SUMMER SERIES:  Who Wants to be First? (379)

SUMMER SERIES: Who Wants to be First? (379)

Author: Jessica White July 22, 2026 Duration: 13:31
Mark 10:35–45 In today’s episode, we hear the surprising story of James and John asking Jesus a very big question — and how the other disciples reacted!  Jesus teaches them (and us!) something amazing — true greatness doesn’t come from bossing people around or being first. It comes from serving others, just like Jesus did. He is the King of kings, but He came to help, love, and give His life for us. At the end, we talk about simple ways kids can follow Jesus’ example this week - to keep their eyes open for ways to be a helper. Helpers serve and whether it’s big or small, it makes a  difference.  They are reminded that when you help someone, you are serving — just like Jesus did. He is our perfect example.------------ Want to connect with me or search podcast episodes by topic, scripture, and more, click here: ⁠https://www.kbspodcast.com/⁠ Want ad-free episodes, coloring pages, the Bedtime Stories podcast, and more?

Jessica White hosts Kids Bible Stories, a gentle and engaging audio experience designed for families. 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. The idea is to move beyond a simple reading, creating a space where children can truly listen and connect. 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.
