Covenant Kids

Host Lisa talks with Carson about trusting Jesus Christ, praying for help with anxiety and math tests, and finding the scriptures true and engaging. Together they explore Judges in the Old Testament and the repeating cycle of Israel forgetting God, facing trouble, praying, and being rescued. They discuss Deborah’s faithful leadership against Sisera’s 900 iron chariots, Gideon’s victory with only 300 soldiers using trumpets and lamps to show God’s power, and Samson’s God-given strength tied to keeping promises, including the hope of returning to God after mistakes. The episode emphasizes covenants as strength for life, Jesus as the greatest Deliverer from sin, fear, loneliness, sadness, and death, and challenges listeners to do one brave thing this week, such as reading scriptures daily.

Spencer, an eight-year-old who loves sports and Harry Potter, talks about how scriptures help him know Jesus Christ lives and shares a favorite story about Alma and Amulek. Together they study Joshua leading Israel after Moses, focusing on the Lord’s command to “be strong and courageous.” They discuss crossing the Jordan River when the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the water and the river stopped, connecting it to baptism and the promises we make. They cover Jericho, the spies, Rahab protecting them with a red rope, and God’s unusual plan to march, blow horns, and shout until the walls fell. Spencer shares a miracle of fasting and prayer for his sick brother and explains choosing to serve the Lord through prayer, fasting, sacraments, and commandments.

In this episode, Leo (8) shares what he loves about golf and how it teaches him not to quit, tells a joke, and talks about loving the scriptures—especially the story of Noah. Together, they discuss how reading scriptures, praying, going to church, and serving others help build a relationship with Jesus Christ, including how Leo’s brother is teaching people about Jesus in San Antonio, Texas. The lesson focuses on Deuteronomy as Moses reviews God’s laws and reminds Israel to remember the Lord’s words throughout daily life. A “Heart Treasure Keeper” activity helps kids store Christ’s words in their hearts. Leo also shares his baptism experience, the promises he made, and how the Holy Ghost has helped him with school tests, ending with his testimony of Jesus Christ.

Host Lisa interviews six-year-old Mark about prayer, scriptures, and choosing gratitude over complaining while exploring Old Testament stories of Moses and the Israelites in the desert. They discuss how the Israelites grumbled despite daily manna, demanded meat, and received quail, using a “Grumble or Gratitude” game and a short jumping-jack break to teach a better attitude and remembering blessings through prayer and writing them down. The episode also covers Moses receiving help, Miriam and Aaron speaking against him, and the story of Balaam, who is tempted by rewards but learns to obey God when Jesus makes his donkey speak and reveals an angel blocking the way, leading Balaam to bless Israel instead of curse them. Mark shares his excitement to be baptized and his testimony that Jesus is real.

Nicholette (age 9) joins Covenant Kids to share her love for the scriptures, how reading brings her peace, and why Nephi building a boat helps her trust that Jesus can help us do hard things. The episode teaches how Moses and the Israelites built the tabernacle—a portable temple—through sacrifice, offerings, and everyone contributing materials, skills, and time. The host connects this to temple building today through tithing and shares a childhood experience helping raise funds for the Jordan River Temple. Nicholette identifies her gifts (testimony and drawing) and ways to serve others, describes holy places like temples, homes, churches, and nature, and shares baptism memories, guidance from the Holy Ghost, and a prayer answered in an unexpected way. The episode ends with encouragement to follow Jesus Christ through prayer, scriptures, service, and repentance.

The host Lisa, interviews nine-year-old James about Moses receiving the 10 Commandments in Exodus and how commandments connect us to Jesus Christ and bless us with peace, happiness, safety, protection, and guidance. James shares his testimony of the scriptures and Jesus Christ, a miracle in his family after a priesthood blessing, and thoughts on how words can be written on metal and stone, including that the commandments were written by the finger of God. Together they learn kid-friendly actions and a chant to remember all ten commandments, and focus on honoring parents through an “Honor or not” game and honoring the Sabbath as a way to recharge spiritually. They also cover Israel’s impatience and the golden calf, then write “The commandments bless my life” on a rock and close with James’s testimony.

In this Covenant Kids episode, five-year-old Sawyer and host learn from Exodus as the Israelites escape Egypt, Pharaoh’s army chases them, and Moses says, “Stand still and see what God will do,” before the Red Sea parts and God protects His people. The episode includes a walking-through-the-walls-of-water activity, a chant about trusting God when scared, and Sawyer shares a personal miracle of healing after a priesthood blessing. They also discuss desert miracles: bitter water made drinkable, manna and quail from heaven, and water from a rock, pointing to Jesus as the living water, bread of life, and rock.

This week’s wise seven-year-old guest Cooper and host study the story of Moses and the Israelites in Egypt, explaining Pharaoh’s hard heart, why God sent the ten plagues, and how God rescued His people from slavery. Cooper reacts to each plague and talks about relying on Jesus during scary moments. The episode highlights the Passover, with lamb’s blood on doorposts as protection, connecting it to Jesus as the Lamb of God and to the sacrament as a weekly reminder of His sacrifice. They emphasize having a soft heart like a sponge, listening to prophets, preparing for baptism by keeping commandments and reading the Book of Mormon, and ending with Cooper’s testimony of Jesus.

In this special Easter episode, the host interviews 10-year-old Jordan, and they discuss why Jesus Christ’s Resurrection is the most important day in history, what resurrection means, and how Jesus makes resurrection possible for everyone, using comparisons like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and a toy being put back together. The host explains the Atonement as Jesus’s suffering in Gethsemane, His death on the cross, and His Resurrection, using examples like fixing a broken plate and a backpack filled with burdens (mistakes, fear, sadness, worry, sickness) that Jesus helps remove. Jordan describes praying for help with bullying and a math test, shares a miracle about his baby brother’s recovery, and talks about focusing on Jesus during the sacrament and family Easter traditions that teach about Jesus’s last week and the empty tomb.

This episode begins Exodus by explaining how Pharaoh’s fear led him to enslave the Israelites and order baby Hebrew boys killed, and how God protected Moses through the faith of his mother, sister, and Pharaoh’s daughter. Grace (age 5) joins the host to share jokes, talk about reading scriptures to learn about Jesus, and discuss how parents do God’s work. The lesson covers Moses and the burning bush, teaching that reverence is showing deep respect for God at church, during prayer, and in scripture study. God calls Moses to rescue Israel, gives him signs (a staff becoming a snake and a hand becoming sick then healed), and provides Aaron to help when Moses feels nervous. Grace and her sister Eliza share experiences of praying, obeying parents, and knowing Jesus is real.
