  • Très joli podcast pour aider les enfants à s’endormir

    De jolis mots pour rassurer les petits avant de dormir. La référence à la bible est bien expliquée. Des petits moments musicaux complètent les explications données avec une voix très douce. Bravo et merci.

  • Perfect for children and their adults!

    My 11 YO, my 8 YO, and I found this podcast really helpful during this year's lead up to Christmas. With the stress & uncertainties of the covid world, this 10 min meditation helped us calm down and really tune into what God is saying to us. Love the soothing voice, fun kids' takes on themes, combined with cathedral style music. Please make more!!!!

  • Beautiful evening sharing for and with children of God’s love

    In a gentle and warm voice, the narrator, together with a few children and rich clips from a beautiful choir, shares the love of God for us all through a weekly theme. A short passage from the psalms, children’s’ own words, and an explanation of the theme brings it simply into the listener’s day/evening and heart. The podcast closes with a comforting prayer for bedtime. It is delightful and fun to hear the children share their own sweet definitions, and uplifting to hear the choir underscore the... more

  • A calm end to the day

    My kids have enjoyed listening on Sunday evenings. They love hearing the children’s voices and the occasional bit of French. It’s been a wonderful part of our Advent and I look forward to more of this calm and simple listening experience through the rest of the year.
