Thinking About It (Grandview Church)
Grandview Church Kitchener
Our podcast exists to help Christians think deeply and live faithfully for Jesus Christ. In 2026, we are starting a new season going over the basics of living like a Christian, from Bible reading to managing relationships. How can Christians live in the world, but not of the world? We’ll be thinking about it together in 2026. Hosted by Andrew Noble (PhD Student and Adjunct Professor), Tim Mudde (Associate Pastor of Youth & Discipleship), Jon Cleland (Associate Pastor of Young Adults and Adjunct Professor), and Jeremy McQuoid (Lead Pastor). We were formally called the "Thinking About The Faith" Podcast for season four.
