  • The Christmas Story: An Angel Visits Mary

    Welcome to the Christmas season!  Our story begins with a question: if you were God, and it was time to do something new and special in the world would you invite people to help or do it yourself?  Why?

    Hear how God did choose to do a new, special thing in this story.

    Plus, we talk about a question from kid-listener Mia, age 4 1/2:  Why do angels have wings?

    After listening, we hope you'll jump in and send in a question of your own!  You can record it and email it to us: [email protected] or leave us a message on Voxer:  AskAwayPodcast.

        • Jesus Gets Lost ... sorta

          • CJ, age 10: Why don't we see angels now like Mary did at the tomb?
          • Oliver, age 5:  If Jesus is alive, why can't we see him?
          • Eloise, age 6: Why do we celebrate this story with chocolate bunnies and eggs?

            • Jesus Dies on the Cross

              In this STORY episode, we hear about the sad day--when Jesus was arrested, put on trial, and died on a cross.

              Grown ups: we know this is a sensitive story for little ones--we've tried to balance telling the story but not being detailed about the violence of the passion.  Still, you may wish to listen ahead to be sure it matches your child's age and temperament. 

              Kids: we want to know what questions you have about the story.  Send them to us at [email protected] or record them to Voxer: AskAwayPodcast.  When you do, tell us your first name and age, and what you wonder about.  We'll make another episode talking about your question.
