The GoodKind Podcast

You know we're all about helping families engage with God and one another throughout the year, and this week, we're chatting with Megan from His Kids Company on a new way to do just that!

Megan and her family have been taking unplugged vacations for a few years now, and they've found it's a great way to make family time even more meaningful. They're leaving the phones at home, literally unplugging things, and sharing how you can do it too!

Listen in, escape the screens, check out His Kids Company, and make your vacation meaningful this summer!

P.S. We made a free pdf of 3 short prayers we're calling the Meaningful Moment Challenge that you can download and take with you on your next vacation. It's an easy way to take ordinary moments during a vacation and engage with God. Download it now and take us with your on your next vacation!

Welcome back to our mini series on Making Spiritual Practices Stick. This week, we're talking about one of the key aspects that's revolutionized how we practice our faith, and one of the core elements of every GoodKind product—How to make your faith tangible.

Join Clayton, Chris, and Amy, as they share their own experiences and discuss why it all matters.

It may still feel like summer, but while you're enjoying those last pool days, we're here with an easy way to make sure your family has a stress-free Christmas.

In this episode, Chris is picking back up with friend and former small group member, Ryan Davis. Chris and Ryan still attend the same church, but ran into each other at a coffee shop recently after not seeing either other for awhile. They reconnected over GoodKind products and practicing their faith with their families. They've been mutually encouraged by one another's spiritual practices in the home, and they're sitting down to share that story and encourage all of us.

We hope you enjoy, and we hope you'll consider checking out Advent Blocks, Sticky Prayers, or any other GoodKind products!
