Unpacking Truths

Submit a Question!

Ever wondered how one reconciles a Jewish heritage with a newfound Christian faith? Kandi Neely, a staff member at Light of Christ, shares her compelling journey of navigating faith within an interfaith family. Raised by a Polish Catholic father and a Jewish mother, Kandi experienced a unique blend of religious influences. As her father embraced Christianity, Kandi found herself intrigued by Jesus's unconditional love. Join our conversation as Kandi recounts the pivotal Easter Sunday service that led her to accept Christ, blending her Jewish heritage with her Christian beliefs.
We also discuss the broader themes of faith, identity, and inclusivity within the church. Kandi offers profound insights into the importance of welcoming everyone without asking them to sacrifice their identity. She bravely opens up about facing anti-Semitism and her complex feelings toward Martin Luther's legacy. With humor and warmth, we explore what "cheesy Christianity" really means and challenge listeners to reflect on their own spiritual practices.
