Update!

Luke 10:1–4, 17–20 In this week’s episode Jesus sends out 72 followers to share the good news. When they return, they are amazed — even the demons obeyed in Jesus’ name! But Jesus teaches them something even greater: “Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Jesus sent out 72 workers to prepare the way and tell people that God’s kingdom had come. The disciples were amazed by the power they saw, like superheroes in real life. Jesus reminded them that the greatest joy isn’t power — it’s knowing that our names are written in heaven. If you believe in Jesus, you belong to Him forever. That’s better than any superpower. ----------------------------- 🎁 Join the team:Visit ⁠https://www.kbspodcast.com/⁠ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted onetime payment annual plan I also have Kids Bible Stories Bedtime & Kids Bible Stories Espanol now available, FREE, wherever you get your podcasts!  -------------------- Interested in advertising on the show?

John 6:25–35 In today’s episode we hear Jesus tell the crowd, “I am the Bread of Life.” First, we remember how God fed His people with manna in the wilderness. Then, we hear the crowd ask Jesus for a sign, and He explains that He is the true bread from heaven — the one who can fill our hearts forever.  Kids will understand what the word eternal means and we will talk about yummy foods like pizza, ice cream, and lollipops — and how they don’t last forever, but Jesus does. He alone is the one who gives us joy and eternal life. 👉 Parents, today’s takeaway: God is a good Father who gives us wonderful gifts to enjoy, but our hearts are made to love Him most.

Luke 18:1-8 Have you ever prayed for something over and over, and it felt like no one was listening? In today’s episode, we hear Jesus tell a parable — a special story with a deeper meaning — about a woman who didn’t give up. She kept going to a judge who didn’t care about God or people. She begged for justice until he finally gave in. Jesus used this story to teach us something powerful: God is not like that unfair judge. God is good, just, and always listening to our prayers. In this episode, kids will learn: What a parable is. What justice means in words they can understand What it means to be persistent Why Jesus wants us to keep praying and not lose heart. Together we’ll see how God hears us when we pray and promises to make all things right in His perfect timing. ------------------------------- 🎁 Join the team:Visit https://www.kbspodcast.com/ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted onetime payment annual plan I also have Kids Bible Stories Bedtime & Kids Bible Stories Espanol now available, FREE, wherever you get your podcasts!

John 3:2, 16-19, 1John 3:1, & 1John 4:19 All of our readings have something in common....they speak of God's love for us. We are reminded of God's promises that hold true even when we do not feel it. The kids think about what having a bad day feels like and we discuss how feelings are important but sometimes, they can trick us to forget the truth. This is where we turn to our Bible and remind ourselves the truth of just how much God loves us regardless of if the day we are having feels like a good one or a bad one.  Thanks for listening! I hope this helps facilitate good conversations between you and your children. ----------  🎁 Join the team:Visit https://www.kbspodcast.com/ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted onetime payment annual plan Your gift will help us reach our goal of 500 Paying pateron members.

📖 Genesis 39Today’s episode tells the  story of Joseph in Egypt from Genesis 39. Joseph worked hard, honored God, and stayed faithful—even when he was far from home, surrounded by people who didn’t know God, and when doing the right thing cost him something. His story reminds us that: God is with us everywhere. We can choose what is right, even when no one is watching. Life isn’t always fair—but God always sees our faithfulness. 👉 Parental Note:This episode includes an age-appropriate adaptation of a sensitive detail from Genesis 39 in order to remain respectful of our young listeners. We encourage parents to read the full passage in Genesis 39 and explore it further with your children in a way that fits your family’s needs and age level. -------------------------- 🛠 Bonus Tools for Families:Check out our downloadable activity sheet and coloring page that goes along with this episode — a simple way for kids to track acts of bravery and how God helped them in their week!

📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:1–8 & Joshua 1:1–11 School is starting! And whether your child is excited, nervous, or somewhere in between — this episode offers encouragement straight from the Bible. Join us as we step into the sandals of Joshua — a man about to take on a big new job in a brand-new place. Moses, his wise and aged mentor, passes on the baton, and God reminds Joshua (and us!) of one powerful truth: You don’t have to be brave by yourself — God goes with you. We’ll explore what it means to trust God when facing something new, whether that’s a classroom, a new friend group, or the start of a school year. -------------------------- Thanks to today's voice guest, Clayton Greene. Clayton is one of the co-founders of GoodKind, the maker of Advent Blocks.

Luke 10:38-42 Today, we hear the story of two sisters — Mary and Martha! They welcomed Jesus into their home. While Martha hurried about making everything just right, Mary quietly sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to every word He said. Jesus loved them both — the busy one and the quiet one — just like He loves you! Sometimes you’ll be like Mary, quietly close to Jesus. Other times you might be like Martha, busy with chores, homework, or sports that are yelling, “Do me first!” But Jesus gently reminds us: putting Him first is what matters most. Kids will hear what that actually looks like and are reminded He doesn’t love you because you work hard — psst! — you don’t have to earn His love. He loves you because you’re His. ---------- ------------ 🎁 Join the team:Visit https://www.kbspodcast.com/ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted annual plan Your gift will help us reach our goal of 250 new patreon members.

Mark 10:35–45 In today’s episode, we hear the surprising story of James and John asking Jesus a very big question — and how the other disciples reacted!  Jesus teaches them (and us!) something amazing — true greatness doesn’t come from bossing people around or being first. It comes from serving others, just like Jesus did. He is the King of kings, but He came to help, love, and give His life for us. At the end, we talk about simple ways kids can follow Jesus’ example this week - to keep their eyes open for ways to be a helper. Helpers serve and whether it’s big or small, it makes a  difference.  They are reminded that when you help someone, you are serving — just like Jesus did. He is our perfect example.------------ 🎁 Join the team:Visit https://www.kbspodcast.com/ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted annual plan Your gift will help us reach our goal of 1,000 supporters.

John 4:1-16 & John 7:37-39 At Jacob’s well, Jesus surprises a Samaritan woman by asking for a drink and then offering her “living water”—not the cool well water she expected. Kids will hear the conversation they have as the woman is puzzled by Jesus’ words.  She is also shocked that even though He knew her past, He spoke kindly and welcomed her.  Enjoyed this story?
