When tragedy strikes, our first instinct is to choose sides. Some mourn. Some pray. Others cheer.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Jonathan Kindler pauses the trauma series to reflect on the deeper reality: we are fighting the wrong enemy.

In this special episode, Jonathan honors the life and voice of Charlie Kirk and names the divided reactions that surfaced across our culture. The episode continues by pulling the curtain back on what Scripture calls our real enemies—the world, the flesh, and the devil. Through biblical reflection and cultural analysis, Jonathan explains how these forces shape division, fuel rage, and drive us to see one another as the enemy, when the true battle lies elsewhere.

If you’ve felt caught in a cycle of anger, if you’ve been tempted to celebrate when the “other side” suffers, or if you’ve wondered where God is in the chaos, this episode calls you to clarity. To vigilance. To remember your allegiance is not to a camp, but to Christ.

What do you do with the pain God did not prevent? Where do you take the question that lingers, “Where were You?”

In this honest, Scripture-rich episode, Jonathan Kindler sits with the deepest questions that surface when faith and suffering collide. Through a vivid opener and biblical portraits of Hagar in the wilderness, Jeremiah in the pit, and Job in the ashes, he names the tension many believers feel: God did not stop it, yet He has not left. Jonathan clarifies what sovereignty is and is not, why God is not the author of evil, how Jesus enters our suffering, and why faith and grief can live in the same heart.

With clear counsel and five anchors for the season when God feels distant, this conversation gives you permission to ask why, language to pray when words are thin, and a path to steady your soul in the presence of Christ. If you have felt forgotten, this episode invites you to be seen, to be held, and to borrow hope until your own returns.

Why does a harmless moment suddenly feel unsafe?

A smell, a tone, a pause—and your whole body reacts like you’re back in a place you thought you’d left behind.

In this episode of Sound Mind, Jonathan Kindler unpacks what triggers really are: not excuses, but clues. With Scripture, real-life stories, and clear insight, he shows how old wounds can hijack the present—and how the peace of God can meet us in the flare.

If you’ve ever asked, “What’s wrong with me?” when nothing was actually wrong, this conversation will help you trade panic for presence, shame for curiosity, and fear for truth.

Why do small moments feel so big? Why can a single comment carry the weight of years?

In this honest, Scripture-rich episode, Jonathan Kindler names trauma as more than an event. It is what lingers. This is the first episode in a multi-part series on trauma, laying the foundation for how we will talk about wounds, triggers, and renewal in the weeks ahead.

Through an immersive opener, biblical portraits of Tamar, Mephibosheth, and Naomi, and clear, accessible brain science, he explains why the body remembers when the mind does not, how distorted beliefs take root, and what renewal looks like for a soul that has lived in protection mode.

From the grocery bag metaphor to five steady anchors for understanding trauma, this conversation invites you to set down what you were never meant to carry, to trade shame for clarity, and to meet Christ in the very places that ache. You may not be able to change what happened, but peace, healing, and a sound mind are still on the table.

What do you do when you’re the one who caused the pain?

In this raw and redemptive episode, Jonathan Kindler confronts the weight of regret—not from the side of the wounded, but from the one who did the wounding. With quiet honesty and biblical clarity, he explores the path of repentance: what it means to truly own your damage, seek forgiveness without control, and receive grace when you no longer feel worthy of it.

Through the stories of Peter, David, and Paul, Jonathan shows how failure doesn’t disqualify—it can deepen. This episode offers five practical anchors for walking in repentance and learning to confess without excuses, pursue healing without entitlement, and let God rewrite the story shame tried to seal shut.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and asked, “Can I be redeemed?”—this episode was made for you. There’s grace for the guilty. And it doesn’t just forgive… it restores.

What if the relationship never goes back to what it was? Can reconciliation still happen—even if restoration doesn’t?

In this tender and truth-filled episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the layered path of reconciliation: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s one of the most courageous acts of grace we’ll ever walk. Through storytelling, biblical portraits, and personal reflection, Jonathan unpacks the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation—and why one is possible without the other.

From the tearful reunion of Jacob and Esau, to Paul standing in the gap for Onesimus, to Jesus restoring Peter over breakfast, this episode invites listeners to pull over, defrost what’s been frozen, and ask the honest question: What’s still unfinished in me?

Whether you’re wondering if it’s safe to open the door again, or simply aching for peace that no one else can give you—this conversation offers five biblical anchors to guide you forward. Reconciliation may not always be possible. But peace? That’s still on the table.

What if forgiveness didn’t start with a conversation—but with quiet surrender no one else sees?

In this immersive and deeply personal episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the quiet, often misunderstood practice of forbearance—the Spirit-led choice to forgive without confrontation, resolution, or even acknowledgment. Through layered storytelling, biblical insight, and sound-rich scenes—from the unsent text to the stubborn scrape under a Band-Aid—we enter the tension of letting go when the other person may never “get it.”

Drawing from the restraint of Jesus before Pilate, the wisdom of Abigail, and the mercy of Joseph, Jonathan reveals how forbearance isn’t weakness—it’s courageous trust in God's timing, God’s justice, and God’s healing. He walks us through five practical anchors to help you forgive without them—not by pretending it didn’t hurt, but by entrusting the pain to the One who sees it all.

If you’ve ever held back words that felt justified, stayed silent out of faith not fear, or wondered how to release something when reconciliation feels impossible—this conversation is for you.

What happens when unforgiveness becomes more than a moment—when it becomes the story we live in?

In this immersive and unflinchingly honest episode, Jonathan Kindler explores how unforgiveness seeps into our soul, slowly scripting how we see others… and ourselves. Through layered storytelling, biblical reflection, and sound-rich scenes—from the overgrown garden of bitterness to the quiet ache of unresolved pain—this episode reveals the deceptive nature of holding on and the quiet cost of never letting go.

Drawing from the lives of Jonah, the older brother, and Absalom, Jonathan uncovers how unforgiveness distorts identity, damages relationships, and quietly reshapes our obedience. He walks us through five practical anchors that lead toward true release—not performance forgiveness, but actual freedom rooted in God’s justice, not our own.

If you’ve ever clung to a wound, justified your resentment, or felt stuck in a story you never wanted to tell—this conversation is for you.
