The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseGod Brings Believers with Him in Eternity with David DeanDo you ever think about where your soul goes when you die? The Bible is unmistakably clear that we have two options: eternal life with Christ or eternal separation from Him (see Matthew 25:46). If you took your last breath on this side today, where would you be? It’s the most important question you will ever answer.2021-01-2527 min

Kalos Conversations51: How the Investment in Women is Bearing Fruit During the Coronavirus PandemicThe landscape across the globe has changed dramatically in the last two weeks. Churches are creatively embracing how to love and disciple their people, while social distancing is ordered and the threat of sickness present. Seven Mile Road has had to pivot and shift church. In that, there have been evidences of how our work in discipling the women through the Kalos track has readied them for this moment. Matt and Patti take some time to address the upcoming release of what What Church Can Be in this unique time and...2020-03-2520 min

Kalos Conversations50: Patti and Matt Talk About The Release Of 'What Church Can Be'One of the questions we often get is, "How can we establish the kind of culture at our church where something like Kalos Track or Kalos Team can actually happen?" Well, we wrote a book on that! In this episode, Patti and Matt talk about the soon-to-be-released "What Church Can Be" book which walks the reader through both the theological vision and boots-to-the-ground practice that has formed the cultural "soil" at Seven Mile Road in which our Kalos work has thrived.2020-03-0925 min

Kalos Conversations49: Patti Serves in Richmond + Touching Base After a Season of RestIn this episode, we hear about Patti's weekend serving the women of Remnant Church in Richmond, VA.

Kalos ConversationsConference: Talk #1 "Women As Forces For Gospel Advance"Jesus intends for the women in our churches to become holy and feminine forces for gospel advance. In this talk, Patti Rosell cast a big, beautiful, and Biblical vision of this for us.2019-06-0120 min

Kalos ConversationsConference: Talk #2 "Believe. Adorn. Advance."Jesus' women have always advanced the gospel by saying "yes!" to the glories of their God-assigned femininity. In this talk, Matthew Kruse surveyed the Scriptures to show how partnership in ministry is driven by a woman wholeheartedly embracing (not denying or muting) her unique callings.2019-05-3123 min

Kalos ConversationsConference: Talk #3 "Equal and Distinct"One way of confessing Christ is by delighting in and living out God's creative intentions for us as men and women. In love and wisdom, God created our race male and female, equal yet distinct. In this talk, Matthew Kruse unpacked some of the glory of that reality.2019-05-3123 min

Kalos ConversationsConference: Talk #4 "Brothers and Sisters"Jesus' people have always labored side-by-side as men and women for gospel advance in their homes and churches. In this talk, Patti Rosell spoke about how seeing the church as a missional family engenders partnership in gospel work.2019-05-3018 min

Kalos ConversationsConference: Q & A Session #1We built in some unrushed time for conference attendees to ask anything that they wanted. This was the first hour of question and answer, which covered topics from loving single women to how to read those passages that address women (or men) only to what real life hospitality looks like.2019-05-3053 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseRestoration Theology | Angelology: The Study of AngelsThis week, we focus on the Bible's exposed schemes of the fallen angel Satan. He baits us with temptation (see Matthew 4:3). He hooks us in the deceit of dissatisfied desires (see 2 Corinthians 11:14). He lifts the line from the water with the accusation of evil before God and others (see Revelation 12:10). He sinks us in destruction (see 1 Peter 5:8; John 10:10). Solomon taught that Satan's prey is our: hearts, mouths, eyes, and feet (see Proverbs 4:23-27).2019-05-2327 min

Kalos Conversations48: The Fun Kalos Conference "Live" EpisodeOn the Friday night of our "Women As Forces For Gospel Advance" training event, we experimented with a live podcast! It was fun in that "never tried this before let's see what it's like" kind of fun way! We got to hear from a few of our listeners who were able to make it to Boston for the weekend and set the stage for the full day training event that followed the next day. Good times!2019-05-1622 min

Kalos Conversations47: The Big "Women As Forces For Gospel Advance" Conference RecapIn this episode, Patti and Matt give glory to God by recounting many of the highlights of our time together at the first-ever Kalos Conversations conference. If they sound giddy, it's because the day was extraordinary --- beyond any of our expectations.2019-05-0930 min

Kalos Conversations46: Chelsea and Laurel Share Their StoriesIn this episode, we hear the stories from two women who have gone through the Kalos Track. Andea, who shared on an earlier episode with her husband, Clint, is co-leading a Kalos Track at their church, Seven Mile Road Waltham. Chelsea serves on the Kalos Team at Seven Mile Road Melrose. Both women share their unique experiences about spending a year going through the Kalos Track. This wraps up season 4, Kalos Stories. 2019-05-0212 min

