Enkindle: Family Scripture Reflections

I want to help my kids get more from the gospel each Sunday, and what a delight to find Enkindle has the same goal!

This podcast is my family’s “go-to” for car rides. It manages to capture the attention of all three of my young boys (ages 6-13), and often gives us excellent springboards for car conversation. As a mom, I feel grateful because I KNOW the podcast content is wholesome and safe for little ears; which makes for great openness to the content. My eldest son (13) seems to especially listen attentively to the stories told by the podcast hosts, and he appreciates the down to earth connections made to the Scriptures. He’ll often remark “Wow! I never thought about it like that.” We can immediately engage in conversation to elaborate! Thanks to Ablaze Family Ministry for making this available to our family.

This podcast has quickly become a favorite in our family. We love listening together before the kids go to sleep as a way to wind down our day and pray together. It is a true blessing in our lives!

I have been listening to Enkindle a few months. I was curious. But I am writing now to encourage others - especially after I listened to Fr. Erik’s last Podcast. Wow! These are brief but deep Podcasts. There is variety and content but value for individuals and families EVERY WEEK! They give me, and perhaps your busy family too, a chance to hear and learn from Scripture- from God! - amidst all the noise. I know that when our kids were little, Sunday mornings seemed like THE busiest time ever! By the time we got to Mass - I needed a nap. LOL. These would have helped then beforehand or even afterwards... but today they still help me, now in my noisy, busy adult life. Enkindle is so easy to listen to and reflect on for 10mins. Thanks Fr. Erik. Thanks Enkindle. Thanks God!!
