Author: Focus on the Family March 13, 2026 Duration: 25:58

Fore! Or is it "Sixteen"? Either way, watch out for flying golf balls. In this episode, Bob (aka Average Boy) takes us to his youth group golf tournament. While Jesse keeps things "on par" with some silly puns, Bob shares how a day at the links—and several trips into the woods—taught him a huge lesson about pride. From catching armadillos to diving into ponds for extra golf balls (28 of them, to be exact!), Bob’s golfing strategy might be a little "below average," but his heart is in the right place. We also tackle a tough question from a listener about how to keep your cool and show self-control when siblings start pushing your buttons.

Ever wondered what happens when a magazine editor and a stand-up comedian decide to chat about life, faith, and the perfectly average day? That’s the heart of The Official Average Boy Podcast, a production from Focus on the Family. Jesse Florea, from the team behind Clubhouse magazine, teams up with comedian Bob Smiley for conversations that feel like hanging out with friends who just get it. They dive into real topics kids and their families face-like figuring out forgiveness, the meaning of respect, or how to set a goal without getting overwhelmed. It’s not a lecture; it’s a mix of genuine laughs and thoughtful moments that explore how concepts like prayer, self-control, and finding your value connect to everyday adventures. Designed with 8 to 12-year-olds in mind, this podcast turns car rides or after-school downtime into a chance for the whole family to share some entertainment that’s both lighthearted and meaningful. You’ll hear stories, a good dose of humor, and honest talk about living out your faith, all wrapped up in episodes that prove ordinary life is pretty extraordinary. Tune in for a blend of comedy and character that makes this family-friendly podcast a unique listen.
