week to share about her divorce and evolution into her truest self.  She shares about how being betrayed was also being freed and how such deep pain became such deep joy!  Then we discuss how faith impacted things.



Follow Sarah on Instagram @sariewineland to take the conversation further.

How do we listen well to our bodies?  How do we move from crisis to crisis in tune with what is most true about ourselves and the world around us?  Andrea Cammarota joins us this week to help us understand how to do this a bit.  Andrea is a board certified Chaplain, a Pastor, Church planter and most importantly for our conversation today a Spiritual Director.  We’ll talk a bit about her story and the work she has done to claim her primary identity.  Then we’ll discuss the difference between and intersectionality of Pastoring and Spiritual directing and how we can make our whole lives a “pilgrimage”. 



Follow Andrea on Instagram @itspastorandrea to connect and learn more about her Spiritual Direction.

I have been overwhelmed and at times paralyzed by all the death happening in Gaza. I have found myself feeling like nothing else really matters right now. In this episode I'll share some of what I'm feeling, 2 ideas that have really disturbed me, and a system for addressing situations like this in our lives. I intend for this episode to contribute to constructive engagement toward justice and centered peace for us all!

Does Christianity no longer feel like home to you? Are you finding it difficult to integrate intersectional identities in the “borderlands” of your life?  Then you’ve come to a helpful conversation with Patty Krawec.  She’s the author of an incredible book “Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call To Unforgetting The Past And Reimagining Our Future.”  She shared about her faith journey from Evangelical Christian to “Anishinaabe of faith” and we talk about how deeply colonization blinds us to our past and future. Then we reimagine Genesis 2:4-25 in a hopeful way I’ve never imagined it before… what if we were always meant to leave the garden?

Welcome to Episode 72 of the Kinship Collective Podcast, we are ending otherness and cultivating kinship!



Are you finding it hard to wade into the conversation about what is happening between Israel and Palestine in the Middle East right now? This week Dana Ayoob Leota joins us to talk about her family's history in the region and how she’s choosing to engage right now.  Dana exemplifies the maturity to be generous to those who disagree and talks a lot about how “othering” is a huge part of the conflict and the reason there is still so much violence in Gaza.  Then we reimagine Leviticus 19:33-34 and talk about “becoming”.

Welcome to Episode 71 of The Kinship Collective Podcast!



Do you have a Sexual Relationship With Yourself? Okay a little context, many of us come from conservative families and religions that never gave us permission to enjoy our bodies or worse made us responsible for how others engaged with their own bodies.  This week we get to talk with RN/RGN Cindy Scharkey about her mission of helping people experience, express and enjoy their sexuality!  Our conversation will give you really personal transformational insight into sex as well as really practical tactical ways to make sure you're setting yourself up for the best sex of your life.
