Summary
Darin Kinder is a special agent with the United States Secret Service. He has spent his career traveling the world protecting presidents and leaders. On September 11, 2001, he was in the heart of New York City when the World Trade Centers were attacked. His heroic actions earned him the Secret Service Medal of Valor.
As we approach the nineteenth anniversary of this somber day, Darin joins us on Pardon the Mess to share his reflections from September 11, 2001. He also shares where the Lord is continuing work in his life.
Darin and his wife, Heather, are in the midst of raising four boys and are passionate about teaching them to live each day to its fullest for Christ. Darin challenges us to raise kids with a fierce faith—one that matches the intensity of our culture. He offers four ways to raise our children with a fierce faith and adds a few great sports analogies along the way.
I’m frequently asked if I have a “favorite” podcast interview. And I honestly can’t point to just one. However, if I had to name one, I would choose my first podcast with Darin Kinder on Pardon the Mess. When I interviewed him last year, his words impacted how I live my daily life.
Listen to Darin’s great word for us today on raising kids with a fierce faith. And then go back and listen to our first interview with Darin. His message pertains to living our lives with “dirty suits.” I promise it will make you rethink how you're spending your days and inspire you to dig into the hard places to which the Lord has called you.
I’m thrilled to have Darin Kinder back with us today on Pardon the Mess. I know you will be too!

| 0:12.8 | This is Cynthia Yanov, and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.1 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk the parenting |
| 0:26.2 | road alone. Hey guys, is Cynthia welcome to Pardon the Mess. I'm so glad that you are with us today. |
| 0:39.7 | We have Darren Kinder on the show, |
| 0:45.5 | and we have interviewed Darren Kinder before. If you've ever heard me talk about this, people ask me all the time, do you have a favorite interview? And I'd never say I have a favorite one of all the ones |
| 0:49.0 | we've done, because I like so many of our interviews for so many different reasons. But I do say |
| 0:53.3 | that there's one interview |
| 0:54.2 | that's profoundly impacted me in terms of how I live life. And it was our interview a couple |
| 0:59.0 | years ago with Darren Kinder. And so I'm going to link it in podcast notes. After this one, |
| 1:02.8 | you're going to want to go back and listen. But Darren is a Secret Service agent currently, |
| 1:07.3 | and he also was doing that on 9-11.01. He was in New York City and he was in and out of the trade centers on that day. |
| 1:14.8 | He earned a Secret Service Medal of Valor for his heroism that day and helping people that |
| 1:19.6 | were going through the tragedy of 9-11 and he doesn't like any type of accolades nor |
| 1:24.6 | does he like to talk about himself. |
| 1:26.4 | But wow, does he have an amazing |
| 1:28.2 | story? And did he do amazing things on that day? And so here we are 19 years later. And Darren's going |
| 1:34.2 | to talk to us about some of his reflections on that day. But then he also is going to chat with us |
| 1:38.7 | about the importance of teaching our kids to have a fierce faith. Darren and his beautiful wife, |
| 1:43.2 | Heather, are raising four boys. |
| 1:45.6 | And so take in this interview. |
