Acts 21-22 | Kristin Garrett and Drew Dixon

My guests today are Drew Dixon and Kristin Garrett.

Drew Dixon is a minister and spiritual director in Auburn, WA who longs to serve and shape the church through teaching, spiritual formation, and pastoral care. Drew currently serves at Federal Way Church of Christ where he regularly preaches, creates spiritual resources, and provides care to the congregation. He also facilitates listening spaces for individuals and community through spiritual direction and as a coordinator with Renovaré’s Fellowship of the Burning Heart. During his downtime, Drew enjoys slow mornings, scenic walks, deep conversations, watching films, reading fantasy, history, and spiritual writings, and spending time with his wife, Katelyn (who is an incredible writer and photographer). You can find more from Drew or connect with him on his website: https://drewldixon.com/

Kristin Garrett is passionate about The Church and helping others disentangle cultural narratives and ideology from their understanding of what the Bible says about the Body of Christ. She is also passionate about discovering the roots of how disinformation infects groups and has spent part of the past year and half in a small disinformation work group.  Kristin has volunteered in special education advocacy and feels privileged to be in a church that is intentionally laying down a pathway to becoming more inclusive.  Kristin lives with her husband, Chris (a worship and youth pastor), their son, Samuel (a twice exceptional teenager) and their dog, Theo.  They love playing board games, riding bikes, going to speed cubing competitions and having (sometimes ridiculously complex) conversations about the intersection of philosophy, science, multidimensional theory and theology. 

Are you disentangling your faith from the culture around you? The greatest tool in that journey for me was the Bible itself. You’ve probably noticed that here on the show we love the Bible, and we take it seriously - but not always literally, and that means that meaning can get a little complicated. But you don’t have to let that overwhelm you. I’ve put together the Big Picture Toolkit to help you understand how all of Scripture fits together in one incredible story, learn some new questions to ask to get at meaning without getting overwhelmed, and see new connections between Old and New Testaments with a special Bible Reading Plan. If you’re ready to get back to basics of your faith, the Bible is a great place to start, and the Big Picture Bible Toolkit can help. Grab yours today free at kateboyd.co/bible.
