July 06, 2021 episode 1.5 : the "kingdom kid" experience | part 1
Kicking off our Kingdom Kid Experience series, we invited a few of our friends who, generally, had a really good experience growing up in our group of churches to have a conversation about our varied experiences. We have Mari Sawamura (Boston), Mark Llorens (North Virginia), Nick Ragan (Dallas/Denver) and Alisa Krater (Germany). This first part is a discussion about what we all loved about our childhoods in church, as well as starting to dive in to what we didn’t love.
Listen to Part 2 to hear the Spacemakers describe their experiences, diving deeper into what makes being a “Kingdom Kid” easy or hard.

June 22, 2021 episode 1.4 : rethinking diversity
A conversation among the Spacemakers discussing the importance of taking racial diversity further into true inclusion and what that looks like. Is there a difference between diversity and inclusion?
Discussion questions:
    ⁃    Does my immediate circle look and think just like me?
    ⁃    Who do the people I respect and follow look like?
    ⁃    Does my church or community reflect the demographics of my area in race, economic status, or age? Why or why not?
    ⁃    Is there a demographic that I actively avoid? Why?
    ⁃    Do different types of people feel comfortable talking to me? Why or why not?

June 08, 2021 episode 1.3 : let’s talk about talking
Before we release any other topical episodes, the Spacemakers wanted to have a talk with our listeners about what kind of foundation we want our podcast to have moving forward. We are going to be highlighting a lot of different experiences, so we want to talk about listening, empathy and validation before we can even move on to talk about the many topics we have coming up.
