  • Summary

  • In this episode, we’re talking with pastor, author, and Social Media Enthusiast, Kyle Penner. Join us as we talk about the COVID-19 pandemic. How should we deal with the polarization in our communities? Do Christians have a role to speak up politically? And how do we deal with the hate from people who claim to love Jesus?

    Kyle is one of the pastors at Grace Mennonite Church in Steinbach, Manitoba. During the pandemic, he has been outspoken on social media, encouraging people to follow government mandates and get vaccinated. He was also part of a provincial ad campaign which landed him in hot water. You can connect with Kyle on social media or at his blog - kylepenner.home.blog/.
