A series of consoling, challenging and enlivening conversations led by Kim and Todd about what we think it means to be a Christian today and how the way we hold our faith has implications for our church community and our daily lives. Held over the course of 3 sessions, we explore what it means to hold a Christian faith in this time and place, how we share that faith with others, and the generations to come and, finally, what it means to be and belong to a church at a time such as this.
The first of a series of consoling, challenging and enlivening conversations led by Kim and Todd about what we think it means to be a Christian today and how the way we hold our faith has implications for our church community and our daily lives.
In this first session, we hope to address some of the questions that have been posed:
- God doesn’t change, but over the years my Christian faith and beliefs have changed. Is that OK?
- How do I instill faith in my kids in ways that are intentional, invitational and not harmful?
- Is there a “Christian” view on various hot-button topics like abortion, or medical assistance in dying?
- Where is CapChurch theologically in relation to other churches on the North Shore?
Answers to these questions come from articulating what we think is core to Christian faith, what we are meant to hold onto more loosely, and how we integrate these things with our daily lives.
This first session was held on Wednesday October 23, 2024.
The second session in a series of consoling, challenging and enlivening conversations led by Kim and Todd about what we think it means to be a Christian today and how the way we hold our faith has implications for our church community and our daily lives.
This time we consider what it looks like to pass our Christian faith on to others, especially (but not exclusively) to the generation that comes after us. As we consider the theological, cultural, and political landscape in which we find ourselves, these evenings are intended to help us articulate and embody our faith in Jesus.

The third in a series of consoling, challenging and enlivening conversations led by Kim and Todd about what we think it means to be a Christian today and how the way we hold our faith has implications for our church community and our daily lives.
This third session focuses on questions about belonging – what does it mean to be ‘a church’, what does it mean to “belong to a church” in a time such as this.
This session was recorded on January 9, 2025.
