Good Story: Recent Episodes

Kirsten King

What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?

Hope is good, right? It is when it has a name!!!

I know we're told not to look back, but seriously... every once in a while is a good thing!

My neighbor's cat got stolen and my response was rude and sarcastic but not on purpose.

Mother's Day may not be everyone's favorite day. Even the founder of Mother's Day regretted it.

Do you think of the dentist when you smell lavender? I didn't use to.

My cracked tooth taught me: When one part of the body suffers, the whole body suffers! Let's help those who suffer!

What does "Many who are first will be last and many who are last will be first" tell us about God's generosity? Tune in and find out!

The season 7 premiere of Good Story. In preparation for Easter this week, let's be grateful we can expect the expected!

We can have a hope that hears, hurries, and heralds this Christmas! Just like the shepherds did.

Works can be deceiving. We can't even judge ourselves! God is the only One who can test the motives of our heart.

But exactly what we needed!

This trip was not at all what we expected...

My Grandma Broman had opinions. She talked a lot. She listened well. And taught me much.

Good fruit grows on good trees, bad fruits grows on bad trees but apparently fruit snacks don't grow on either one.

Don't worry. This isn't a commentary on vaccinations. It's more a commentary on my stupidity.

I wish we weren't robbed, but we were and not surprisingly God was faithful even in this.

We got robbed... that wasn't part of our plan... I did leave a window open though.

Some days are easier than others to record. Today just isn't that day.

When things are out of our control, we are reminded that nothing ever was in our control in the first place. And we react. Do we paint? Or surrender?

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. I've got some more stories for you soon but for now, enjoy this short encouragement.

You can't countdown when you don't know when it ends.

I know things are crazy right now but don't be a pecan sandie!

She freaked me out then won me over with her love! Hmmm... not a bad mandate for life!

Who are you? Who is he? Who do you believe? Who do you follow?

It's more than a platitude... sometimes it's cleaning up throw-up!

Boy, am I thankful that permanents aren't!

Mixing up fake Carla, fake Lori and fake Ben for the real people isn't nearly as bad as following a fake God.

It wasn't the best Sunday I ever had, and it was likely Anderson's worst.

Let's cheer more and stress less!! What a gift we have been given to be able to come alongside of one another during our moments of difficulty and to have someone come alongside of us when we're struggling!

I'm okay! No, I haven't stopped doing stupid things so the stories will still be coming. You just have to wait a bit longer!

Christmas is the season of wonder; the first one was too! What do we do with that wonder? We can respond in worship!

Christmas is not for the faint!

Away in a manger with a sh, sh, and a shout. And maybe thwack?

Sometimes we can't recognize a gift for what it is! Surprise!

While you pray, and wait and celebrate... do that AND be thankful.

I can be whatever I want to be? Apparently not. But that doesn't mean I'm sad about it.

Sometimes I can't finish what I start. In fact TBH, I never can... at least not on my own.

Sometimes I just don't feel like finishing what I start. Does it really matter if I do?

What we wear says something about ourselves! Sometimes it can be confusing.

Life in "the midst" can be hard. Putting it in context can help!

David's final pick for season 3, Escalators from Season 1, Episode 26. Now we're moving!

This episode is a rebroadcast of S2 E4 and is one of David's favorites! Take a listen and try to understand.

Sorry about the delay! Take a moment this week to show your mom some appreciation.

We were not putting the fun in funeral on purpose... I still feel badly about this. Just warning ya!

The Seder Service... Forever this will live in infamy in our family!

I am not a fan of the first day of school. It always makes me a little sad when summer is over. But I was totally relieved when my youngest son made it to college.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if it is broke, fix it quickly!

They should give out tickets for talking too much. I don't know who "they" would be, but I know I would get one!

God knows you. He created you exactly, perfectly. He could recognize you with His eyes closed!

When what is lost is found it's time to rejoice! Also, make sure you know where your kids are when you're at a theme park.

Is it easier to lose a key or a car? seems about the same to me.

Oh no! I lost my briefcase; my computer, my Bible, and my lemon drops! Maybe not a big deal to you, but it was to me!

When given the choice to say an encouraging word or be offended... encourage!

A trip to the pharmacy is suppose to make you feel better, not worse! Right?

It's important to know our body parts on every level.

"Haste makes waste!" And sometimes leaves people feeling very ungrateful!!

Join Kenny and I as we reminisce about our time in Norway, and celebrate our anniversary. Sort of.

The Bible is full of amazing verses. Some just are more appropriate than others.

Layers of lessons from Humpty himself. Some of which I didn't mind learning.

Remembering is good but sometimes I need reminders!

Is your gentleness evident? Is mine? I'm not sure. Let me ask Cheverly.

Have you ever learned a lesson from God while you dug in the dirt for pennies and propped your car door open with your head?

God understands you completely, knows your name, pronounce it correctly and invites you to know His name as well!

Everybody may love Pizza, but God did not get His many names based on the democratic process.

Whether I'm there or not, let your conduct match your calling as Christians, Paul told the church at Philippi... It's a good word for us today as well!

Ever wonder what heaven might be like? I can only imagine!!

I can grow something after all! But God grows even more abundant crops.

Welcome to season 3 of Good Story!

I learned a lot while attending https://unwsp.edu/ (UNWSP) back in the day, but there is one thing that stands out above the rest.

Thank you so much for joining us each week for a good story! This is our finale for season 2. Season 3 will start up March 25! Until then, I will rebroadcast my favorites episodes from this last year so stay tuned. Again, thank you so much for listening!

In your midnight, will you sing?

Paul followed God to Philippi and ended up in prison.

Dinger dogs taught me more than I thought they would about following Jesus.

Some things we can fake, like accents. Some things we shouldn't; like following Christ.

Sometimes life dumps stuff we don't want all over us. When that happens, we must be sure to hold on!

I pray that God will be at work in you as the new year comes around!
