    Mark 1:14-28 In today’s episode, we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark. Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee and calls His first disciples—ordinary fishermen named Peter, Andrew, James, and John. With just two simple words, “Follow Me,” Jesus invites them into something completely new. In this episode, kids will: Walk alongside Jesus by the Sea of Galilee and imagine the sights and sounds of fishermen at work Learn what Jesus meant when He said, “I will make you fishers of men” Discover why Jesus taught with authority See Jesus’ power over darkness as He heals a man with an unclean spirit Be encouraged that Jesus seeks us first and lovingly calls ordinary people to follow Him We’ll also pause to talk about what it really means to follow Jesus today—at home, at school, and with our friends—and how God loves to use everyday people to share His good news with the world. At the end of the episode, we’ll pray together and share special listener shout-outs. Want to Go Deeper as a Family?

  • #403: Warnings Are a Gift - Mark part 2

    #403: Warnings Are a Gift - Mark part 2
    Jan 28 2026
    Mark 1:1–8 Before Jesus begins teaching, performing miracles, or gathering crowds, God sends someone first to prepare the way. In this episode, kids meet John the Baptist—the “voice in the wilderness”—and travel with families to the Jordan River to hear his message and see people being baptized. Along the way, we learn what repentance means, why John said he wasn’t even worthy to untie Jesus’ sandals, and how all of this was part of God’s plan from the very beginning. We’ll also hear a true story about the Titanic and discover why warnings aren’t meant to scare us—they’re meant to save us. Most of all, children will be reminded that God is patient, kind, and loving. Even when people mess up or forget Him, God always welcomes His children back when they ask for forgiveness. 🎯 Big idea: God lovingly warns us because He wants to save us—and Jesus is the King who came to rescue us. ------------ Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠kbspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and click Support & Bonus Content to: 💛 Give a one-time gift of any amount OR 🙌 Access the entire KBS Family Library of content- enjoy weekly bonuses and AD FREE episodes! 📣 Interested in partnering with us? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about advertising here.⁠⁠⁠

  • #402: The Beginning of the Good News- Mark part 1

    #402: The Beginning of the Good News- Mark part 1
    Jan 21 2026
    Today we begin a brand new series through the Gospel of Mark! Because we’re starting a new series, this episode is all about helping kids understand the book before we dive into the stories. When we read a book of the Bible, it’s important to ask: Who wrote it? Who was it written to? And why was it written? In this episode, we discover what a “gospel” is, why there are four Gospels, and that Mark wrote down the apostle Peter’s eyewitness stories about Jesus. We also learn that Mark’s big question is: Who is Jesus? This episode is like laying the foundation before we start building. It prepares us for everything that’s coming next as we begin this journey. ------------ 2 Minute Survey We’re running a very short, listener survey to help us understand our audience and keep Kids Bible Stories going strong. While this podcast is mostly funded by listener support, our sponsors help keep it free for families, and this survey helps them help us. It’s simple, it’s quick, and it’s a really practical way you can support the show. Thanks for helping ------ To connect with me go here

  • #401: Not Everyone Wants to Follow Jesus

    #401: Not Everyone Wants to Follow Jesus
    Jan 14 2026
    📖 Scripture Matthew 2 & John 10:10 In today’s episode of Kids Bible Stories, we continue the Christmas story and discover that not everyone was happy about Jesus’ birth. While the Magi followed the star and worshiped Him, King Herod felt threatened and refused to bow down to the true King. When Herod realized that he had been outsmarted by the Magi, he was furious and gave orders to destroy all the boys in Bethlehem and the surrounding towns—hoping this terrible plan would get rid of Jesus. Through the story of the Magi, King Herod, and God’s unstoppable plan, kids will learn one important truth: not everyone wants to follow Jesus—some want to be their own king. Of course, there are many reasons people resist God, and it would take far more than one episode to explore them all. In this story, we focus on just one: the human desire to be our own god- thinking we know best. Jesus reminds us that He came to give us life to the full (John 10:10). Following Him isn’t about losing freedom—it’s about being rescued into a life filled with forgiveness, love, and joy. This episode invites kids to reflect on everyday choices—like patience, honesty, and humility—and to consider what it means to let Jesus be King of their hearts. ****PARENTS: I also want you to know that I believe Scripture clearly teaches that only God can change a heart. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. ‘“The biblical picture is that God does the decisive work of heart transplant and heart circumcision and heart unhardening, and we are immediately participants in this miracle as conscious, intentional, willing actors renouncing the old heart, cutting away with all of the opposition we can muster the old life, and embracing the new and feeding the new tenderness of heart on God’s word and by God’s Spirit.”-John Piper. **** This is a great article you can read on this topic!***** with scripture cited so you can reference it. 🎁 This podcast is free because of the generosity of families like yours.

    #400: Man in the Mirror
    Jan 7 2026
    James 1:19-25 Today's story reminds us that if we hear God's word but don't actually obey, then we are like a man who looks in the mirror, walks away, and forgets what he looks like. I try to connect the dots for the kids in a way they will understand and be able to apply this story to their own lives.
