Welcome back to Day 3 of our Daily Reflections for Holy Week! Today, on Holy Tuesday, slow down and savor this passage of Scripture with us.

"In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, 'May no fruit ever come from you again!' And the fig tree withered at once.

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, 'How did the fig tree wither at once?' And Jesus answered them, 'Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, "Be taken up and thrown into the sea," it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.'"

- Matthew 21:18–22

Welcome back to Day 2 of our Daily Reflections for Holy Week! Today, on Holy Monday, slow down and savor this passage of Scripture with us.

"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them."

- Matthew 21:12–14

Welcome to this special series of The GoodKind Podcast. We’re breaking our regular rhythm this week to bring you 10-minute daily reflections for each day of Holy Week, following the pattern of our Easter Blocks. We hope it helps you slow down and savor Christ this week. And we mean it—stop what you're doing, settle in, take a breath, and slowly consider Scripture with us.

As we guide you through the reading, reflection, and prayer, feel free to pause the episode at any time, allowing yourself to respond at your own pace.

Maybe April will bring showers, and maybe May will bring flowers. But one way another, to us, April means it's solidly Spring. We're excited about all that April has to offer—the weather, the random holidays, and the way the season prompts us to engage with God and one another. 

Plus, we even took the liberty of compiling a list of free stuff you can get this month, because who doesn't love that?!

Welcome to the Deep Dive. In these episodes, members of our team will be diving a bit deeper into topics you might hear us mention in our Habits and Holidays episodes. 

Up first, we're talking Holy Week! Join Chris Pappalardo and Amy Kavanaugh as they discuss the Lent, Easter traditions, and how you can make Holy Week meaningful. 

BIG NEWS! Starting with this very episode, we'll be releasing Habits and Holidays episodes monthly! Honestly, we have too much fun recording these, and either the episodes were going to get a lot longer, of we were going to have to meet more often. We're so excited to become a regular rhythm in your life as you listen along in the car, on a walk, at home, or in the office. 

So, with that said, enjoy our conversation re: March! If February is categorically the worst month of the year, March might just be the opposite. We're breaking down all things spring and hope, and we can't wait for you to listen in. 

It's not about shamrocks and rainbows and finding pots of gold. It's about a man whose life was transformed by the gospel in such an incredible way that it impacted a nation, and the world today. Join our team members, Chris Pappalardo and Brian Turney for a conversation about the origins and historical significance of St. Patrick's day. (Go ahead and grab your soda bread, too! It's delicious!) 

We’re sitting down with author of The Common Rule and Habits of the Household, Justin Whitmel Earley. Out of crisis, Justin aligned his calling with his habits, and is helping others understand how to do the same. 

Justin’s expertise informs a lot of what we do here at GoodKind, especially in the realm of creating habits that will help you engage with God and one another. This one’s a real treat, so come on over at sit at Justin’s feet with us!

We're winding down from the fun (and chaos) of Christmas, and we're ready to welcome in the new year! On this Habits and Holidays episode, Clayton, Brian, Lindsey, and Chris are talking the good and bad of new year's resolutions, parties, and crowded gyms (It's like a block party in there!) 

This might be our favorite episode yet - we're taking all the momentum of the new year rolling around and using it as an encouragement to engage with God and one another. And, of course, the upcoming random holidays, too. 

It's the most festive episode of the year! We're decking the halls, donning sweaters, and dashing through the snow (well, the one of us in Denver, anyway.) Join us on this episode as we're talking All About Advent! 

Chances are, you found us through Advent Blocks, and while we're talking about our favorite blocks how they help us anticipate Jesus at Christmas, we're not stopping there! We're talking favorite Christmas traditions, movies, and ways to engage with God and one another. 

Cuddle up with some cocoa and join the conversation with us!
