Matthew 14:13-21 & John 6:1-15

In today's episode, we explore one of Jesus' most astonishing miracles—feeding over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two small fish. Join us as we journey back to a time when Jesus, feeling the weight of sad news about his friend John, seeks solitude on the calm waters of a lake. Despite his desire for peace, a large crowd gathers, eager to hear his teachings and witness his miracles.

Experience the sounds of the tranquil lake, the bustling crowd, and the miraculous multiplication of food through vivid storytelling and immersive sound effects. Discover how Jesus, with compassion and divine power, addresses not only the spiritual but also the physical needs of the crowd. We learn that we can faithfully bring what we have to Jesus and with His help, it will be enough.

#328: Emotions part 2: WORRY-Feelings aren't Bad but it's What we Do with them that Matters

Statistics are showing an increase of worry and anxiety in children.  This will be a little different from our usual episode but the Bible has a lot to say about this so we thought we should address it.  We will differentiate between fear, worry, and and anxiety and give each emotion their own episode. 

Today we discuss fear:
Are there good fears? ie; fear of fire, or fear of the Lord
Can fear lie to us?
Why does God tell us not to be afraid? What promise does he give with it

**If you would like to hear all of David and Goliath that episode is :#112 "There's no one like you." #307 "What if David had a Bad Attitude" is a shortened version with a different application.

Resources we've used for this: "The Worry free Parent" & "Raising Worry Free Girls" by Sissy Goff.

#327: Emotions part 1: FEAR- Do Not Fear, I will be with You

Psalm 119:105-112 & John 8:12  

Kids Bible Stories Podcast: Episode - "Jesus: The True Light"

In today's episode, we explore the powerful message of Jesus as the ultimate beacon in our lives, shining brighter and truer than any other source. We learned that Jesus describes Himself as "the light of the world," offering us guidance, peace, love, forgiveness, and direction unlike any other. Unlike deceptive lights in the world, like the angler fish's lure, which may seem appealing but lead to harm, Jesus' light is always genuine and life-giving.

We also delved into how God's word acts as a lamp for our feet and a light on our path, guiding us through life's journey. This divine light isn't found in the shows we watch, the advice of friends, or the allure of commercials enticing us to desire material things. It's in the Bible, God's word, which always leads us toward what's truly good.

We discussed the importance of discerning between the misleading "lights" of the world—like the temptations of consumerism or messages that encourage disrespect—and the one true light, Jesus, who desires what's best for us. Remember, the next time you're faced with a decision or a direction, ask yourself: does this align with the light that Jesus offers?

Key Takeaways:
Jesus is the true light that guides us with love and truth.
God's word is our ultimate source of guidance, not the fleeting attractions of the world.
Always test what guides you by comparing it to the teachings of the Bible.

#324: Easter 4: He has Risen, Just as He said

Matthew 27, John18 & 19 , &  Luke 23

 I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of this for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.

We begin our story with Jesus speaking with Pilate and end with the crucifixion.

The kids will hear:

-The meaning of the torn veil (listen to episode #281 to go further)

-This was God's plan; there were no mistakes, no surprises. Jesus chose to lay down His life, and by doing so, Jesus took the weight of every sin, past, present, and future.

-It's not always as it seems. The cross is not the end of the story. We have hope because of what happened 3 days later!

Matthew 26:36-56

We continue our Easter series.  I respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of these for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.

This story begins in the garden of Gethsemane and ends with Jesus being arrested. We remember that Jesus could have whispered 1 word and 100’s of angels would have appeared to rescue him BUT he didn’t do this. Why?

Because He chose to. He chose to obey God b/c he loves God the father!!!! God’s plan had been there all along to rescue us b/c he loves us that much!

The children will be reminded that Jesus is always in control and that He loves them very much!
