Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous!Have you ever seen someone get something you wanted — maybe your friend got a new phone, someone else got picked first, or a classmate got a higher grade — and you felt that little twist inside that says, “Why not me?”That feeling is called jealousy. And if we’re not careful, it can steal the joy and thankfulness right out of our hearts.In the Bible, there were two brothers named Cain and Abel.Both wanted to bring an offering to God. Abel brought

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous!Have you ever wanted more — maybe a new game, a new phone, or something someone else has — and forgot to thank God for what’s already in your hands?It happens to all of us. Sometimes we get so focused on what’s next that we miss how good we have it right now.A long time ago, God rescued the Israelites from being slaves in Egypt.

Hey friends!

2025/11/13

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous!Have you ever been so hungry that you just couldn’t wait to eat? Maybe you skipped breakfast, and by lunchtime, you were ready to eat anything.That’s kind of what happened to a guy in the Bible named Esau — except his hunger didn’t just cost him lunch… it cost him something much bigger.Esau and Jacob were twin brothers, but Esau was born first. Back then, that meant Esau had something called a birthright — a special blessing and inheritance given to

2025/11/12

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous! Have you ever been in a situation where you felt pressure to fit in — maybe everyone around you was doing something you knew wasn’t right, and you didn’t want to be the only one to stand out?It’s not easy to go against the crowd, but sometimes following God means standing firm even when it’s hard.Today, we’re talking about three brave young men who did exactly that — and how God showed up in the middle of the fire.A long time ago, there was a king

2025/11/11

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous! Have you ever been scared during a storm?Maybe the thunder was so loud it shook the windows, or lightning flashed so bright it lit up your whole room. Sometimes, when things get dark and noisy, it’s easy to feel afraid — not just of storms outside, but of the “storms” in our lives too.Maybe something at school is hard, or a friendship is rocky, or someone you love is sick. Those can all feel like storms.Let’s talk about a time when Jesus’ friends

2025/11/10

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous! Have you ever broken something really special — maybe your favorite toy, a bracelet, or something you made — and thought, “It’s ruined”?Sometimes our hearts can feel like that, too. We make mistakes, we mess up, or we feel like we don’t fit in anymore. But I want to tell you a story about a woman Jesus met who felt exactly like that.One hot afternoon, Jesus was walking through a place called Samaria. He stopped by a well to rest, and a woman came

Strong and Courageous ·

2025/11/07

Hey friends! Welcome back to Strong and Courageous!Today, we’re learning about gratitude. Have you ever gotten a gift or a treat and felt really happy? Being thankful is about noticing and appreciating the good things God gives us every day.📖 Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: ‘Give thanks in all circumstances.’Being thankful isn’t just about saying ‘thanks’ when you get something. It’s about having a heart that notices God’s blessings, even on hard days. Gratitude makes our hearts joyful and helps

Episode 61: Worship Through The Storm

Strong and Courageous ·

2025/11/06

📖 Job 1:21 — “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”Job had everything — a family, success, wealth — and then in one day, he lost it all. Most people would’ve turned their back on God. But Job did something shocking. He fell to the ground… and worshiped.He didn’t pretend it didn’t hurt. He cried, grieved, and asked questions — but even through tears, he said, “Blessed be the name of the Lord.” That’s powerful faith. Because worship isn’t just for the good days

📖 Exodus 17:8–13In Exodus 17, the Israelites were in a battle against the Amalekites. Moses went up on a hill to watch the fight, and God gave him a strange instruction — as long as Moses kept his hands lifted, Israel would win.So he raised his hands — but after a while, they got heavy. His arms started to shake. Every time he lowered them, the enemy began to win again.That’s when two men — Aaron and Hur — stepped in. They brought a rock for Moses to sit on and stood on either side of him, holding

Episode 59: God Is In The Details

2025/11/04

📖 Matthew 10:30 — “And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”You are so special to God.Sometimes we think God only cares about the big things — like major life decisions, miracles, or moments at church. But the Bible says He even knows how many hairs are on your head. That means He pays attention to every tiny detail of your life — even the parts no one else sees.He knows when you’re nervous about something you didn’t tell anyone.He knows the thoughts you keep to yourself.He knows what

📖 Proverbs 26:11 — “As a dog returns to its vomit, so also a fool repeats his foolishness.”Okay… this one’s kind of gross.The Bible says, “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.”Yep, it’s nasty. But that’s exactly why you’ll remember it — because God wanted it to stick. Here’s what it means: when we keep going back to the same mistakes, same bad habits, or same unwise choices, it’s like going back to something disgusting that we should’ve walked away from.Think about it —

Episode 57: Joy Is A Choice

2025/10/31

📖 Philippians 4:4 — “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”Joy doesn’t always come naturally. Sometimes it’s something we have to choose.When Paul wrote this verse — “Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again, rejoice!” — he wasn’t sitting on a beach or celebrating a big victory. He was actually in prison. He had been beaten, chained, and abandoned by people he trusted. Yet in the middle of all that, Paul chose to tell himself, “Rejoice.” He didn’t wait for everything to

God Finishes What He Starts📖 Philippians 1:6 — “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”Sometimes we look at our lives and feel like we’re still under construction — still struggling, still learning, still trying to get it right. It can be discouraging when you don’t feel like you’ve arrived yet.But Philippians 1:6 reminds us of something powerful: God finishes what He starts.That means

God Can Use a Donkey📖 Numbers 22:28 — “Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, ‘What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?’”You’re not going to believe this story — it’s one of the funniest and most unexpected moments in the entire Bible.There was a man named Balaam who was on his way to do something that God didn’t want him to do. He was riding his donkey down the road, but suddenly the donkey stopped. Balaam couldn’t see it, but an angel of the Lord was

2025/10/28

Hey friends! Today I want to tell you a story from the Bible about a woman who couldn’t stop looking back. God was about to destroy two very wicked cities called Sodom and Gomorrah because of all the evil happening there. But before it happened, He sent two angels to rescue a man named Lot and his family. The angels told them, “Hurry! Run for your lives! Don’t look back!” So Lot, his wife, and their daughters started running toward safety. But as they were leaving, Lot’s wife turned around to look

Episode 53: God Is Working Behind The Scenes

Strong and Courageous ·

2025/10/27

Hey friends! I have some trivia for you — which book of the Bible never actually mentions God by name? …Did you guess it? It’s the book of Esther!Sometimes we can feel just like that — like God isn’t even there or like He’s quiet while things are happening in our lives. But even when we can’t see Him or hear Him clearly, God is still working behind the scenes. In the story of Esther, a young woman becomes queen of Persia — and at first, it just seems like an ordinary story about a brave girl in a
