Helpful Definitions: DISCIPLE — A friend or follower of Jesus APOSTLE — Someone who was sent on a special mission by Jesus and was given special power and authority too. 📖 Bible Passage: Acts 3:6-7 🏡 Try This at Home: 🚶 Go on a walk together as a family and talk about ways God has cared for and helped you. 📖 Read Acts chapter 3 together and talk about why the healed man praised God. 🙏 Pray for someone who is sick or hurting and ask God to help and heal them. 💬 Talk about how sharing the good news about Jesus can help other people trust him too. ❓ 5-Second Fly Through Review: What were the names of the two apostles who went to the temple?

0:00.0	You're listening to God's Big Story, a podcast for kids. Every week we teach the Bible,
0:16.6	sing the Bible, and talk about what it means with a friend or two. I'm your host, Anna,
0:21.6	and I'm here with my co-host Matt. Howdy, friends? Today we're going to talk about how God is in charge of
0:27.4	everything, using a story from the Bible. That's right, Anna. Last time, we talked about how God's
