Episode 11: Gideon the Soldier

Read by: Jacob DeRusha, St. Patrick staff

Welcome to the Bible Storytime podcast, a production of St. Patrick Catholic Community. https://stpatcc.org/ Gideon the upright is called by an angel of God to a great task. Gideon tests God to be sure the message is real. When he is certain of his call, Gideon takes on a very difficult task. In the end, when most of his followers have abandoned the cause, who will get the glory?

We believe in sharing the stories of the Bible with the next generation. By telling our shared “family stories,” we may learn better how God wishes to work in our lives. This project brings together adult and teen lectors from our community, staff and clergy to tell these exciting and dramatic stories, particularly to children ages 3-8, but to be enjoyed by all.

These stories come from the Read-Aloud Book of Bible Stories written by Amy Steedman and published by Sophia Institute Press. https://www.sophiainstitute.com/.

This episode was engineered by Chad Carpenter and features original music by Payton Bagshaw.

This project is made possible by our community’s faithful Giving, Praying, and Serving. It is our gift to help you strengthen your journey as a Christian Disciple in Mission.
