Acts 3:1–16

Peter and John were headed to the temple to pray when a man who couldn’t walk asked them for money. But instead of coins, Peter offered something far greater—the healing power of Jesus! In this episode, children will hear how Peter did what he could, and then God did what only He could do.
With joyful storytelling, sound imagery, and gentle reflection, this episode teaches kids that we can be part of God’s miracles—not because we're powerful, but because He is!

🌟 Key Takeaways for Kids:

• We get to play a part in God's miracles.
• We can do what we can do, and trust God to do what we can’t.
• The power wasn't in Peter—it was in Jesus’ name.

🚨BIG NEWS!🚨
Since 2017, I’ve received countless requests to translate Kids Bible Stories into Spanish. For years, it just wasn’t possible… until now.
✨ Kids Bible Stories Español has officially launched! ✨

• 👉 Roughly 97 to 120 million children who speak Spanish as their native language.
  

That’s nearly 100 million young hearts who could hear the Bible in their own language t.It’s a massive opportunity for kingdom impact.

God made a way for this to happen thanks to the incredible Rivera family. This family is currently helping plant a church, the City Hope Church, in Mexico.

Madai has begun translating the Elijah series, and building from there.

📖 Main Scriptures:

• Leviticus 1:3–4, John 1:29, Hebrews 9:12

Why did people in the Bible sacrifice animals? Wasn’t that a little… strange? In today’s special episode, we explore a question many of you have asked—and the answer helps us understand just how incredible Jesus’ love really is.

We’ll travel back to the Garden of Eden, hear about how sin entered the world, and discover why people once used animals to cover their sin. Then we’ll meet someone called The Lamb of God—Jesus—and learn why He came to be the final sacrifice once and for all.

Kids will hear the difference between covering sin and cleansing it—and why Jesus' love changes everything.

✨ Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

• Sin is serious—but God’s love is bigger.
• Animal sacrifices pointed to Jesus.
• Jesus didn’t just cover our sin—He takes it away.
• When we mess up, we go to Jesus—not to a priest with a lamb.
• Teaching kids the Gospel through Old and New Testament connections

Luke 22:31-34, 54-62, & John 21:1-17

In today’s episode, we follow one of Jesus’ closest friends—Peter. From the quiet upper room, to the dark courtyard, and finally to breakfast on the beach, we’ll hear how Peter made a big promise to Jesus… and then broke it. But the story doesn’t end there. After Jesus rises from the dead, He lovingly gives Peter a second chance. This is a beautiful story of sadness, forgiveness, and hope—a reminder that Jesus never gives up on us, even when we mess up.

Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

• Jesus knows we’ll make mistakes, but He still loves us deeply.
• Peter denied Jesus three times, but Jesus forgave him and gave him a new job.
• Seeing the risen Jesus changed Peter from afraid to brave!
• No matter how far we run, Jesus welcomes us back and gives us a fresh start.

John 19, Matthew 28, Luke 23, & 1 Corinthians 15:55

In this powerful Easter episode, we continue our journey following the sorrow of the cross to the joy of the resurrection. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus lovingly bury Jesus, and guards are posted at the tomb. But on the third day, something incredible happens—Jesus rises from the dead! With awe and joy, the women discover the empty tomb and meet Jesus alive again. Children are reminded that the cross was not the end—Jesus conquered sin and death, just like He said He would. Because He lives, we have forgiveness and hope!

Matthew 27, John18 & 19 , & Luke 23

I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of this for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.

We begin our story with Jesus speaking with Pilate and end with the crucifixion.

The kids will hear:

-The meaning of the torn veil (listen to episode #281 to go further)

-This was God's plan; there were no mistakes, no surprises. Jesus chose to lay down His life, and by doing so, Jesus took the weight of every sin, past, present, and future.

-It's not always as it seems. The cross is not the end of the story. We have hope because of what happened 3 days later!
