New to Podcasts?

If you’re new to podcasts, think of them like little radio shows that you can listen to at your convenience. They are perfect to listen to and learn from as you workout, fold laundry, commute to work, or wash dishes. We’ve found even our children enjoy having a podcast on in the background as they play.

How to Listen to this Podcast:

1. Listen right here on the blog. You can download the podcast to your computer or listen to it here on the blog. You can see it in the “podcast player” at the top of this post. Simply press play to start listening.

2. Listen on your smartphone, iPad or iPod Touch – There are a lot of great podcasting apps. A quick search from your favorite device should show up a reliable source. Apple has a free one in the app store that we actually use. You can even speed up the play time to make listening go a little faster for you.

3. Subscribe to the Podcast – You can also listen and subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes by clicking here. The same goes for your favorite listening device. If you would, please leave a review on iTunes to help our rankings and spread the word for other families to find out about us! We’d really appreciate it!

Have a Question or Topic You Would Like Us to Cover?

Simply send us an email and submit your question.

Be sure to include:

We look forward to hearing from you!

      We use the this Catechism for Young Children -> here. It’s the one I found YEARS ago and never looked for something different. 🙂 There are several available online (I now realize, ha!). But that’s the one we use.
