  • The Bible for Kids Podcast - S8Ep11: The Sower's Secret from Brock Eastham and Shawn Stevenson

    This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talk with authors Brock Eastham and Shaun Stevenson about their new book, The Sower’s Secret.

    A hilarious action-adventure series for Christian kids set in a town where the parables of Jesus literally come to life.

    When Anthony and his mom move to the seaside town of Parable Port, they’re just hoping for a fresh start. Anthony soon finds out that there’s something unusual about this little town: it’s a place where Jesus’ parables come to life in surprising ways.

    The adventure begins when a flock of orange birds stalks Anthony and flowering vines grow everywhere, knocking people out cold with their pollen. In the good old days, the living parables would help the town to flourish. But now? Something or someone is messing with the Parable of the Sower and causing chaos.

    With the help of his new friends Duck, J.R., Grace, and Brooklyn, Anthony must uncover clues, decipher riddles, and stay one step ahead of the birds and vines to save the town—before it’s too late.

    This Christian book series for middle schoolers features:

    • A map of Parable Port—Follow along as the kids run around town to solve the mystery
    • Chapter opener illustrations—Comedic and engaging artwork brings the story to life
    • Spiritual lessons—At the back of the book, expand your Bible knowledge with a kid-friendly devotional that explains the Parable of the Sower
    • Penguincast podcast—Get the inside scoop from the characters themselves with a QR code for J.R.’s boots-on-the-ground interviews and analysis
    • A fast-paced story line that makes it perfect for reluctant readers
    • Hilarious antics including an electric blue Cadillac escape car, a secret passage, and a silkie chicken chase will make you laugh out loud


    Join this fun-loving friend crew for their very first faith-filled adventure in Parable Port! Perfect for boys and girls ages 8-12.

  • God on the Go by AllMomDoes - An Aimed Arrow - YMD (You, Your Mom, and Your Dad)
    Some of the hardest moments in parenting are the ones where love looks like guidance, correction, and choosing the long view over the easy win. We're leaning into that tension, reminding us that shaping a child’s future—much like aiming an arrow—takes intention, patience, and a whole lot of grace. Rooted in Scripture, it’s a call to see everyday teaching moments as holy work that helps our kids grow into who God created them to be.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 16th - Proverbs 6:16-19
    Proverbs 6:16-19
    There are six things the LORD hates – no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who sows discord in a family.
    We spend a lot of time talking and singing about the fact that God is a God of love. That’s absolutely right, but we shouldn’t forget that God also has a list of pet hates. None of the things on this list comes as a surprise. God hates arrogance because the arrogant person has no time or space for him. They believe that they have already got all the answers and are content with the way that they are. God hates lies, murder and those who eagerly scheme to do evil, and he detests the person who sows trouble and division in a family.
    God wants us to follow him and to allow our lives to be shaped by his attitudes, so I have to conclude that he wants us to be haters too. He would like us to have a list of things that we detest with such intensity that we are not prepared to live with them. He wants us to stand up against those who tell lies. That will give us quite a lot of work to do because we hear lies in one form or another every day. Advertisers confidently tell us how we can find peace and fulfilment in life. By buying their holiday, car or cosmetics, suddenly our lives will be transformed and we will find contentment. However, it’s just not true, and somebody needs to stand up and dispute their claims.
    At the heart of God’s concerns is his longing for justice. Time and again throughout the Bible, God shows his hatred of how the weak are crushed by the injustices of society. If we love God, we cannot stand idly by and allow injustice to win. We need to get involved in the messy business of challenging injustice and getting alongside those who are the victims of our materialistic and ungodly society.
    Hatred might seem to be a strange word to associate with God, but the reason for it is because he is a God of love. He loves us and our world so much that he is not willing for evil to succeed.
    Question
    What are the things that you hate, and what do you do as a result of hating them?
    Prayer
    Loving God, help me to think more and more in the way that you do. Help me to love other people by hating those things which ruin their lives. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - "How powerful is Satan?"

    What kind of power and influence does Satan really have? How do I trust God when I see hospital workers not tending to my mother the way they should? Is God still concerned with the old covenant? How simple is salvation? Do I need to feel assurance for it to be true? What was Israel chosen for specifically? How can I understand the Bible better? So far, I'm having trouble!

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - From Cross to Crown: What Jesus Finished and What It Means for You! - Part 2
    Here's the gospel written 700 years before Jesus… Discussion Questions:
    1. What does it mean to you that this passage was written 700 years before Christ?
    2. React to this statement: Jesus had "no stately form or majesty."
    3. React to this statement: Jesus understands my pain and my grief. Is this hard to believe? Why or why not?
    4. What is the "great exchange" described here?
    5. Why do you think the gospel divides so many people?
    6. What meant the most to you from this message?

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 15th - Proverbs 6:9-11
    Proverbs 6:9-11
    Lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest – then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
    Fridge magnets often contain a lot of wisdom, and laziness is quite a popular theme. With pictures of slumbering cats, I enjoyed the following three: “If I won the award for laziness, I would send someone to pick it up for me”; “For some reason I feel tired tomorrow”; “I’m not lazy, I’m just highly motivated to do nothing.” Laziness is and always has been a common experience. The writer of Proverbs wrote about it on a number of occasions, and clearly feared it. Without the support of a welfare state or a supportive family, a lazy person would starve. It was as simple as that.
    The problem with the lazy person is that they never get going with anything. They find their bed too attractive. Later in the book, the writer describes how a lazy person is anchored to their bed. He writes: “As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed” (Proverbs 26:14). They live in a dream world, failing to face up to challenges and yet thinking of themselves as incredibly wise (Proverbs 26:16).
    The apostle Paul ran into the problem of laziness in the church in Thessalonica. What was particularly infuriating to Paul was that they gave a spiritual reason for being idle. They were so convinced of the imminent return of Jesus that they gave up their daily work, but Paul would have none of it. True, Jesus might return at any time, but God wants us to be busily engaged in his work. Paul pointed out that he had been working hard day and night in his ministry and was very harsh in his attitude to those who tried to avoid work. He said that those who were unwilling to work should not eat. He also urged the Thessalonian Christians to keep away from idle people because he was so fearful of their influence.
    Whether or not laziness is a problem for you, be sure of this: while we have breath, God wants us to work busily for him.
    Question
    Why is laziness so damaging, and what do you do to avoid it?
    Prayer
    Loving God, thank you that you have work for me to do. Help me to do it with enthusiasm. Amen
