In this episode, I talk about the status of the Church in the United States. I cover statistics  based on church attendance that hopefully will be very eye-opening to you, so we can see the task at hand and know what to do about it. It is vital that we pay attention to these statistics and pray for ways to create alternatives for people to connect with God. 

In this episode, I share my Church story so you can get to know me, get to know my heart, and get to know what we are about. I share about my struggles to connect with the Church as an unchurched person and how I finally became at peace with following Jesus outside of the institutionalized church.  

The first thing I want to make absolutely clear is that we are not against traditional church. The point of me telling my church story is two-fold. To give non-christians something they can connect to, to discover God, and for people who consider themselves followers of Jesus who do not fit in the traditional church and need an identity. 

My heart is to love and reach people outside of the traditional church walls. My heart is to encourage and inspire traditional churches to reach beyond their walls. This is really what my story and this podcast is about, and that is what we will be discussing in the upcoming episodes. 

Welcome to the Loving All Peoples Podcast. My name is Kyle Jenkins. My wife and I have run a ministry for over 20 years in Dallas, Texas. Our purpose for this podcast is to connect the Church to the unchurched with stories, testimonies, and practical ways to connect with people outside of the Church.
