Culture of Kinship

By: Kinwell Academy
  • Summary

  • The staff of Kinwell Academy, a last-chance high school in Marion, IN, quickly learned about the need for kinship with their students and each other to experience true growth and wholeness in God. The students, who come from an eclectic mix of urban and rural backgrounds, teach them more about life than they could ever learn in a textbook or classroom. Roger, Amanda, Tyler, and guests hang out to share these unique experiences and their growth along the way.100% of donations go directly towards student experiences.

    Jun 25 2024

    The conversation of volunteering and mentoring has been a frequent one with the Kinwell staff, and this episode we discuss the challenges of mentors connecting with our students. How do you connect with someone who doesn't want to change? What is actually my motivation for wanting to be a mentor to a younger person?

    Jun 4 2024

    Javan Buchanan, at the time a sophomore on the Indiana Wesleyan men's basketball team, joins the podcast to discuss his coming into a pre-established culture of pursuing excellence, above all, Christ. He shares about what makes a great team and how following Christ changes how he approaches basketball.

    It was a blast to speak with Javan and watch him play for his two seasons at IWU. He was a 2023-24 NAIA 1st Team All-American and led the Wildcats to the national tournament. He has since had the opportunity to transfer to Boise State and will continue his basketball career with the Broncos. We wish Javan the best of luck! You can keep up with his career by following him on Twitter or Instagram.

    May 21 2024

    Kristy Burk joins the show to discuss her time thus far volunteering at Kinwell for her undergraduate practicum. We talk about her resilience in the pursuit of relationships and how it's easy to fall into the trap of just wanting students to like you while being a person the students can trust.
