Welcome back to our second season of In My Place. This special series educates listeners on what communities like Nashville can do to prevent and end homelessness — while caring for our neighbors who are still unhoused.In our first two episodes of this season, we talked about what the first point of contact is like between someone who's experiencing homelessness and someone who could potentially offer help — and then how they build trust after that point.In this episode, we talk about what happens next on the road home: the processes and paperwork it takes for people to transition out of homelessness to housing.Over the course of nine monthly episodes, we're learning about what it feels like to access services and weave through our local homelessness and healthcare systems. We're discussing what services work, what resources are missing, and what ideas our guests have for improvement.This series was created thanks in part to support from Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and was produced by Judith Tackett.Guests: Brian Haile, CEO of Neighborhood Health Jesse Call, resident care manager at The Village at Glencliff India Pungarcher, Associate Director of Advocacy, Open Table Nashville

  When we put our faith into action and center justice, fighting for the rights of everyone, particularly those most marginalized, we embody Christ. Mom and I caught up with Lindsey Krinks, Advocacy Director and co-founder of Open Table Nashville, a non-profit and interfaith community based in Tennessee whose work includes four core pillars: “street outreach, education on issues of homelessness, a solidarity network, and advocacy with our friends on the streets.”   Throughout this episode we discuss Lindsey's spiritual journey and embrace of liberation theology, and how it led her to the work she does now through Open Table Nashville (OTN) which focuses on collective liberation. OTN understands that without a systemic analysis of homelessness and poverty, we cannot, as a society, shift away from these issues. We also dive into the many ways scripture and spiritual teachers such as Saint Francis of Assisi (“Preach the gospel at all times; use words when necessary.”), call us out of the pews and into purposeful action. Lindsey shares practical tips for showing up in our church spaces, and within our day-to-day lives in support of our friends experiencing homelessness.  In addition to her work with OTN, Lindsey is the author of Praying with our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Street which invites readers into her story as a street chaplain, activist, and nonprofit leader standing at the margins of American society, and on the front lines of social justice movements where faith means getting your hands dirty in the struggle for a better world. You can support the work of OTN by making a donation (at any level) , signing up for an educational training session (so you can show up in your community and make a difference), or reach out to them to do a speaking engagement at your church / within your community.  Stay Connected with Lindsey's Work: Lindsey KrinksOpen Table Nashville  Instagram: Open Table Nashville (@opentablenashville)  Facebook: Open Table Nashville, Inc.

We've missed you all! We're back with our 5th season!  Given the state of our world, Mom and I are centering the urgnecy of rooting in God's radical love; our guiding verse of scripture this season is 1 Cornithians 13:13 - "And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Throughout this episode, we discuss embodying God's call to love radically, building beloved community, connecting more deeply with God in prayer (and some ways to do this), while also centering prayer for the many who are suffering in Palestine (hostages both Israeli and Palestinian), Congo, Sudan, Tigray, and here, within the U.S. as we live through election season.  Mom and I also uplift some upcoming guests this season - Lindsey Krinks, co-founder of Open Table Nashville (outreach and advocacy for persons experiencing homelessness)  and author of Praying with our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets, Kaitlin Johnstone, co-founder of Kind Cotton (tees and merch. that powers the distribution of inclusive books for kids across the country), Porsche Veu (@ThePoeticActivist - poet, speaker, educator and artist) and Christians for a Free Palestine, among others.

Chaplains often show up on the worst days of people's lives. They arrive in a hospital room after a distressing diagnosis. They accompany police to help inform someone of a loved one's death.One in four Americans have been visited by a chaplain, usually at a hospital or hospice, though chaplains also work in prisons, on college campuses and with the military and police and fire departments.But the role of spiritual caregiver is evolving as society becomes both less religious and more religiously diverse.At the end of last year, Fairview Health Services laid off more than a dozen staff chaplains as part of a larger round of layoffs, raising questions about whether patients' spiritual care will continue to be seen as part of a health system's core services.MPR News host Angela Davis talked with three chaplains about the work they do and how it's changing.

