The Bible for Kids Podcast

This week hosts Sarah Humphrey and Tricia Goyer talk with Thomas West, senior pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church on his new children's book The Gospel Way Catechism for Kids.

Help children build a strong biblical foundation and confidently navigate today's culture with this engaging, gospel-centered catechism designed specifically for ages 8–12.

Based on the trusted adult resource, The Gospel Way Catechism for Kids equips parents, grandparents, Bible teachers, homeschool families, and church leaders with a practical tool for teaching the essential truths of the Christian faith. Through 50 foundational questions and answers, children learn how God's Word provides lasting truth in a world filled with competing messages and confusing ideas.

Children will explore important questions such as:

• How do we know God and understand His Word?
• Why did God create the world?
• Who is Jesus, and why did He come?
• What is the gospel?
• What is the mission of the church?
• How should Christians live in today's world?

This week host Mike Nawrocki talks with his usual cohost Tricia Goyer and her son Nathan Goyer about their new book, Twist of Time.

They thought they were fighting a war. They didn’t know it was the end of time.

In 1945, war rages across Europe, but deep beneath Prague, another kind of battle is unfolding. It’s a fight not just for land or power but for the very soul of humanity.

Kateřina Dubová, a brave journalist turned spy, receives a mysterious gift from a high-ranking Nazi officer—a jewel tied to a terrifying prophecy. Clues draw her deep into ancient secrets hidden within Prague Castle and a clock that may hold the power to save the world . . . or bring about its destruction.

Kateřina joins forces with Josef Loew, a gifted inventor; Theodora, a daring mafia spy gone rogue; and Dante, a historian with a powerful artifact of his own. Together, they unravel a chilling plot rooted in mysteries that whisper from beyond the veil.

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talk with author Jennifer Marshall Bleakley about her new book, Thank You for Loving Me, and other things your pet wants you to know.

When someone you love loses an animal friend, it’s hard to know how to comfort them. There are no right words and no easy answers—just a deep ache where a beloved companion used to be.

What they long for most is reassurance: that their pet felt every bit of their love—and that their love still lives on.

Written entirely from the pet’s perspective, Thank You for Loving Me (Tyndale Momentum, August 2026) offers the words every grieving heart longs to hear: “Thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving me a wonderful life. Thank you for being my best friend.” And“I’ll always love you.”

As a former grief counselor, author Jennifer Marshall Bleakley knew about grief on an intellectual level, but she developed a new understanding of the various emotions that emerge for someone who is grieving after saying goodbye to the first of two dogs that she has now lost. She said, “When I was counseling, I knew how to run a bereavement group, how to utilize active listening, and when to refer someone for more specialized help. But it wasn’t until I lost my first beloved Golden retriever, Sunny, that I experienced grief on a heart level—on a level no book or theory can fully explain or prepare one for.”

A heartfelt and compassionate way to honor both the loss and the love that remains, this beautifully designed four-color gift book will provide a soft place to land in the midst of grief, as well as a quiet space to reflect, process, and begin to heal.

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talk with authors Jack and Liz Hagler about their book series, Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventure.

Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick’s life? It’s so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In each book, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through a portion of the Bible.

In Over My Head, Patrick meets Moses, who leads him on a journey through biblical events from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In his journal, Patrick records all of his bizarre Bible adventures (BBAs for short). Most of the journal covers Patrick’s weird daily life entries with flashbacks to a relevant Bible adventure. Of course, this journal has to be kept secret, as he’s convinced everyone would think he was crazy! To be clear, Patrick’s journal does NOT tell the real Bible stories. It’s about his Bible adventures. This is not a Bible storybook but rather a creative, humorous kid adventure that also teaches preteens about the Bible.

Packed with funny illustrations for reluctant readers, this Christian graphic novel features:

• Scripture references so kids can look up the Bible stories Patrick experiences
• Laugh-out-loud humor to keep young readers hooked while they learn about the Old Testament
• Uplifting themes to help biblical values take root in children’s imaginations

As kids follow Patrick’s zany life, they’ll be inspired to dive into their own Bibles and uncover the adventure God has for them.

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talk with author Elizabeth Laing Thompson about her new book, In Season: A 90-Day Devotional for Female Student Athletes to Build Faith, Strengthen Confidence, and Train a Growth Mindset

This devotional beautifully captures the heart of what sports can teach us, not merely about competition but about purpose, faith, and the strength of the human spirit. -- Jackie Joyner-Kersee, six-time Olympic medalist

With interactive features such as goal setting, progress check-ins, reflection questions, and journaling prompts, In Season offers busy athletes everything they need to prioritize their spiritual growth while balancing their sport, academics, and relationships.

No matter her athletic goals or level of play, every girl who competes in a sport faces similar joys and challenges throughout her athletic season: The excitement of competition. The sense of belonging. The pressure to win. The athletic season is a physical, emotional, and spiritual roller-coaster ride, and many girls feel so overextended and overwhelmed that they struggle to stay spiritually connected.

In Season is a 90-day devotional that will meet girls where they're at. Tailored for young female athletes, each short devotion offers a much-needed spiritual perspective as readers navigate the highs and lows of sports and life, including building friendships and teamwork, developing leadership skills, cultivating a growth mindset, and more. With Scripture-infused reflections, real-life athlete stories, and practical exercises, In Season is intentionally designed to encourage resilience, confidence, and joy both on and off the field.

In Season features:

• real-world stories and experiences from female athletes in a variety of sports, ranging from high school varsity to the pro level
• inspiring Scripture verses to offer strength and encouragement
• thought-provoking questions and action steps that readers can put into practice right away
• weekly goal-setting and check-ins to track physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being and progress

No athlete should play their season alone. In Season is the playbook girls need to thrive all season long.
