Time well spent! Our favorite! š„³
So grateful to have found this podcast this Christmas. It is exactly what we were looking for-Beautiful production, meaningful scripture and contemplation, and still fun for my daughter to not only learn from, but enjoy as well! She listens to episode after episode while drawing. Thank you for creating this! I can see the seeds being planted from this practice, bearing a harvest in the lives of our children! šāØ

Wonderful!!
We have been listening to We Wonder over the past few, and it is so lovely! Our kids are now 5 and 7 and itās become an advent tradition to snuggle up and listen together each evening. I think I even get more out of it than the kids! Thank you so much for producing this!!

A Gift!
Our family loves this podcast (adults and kids). It is simple, but thoughtful. Allowing for space to soak in the Word and itās helping my kids learn how to ask good questions about what they hear and read.

Wonderful for family/childrenās worship
Thank you. I was looking for Lenten resources and this podcast is absolutely perfect. I plan on playing it for my children in the mornings. Itās done in the style we use for our churchās childrenās worship with storytelling from scripture and then asking āI wonderā questions at the end putting the children in the story. I love the contemplative music and peaceful invitation into Godās story.

Excellent Basics of Contemplative Prayer for Adults
I started listening during the Lenten series and already have been so blessed by this practice. I had started practicing the Examen but still was struggling in contemplative/Jesuit prayer without a lot of guidance.
I love how this practice breathes new life into familiar scriptures.

Lovely encouragement.
I shared the advent podcasts with my five children. Ages 8 to 18. I appreciate the scripture readings. Slow peaceful space to ponder and be still.

Knowledge and Faith is more understood

A āwonderāful pause to welcome Advent
This podcast is a wonderful way to pause and enter in to the Advent season! It is rich with analogy, texture and hope in Godās word. I am so pleased to have this resource at such a time as this! Selah!!

Lovely
We listen to this with our kids. They never look like they are listening but then ask good questions later about things they heard. I find it very soothing and lovely as well as encouraging.

A place to breathe
I LOVE this podcast! I use it for myself (Iām an adult... mostly) but even so, the length is perfect. The tone is peaceful and calming. Iām always amazed that the simplicity never detracts from the depth of what is being shared.

So great for all ages!
We listen as a family almost every day. We love engaging with Scripture through We Wonder, and we are so thankful for this wonderful resource! Pour yourself coffee, gather the kids close, and see if this might become a treasured part of your day, too!

Wonderful resource
This is how podcasts should be. My kids and I love itābrief, calming, and deceptively simple in introducing folks to the depths of meditating with scripture as a practice. Thank you!

Spiritual Dessert!
I love listening to these short morsels of spiritual food. I use it along with my Sacred Ordinary Days Journal which is also based on the church calendar year. It is very peaceful and is like a guided meditation. These encourage me to think/ wonder about my life. If you are an introspective person who loves to delve deeper into spiritual things, or just want to ponder on Godās word while relaxing, this is highly recommended.

Beautiful
I listen to this podcast in the morning before I get up.... such a wonderful gentle, quiet way to start my day! Thank you so much!

Wonderful
I just started listening to these 3 days ago and the episodes with the practice of Lectio have been exactly what I have needed to ground myself! I realize this is a devotional podcast for children and I look forward to listening to the other styles of episodes but would love this to be an ongoing thing!

Best Podcast Ever
I Really Like This.

So grateful
I can hardly express how thankful I am for this podcast! I have been listening to Pray As You Go for years, and this strikes me as a similar podcast but developmentally appropriate for my 8 year old and 2 5 year olds. We just started listening to it at night and Iām in love! It helps my children connect with God by inviting them into His Story. This is a hard season for us and our world this Easter. Here is a glimmer of hope and light.

Soothing
I have practiced the Examen for years, but being guided through it in such a kind, comforting, honest way brought me to tears...the first ones I have been able to cry since everything began to change in our world with Covid-19. We have adapted this as a new bedtime family rhythm, and it has been good...the reflection, Psalm prayer, music and reminder that we are Godās beloved children. Thank you for offering your gift to us at this time.

Beautiful
We began with the Advent episodes and the Lent series is just as beautiful. I highly recommend particularly for ages 5-12, but really the truths are for everyone. Each episode includes an introduction to a topic, Scripture reading, a contemplation, or time of wondering, and a prayer. I love how it honors childrenās thoughts and feelings about God and his word. These episodes bring our younger family members in to participate and interact with Godās word.