Praying with Our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets (Brazos Press, 2021), written by Lindsey Krinks was published by Baker Publishing Group in 2021. In this personal, and pastoral, account of working alongside Nashville's homeless population, Lindsey teaches us about God's heart for the poor and how to work toward collective liberation. At age twenty, Lindsey Krinks thought she had her life figured out. But a devastating injury and an unexpected encounter with a homeless organizing group disrupted her plans and opened her eyes to the immense suffering and injustice around her. Awakened to a fierce pursuit of justice and a faith that called her to "pray with her feet," Krinks plunged into the underside of American society, where she found both staggering loss and astounding love. As a street chaplain, activist, and co-founder of Open Table Nashville, Krinks takes us on an unforgettable spiritual journey to tent cities, alleys, slums, and the front lines of movements for justice. Praying with Our Feet challenges preconceptions about people who live on the streets, calling us to move from charity to justice and to get our hands dirty in the struggle for a better world. Readers who are dismayed by the world's suffering but don't know where to start will find much inspiration in this intimate and moving book. Includes end-of-book discussion questions for each chapter. Meg Gambino is an artist and activist currently working as the Director of Outreach for an addiction recovery center.

Lindsey Krinks, cofounder of Open Table Nashville,  talks with Word&Way President Brian Kaylor about her new book Praying with Our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets.

Join an online small-group conversation about this book later in June.

As kingdom builders, we are called to care for the poor and vulnerable. It is not always easy to know what to do, and it can even feel a little uncomfortable. As people who love Jesus and His kingdom, it is our duty to lean in to the discomfort and discover our unique role in this space. You are officially invited to join the beautiful work of justice. Let's go! Lindsey answers questions like... What are some misconceptions about homelessness you find yourself having to correct as you educate and advocate?  What would you say to someone who experiences some fear around those who experience homelessness? What do we need to keep in mind as we attempt to walk alongside those who experience homelessness, so that we are actually helping and not harming? Lindsey Krinks (MTS, Vanderbilt Divinity School) is a street chaplain, activist, and nonprofit leader who has worked for over a decade on the front lines of social justice movements. She is the cofounder of Open Table Nashville, a nationally acclaimed interfaith homeless outreach nonprofit. Krinks has served as a fellow with the New Leaders Council, a national network for millennial leaders, and regularly speaks to student, church, and community groups across the country. She was featured in a documentary about Nashville's largest homeless camp in 2019 and has been featured in dozens of Nashville news stories.

Today I’m chatting with the wise and incredibly kind Christina Suzann Nelson. Christina is an incredible author, and through connecting with her and learning about some of the story behind her most recent book,The Way it Should Be I got to hear her heart and got a glimpse of journey as an adoptive and foster parent. In honor of Foster Care Awareness Month, and because I think there is such a need for more stories like Christina and her families story to be told, she shares with us all about their journey of becoming the parents of 6 children, and seeing the Lord make Himself known in their story. Then, she shares how all of that translated into a heart that longed for hope filled stories to be written and how she began her journey as an author writing books that hold space for faith deepening, developing languages of compassion, and giving opportunities to process things in life such as addiction, broken hearts, disease, messy families, but remind us that God can and does still bring beauty from the ashes.  Christina is so kind and so warm and honest, and I just think you’re going to love hearing from her. It’s an amazing gift to believe in the possibility of life change, cultivating hearts of compassion, and watching God at work, and her stories and even our time together today, cultivate such a beautiful space to process all of those things, and more.  I know so many people that are walking through situations that we touched on today, and praying through what God would have them do next. Whether that’s caretaking, adopting, fostering, or even figuring out how to love a family member or friend who has been overtaken by addiction, or overwhelmed by the world they’re living in and you don’t know how to respond to them, The Lord is near. I do not in any way say that lightly. I have been in some of those pits, and I know the pain. This is not how the story ends and there is so much hope and even joy still to be found.  If you are interested in fostering or adopting or learning more about any of it, I’ve included some resources in the show notes for you. As with many scary things, I just want to remind you of something I heard a long time ago that always encourages me when I stare at my empty hands and seemingly impossible situations: the Lord does not call the equipped, He equips the called.

