Let's Talk Episode 97 | A Season for Miracles

In 11 short years of marriage, Kaitlyn McKinney and husband Jared have experienced more tragedies, challenges, and heartbreaks than many married couples do in a lifetime together. Two cancer diagnoses, a myriad of lifesaving surgeries, four failed adoptions, and a host of disappointments would have broken many down, but have proven to only strengthen this church-planting couple. In this episode of Let's Talk with Sanctuary, hear the heartfelt worship pour out from Kaitlyn's heart as she recounts the countless blessings she and Jared have discovered when faith in Jesus is what is holding you together.

Kaitlyn McKinney, her husband Jared, their sweet daughter Wrenley, and two doodle pups live in Billings, Montana where they pastor Canvas Church. The couple moved to Montana in 2017 from Seattle Washington where they served as youth pastors for several years. Kaitlynn is passionate about the local church and loves what they get to do. Kaitlyn adds, “I don’t feel complete unless my nails are done, my eyebrows are presentable, I’m wearing something cozy and have coffee in hand.” She’s an avid shopper, which makes living in Montana somewhat of a challenge, so traveling is also a must. Kaitlyn currently serves as the worship director at Canvas Church and often sings her sentences or breaks out in a good song when it seems necessary. The last five years have included her husband battling leukemia twice, as well as four adoption disruptions. But through it all, The Lord has been teaching her to rely on Him more than ever. “I don’t know how to make it through a day without Jesus, and my hope is to teach people that even in your lowest valley God is still good,” Kaitlyn adds. She reminds us the biggest thing she’s learned is not to blame God, but to lean into Him further.
