The account of Noah's and the ark is one of the most beloved children's Bible stories. Unfortunately, in an effort to make things more kid friendly, many illustrators don't do the Bible justice when rendering a picture of the ark. It is usually way too small and jam-packed with so many animals that they're sticking their heads out the windows and climbing on the roof. In reality the ark was a massive three-story barge as long as a football field designed to house Noah, his family, and two of every kind of land animal for more than a year. Give our podcast a listen and see what other Biblical (and common sense) reasons there are for why the animals didn't each other while on the ark.

Where is heaven? Is heaven in the sky and hell beneath our feet? To say so would be an oversimplification of what the Bible says. In this video podcast Pastor Brian explains that right now heaven is a real spiritual place that we can't see, but one day God will make it a rock solid reality.

Many of the Bible stories from the Old Testament talk about prophets like Moses and Elijah and Isaiah. God spoke directly to these men and often used them to tell the future and at times do impressive miracles. In this podcast Pastor Brian explains that God allowed the prophets to do these extraordinary things to prove that they had been sent by God to deliver a message from him. God's use of prophets in the church has faded away because now we have his Word in the Bible.

Sometimes it takes a child to ask an adult-sized question. I'm sure all of us have wondered and prayed countless times during the past year, "Lord, why have you allowed the coronavirus to come upon our world and cause so much hardship, suffering, and death? Why didn't you stop it?" Today Pastor Brian explores how the answer to that question is less about God giving us a direct answer (because our wisdom and understanding can't comprehend his infinite plans) than it is about remembering who God is: he is our almighty, all-knowing, all-loving heavenly Father, who can work even something as awful as the coronavirus for our good.

What kid (or adult) doesn't like birthdays and chocolate ice cream?! Together or apart these can make up some of our favorite days here on earth, but what about when we're in heaven? How will it compare? Dish up some ice cream and give it a listen!

When you're young days can seem to drag on. When you're older time slips by too quickly. But even our best days and most exciting destinations wear on us and get boring after a while. We need something new. We need something to do to keep our attention.

Well when we contemplate that heaven is going to last forever, it might be tempting for us to lament, "I bet I'm going to get bored there real quick!" In this podcast Pastor Brian shows us from God's Word why that's never going to be the case.

Angels are fascinating to young and old alike. These spirit beings were created by God to be his special servants and messengers. We hear about them repeatedly on the pages of the Bible--filling the sky on Christmas Eve and appearing to the women at Jesus' empty tomb on Easter morning probably come to mind.

Artists often depict angels with wings, but is that how the Bible usually describes them? Do all angels have wings? Pastor Roloff goes to God's Word for the answers.

As we start a New Year we are reminded of time passing us by. It's appropriate then that our kids' video podcast answers the question, "Why did people in the Bible live so long?"

Moses records for us that before the Noah's Flood it was typical for people to live 800 or 900 years--a longevity we can't even fathom today. We'll see what God's Word says about what has changed since then and be mindful that we should all be ready each day for God to call us from this world to our eternal home.

You have to hand it to kids--they are very observant and can be incredibly logical. With Abby's question this week I imagine her mind must have been thinking something like, "If snakes (today) have venom, and venom is used to kill other animals, what was it like at the beginning when there was no death in the world?"

This is one of those questions that the Bible doesn't answer directly, nor were any of us there to see or test what the perfect snakes were like before sin and death came into the world. In these cases the best we can do is admit that we are guessing but also do all we can to narrow those possible guesses down to being in line with what the rest of the Bible says.

We parents know that children can be very perceptive and sharp. As our children learn more about the Bible and start putting Bible verses to memory, they might notice that sometimes the same verse is said or written slightly differently, which may cause them some confusion. Today Pastor Brian explains that Bibles are different not because God's Word has been changed, but because of differences in translation choices from the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.
