Luke 6:43-45 Today we begin a short series on words... ya' know, the things that come out of your mouth when you speak. Maybe you’ve never really stopped to think much about them, they just happen so quickly. Our words do matter b/c they have power and are important.. atleast, that’s what the Bible says. In this episode, we will talk about where words come from & listen to Jesus teaching using an example of something the people were familiar with..trees and fruit.

This is not our typical episode. I realized I have not updated how my 5yr old son has been doing. I know so many of you have helped join me in prayer and for that, I am beyond grateful. I wanted to say thank you & give a short update. Though there have been hard times,  God has provided so much for us; whether that's resources, some good medical news, or how He has grown us. I would love to share all of this in detail but I know it may be inappropriate for some children to hear and I want to be sensitive to that.  Thank you for your prayers!!!!!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew 6:19-21 & 1 Timothy: 6-10,17-19 You will hear this episode start out just like last weeks however, keep listening because we are adding in different scriptures and discussing a new application. We will hear God's warning about money but also His promises. The kids will understand that money itself isn't bad, it's the LOVE of money that gets us into trouble. We apply this on a very practical level as well as discuss what the Bible says about storing up treasures in heaven.  I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for sharing the Bible with your kids!

Matthew 6:19-21, 24 & Luke 12:13-15  In today's story we hear Jesus teach "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” We discuss what greed actually is and share an example from my childhood that the kids can relate to. We must be on our guard as Jesus says, because often the world we live in tells us the opposite. It says your life is cool, amazing, and valuable IF you buy this thing or that thing. It is not wrong to want things.. we simply must be cautious that we don't become greedy with our wants. God wants us to trust that He will give us all we really need. He gives us reasons to trust him AND explains why his ways are best which will be discussed on the next episode.  Today's episode is brought to you by Abide.

Mark 12:41- 44 This is the beginning of our short series on money. We discuss what we mean when we talk about our "hearts." Today, we hear the story of the poor widow giving out of her poverty. If we quantified it, she gave less than others BUT Jesus still says she gave more than all those who contributed to the offering box. Hmmmm. What does this mean? Well, tune in to today's story to see why it's not the size of the gift that matters.  Thank you for sharing the Bible with your kids!

John 20:17-31 Jesus had risen and his followers got to see him! All were overjoyed except the 1 who  wasn't there when Jesus came. Thomas had missed this incredible meeting and doubted what his friends were telling him. We note that Thomas was a real person just like us & like him, we can always talk to Jesus about our questions or doubts.  Will Jesus come back to show Thomas too?!? What does Jesus call us who haven't seen him but believe? Tune in to hear this story.  To connect with me go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark 1:41-45 & 2:1-12 Today, we hear a paralyzed man get lowered from the roof in hopes to get in front of Jesus and be healed. I wonder if the paralyzed man was disappointed when the 1st thing Jesus says to him is "Young man, your sins are forgiven.” What? They had gone through all this trouble to have him walk again…what was this about sins?  As we continue the story, Jesus shows us that the biggest issue is our sin but the good news is that He can forgive them. We are reminded of the love He has for us as evidenced by the sacrifice He made to forgive us.  Today's episode is sponsored by Fabric.

Daniel 6 To respect the variety of ages and stages of life that listen, I have adapted some of this so please go back and read the scriptures yourself including what is appropriate for your family. Today is the last episode in our Daniel series! As we end, we find Daniel in a very scary situation.... in the lion's den. Daniel had done everything right yet it seemed like everything was going wrong. This story reminds us that even though we do the right things, the outcome can still feel wrong. But be encouraged b/c we hear that God never leaves Daniel's side. The apply section discusses that God loves us and is with us on good days and hard days too. I hope you've enjoyed the Daniel series and if you have missed any, I'd highly recommend you go back and start at Daniel part one.

Daniel 4:28-37 In our last Daniel episode, episode #240, we heard the king writing a letter explaining a bizarre dream he had. If you missed it, make sure to go back and listen because this episode builds upon it.  The king's dream ends up coming true & God humbles him in this process. We discuss the difference b/n humility and pride and are reminded that God was so patient w/ the king. God offers us this same, loving patience when we ask for his forgiveness. God doesn’t roll his eyes when we ask for forgiveness yet again but instead, he’s so patient, so loving, that he HE wants to hear from us.....bring us  back to Him when we wander off the path b/c He loves us so much!
