Author: Focus on the Family January 31, 2025 Duration: 22:26

Average Boy knows what a dilemma is and experiences a lot (two words) of them. Whether it’s delivering an 80-pound fruitcake to Mr. Polvado or helping his neighbor Mrs. Fox gather eggs, he’s able to figure out how to handle a broken window or getting chased by an angry rooster! As the new year begins, AB is faced with another dilemma: How to make the most of each day God gives us? But instead of making his list, AB gets distracted . . . first by the video game River Shiver and then by helping Mr. Polvado clean out his closet. When he finally sits down to work on his list of what to do, he gets frustrated, until his mom has the answer! Bob and Jesse also help a listener learn a little more about the amazing and powerful God that we serve.

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.
