Praying with Your Feet with Lindsey Krinks | Rediscovering Jesus

“Thoughts and prayers” has become one of the king cliches of our time. So how do we begin to put meaningful action behind them to make a difference in the lives of the suffering?You’re listening to Happy & Holy, a podcast about discipleship and community and how we meet each other right where we are to be the people of God on planet earth. And when we do, we have the potential to become the happy and holy disciples we are meant to be. I’m your host Kate Boyd, and today, I am joined by Lindsey Krinks and we’re talking all about how to marry the physical and the spiritual in our worship and care. Lindsey is an activist, street chaplain, and co-founder of Open Table Nashville, an interfaith homeless outreach nonprofit. For over a decade, she has worked on the underside of Nashville—the streets, encampments, jails, slums, and underpasses—while also working with faith leaders, community organizers, and public officials to make the city more hospitable and just. In 2013, she graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School with a Master of Theological Studies degree and was ordained to serve as an interfaith street chaplain. Her first book, Praying with Our Feet, is now available for purchase!I was really encouraged and refreshed by the portrait of ministry Lindsey paints and how we can each step into that same role in our own lives. Belief and practice can’t be separated. They were always meant to be tied together, and Jesus showed us how. I’m grateful for people like Lindsey who continually point us back to embodying him in word and deed.