Kalos Conversations45: That Awesome Conversation With Matt's MomIn this episode, Patti talks with Margaret Kruse, aka Matt's mom, aka one the most holy and feminine forces for gospel advance our church has ever seen, about the impact that valuing young women in the church and modeling for them how an embrace of their feminine callings can drive forward the mission of God.2019-04-2728 min

Kalos Conversations44: A Sit Down With Seven Mile Road PastorsIn this episode, we hear from some pastors who serve at Seven Mile Road Church. Justin is the Executive Pastor for all Seven Mile Road churches as well as pastor/elder for Seven Mile Malden. Tim serves as a pastor/elder for Seven Mile Melrose. Patti, Justin, and Tim talk Kalos culture within the church from a pastoral perspective. Many questions we are asked revolve around pastoral presence. How exactly does that work? Not only do we have a pastor lead the women through the Kalos Track, but we also have the Kalos Team work directly...2019-04-1840 min

Kalos Conversations43: Morans on Establishing a Kalos TrackIn this episode, we hear another Kalos Story. Patti sits down with Matt and Laurel Moran to talk about their experience with Kalos. The Morans were instrumental in the early days of developing the Kalos curriculum at Seven Mile Road Melrose. Matt was on staff as pastor/elder and Laurel was among the first group of women to go through a year together with the Kalos content. Together, they are now leading Kalos Track at their church outside of Buffalo, NY. In their conversation with Patti they share some realities of leading together, as a married...2019-04-1138 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch Kruse6 Examples of Inside Out Righteousness (Part 1), Be Anger and Adultery FreeDid your parents ever say, “Do as I say, not as I do?” Our parents knew what was right and yet realized that they would fall short. Aware that we would not only listen to their words, but also watch their behavior, they couched their inevitable disparity in word and deed with “Do as I say, not as I do.” In Christ, we have a Lord and Savior who says “Do as I say, and as I do.” His teachings are perfectly aligned with His heart and life. Consequently, He calls the fully surrendered to be obedient from the inside out...2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseBe HumbleWhere do you go to satisfy your desires? Jesus gave the secret to satisfaction in the greatest speech ever given when he addressed an estimated 20,000 followers along the mountainside outside Capernaum. We call it the Sermon on the Mount recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Chapters 5-7) where Jesus laid down the gauntlet for full surrender of one’s heart to God. Outlining the be-do-go of full surrender, in essence, Jesus communicated, “Who you are designed to be determines what you are designed to do which determines where you are designed to go” because God designed life to flow from t...2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseBe Pure In Heart, Peaceful, and EnduringWhat do you add to your devotion to God to satisfy your desires? The equation usually looks like this: (God + ________ = satisfaction). What do you place in your blank? It might be money, sex outside of God’s design, porn, risk, a rush, a smoke, a toke, a drink, or a line. It might seem as innocent as attention, affection, acceptance, approval, bigness, an attractive spouse, behaving children, or even religion. In any case, the result is a mixed devotion of the heart. The Bible alludes to these mixed devotions as impurities, or idols, because they compete with our full de...2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseDo Discover Contentment In ChristWho is more content, the person with a million dollars or the person with ten children? You probably guessed the person with ten children, and you are correct. He is more content because he doesn’t want any more. That’s the definition of contentment: being in a state or a situation where you are not wanting anything more or anything different. It literally means “held together.” This is the second of four desires addressed by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. He warned His disciples not to seek contentment from money (Matthew 6:22-23).2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseGo Through the Narrow GateWe approach life with God through one of two gates, traveling one of two roads, leading to one of two destinations. One is religious, traveling from the outside in. The other is relational, traveling from the inside out. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus described the two gates, the two roads, and the two destinations (Matthew 7:13-14).2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseGo With DiscretionHave you ever entrusted yourself to a mentor who wanted you to be more oriented toward man-made rules than relationships? Rather than base his advice on the teachings of Christ and the counsel of the Bible, he developed his own personal potpourri of teachings. Describing two trees, Jesus addressed this dichotomy in the Sermon on the Mount when He taught His disciples how to go to their teachers and leaders (Matthew 7:15-23).2019-04-0427 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseGo WiselyOn what foundation do you make every choice, capture every thought, process every feeling, or offer every prayer? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus painted the picture of a foundation upon which His disciples could build their hearts and lives. Jesus summarized it as building one’s house on the rock (Matthew 7:24-29). He closed the greatest speech ever given with a comparison of two builders—one wise, one foolish; two foundations—one solid, one shifting; and two fates—one eternal, one temporary.2019-04-0427 min

