Kalos Conversations

The landscape across the globe has changed dramatically in the last two weeks.  Churches are creatively embracing how to love and disciple their people, while social distancing is ordered and the threat of sickness present.  Seven Mile Road has had to pivot and shift church.  In that, there have been evidences of how our work in discipling the women through the Kalos track has readied them for this moment.  

Matt and Patti take some time to address the upcoming release of what What Church Can Be in this unique time and why the message of the book is needed more than ever.  They also share some on the ground moments of how the whole church is benefiting as women embrace where God has called them and look to serve and love those in need.

One of the questions we often get is, "How can we establish the kind of culture at our church where something like Kalos Track or Kalos Team can actually happen?" Well, we wrote a book on that! 

In this episode, Patti and Matt talk about the soon-to-be-released "What Church Can Be" book which walks the reader through both the theological vision and boots-to-the-ground practice that has formed the cultural "soil" at Seven Mile Road in which our Kalos work has thrived.

In this episode, we hear about Patti's weekend serving the women of Remnant Church in Richmond, VA. We also touch base on how the months post-Kalos-Conference have been and what's on the horizon with our work. 

Jesus intends for the women in our churches to become holy and feminine forces for gospel advance. In this talk, Patti Rosell cast a big, beautiful, and Biblical vision of this for us.

Jesus' women have always advanced the gospel by saying "yes!" to the glories of their God-assigned femininity. In this talk, Matthew Kruse surveyed the Scriptures to show how partnership in ministry is driven by a woman wholeheartedly embracing (not denying or muting) her unique callings.

One way of confessing Christ is by delighting in and living out God's creative intentions for us as men and women. In love and wisdom, God created our race male and female, equal yet distinct. In this talk, Matthew Kruse unpacked some of the glory of that reality.

Jesus' people have always labored side-by-side as men and women for gospel advance in their homes and churches. In this talk, Patti Rosell spoke about how seeing the church as a missional family engenders partnership in gospel work.

We pulled together a few of the women who have done Kalos Track and are serving on a real live Kalos Team to hear their experiences and insights.

We built in some unrushed time for conference attendees to ask anything that they wanted. This was the second hour of question and answer.

We built in some unrushed time for conference attendees to ask anything that they wanted. This was the first hour of question and answer, which covered topics from loving single women to how to read those passages that address women (or men) only to what real life hospitality looks like.
