Hosted by Christen Clark, a speaker, family ministry expert, and mom, The Collide Kids Podcast | Faith, Family Discipleship & Fun Christian Interviews is a resource for parents navigating the beautiful chaos of raising children with faith at the center. This podcast operates on the idea that spiritual growth doesn't have to be a separate, solemn activity but can be woven into the everyday through conversation, curiosity, and a bit of fun. You'll hear engaging, kid-friendly interviews with a diverse range of guests, from authors and musicians to athletes and everyday people living out their faith, all designed to spark meaningful discussions at home. The conversations aim to help children recognize their own value and purpose while giving parents relatable tools and starting points. Think of it less as another item on the to-do list and more as a supportive companion for the journey of family discipleship, where practical faith meets the real, lively world of kids. Tune in for a blend of encouragement, practical ideas, and genuine stories that meet families right where they are.
