#381: Brave in New Places- Back to school part 1

Author: Jessica White July 30, 2025 Duration: 15:04
📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:1–8 & Joshua 1:1–11 School is starting! And whether your child is excited, nervous, or somewhere in between — this episode offers encouragement straight from the Bible. Join us as we step into the sandals of Joshua — a man about to take on a big new job in a brand-new place. Moses, his wise and aged mentor, passes on the baton, and God reminds Joshua (and us!) of one powerful truth: You don’t have to be brave by yourself — God goes with you. We’ll explore what it means to trust God when facing something new, whether that’s a classroom, a new friend group, or the start of a school year. -------------------------- Thanks to today's voice guest, Clayton Greene. Clayton is one of the co-founders of GoodKind, the maker of Advent Blocks.

Imagine those classic narratives from scripture unfolding right in your living room or car, told with a warmth that captures young imaginations. Each episode uses expressive character voices, rich soundscapes, and thoughtful pacing to transform ancient texts into immediate, relatable adventures.

This podcast fits seamlessly into daily routines, whether it's during a commute, over a meal, or as part of a quiet wind-down. The segments are crafted to be digestible for shorter attention spans, focusing on a single story or theme per installment. By presenting these tales with such care and creativity, the goal is to spark natural conversations about values, kindness, and faith in a context kids understand. It’s about making the foundational stories of Christianity accessible and meaningful for curious young minds, helping them find points of recognition between the lessons in the Bible and their own experiences at home, school, and play. Tuning in regularly offers a consistent, comforting touchpoint for spiritual exploration as a family.
