Wonder with the Word is a weekly podcast that invites children (and the childlike!) to explore the gospels through the power of imagination and curiosity. Each episode features a story about Jesus from the Catholic lectionary, bringing Scripture to life in a way that's engaging and accessible for young listeners. Through gentle 'I wonder' questions and guided imagination, kids are empowered to connect with the stories on a personal level.
