Faith in Families

Light is shining out all over the place when things can be very dark. Jesus is the Light, but we are lights too, pointing the way to Jesus! There's some love for Ed's whiparound question, Jam has fun facts about Lighthouses (and giants), our pirates (and Peter Bighead) return and there’s music from Slugs and Bugs: Let Your Light Shine.

The Poison Dart Frog was scary, but check out the Harpy Eagle! And a flying bear?! Not really. And what happened at the tomb of Jesus? Where was he? And what’s it all about?! We’re in Mark 16:1-8 where Jessica Seeker plans to launch a podcast before realising she already has one! And music from Soul Ceol! Who do you say I am (Mark 8:29): 

This is the most amazing bit of the greatest story ever told! Not even joking. It’s the bit where Jesus dies – but that’s not the whole story! And fun facts about unbelievably poisonous frogs, Jessica Seeker is poking around the Temple and you can singalong to ‘For us’ by Slugs and Bugs here:

Ed pretends to be a snow leopard by having a go at prustenning! It’s a thing! Jam is sure about that. But snow leopards aren’t the only thing to come from the Himalayas. And it turns up in Mark 14:1-9! Jessica Seeker gets a noseful of it, but it shows us how Jesus is worthy of our worship. So why not sing Lift up your voices to Jesus with Awesome Cutlery? https://www.awesomecutlery.com/tracks/lift-up-your-voices/

What is the most valuable thing you’ve held in your hands? Did you know that there are coins that are worth millions! Jam reveals all. And what would make your family startled? Even shocked?! And what shocks Jesus when he gets to the Temple? We find out in Mark’s Gospel (Mark 11: 15-19)! Jessica Seeker returns and music from Slugs and Bugs:

1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar worth millions!

1933 Double Eagle coin worth even more millions!

Who gets to sit on St Edward’s chair? They are quite important! Have you ever sat in an important seat? Some of Jesus’s followers wanted to sit next to him, but what did Jesus say in reply? Ed and Jam find out in Mark 10:35-45. More from Jessica Seeker, who LOVES an important seat, and music from Dumbrocks. Singalong here: https://dumbrocks.com/music/songs/dont-it-make-you-wonder/

You’ll never believe where Jam was not allowed to go! Have you been stopped from going somewhere? The little children want to be with Jesus. And the disciples stop them! Why? Plus fun facts about toddlers and why they don’t like certain vegetables (and it’s not their fault). More from Jessica Seeker plus music from Awesome Cutlery:

What did Ed do when he had to jump out of plane?! Not only was Ed in the clouds, the disciples also ended up in a cloud too. Without even leaving the ground! And then something even more amazing happened. Ed and Jam are back in Mark’s gospel for the second series which means that Jessica Seeker is back too! And a song by Michael Tinker: Jesus is the Hero

What’s the difference between a boat and a ship? And what is it that you just can’t do, no matter how hard you try? Change is daunting, but do ‘knot’ worry! Jesus has got you! Ed looks at Luke 5:1-11 and there’s the return of a very special friend of the podcast who has a new fragrance out, if only she can do something about the other big stink! Jam has some fun facts and stories about boats, ships and there a brief appearance from a steam train! All aboard! Music from Awesome Cutlery

Even lions grow weak and hungry – according to Psalm 34 – but dolphins never forget! And you thought it was elephants, right? Fun facts about memories, happy places and how God is there for us in the rollercoaster of life if only we take care to remember! Our favourite First Mate has a bit of a wobble, and we hear music from Awesome Cutlery because we are all about Good News families!
