Sermons, teachings, and podcasts from Trinity Anglican Church in Atlanta, Georgia
Trinity Anglican Church - Atlanta
The Trinity Anglican Church podcast has been a lifeline for me during these challenging times. As a member of Trinity for over a decade, I have witnessed the power and impact of this church in my life, and I am proud to call it my home. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I was relieved to see Trinity quickly adapt and go online with their daily podcast. The word they share on the podcast is always relevant and resonates deeply with the circumstances happening in our city and country. Each episode leaves me feeling uplifted and encouraged, giving me something to look forward to every day.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the thoughtful reverence with which Pastor Kris and the entire pastoral team approach the texts each week. Their deep understanding of Scripture and ability to apply it to our lives is truly inspiring. Listening to their sermons challenges me to think deeply about my faith journey and encourages me to seek a closer relationship with God. Additionally, I appreciate that the podcast includes classes offered by Trinity. It allows me to continue learning and growing in my understanding of faith even when I can't physically attend.
While there are many positive aspects of this podcast, one potential drawback is that it cannot fully replicate the experience of being physically present at Trinity Anglican Church. There is something special about gathering together as a community, worshiping together, and participating in service opportunities within the church. As someone who has moved away from Atlanta, I miss having that opportunity to be an active part of Trinity's mission. However, despite this limitation, I am grateful that technology allows me to stay connected through the podcast.
In conclusion, The Trinity Anglican Church podcast has had a profound impact on my faith journey. Being able to listen to Pastor Kris and Ashley on a weekly basis has kept me connected with my spiritual community even when distance separates us physically. This podcast has been instrumental in deepening my understanding of Scripture and strengthening my relationship with God. I am truly grateful for this ministry and the opportunity to be a part of it, even from afar.

Alleluia! He is risen! - Easter is the Church's rejoicing season. It is a fifty-day feast devoted to celebrating Jesus' Resurrection and the ultimate restoration of all things. Through the visions in the book of Revelation, we are reminded that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a long way off but all around us. Even while we experience hardship, pain, and disappointment, we can know that the victory of Jesus over Death is coming to bear through the work of the Church on earth as it is in heaven.
