As the Advent season dawns, gratitude often finds itself overshadowed by the rush of holiday checklists, gift shopping, and endless to-do lists. This Thanksgiving weekend, Patti Garibay is joined by Clayton Greene, CEO and co-founder of GoodKind, to help us reclaim a heart of gratitude that carries through all of Advent.  Clayton's journey with GoodKind began with a desire to help families anticipate Christ's arrival in a way that fosters meaningful moments and lasting memories. Together with his wife Kristen and close friends, Clayton created the Advent Blocks—a devotional tool that encourages families to savor each day of December, centering their hearts on the greatest gift: Jesus. Through GoodKind's unique products, including the GratiKube, families can practice daily gratitude in simple, profound ways that cut through the seasonal hustle.  In this conversation, Clayton and Patti delve into the Biblical roots of gratitude, exploring how the Advent season offers a perfect opportunity to reflect on God's unwavering love. Clayton shares how practicing gratitude not only builds family bonds but also brings kids and parents alike closer to a true appreciation of Christ's sacrifice and love. He offers insights on weaving gratitude into daily routines, from mealtime reflections to meaningful conversations, ensuring that the season's heart doesn't get lost in the decorations.  Clayton's tools for celebrating Advent are now available in the AHGstore, and Patti is excited to introduce AHG families to resources that nurture the soul. Tune in for ideas on keeping gratitude alive, and be inspired to celebrate a season filled with purpose, faith, and the true spirit of giving.  To purchase the GratiKube or Advent Blocks, visit the AHGstore at store.americanheritagegirls.org  Learn more about Clayton's work with GoodKind, visit goodkind.shop  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org    Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

It's time for a Top 5 episode, where we sit down and learn from a friend about an area we're both growing in related to spiritual life. And we're so excited to share this conversation between our founder, Clayton Greene, and Amy Gannett! Amy is a mom, entrepreneur, and church planter with so much wisdom to share. Today, it's all about the top five moments in your day to capture a meaningful moment by initiating to the spiritual with your family. It sounds complicated, but it can be so, so simple. It's all about finding the moment, paying attention to it, and practicing small steps over and over and over again. Top 5 Moments To Engage Spiritually With Your Kids 1. Wake up time - Set the cultural tone in the home with the way you greet your kids. What's the first thing they hear from you? And how does it help them relate and connect to you? 2. Meal time - Conversation + food = an opportunity for meaningful connection. There's a vulnerability about eating together that invites conversation. And food gives you the energy for it! Pay attention and create a habit of spiritual conversation over shared meal times. 3. When we have wronged one another - No matter who has wronged someone else or been wronged, it's a critical time to repair and restore relationships. 4. In the Car - Take advantage of the driving time, or walking/scootering time if your in a more urban setting, and invite spiritual conversation and open-ended questions into this time as a regular rhythm. And don't forget that silence and solitude is a spiritual practice too, in case you find yourself in a moment of quiet or at a loss for words.  5. At bedtime - Bookend the days, morning and evening, with even a small nod to the spiritual. By being present with your kids, you are teaching them about the presence and heart of God!

Fellow dads, Clayton Greene, and one of our favorite "Sherpas", Arthur Tew, are here with a special bonus episode this week! Arthur is part of Sherpa Collaborative, a small business accelerator that is has been instrumental in GoodKind as you know it, and all the products we make! Arthur brings alignment and insight to everything we're about, and as he and Clayton began talking about shifts they were making in their schedules this summer, we decided to throw a mic in front of them so that we could share the conversation with you too! We hope it's encouraging and helpful, and also a fun behind-the-scenes look at what some of our daily interactions look like! Top 5 Dad Shifts For Summer Take evening walks. They're great for open-ended conversation! Don't have a plan, just take advantage of the extra sunlight, get out there, and get your wiggles out. Change the location and type of breakfast. Invite conversation and give connection in the morning. Those moments really frame the day for family intimacy. Try competitive sweating. Yes, sweating. Get outside and get some exercise. Work hard and work up a good sweat. It's fun if the kids join in, too. See if you can keep up! Take some "pool afternoons". Leave early on a week day and do a cannonball, already. It is a little bit of extra fun and is incredibly meaningful for everyone involved. Allow for late bedtimes, but don't lose adult time. If your kids are old enough, have them do their bedtime independently. As long as they stay in the room (and stay quiet) then all is well. Give the adults some time to talk and straighten up and be quiet themselves. Bonus Challenge: Try a dad camp. Take a few day (3 - 5) and make a daily schedule that looks a lot like camp. Don't over schedule. Leave space for quiet time, reading, pool, and a strict lights out. Every vacation day away from work doesn't have to be spent on the road traveling.