Today I’m honored to share my conversation with the incredible Lindsey Krink. Lindsey is a street chaplain, author,  housing rights advocate and the co-founder of Open Table Nashville, an interfaith outreach non-profit serving the homeless community. Her beautiful and poignant book Praying With Our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets shares her faith journey and personal evolution as she began to see the Gospel come alive under bridges, and the words of the Old Testament prophets make themselves known in tent cities, and in the shivering shoulders of those caring for one another trying to survive on the fringes of society.   In this powerful episode, Lindsey shares with us a little bit about the stigmas and assumptions that are made about people experiencing homelessness, as well as some of the stories she has seen and experienced, and where she has seen God’s heart for people come alive on the fringes with the least of these.    There are so many narratives that surround lives that we don’t fully understand, and Lindsey brings the practical and the prayer provoking of how we can intersect this particular crisis that affects so many. From how we can better treat fellow image bearers with dignity to practical ideas for what to keep in your car, and how to get involved in your own neighborhood, there is so much packed into this episode. Lindsey’s heart is for us all to take the opportunity to examine our call from Christ to love our neighbor, to nurture a fire in our belly and in our bones to light up the world for justice and love in Jesus’ name. As we talk about often on this podcast, there is no limit to what the Lord can do with a heart surrendered to Him. I hope and pray that this episode presents good questions for you to consider, and also presents opportunities for you to engage God’s creation in a more full and compassionate way, however God may lead you to do so in your own season, place and time. You matter. Your neighbor, houseless or homed, matters. Your story matters.  -----   Connecting with Lindsey Krinks (and Open Table Nashville): -Instagram -Her book: Praying With Our Feet: Pursuing Justice and Healing on the Streets -Instagram for Open Table  -Facebook for Open Table -Where to Turn Nashville Help Guide -Open Table Nashville // their amazon wishlist // how to volunteer with them   -”The Contributor” her husband’s newspaper that provides jobs (and dignity) for neighbors experiencing homelessness    Episode Sponsor: Hopefuel Store Link Instagram Facebook Use the code SIMPLY15 for 15% off your purchase!

“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.

Good Friday is a day for lament.  Jeannie Alexander speaks to the sorrow of prison while at the same time speaks words of hope and restoration about the future.  This conversation is tough, but it's one of the best interviews I have ever had and my heart and mind are still wrestling with our conversation. Modern Day Flappers is a podcast dedicated to exploring women's identity beyond traditional scripts.  My hope is for listeners to discover their own story in the lives of the women interviewed and cultivate love for themselves and those around them.    This interview with Jeannie Alexander was recorded in the 4th Story Theatre at West End UMC Wednesday night event called Current. Jeannie Alexander served as the Head Chaplain at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution for three years until September 2014. Prior to that, she was the volunteer chaplain for two years. As chaplain, she facilitated the creation of an unprecedented number of programs for insiders, both in minimum security and on “death row.” Before this, she worked as an attorney, but left the practice of law to become a community organizer and to complete a graduate degree in theology and ethics. As an educator, she’s been a professor of philosophy, ethics, and religion. As a pastor, she’s served and developed interfaith communities in prison based on a model of liberation theology, as well as served as co-pastor to Mercy Community Church, a congregation where 85% of the members were experiencing homelessness.  She is the co-founder of Amos House and Open Table Nashville and was a writer for and sat on the board of The Contributor for several years. Two of her essays are published in And The Criminals With Him, and she features significantly in the documentary Tent City, U.S.A., available on Netflix. She lectures and preaches frequently on the topics of mass incarceration as slavery, mandatory sentencing, and the death penalty. She understands the Gospel as a manifesto for radical liberation now on earth and an invitation to experience God through the living presence of others.To read the Scripture story of The Gerasene Demoniac read Mark 5:1-17 and Luke 8:26-37 More about prison reform can be found at No Exceptions.
