"If we could all be more real about how hard life is, we would probably be more loving people." Today my guest is The Very Rev. Jonah Kendall, a colleague and friend who shares the story of a difficult and painful experience in his family. This is a conversation about being there for people when there are no words. And about leaning into the support of people, community, and rituals to give us the words we need. Thanks for listening.
Bio
The Very Rev. Jonah Kendall serves as the Rector of St. Thomas, Sun Valley, Idaho, as well as an appointed missioner for the Central Deanery of the Diocese of Idaho. Jonah was ordained at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on September 15th, 2001, just four days after September 11th. Throughout his 20+ years of ministry, Jonah has served four dynamic parishes, each in a completely different context. Jonah met his wife, Caty, while studying at the General Theological Seminary in New York when she was visiting her mother, a classmate of Jonah’s. They have two daughters, Scout and Beau. Jonah’s passion for ministry is in the cultivation of relationships that build connections between God, the Church, and the world. He enjoys the great outdoors, and when he’s not at church, you will find him hiking, skiing, or exploring with his family.