Kalos Conversations42: Patronellas On Leading Kalos TogetherIn this episode, Patti sits down with Clint and Andea Patronella to hear their Kalos Story. The Patronellas are native Texans turned Bostonian when they planted Seven Mile Road Waltham. They share about their vision for leading Kalos early in their church plant and their commitment for equipping the women they are given towards gospel partnership. We also hear about Andea's own experience going through the track at Seven Mile Road Melrose. 2019-04-0435 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseService that Leads to SurrenderDo you love good service? Maybe you enjoy being served at your favorite restaurant or resort, but have you ever thought about why? The answer will compel you to serve others. Jesus described service that leads to surrender (see Matthew 5:13-16) through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.2019-03-2827 min

Kalos Conversations41: A Conference PreviewIn this episode, Patti and Matt give us a big picture preview of what we can expect at our "Women As Forces For Gospel Advance" conference in May. This includes information about Friday night's pre-conference and a special snapshot of the content on Saturday. Patti also tells us what we can look forward to in Season 4. You can expect to hear a variety of voices who tell their own Kalos story, including other pastors, teams who are leading Kalos, and different women in the life of our church. 2019-03-2822 min

Kalos Conversations40: Loving & Gospeling When Offense Is TakenIn this episode, we work another case study.You are in a gospel community where several of the men and women are fans of craft beer. Conversation naturally flows in the direction of the intricacies of selecting, brewing, consuming, enjoying different kinds of alcohol. At the end of one specific night together, one of the member’s most recent batch of craft beer is consumed by a few people. Over the course of the next few weeks, it becomes apparent that one couple has removed themselves from all communication/participation with the community. You find out it is...2019-02-1429 min

Kalos Conversations39: Loving & Gospeling Through Different PerspectivesIn this episode, we work another case study.There is an episode between two children in the life of the church. This leads to a conflict between the moms about what happened, who is at fault, how the situation was handled, what needs to happen now, etc. The moms are having a very hard maintaining relational unity in the wake of this.- How would you help to resolve this conflict?2019-02-0721 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the Two SonsDo you respond to God with good intentions and, yet, do not do what He asks? Do you say, "Yes," then do "No." The Jewish leaders had questioned Jesus' authority (see Matthew 21:23-37). It was most likely Tuesday of Holy Week under one of the Temple porches. Jesus described two sons, each defined by what he says and does.2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the Lost SheepHave you ever lost something of value? What did you do? What do you think God does when something of value is lost? In the parable about a shepherd's lost sheep, Jesus described God's passion for the lost (see Matthew 18:12-14).2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the NetHave you ever asked yourself the question, "What does God fish for?" The answer might affect what you wake up searching for each day. In a parable about God's net, Jesus addressed this question (see Matthew 13:47-50).2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the SowerCan you recall an experience that has hardened your heart toward God? The event seemed to put an obstacle in your inner being that continually hinders the movement of God in a particular area of your life. Jesus addressed this scenario when He shared the story known as The Parable of the Sower (see Matthew 13:1-23; cf. Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:4-14).2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the Ten VirginsIf Christ returned today, would you be prepared? Whether in your physical death or in Jesus' second coming, would you be ready to meet Him? In a world where His arrival is delayed, we have a tendency to be unprepared for His imminent return. Jesus addressed this lack of preparation as foolishness in The Parable of the Ten Virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13).2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the WeedsDo you ever wonder why God allows evil to exist? Do you find yourself telling God that your life would work out better if He would just remove the evil barriers in your way? Whether it is a competitor, a criminal, a nemesis, a cheating spouse, or an enemy who was a former friend, we often find ourselves frustrated over the evil obstacles resident in our lives. In His Parable of the Weeds, Jesus gave insight to this dilemma (see Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43).2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the Wicked TenantsHow is God advancing His kingdom in you and through you? As believers we have a tendency to selfishly take the kingdom of God for granted while we remain in control of our own lives. The result is that His will is not advanced in or through us. We avoid heart transformation and the shaping of Christ in others, which begs the question, "Are we really in Christ?" In the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, Jesus painted a portrait of God's heart regarding the advancement of His kingdom, or the lack of it, in and through His people (see...2019-01-3127 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseParable of the Workers in the VineyardHave you ever asked someone, "What's in it for me?" If we answer honestly, we might begin to realize that we ask God the same question. That's what Peter asked Jesus when they encountered the rich, young, ruler who was unwilling to sell his possessions and be generous to the poor (see Matthew 19:16-22). Jesus answered with the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (see Matthew 20:1-16).2019-01-3127 min