Constructive Feedback
New to these lovely Christian mediations...they are something I have been yearning for and Iām soo glad I found them! That being said, the childrenās voices in the recording are a bit off and hard to understand compared to how lovely and light and beautifully recorders and edited every over piece of each episode is from the hosts lovely voice, the instrumentals, music and transitions. I assume they are her kids and I get wanting to include them. I think recording a single child each day in a chill tone (more sweet tone, less chant tone) would help keep the integrity of these amazing episodes!

Joyful, Hopeful Waiting
We loved waiting with Sarah Dahl and her listening community through Advent...and we have been waiting with sweet anticipation measuring this next season with her and you all. Thankful for the contemplative content, slowing down to practice, ponder...and to wonder while we await His return.

So special!
My husband started this podcast with the kids leading up to Christmas. They listened everyday on the way to school. The boys started asking for it on their own... and their prayers to God are deeper and more personal than they were before that month. šāØš I love how they talk about God and how they include kids too. SO Iām excited to see what happens during this new Lent season. (But our drive to school is now under a minute soooo we gotta find a new rhythm šš¤) Highly recommend!!

Great quality story-telling and rhythms
The advent series gives such an approachable survey of Old Testament history in an applicable way. Fun to listen to even after Christmas! I love the peaceful approach of this podcast and am recommending it to all my friends with kids.

Wewonder is not just for children!
Iāve been linking my blog readers this Advent to this podcast and both adults and children are loving it. Iāve learned things, though I have been a believer for 53 years, and written many Bible study guides. Simply beautiful. Iām making this podcast a habit.

Wonderful And Reflective
A thoughtful addition to our advent readings! I love the questions that make us wonder and the prompts to ābreathe inā Godās promises and truths. Beautifully produced!
StoryandWonder
Thank you ā¤ļø
Iām not a parent, but I have long been in search of a podcast that combines scripture and mindfulness. Finding We Wonder has been a blessing for me during a very difficult season of my life. It has been a lovely way to wind down after a long day and bring me back to the basics of Godās loving plan for me. For the first time in many many months, I am finding meaning again in the Bible stories that I cherished as a child. Thank you.

Slowing down together
My daughter, Margaret, and I like this podcast a lot. We snuggled up together to listen to it.
We use the season of Advent to prepare for the miracle of Christās birth by slowing down, so we donāt miss the miracle. We light candles on our advent wreath every night at dinner. We are adding an ornament a day to our Christmas tree to slow down the decoration, and enjoy the season of Advent. Margaret eats one chocolate a day from her advent calendar. Weāre using this podcast as our advent devotional. Thanks for making it! Margaret and I love it!

Celebrating His first coming & preparing for the second!
Thank you for this podcast! Our girls are 9 and almost 7 and they LOVE this podcast! Actually we all love it. It provides a set time and space for us to gather together as a family, quiet our hearts and minds, and listen to the Good News and wonder! My husband travels a lot for work and this podcast allows him to participate with us as a family while on the road. Such a gift! Thank you!
Olivia and Emily say their favorite things to do during Advent are the Advent calendar readings each night and placing the people in the nativity (and listen to We Wonder which is a new tradition for us this year), decorate the Christmas tree and house and recall memories behind each ornament or decoration, and make birthday treats in honor of Jesus!

Calm, honest, contemplative
Every year I look for great tools to get our three children into the big Story of God through Jesus, and the parent intro episodes of We Wonder podcast sound promising.
If you are a parent who cringes to hear loud, fast-paced content that leaves your kids laughing but unable to explain the main idea, this podcast sounds like a calm breath of clarity and invitation from the Holy Spirit. Or if your kids long to hear children like themselves explaining their journey in faith with Jesus as Lord, this podcast seems to invite that participation and leadership. Or if you long for the full Biblical reference to be read, so the living Word of God can actively change our hearts, this may be the podcast for your family.
If you are a parent who checks out podcasts for a website with a statement of faith/core beliefs, this podcast has one!
Lastly, while I listened to the first five podcasts aimed at parents, my ten year old perked up her ears. Abigail shares that what she looks forward to about preparing to celebrate Jesusā birthday is, ālighting the Advent wreath candles and singing a hymn verse together as a family. I love singing the story of Jesus.ā
