Today’s episode of Loving Kindness Everyday was recorded at Rachell Tires & Wheels, right on the corner of Memorial and Boulevard in southeast Atlanta, Georgia. While I was there, I met Alan D. Jenkins, and we ended up talking about Rivian, water, and responsibility. I’m excited to share that conversation with you, and I believe you’ll find it just as thought-provoking as I did.

What happens when you set everything up for your “summer of success”… only to see it taken away overnight? In this shorter, street-side chat with Ken from Alpharetta, a conversation about shipping costs, packaging, and the wastefulness of consumer culture opened up into something deeper: What is the true weight of our choices, and how do they shape the future for all of us? From there, we reflect on another kind of...

info_outlineSome stories unfold in ways we could never plan—this is one of them.
This episode begins at the end, where filmmaker Sharon “Rocky” Roggio and I, Kindness Calloway, found ourselves sitting inside Andy Stanley’s church in Alpharetta, Georgia, just after the 2023 Unconditional Conference. How did we get there? And what deeper meaning was woven into this moment?
Recorded February 2024, this conversation unpacks the divine synchronicity that connected 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, Andy Stanley, and the broader discussion of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christianity. You’ll also hear from Christian Amaro, who shares their perspective on how Stanley’s words impact our community.
We dive into the “gray area”—the space where some Christians believe homosexuality is a sin to be condemned, while others believe LGBTQ+ individuals are created and loved by God. Andy Stanley has positioned himself somewhere in between, and we begin the work of unpacking that tension.
This is just the start. In future episodes, we’ll continue this conversation with others who attended the conference and have strong perspectives on faith, sexuality, and biblical interpretation.
This is a conversation about faith, love, and the stories that bring us together. Listen in, and let’s keep unraveling the threads of divine synchronicity.
