1 Kings 19:19-21
 If you have missed any episodes in our Elijah series, I would highly recommend you go back and listen to them because the episodes build upon each other.
 Today Elijah finds the man who will be taking his place… Elisha. Elijah throws his cloak onto Elisha symbolizing that he is next....tagging him to take his place. 
 We discuss that when God called Elisha, he was doing normal, every day work. Sometimes our work or tasks may seem "normal"( ie: learning to read, helping with the dishes, etc) BUT they all have purpose when we do them with excellence to glorify God AND often God uses those things to prepare us for what's next.
 I am grateful you joined my podcast and I hope your kids are enjoying listening to the Bible through these episodes.

#328: Emotions part 2: WORRY-Feelings aren't Bad but it's What we Do with them that Matters

Statistics are showing an increase of worry and anxiety in children.  This will be a little different from our usual episode but the Bible has a lot to say about this so we thought we should address it.  We will differentiate between fear, worry, and and anxiety and give each emotion their own episode. 
Today we discuss fear:

Are there good fears? ie; fear of fire, or fear of the Lord
Can fear lie to us?
Why does God tell us not to be afraid? What promise does he give with it

**If you would like to hear all of David and Goliath that episode is :#112 "There's no one like you." #307 "What if David had a Bad Attitude" is a shortened version with a different application.
Resources we've used for this: "The Worry free Parent" & "Raising Worry Free Girls" by Sissy Goff.

Kids Bible Stories Podcast: Episode - "Jesus: The True Light"
In today's episode, we explore the powerful message of Jesus as the ultimate beacon in our lives, shining brighter and truer than any other source. We learned that Jesus describes Himself as "the light of the world," offering us guidance, peace, love, forgiveness, and direction unlike any other. Unlike deceptive lights in the world, like the angler fish's lure, which may seem appealing but lead to harm, Jesus' light is always genuine and life-giving.
We also delved into how God's word acts as a lamp for our feet and a light on our path, guiding us through life's journey. This divine light isn't found in the shows we watch, the advice of friends, or the allure of commercials enticing us to desire material things. It's in the Bible, God's word, which always leads us toward what's truly good.
We discussed the importance of discerning between the misleading "lights" of the world—like the temptations of consumerism or messages that encourage disrespect—and the one true light, Jesus, who desires what's best for us. Remember, the next time you're faced with a decision or a direction, ask yourself: does this align with the light that Jesus offers?
Key Takeaways:

Jesus is the true light that guides us with love and truth.
God's word is our ultimate source of guidance, not the fleeting attractions of the world.
Always test what guides you by comparing it to the teachings of the Bible.
