The GoodKind Podcast

Welcome to Wednesday's edition of our Family Reflections for Holy Week! Chris and Lottie are ready to walk through the next story from the last week of Jesus' life and reflect together.

Gather around with your family, and let's get started.

Welcome back! We hope you're enjoying our daily podcasts leading up to Easter, and we hope that you'll consider sharing them with a friend! It's not to late to join in. And if you get behind a day or two, that's ok! Just catch up or skip ahead. Either way, we're so glad you're joining us.

Today, Chris and Lottie are back, and ready to share another surprising story from Jesus' life during Holy Week. Grab your fidgets and gather everyone together. It's time to get started.

Welcome back to our Family Reflections for Holy Week! It's Holy Monday, and time for another Bible Story and reflection time with GoodKind author, Chris, and his daughter, Lottie.

Grab the family and settle as we retrace Jesus' steps during Holy Week.

Welcome to our Family Reflections for Holy Week! Each day from Palm Sunday to Easter, our author, Chris, and his daughter, Lottie, will be leading us through a short time of Bible stories and prayer, following the pattern of our Easter Blocks.

As we retrace Jesus' steps together, we'll take a moment to ponder him, talk about what it means, and respond in prayer.

It's easy, meaningful, and perfect for the whole family to join in! Pull up a chair, grab a fidget if you need, and let's get started!

The team is gathering and getting excited about one of our favorite months—April! There's something about the sunshine from the longer days and the promise of warmer weather (even in spite of the pollen) that's filling us with hope.

Join us, and find some new ways to take this month from good to great! We're finding small ways to shift to the spiritual, and we promise, that with just a little bit of intentionality, you'll have a month full of meaningful moments.

Our resident girl dad, Clayton, is chatting with a couple boy moms, Kaitlin and Bethany, about all things boys and girls, the myths the world is teaching them, and gospel truth that speaks to us all as boys, girls, men, and women. 

Kaitlin Chappell Rogers is a writer, speaker, and host of The Comeback Couch Podcast. And she’s joined by close friend, writer, and arts enthusiast, Bethany Harrison.

It's time to talk about it. Probably the biggest spiritual practice, the most "basic", and yet one that's still so difficult... Bible Reading.

We get it. It's not that you don't want to read the Bible. It's just sometimes hard to do...or at least feel like you're doing it right.

When it comes to reading the Bible, we all have expectations we need to let go of and experiences to learn from. Clayton, Chris, and Amy are laying theirs out on the podcast today and not holding anything back.

We're keeping it real, keeping it honest, and encouraging one another to try something new, and try, try again. We hope it encourages you, too.

What great series is complete without a prequel?

Last fall, we shard our mini-series, Making Spiritual Practices Stick, on the podcast, and now, it's time to head back to the beginning for how it all began.

Join Clayton, Chris, and Brian today to discover why we're so passionate about spiritual practices, and why we think that with just a bit of intentionality—and a whole lot of practice—you can make them stick.

It's the very first episode of our new series, the Top 5! GoodKind Co-founder and author, Chris Pappalardo, is sitting down with friends Chris Ammen from Kaleidoscope and Ryan Coatney from Raising Cross Formed Kids. They're sharing all of their favorite kids discipleship resources, for parents and pastors alike, and having a lot of fun doing it.

Join the conversation, and find a new resource that'll have you singing praises.
