Hey friends. Today’s story is a tough one—but don’t worry, it’s part of the greatest rescue plan ever. We’re heading into John chapter 19, where Jesus shows just how much He loves us—even when everything gets really, really hard. In today’s story Jesus, the true King, is treated like a criminal. The crowd yells “Crucify Him!” and Pilate, the Roman ruler, gives in. Jesus is hurt, mocked, and made to carry His own cross. But even when things seem scary or unfair, Jesus isn’t out of control. He’s still King. He’s still good. And He’s still carrying out God’s perfect rescue plan. This part of the story reminds us just how deep God’s love really goes—so deep that He gave everything to bring us back to Him.

Podcast Questions:

1. After they hurt Jesus, what did they put on him?

2. When Pilate told the people that he found no guilt in Jesus, how did they respond?

3. What happened to Jesus that night after all the mistreatment he received?

Today’s story takes us into a garden at night, where something really important—and really hard—happens.

Jesus had just finished praying with His disciples when Judas showed up… but not to pray. Judas brought a group of soldiers and leaders with torches and weapons. They came looking for Jesus, but guess what? Jesus didn’t run or hide—He stepped forward and said, “I am He.” Even in danger, Jesus cared for His friends. He told the soldiers, “Let my disciples go,” because Jesus is the Good Shepherd who protects His sheep.

But Peter… well, he got scared. First, he tried to fight back with a sword (and even cut off someone’s ear—yikes!). But Jesus said, “Put it away. This is part of God’s plan.” Then, after Jesus was arrested, Peter followed from a distance—but when people asked if he knew Jesus, he found himself scared again.

Meanwhile, Jesus was being questioned, but He stood strong. Even though this night was full of fear and sadness, we see how brave and loving Jesus is. And we also see how people, like Peter, can mess up—but Jesus still loves them and has a plan to make things right.

Podcast Questions:

1. Where did Jesus and his disciples go after He finished praying?

2. Who approached Jesus in the Garden?

3. Who did the people want to free, instead of Jesus?

Hey friends! Today we’re jumping back into the Upper Room with Jesus and His disciples. Jesus had already washed their feet and shared lots of amazing things, but He wasn’t done yet! He had one more super important promise to make: He was sending someone very special — the Holy Spirit!

Jesus explained that soon, He would go to be with the Father, but He wouldn’t leave His friends alone. The Holy Spirit would come to help them! He would show the world what’s true about sin, and how through Jesus, we can be made clean and whole again. The Spirit would guide the disciples (and us!) into all truth, and always point us back to Jesus and the Father.

Even though the disciples felt confused and maybe even a little sad, Jesus promised that their sorrow would turn into joy. They just had to trust Him — because He knew exactly what they needed!

So, grab your Bible and let’s explore how the Holy Spirit is our faithful guide, our helper, and a forever friend sent by Jesus Himself!

Podcast Questions:

1. What were the disciples beginning to understand that made them sad?

2. Jesus reassures the disciples by telling them he has overcome what?

3. What does Jesus do after he reassures the disciples?

Hey kids! In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of Jesus’ most amazing word pictures yet — the vine and the branches! 🌿Jesus says He is the true vine, and we’re the branches, which means staying close to Him helps us grow strong and full of life. Kinda like how a branch needs the tree to survive!

We’ll explore how Jesus is not just our King and Savior—but also our friend. He wants us to have big joy and deep love, the kind that overflows to others. 💖 He even says that the greatest love is when someone lays down their life for their friends… and that’s exactly what He did for us.

But being Jesus’ friend isn’t always easy. The world might not understand why we follow Him. It can feel lonely sometimes. But don’t worry! Jesus promises that His love is stronger than anything else—and it lasts forever.

So grab your Bibles, your imagination—because this episode is full of love, friendship, and the good kind of fruit 🍇 (not the mushy bananas kind).

Hey friends! Buckle up, because in today’s episode, we hear about MAJOR promises from Jesus—and they’re the kind that make your heart feel all warm and cozy inside! 🏡💛

The disciples were worried (like, “Where is Jesus going? And how do we even get there?” kinda worried). But Jesus, being Jesus, calmed them down with this amazing truth: “In my Father’s house are MANY rooms—and I’m saving you a spot!” Um, can we say best house ever? 😍

And then came news of an amazing gift: the Holy Spirit! Jesus promised a helper who would live INSIDE us to guide, love, and never leave us—even when we mess up big time. 

We learn that God doesn’t just want to visit us—He wants to make His home in our hearts. The God who created the stars wants to be with us. And that, my friends, is some beautiful, peace-filled, heart-melting news. 💫💙

So, whether you’re dancing around the house or brushing your teeth, remember: Jesus went to prepare a place for YOU.

Imagine this: the King of the world—Jesus—kneels down and does something totally unexpected...and stinky!

Jesus was teaching his disciples (and us!) something super important: that real love means serving others, even in the humblest ways. 

In this episode, we hear from Simon Peter, who’s full of big feelings and bold questions. He doesn’t always get it right—but wow, does he love Jesus! Through his story, we learn that following Jesus means having a heart that’s willing to grow, forgive, and care deeply for others.

We also step into a moment full of mystery and sadness, when Jesus reveals that one of his close friends is about to betray him. It's a tough part of the story, but even here, Jesus shows love and grace. We'll talk about what it really means to be clean—not just on the outside, but deep down in our hearts.

And don’t worry—it’s not all serious! We’ll explore how Jesus comforts his friends with a big, beautiful promise. So grab your adventure hats and come wonder with us: What does it look like to live like Jesus today—with hands ready to serve and hearts full of love?

In this episode, we step into the incredible story of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, as she does something totally unexpected—she pours out an entire jar of precious perfume onto Jesus' feet! Why would she do that? And why did some people (looking at you, Judas!) think it was a waste? Jesus responds in a way that might just change how we think about showing love and gratitude today.

But that’s just the beginning! The story builds toward an epic moment—Jesus’ grand entrance into Jerusalem! But here’s the twist—many people thought Jesus had come to be a powerful king who would overthrow the Romans, but He had a much bigger mission in mind. What was He really doing? And what’s up with the donkey? (Spoiler: It’s more important than you think! )

Let’s jump in!

What if recognizing a familiar voice was the key to knowing where you truly belong? In today’s adventure through John 10, we step into one of Jesus’ most powerful stories—the tale of the Good Shepherd. Imagine a shepherd who knows every single one of his sheep by name, guiding them, protecting them, and calling them home. That’s the picture Jesus paints of Himself! But not everyone was ready to listen.

We’ll uncover what Jesus meant when He said He’s the door (wait, a door? Yep!), and why that was such a big deal to the rule-following Pharisees. Plus, we’ll explore how belonging to God isn’t something we earn—it's a gift wrapped in love and grace!

So, whether this story is brand new to you or you’ve heard it before, get ready to see it in a whole new light. Because the Good Shepherd is calling—and His voice is one you won’t want to miss!
