Progressive Christianity: What does it mean to be saved? With Ron Toft

In this week’s message, Ron continues Kindred’s series on Progressive Christianity with an honest exploration of salvation, sin, and what it means that God is “with us.” Moving beyond the traditional versus progressive divide, he invites listeners to hold multiple perspectives—seeing Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as expressions of divine love and oneness rather than simple transaction or ideology.

Through humor, humility, and an unforgettable story of a father jumping into the sea after his daughter, Ron reframes the cross as God’s ultimate act of presence: not just saving us, but joining us in our fear and suffering so we are never alone.
