We're so excited to announce that our GoodKind Co-founders, Chris Pappalardo and Clayton Greene, are now Co-AUTHORS!

Their book, Building Spiritual Habits in the Home, will officially release in January 2025, but we are so excited to give you a sneak peek of what to expect.

And we're starting where it all begins—with God, and some ways that who He is impacts our spiritual practices.

Join Amy, our Operations Director, and Chris and Clayton for a conversation that will leave you not just excited for the book, but encouraged as you approach spiritual habits in your home!

The whole team's here! We're circling up and sharing our favorite Christmas memories from when we were kids!

As we reflect back on those meaningful moments, we're mining for the things that made those moments so memorable. Was it the people? The consistency? The novelty? Or just the fun and whimsy of it all?

Join us, and as you reflect back on your own memories, consider how, with just a bit of effort and attention, you can help be a memory-maker for the special people in your life.

It might sounds like a complicated, monk-ish Latin practice. But this one is much easier than you think! And we think it might just be the alms to the ailments of anyone who is busy, hurried, and wanting to engage with God.

Kids can do it. Adults can do it. And here's the best part: There really are no rules about how or when you do it!

Join Clayton, Chris, and Amy for a fun, grace-filled conversation about fussing with the practice of Examen. And give it a try! With these suggestions, we know you'll walk away with an easy way to slow down and reflect on all that God has done.

Start by simply asking: What was good? What was hard? What's next?

It's all about slowing down enough to notice the handprint of God on our lives.

This week, GoodKind Co-founder, Chris Pappalardo, is sharing his conversation with Robbie Sondag, about all sorts of everyday objects that you might start seeing in a new light!

Robbie and his daughter host weekly YouTube videos, showcasing really cool object lessons that engage kids with biblical truth in a fun, engaging way.

Top 5 Everyday Objects with Biblical Meaning

1. Toothpaste

2. Candy

3. Water

4. Dirt

5. Watermelon

Press play to learn why!

Find Robbie online at familymomentsfun.com and on his YouTube channel.

Play might be the trickiest spiritual habit for adults to grow in—in part, no doubt, because we probably don't often even think of it as a spiritual practice. But we're making the case that it is an opportunity to engage more with God and one another, as long as you are paying attention.

Join Chris, Clayton, and Amy on the podcast and learn how, even if it wasn't on the top of your mind at first, play, as a spiritual habit, is easier (and way more fun!) than you think!
