Hi Annette, 

That's a great question! I was at a conference for Christian leaders and heard that podcasts continue to gain in popularity. (Wonderful news for those of us who are getting tired of 'screens', right?)

I posed your question to my Faith Formation Ministries team members and they recommended two sites---one is actually hosted by team member Sam Gutierrez from his Granite Spring Church. It's called Curious Church and you can find out more about it here. The other is called Groundwork, Biblical Foundations for Life and it's one of the excellent resources provided by the folks at ReFrame Media. (If you're not familiar with their site, it's worth a look as they have all kinds of encouraging resources on a variety of topics.) 

If I hear of any more recommendations I'll post them here for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience in this way, Angie.

What a wonderful (and fun!) example of being an inclusive family of God. Thanks for sharing, Laura.

This is such a wonderful idea, Staci. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for sharing the story of what an intergenerational culture looks like at your church, Ron. What a wonderful example of how we can learn from others in different places on their faith journey.

To those readers who are interested in learning more about the kind of intergenerational faith formation Ron is describing--consider attending the Intergenerate Conference next June in Nashville. The Faith Formation Ministries team will be there and we'd love to connect with you!

Thanks for sharing the story of how your church family understands that it is truly a family.  And how wonderful that your little one has also already experienced the encouragement and support of her intergenerational church family!

Thanks for sharing this, Laura. I love your ideas for other ways a congregation might also use this blessing.

Thanks for sharing this, Staci. It's wonderful reminder of what it means to walk (or run!) alongside someone.

Thanks, for this Joshua. I'm going to share it with my family during devotions. I think it will lead to a wonderful discussion!

Thanks for your sensitive and out-of-the-box thinking on this, Lesli. And thanks for encouraging us to do the same.
