Hebrews 11:1–12 

This episode gently helps children understand the meaning of faith—believing even when we cannot see. Using the beautiful imagery of cloud-covered mountains, your child will hear how faith is trusting that God is still there, even when He feels hidden. Through Hebrews 11, kids will meet faithful people like Abel, Noah, Enoch, and Abraham and learn how each one trusted in what they couldn't yet see. 

• Your child will be encouraged to think, reflect, and respond—with interactive questions and warm storytelling designed to make deep spiritual truths both understandable and relatable.

📖 Main Scriptures:

• Leviticus 1:3–4, John 1:29, Hebrews 9:12

Why did people in the Bible sacrifice animals? Wasn’t that a little… strange? In today’s special episode, we explore a question many of you have asked—and the answer helps us understand just how incredible Jesus’ love really is.

We’ll travel back to the Garden of Eden, hear about how sin entered the world, and discover why people once used animals to cover their sin. Then we’ll meet someone called The Lamb of God—Jesus—and learn why He came to be the final sacrifice once and for all.

Kids will hear the difference between covering sin and cleansing it—and why Jesus' love changes everything.

✨ Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

• Sin is serious—but God’s love is bigger.
• Animal sacrifices pointed to Jesus.
• Jesus didn’t just cover our sin—He takes it away.
• When we mess up, we go to Jesus—not to a priest with a lamb.
• Teaching kids the Gospel through Old and New Testament connections

Luke 22:31-34, 54-62, & John 21:1-17

In today’s episode, we follow one of Jesus’ closest friends—Peter. From the quiet upper room, to the dark courtyard, and finally to breakfast on the beach, we’ll hear how Peter made a big promise to Jesus… and then broke it. But the story doesn’t end there. After Jesus rises from the dead, He lovingly gives Peter a second chance. This is a beautiful story of sadness, forgiveness, and hope—a reminder that Jesus never gives up on us, even when we mess up.

Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

• Jesus knows we’ll make mistakes, but He still loves us deeply.
• Peter denied Jesus three times, but Jesus forgave him and gave him a new job.
• Seeing the risen Jesus changed Peter from afraid to brave!
• No matter how far we run, Jesus welcomes us back and gives us a fresh start.

John 19, Matthew 28, Luke 23, & 1 Corinthians 15:55

In this powerful Easter episode, we continue our journey following the sorrow of the cross to the joy of the resurrection. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus lovingly bury Jesus, and guards are posted at the tomb. But on the third day, something incredible happens—Jesus rises from the dead! With awe and joy, the women discover the empty tomb and meet Jesus alive again. Children are reminded that the cross was not the end—Jesus conquered sin and death, just like He said He would. Because He lives, we have forgiveness and hope!

Matthew 27, John18 & 19 , &  Luke 23

 I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of this for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.

We begin our story with Jesus speaking with Pilate and end with the crucifixion.

The kids will hear:

-The meaning of the torn veil (listen to episode #281 to go further)

-This was God's plan; there were no mistakes, no surprises. Jesus chose to lay down His life, and by doing so, Jesus took the weight of every sin, past, present, and future.

-It's not always as it seems. The cross is not the end of the story. We have hope because of what happened 3 days later!

Matthew 26:36-56

We continue our Easter series.  I respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of these for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family. 

I will also encourage you to listen to all of the episodes in this Easter series in order, as the stories build upon themselves. It starts at #369.

This story begins in the garden of Gethsemane and ends with Jesus being arrested. We remember that Jesus could have whispered 1 word and 100’s of angels would have appeared to rescue him BUT he didn’t do this. Why?

Because He chose to. He chose to obey God b/c he loves God the father!!!! God’s plan had been there all along to rescue us b/c he loves us that much!

The children will be reminded that Jesus is always in control and that He loves them very much!

Matthew 26, John 13, &  1John 1:9 

We begin our Easter series with:

1. Hearing Jesus, the king of kings, serving and loving his disciples by washing their feet.
2. Introduce the betrayal BUT remind kids that Jesus was not alarmed by this. Jesus knows everything and this isn't "throwing off his plans." 
3. Learn the significance of the passover (We keep it age appropriate; if you want help talking further about the passover, head over to my IG @kidsbiblestories )
4. Explain the connection of the last supper and communion.

As always it will be a fun journey that engages the kids and is explained on their level so they can apply and remember it. We want them to know that God's word is for them, He loves them, and they can know Him!
