Annie's MiniBFF Podcast

In March 2020 when the world started closing doors, Annie F. Downs opened one for her youngest group of friends. She started reading a picture book each week on her Instagram account, and SO MANY friends tuned in. To continue with her love for reading to her miniBFFs, Annie is now sharing stories from her favorite book ever – The Bible. The miniBFF podcast will allow kids (and their grownups) a chance to grow in their faith as she brings the stories of the Bible to life.

    Episode 73: Lydia

    The last episode of Season 5! I know, I am sad too miniBFFS. But think of all the people we have learned about this season!  We have also grown so much deeper in our knowledge of how God works through his people. We have loved using the Go Bible, which brought us lessons from a feature called The True Tales of Transformed People. This part of the Go Bible gives a snapshots of different people from the Bible, and each week we are focusing on one person who has been transformed by God.  For our last week we are learning all about Lydia. Oh miniBFFs, I love her. First she made a very expensive type of purple cloth, which is very unique because finding clothing with color back then was rare, minibffs!  And she used the money she earned from her business to help grow the kingdom of God too. You can also read more about Lydia in the Go Bible on page 1341.  The Go Bible is a wonderful resource for our miniBFFs. It is a Bible that brings the word of God to life through the amazing learning materials packed throughout the bible. It is also written in the NLT version which makes it very readable for our miniBFFs. You can find the Go Bible at your local Christian store.