It's time for another Top 5 Episode, and GoodKind Co-Founder, Clayton Greene, is chatting with Dwell Differently Co-Founder, Natalie Abbott, about enjoying Scripture! We love Dwell's mission to help people memorize more Scripture, and we had a ton of fun talking with her about the Top 5 ways to enjoy it in the process. Check out the conversation and let us know what you think! Top 5 Ways to Enjoy Scripture Include Scripture in one-on-one "dates" with your kids. Sing it! (Loudly, and often) Don't just read Scripture, read culture, too. Read the whole story. Don't forget that the Bible is a metanarrative! Check out The Ology or even try reading the Bible as a novel! Write it everywhere! Try a temporary tattoo, put up prints in your house, or use our Sticky Prayers!

What is Christmas really all about? How are my practices in alignment with my beliefs? In this conversation, Clayton Greene shares the story of how Advent Blocks came to be and challenges us to consider how our celebrations point us to the coming of Christ. GoodKind Shop “You say that Christmas is all about Jesus, but it feels like Christmas is all about presents.” “How much inconsistency is there in my intention to walk with God and practice my faith, and my actual ability to do it?” “Holidays and annual rhythms have an insane amount of power on what we do in a year and [...] in shaping who we are.” “A lot of the excitement you feel in December is actually not pointing you toward the coming of Christ.” “Slowing down and having an analog relational conversational moment about God and what He has done with your family is both being present in that moment and an anticipation of the future moment.” What's changing our lives: Keane: Snacking on carrots Heather: Seeing David at Sight and Sound Theatres Clayton: Playing in the front yard We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast  Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/

If you're not quite in the Christmas spirit yet, I think this episode will get you there, especially as we keep our focus on the birth of Jesus. In today's episode, I interview four people, plus I'm giving away a ton of things (!!) so you want to stick around until the end! My first guest is David Taylor and let me just say, after talking with David, I'm inspired to go and get my doctorate degree. David is a professor at Fuller University and he teaches about the Trinity, the Bible, and creation. His ultimate goal is for his students to know and love God. In this episode, David defines the meaning of Advent, discusses why it matters, and stresses the importance of churches and followers of Jesus committing to the practice of Advent.My second guest is Clayton Greene. Clayton helps us to uniquely anticipate the days leading up to Christmas with our kids – not for the gifts they'll receive but in anticipation of the birth of Jesus. I asked Clayton why Advent is so important to him and his family, and I think we can all relate to his story. In explaining to his five-year-old daughter that Christmas is all about Jesus, Clayton was met with her actual perception of the holiday, as she vocalized to him that Christmas felt like it was all about receiving presents. That's when Clayton said he had to do something about his family's priorities, so he created Advent Blocks. Advent Blocks are a way for kids to anticipate the story of Jesus leading up to Christmas instead of anticipating what gifts may be under the tree. When Clayton first started Advent Blocks, there were five families participating – today, around 16,000 families use Advent Blocks each year to observe Advent as a family! My last guests are Raechel and Amanda, founder and co-founder of She Reads Truth. If you have been listening to the show for a while, you know these two are no strangers to The Happy Hour! Raechel and Amanda's desire is for every person to have a heart that longs for Jesus. They have written serval great resources, and we talk about their most recent resource, “Joy of Every Longing Heart.” We end our conversation by sharing how we can look at the Christmas story and focus on our Savior's return.These resources that my friends have created are very helpful and they remind us what this Christmas season is all about: the birth of our Lord and Savior. Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE

Do you have a rhythm in your home that helps you practice gratitude?  Maybe you have a journal where you write 2-3 things that you are thankful for each day.

So I am excited to have Clayton Greene and Chris Pappalardo back on the podcast to talk about their new product, the Graticube. This is a phenomenal way to practice gratitude in your home.
