Our Website is undergoing a major transformation at this very moment and we thank you for visiting. There is a new vision taking place with Common Good Radio, please come back soon so we may share with you what we have been blessed with to offer families, faith communities, school communities, and all those who care for the youngest among us. Thank you for you patience!
As adults, we know that digital culture is part of your world, which makes it a part of the world your children live in. In 2008 we created Common Good Radio™ so in this digital culture you and the children in your life or sphere of influence can have:
one of the oldest spiritual practices in the Christian tradition. Jesus often said, “let anyone with ears listen.”
A joyful reminder of voices that speaks to the discovery of a spiritual journey
Support for the faith centered life you and the children you love seek
A social justice response to commercial media targeting children in the 21st century
Growing up today surrounded by media shaping identity, behavior, and faith calls us to help children learn to listen to media with wisdom, discernment, and purpose!
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and helping us grow!
Core Theology of Listening
The ministry is grounded in a fourfold practice of listening that shapes spiritual discernment in a media-shaped world.
Listening Upward
Listening for the voice of God through scripture, prayer, music, and the wisdom of faith.
Listening Inward
Attending to the inner life—emotion, imagination, conscience, and the movement of the Spirit within us.
Listening Outward
Listening carefully to others, to children, to communities, and to the stories present in culture and media.
Listening Forward
Listening with hope and discernment toward the future, helping children imagine faithful lives in a changing digital world.
These four directions of listening nurture the spiritual discipline that stands at the heart of the ministry.
We help young people record their ideas and core values.