Kalos Conversations38: Loving & Gospeling A Hurt Member Of The Church Who Suddenly Stops AttendingIn this episode, we work another case study.Someone who has been at the church for 5 years suddenly stops attending. You find out through the grapevine that their reasons are two-fold: 1, they were hurt that no one but a pastor from the church came to a recent family funeral. 2, they’ve been disillusioned with the trajectory of the church ministry for the last year and just want to go to another church. You have personally poured countless hours into their lives and the lives of their children. They did not say thank you. They did not address th...2019-01-3127 min

Kalos Conversations37: Loving & Gospeling A Stuck-In-The-Rut Mom Of ThreeIn this episode, we work another case study.Linda is a Christian mom of 3 elementary school-aged children. She has fallen into a rut where she is keeping up with the daily demands of life (not an easy task!) but not thriving in her walk with Christ or her relationship with her husband. She is feeling bad about growing older and coming to grips with her life being what it is. She is spending very little time in Word or prayer and has basically detached (conversationally, affectionately, sexually) from her husband for several months. When you do have...2019-01-2425 min

Kalos Conversations36: Loving & Gospeling A Myopic Twenty-SomethingIn this episode, we talk through the following case study:Karen is 25 years old, engaged, getting her Masters, and involved in a gospel community. During a time of conversation with the group, she expresses frustration over several things: her fiancé and his apathetic demeanor, her fear about a lack of progress on her studies, and her guilt over living a life that is ‘self-centered right now.’ One of the other women in the group begins to encourage her with statements like, “It’s going to be ok. You’re doing the best that you can. Just stay at it and g...2018-12-2026 min

Kalos Conversations35: Loving & Gospeling A Woman In Sexual SinIn this episode, we talk through the following case study:Cami is in her late 30s and has recently jumped into the life of Seven Mile Road. She has zero Christian background but is attending on Sundays, is in a gospel community, and has asked the elders to be baptized. She is recently divorced. Her background includes serial sexual sin before marriage and since her divorce. She’s confesses to you that she is having casual sex with a guy that she is loosely dating because she likes sex and doesn’t want to be alone.H...2018-12-0628 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseLove, Learn, Live the Word (Colossians 3:13) Part 1Have you had the opportunity to forgive someone who has wronged you? Jesus likened withholding forgiveness to a prison (see Matthew 18:21-25). The irony is that the person who will not forgive is the one locked inside the four walls. In order to forgive someone who has wounded us, we must first let go of four prison walls that incarcerate us in the prison of un-forgiveness.2018-11-2927 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseLove, Learn, Live the Word (Matthew 7:12)Everyone wants to be heard, forgiven, and understood, but the irony is that few want to listen, forgive, love the unlovely, or take time to understand. Recognizing the dilemma of our sinful nature, Jesus summarized His Sermon on the Mount with the main theme in Matthew 7:12.2018-11-2927 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseLove, Learn, Live, the Word (Matthew 11:28)Do you ever feel weary from sin? Has too much license increased your desire for more and more of your fix of choice in order to feel new again? Are you burned out with trying to keep religious rules, regulations, and stipulations, feeling as though you can never measure up to perfection? Two thousand years ago, Jesus offered the Master Key that unlocks the gate to authentic restoration in Christ found in Matthew 11:28.2018-11-2927 min

Kalos Conversations34: Loving & Gospeling Brand-New-To-Gospel WomanIn this episode, we talk through the following case study:Jane is brand new to church and has connected with your gospel community. She’s a good mom, hard worker, and generally avoids the big sins in life. She was raised in a Roman Catholic home that was devoutly religious. She is constantly asking questions like “So what are the rules here?” and “Do you think I am doing everything that I am supposed to?” When you ask her what she likes about the church she says, “I love the people and the community.

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseConnections: Go Connectedly (Matthew 7:1-12)In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus the Master Communicator elaborated on the heart and mannerisms of an effective carrier of His gospel message. He conveyed that we should not go to the world either condemningly or carelessly; rather, we should go connectedly with the Spirit of God in total humility with a heart of clay (see Matthew 7:1-12). Consequently, every encounter with another person is a three-way call. When we are connected with God and connected with others, then they are connected with God. Whereas pride brings static to the line, humility offers a clear connections.2018-11-0227 min

The Restoration Road with Mitch KruseConnections: Light (Matthew 18:21-35)Do you struggle with how to connect others with Christ?

Yet strangely, as John Stott put it, “there has always been a strong tendency for Christians to withdraw into a kind of closed, evangelical, monastic community.” So in this episode, we talk about what it looks...2018-07-1930 min
