    Episode 59: The Son Who Came Home

    Episode 59: The Son Who Came Home

    Jesus spent a lot of time telling us parables while He was on earth. This episode is the parable about a son who told his father he was ready to go off and explore the world and take all his money with him. But the son didn’t handle his adventure very well. He made a lot of mistakes along the way. So many that he was afraid to go home to his dad and admit what he had done. Now we know from the title that the son does go back home. But what do you think his dad does when he arrives? I can’t wait for us to listen and find out! 

    This story, The Son Who Came Home, comes from the book I Wonder and can be found on page 144. You can also read more about this story from Luke 15 in the Bible.

    Episode 57: The Good Samaritan

    Episode 57: The Good Samaritan

    You may have heard about the rule in the Bible that says to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. AND to love your neighbor the way you love yourself. But that word neighbor wasn’t easy for everyone to understand. Because Jesus isn’t just talking about the person who lives next door to you when he says to love your neighbor. Oh no, it is so much more than that miniBFFs. And we get to learn all about who exactly He is talking about in today’s lesson. 

    This story, The Good Samaritan, comes from The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and can be found on page 180. You can also read more about this story from Luke 10 in the Bible.

    Episode 55: Jesus Walking on Water

    Episode 55: Jesus Walking on Water

    So miniBFFs, let me ask you a question. Do you know how to walk on water? Because I sure don’t! But in today’s story we are going to read about one person who had no problem walking on water, Jesus. Not only did he walk on water he walked on water in the middle of a huge storm! I mean trying to balance on water has to be hard enough already, add crazy waves all around you and it just seems even more impossible! But one thing we are for sure learning around here is that nothing is impossible with God. 

    This story, Jesus Walking on Water, comes from the I Wonder book and can be found on page 168. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 14:22-32 in the Bible.
