Author: Focus on the Family December 25, 2020 Duration: 11:28

What do oxygen, obedience, and getting stuck in a tube all have in common? Listeners find out when Bob's dad takes him and his best friend, Billy, to Henry Hippo's Pizza and Prizes. Bob discovers that God and his dad look at obedience the same way: When we obey, it shows our love for them. Bob and Jesse also answer the question, "Did Jesus disobey His parents when He stayed at the temple instead of returning home?"

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.
